The momentum equation in the kinematic wave model is a power-law equation with two parameters. These parameters, which relate the discharge to the flow area, are commonly derived using Manning’s equation. In general, the values of these parameters depend on the flow depth except for some special cross sections. In this paper, improved estimates of the kinematic wave parameters for circular chan...

The aim of our study was to investigate whether different circle sizes, in conditions of pure size judgment and in a simple contextual judgment with an interfering depth suggesting background, produce different size perceptions. We used the magnitude estimation to obtain the apparent size of circles under two different experimental conditions: with a neutral black background and with a converge...

The breadth and depth of ESL learners’ vocabulary knowledge and their comprehensive linguistic competence are not well studied in current literatures on vocabulary studies. This paper explores the creditability of depth and breadth of ESL learners’ vocabulary knowledge as an indicator of their overall linguistic competence and the correlation between depth and breadth of ESL learners’ vocabular...

This study evaluated cephalometric differences between 113 Japanese (43 males and 70 females, aged 14.1 ± 5 years) and 106 European subjects (36 males and 70 females, aged 13.5 ± 7.3 years) using two compound angular measurements and their single components: the overbite depth indicator (ODI) for the assessment of vertical skeletal relationships and the antero-posterior dysplasia indicator (APD...
