This paper presents the experimental study of pressure and velocity fluctuations and their interdependence, in the turbulent flow impinging on arrangements of yawed circular cylinders simulating inclined tube banks with square arrangement and a pitch to diameter ratio of 1.26. Measurements were performed with hot-wires and a pressure transducer. Behaviour of fluctuating quantities is described ...

abstract lateral intake is a hydraulic structure which is used for diversion of some portion of water from a river for the purpose of irrigation, storage and industrial. most of lateral intakes from canal are installed at canal with inclined banks which has not received the attention of the researchers in the past. since the flow discharge and sediment which enters the intake canal depends on t...

Unconfined granular flows along an inclined plane are investigated experimentally. During a long transient, the flow gets confined by quasistatic banks but still spreads laterally towards a well-defined asymptotic state following a nontrivial process. Far enough from the banks a scaling for the depth averaged velocity is obtained, which extends the one obtained for homogeneous steady flows. Clo...

This paper shows the differential impact of monetary policy on lending behavior rural banks, with bank channel being operational in small banks. While big banks are able to protect their portfolio from contractionary by size balance sheet, less diversified funding cannot. Moreover, highly capitalized more inclined capital than expand portfolio, following tightening and higher requirement. The i...

vailing currents and use their highly developed sight to stalk prey. Female swordfish grow faster and live longer than males. They reach their maximum size (usually ~350 kg) at about 15 years of age. Male and female swordfish have different distributions depending on size. Within swordfish populations, a proportion of the fish associates with underwater features such as banks and seamounts. Suc...

Abstract A growing group of institutional investors use divestment strategically to deter misconducts that are harmful for the climate and society. Based on Kantian ethics, we propose represents investors’ universal absolute moral commitment socially responsible investing (SRI). Following categorical hypothetical imperatives reciprocity as a norm, hypothesize how commit SRI through strategy aga...

The banking industry in Oman is of major importance to Oman’s economy, yet Omani banks continue to conduct most of their transactions using traditional methods. A strong banking industry significantly supports economic development through efficient financial services, and their role in trying to achieve the objectives outlined by the Sultan of Oman will depend heavily on the industry’s capabili...
