The Western Irish Namurian Basin reassessed [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Current basin models for the Western Irish Namurian Basin (WINB) envisage an elongate trough along the line of the present-day Shannon Estuary that was infilled with clastic sediments derived from a hinterland that lay to the W or NW.

ON THE BRIGHTER SIDE OF THE NIGHT: Discovering Community and Care in Night Shift Work

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Within the burgeoning attention being paid to the night‐time economy (NTE) in and by cities, the demands and impacts of night work have gathered increasingly scholarly attention. Research has centred on the darker side of these, pointing to workers' precarity and vulnerability. What if we attend also to a ‘brighter side’ of the night and night

Assessment of Road Crossings for Improving Migratory Fish Passage in the Winnicut River Watershed [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This report summarizes the results of a river continuity assessment focused on roadstream crossings. The Winnicut River is the site of a restoration project that removed a head-of-tide dam and resulted in the only free-flowing major tributary to the ...

Validation of some bridge pier scour formulae using field and laboratory data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Estimation of maximum local scour depth at the bride pier site is necessary for the safety and economy of the designed bridge. Numerous formulae are available and almost all of these formulae were developed based on laboratory data.

Story2Board: A Training‐Free Approach for Expressive Visual Storytelling

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We present Story2Board, a training‐free framework for expressive storyboard generation from natural language. Existing methods narrowly focus on subject identity, overlooking key aspects of visual storytelling such as spatial composition, background evolution, and narrative pacing.

Local scour around complex pier groups and combined piles at semi-integral bridge

open access: yesJournal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2014
This research presents an experimental study on the scouring mechanism at semi-integral bridge piers. Based on laboratory experiments, this study focuses on the relationship between scour depth in complex pier groups and combined piles bridge and various

Living on the edge: How do tiger rattlesnakes (Crotalus tigris) navigate a residential golf course development?

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Outdoor recreation and the infrastructure that supports it can impose a wide range of effects on wildlife, and impacts can vary in their severity based on taxa, the surrounding landscape matrix, and the manner in which recreational spaces are managed.

Dynamic Behavior of Bed Material around Bridge Pier under Abrupt Change of Water Pressure [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Major failure of structures usually occurs during flood flows due to scourin, sinking and sliding. These types of failure are considered to be in close relation to the dynamic behavior of bed material around the structures.

Demonstration of an instream flow model to accommodate a threatened tiger beetle in riverine dune habitat

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Burrows of the threatened Gibson's Big Sand Tiger Beetle in riverine dune habitats are susceptible to flooding through managed flows. HEC‐RAS modelling identified the flow thresholds above which flooding would occur for burrows and affect the beetle larvae. These findings provide instream flow guidelines for conserving this threatened species and guide
