Using Fine Sediment Monitoring to Quantify Sand Loading Over Time
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Riverine sand loading can lead to geomorphic change, impacting river processes like lateral migration and vertical aggradation or degradation. Yet many sediment monitoring programs track only fine sediment measurable as total suspended solids (TSS). Here, we assess the ability for TSS data to be used to determine sand loading.

Isokinetic exercise: A review of the literature [PDF]
Isokinetic muscle training has all the advantages of isometrics and isotonics while minimizing their deficiencies. By holding the speed of movement constant throughout the full range of motion, isokinetic training devices respond with increased ...

On the relaxation to nonequilibrium steady states [PDF]
, 2016 The issue of relaxation has been addressed in terms of ergodic theory in the past. However, the application of that theory to models of physical interest is problematic, especially when dealing with relaxation to nonequilibrium steady states.

Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.Thermal degradation mechanism and kinetic triplets of Nafion N115 were elucidated via TGA, kinetic compensation analysis, Sestak–Berggren reconstruction, quantum calculations, and GC–MS. A diffusion‐controlled model governs active pyrolysis, although persistent perfluorinated products were identified, highlighting environmental implications and ...

The centre of rotation of the shoulder complex and the effect of normalisation [PDF]
, 2016 Shoulder motions consist of a composite movement of three joints and one pseudo-joint, which together dictate the humerothoracic motion. The purpose of this work was to quantify the location of the centre of rotation (CoR) of the shoulder complex as a ...

Allochthonous chemical cues drive predation by a top carnivore
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Identifying the mechanisms by which mobile predators detect and select prey remains a central challenge in sensory biology and functional ecology. This study provides the first direct evidence that chemical cues associated with allochthonous organic matter (e.g.
