Evaluation of empirical equations for scour downstream grade-control weirs
, 2018 The grade control structures are frequently adopted in the Mountain Rivers and streams to prevent severe bed degradation and channel incision. These structures are constructed as a staircase-like sequence of transverse weirs or bed sills.

Numerical investigation of downstream variations in bed‐surface characteristic grain size
River, EarlyView.Abstract The understanding of downstream fining in the characteristic grain sizes of river beds is well established, whereas downstream coarsening remains poorly understood and is often considered counterintuitive. This study has employed a one‐dimensional (1D) coupled mathematical model of nonuniform sediment transport to elucidate the mechanisms ...

Sacrificial piles as a countermeasure against local scour around underwater pipelines
Water Science and EngineeringLocal scour around pipelines crossing rivers or in marine environments is a significant concern. It can lead to failure of the pipelines resulting in environmental side effects and economic losses.

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Technological progress and population growth have increased global pork demand; leading to a rise of methane emission from pig farming, a key contributor to climate change. Anaerobic digestion offers a sustainable solution by converting manure into biogas.

Camels as a Climate‐Resilient Linchpin for Sustainable Development in Global Drylands
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Camels represent a significant, yet underutilized, asset for advancing integrated sustainable development in the world's expanding drylands. Previous reviews have examined camels' physiology, milk composition, or pastoral systems in isolation; this review examines their potential as a climate‐resilient linchpin for food systems by synthesizing

Temporal variation of local scour at bridge piers with complex geometries
, 2012 Scour at uniform cylindrical piers founded in cohesionless sediments has received much attention over the last decades and there are extensive laboratory data for these conditions in literature.

The Legacies of Lockdown: Moral Logics of Exchange and Mistrust in Postpandemic China
Economic Anthropology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT When Shanghai entered an extended lockdown under China's Zero‐COVID policy in spring 2022, residents found themselves confined within their residential compounds, cut off from conventional supply chains, and dependent on improvised systems of local provisioning and state rationing. From the perspective of economic anthropology, such conditions

“Touching the Tarmac”: Conjuring the Urban Frontier on a Remote Periphery
Economic Anthropology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Anthropologists have demonstrated how the creation of land markets as “frontiers” for global capital requires practices of “conjuring”—the narrative construction of place as desirable for large‐scale investment. This article emphasizes the contingency of this conjuring process in an urbanizing Kenya where land‐selling companies have emerged to

A review of recent advances in numerical modelling of local scour problems
, 2014 A review is presented of recent advances in numerical modelling of local scour problems. The review is organized in five sections: Highlights of numerical modelling of local scour; Influence of turbulence on scour; Backfilling of scour holes; Scour ...
