Mechanics of local scour: supplement, methods of reducing scour
, 1966 The purpose of this report is to summarize the results of tests conducted at Colorado State University on the hydraulic feasibility of reducing scour by modifying pier shapes. The following models were investigated: 1. Sharp nosed piers. 2. Rectangular pier on flat footing supported on piles. 3.

Geological Journal, EarlyView.In this study, we re‐examine the depositional architecture of the Erfoud limestone in Morocco. Introducing new biostratigraphic constraints from chitinozoan assemblages, we show that Katian to Hirnantian bryozoan‐pelmatozoan meadows reflect flooding events linked to a series of interglacial transgressions known to have occurred immediately prior to the

Obstetrics and gynecology devices designed for low‐ and middle‐income countries: A narrative review
International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 169, Issue 1, Page 71-80, April 2025.Abstract There are many barriers contributing to poor health outcomes for women in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs), one of which is the lack of necessary medical devices. Presently, the development of various kinds of devices intended to improve women's health outcomes specifically in LMICs remains underrepresented in the literature; therefore,
