Blockage of Piano Key Weirs in Debris Flow with Individual Experiments [PDF]
علوم و مهندسی آبیاری, 2016 Due to the problems of hydraulic structures at blocking bodies in debris flows this research has been carried out. Hence, in this study the effect of the trap drop bodies such as logs and branches of trees on piano key weirs at individual step was ...

Indigenous biocultural rights and the Blue Mountains: Local and international policy challenges
Geographical Research, Volume 61, Issue 4, Page 413-428, November 2023., 2023 Abstract Indigenous knowledges play a critical role in addressing the environmental crisis, and the United Nations system has adopted a suite of international treaties to protect and strengthen Indigenous peoples’ rights, which are often described as biocultural rights.

River Research and Applications, Volume 39, Issue 5, Page 942-953, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Global changes and local pressures related to the exploitation of water resources are significantly reducing streams' biodiversity and threatening their ecological balance. This trend concerns both the lowland rivers flowing in densely populated areas and the mountain headwaters, where the effects of global change are dramatically evident and ...

Global Change Biology, Volume 29, Issue 11, Page 3019-3038, June 2023., 2023 Climate change is increasing dryness in southwestern Australia, causing permanent streams to switch to intermittent flows. Aquatic macroinvertebrates showed seven general responses to drying (i.e., 1980s vs. 2016/17), including localised extinction, persisted but became less common, or became more common.

RESCUE: A geomorphology‐based, hydrologic‐hydraulic model for large‐scale inundation mapping
Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 15, Issue 4, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Flood mapping is a key stage for detecting vulnerable areas, assessing floods impacts, identifying damages, and mitigation plans. Despite of the available guidelines for flood mapping following EU Floods Directive, coherent and comprehensive official flood hazard maps at the national scale are still missing, at least in the EU.

Geography and film music: Musicology, gender, and the spatiality of instrumental music
Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 46, Issue 3, Page 570-583, September 2021., 2021 Musical geographies have previously focused on spatial meaning in lyrics. This paper sets out a research agenda for examining spatial meaning in instrumental music. To do so, it offers an extended case study of film music by the American composer James Horner (1953–2015). Film and music are key concerns in human geography.

Experimental comparison of discharge coefficient of A-type piano key and labyrinth side weirs with different heights [PDF]
Journal of Applied Research in Water and WastewaterHydraulic structures have a long history, with weirs being among the earliest developed; a notable example of these is the side weir. Side weirs are of different shapes, including a nonlinear weir installed on the dam crest.

Tecnología y ciencias del agua, 2020 Heavy seasonal rains over a dam reservoir can lead to huge floods and consequent failure of the dam structure. One way of controlling the adverse effects of heavy rains is to use weirs with larger dimensions such as piano key weirs (PKWs).
