Physical Modeling of Local Scouring around Bridge Piers in Erodable Bed
Journal of King Saud University: Engineering Sciences, 2007 The construction of bridges in alluvial channels will cause a contraction in the waterway at the bridge site. The contraction in the waterway will cause a significant scour at that site.

The extension of the taxon cycle model to island plants: insights from the Canarian vascular flora
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Taxon cycle models describe eco‐evolutionary patterns of lineage colonization, diversification, and decline across archipelagos, inferring an important role for competition amongst ecologically similar taxa in driving concurrent niche changes.

Partners or passengers? Revisiting the association between diatoms and aquatic animals
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Numerous studies have revealed the importance of research on the communities capable of colonizing animal surfaces (epibionts) and the animals on which they live (basibionts). Very few studies have considered epizoic diatoms, and there are gaps and biases in our knowledge, including the choice of basibionts, the methods used, and the habitats ...

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Growing environmental awareness has intensified demand for sustainability and transparency, especially in cruise tourism, a high‐impact and highly scrutinised service context. This study examines how green consumption values (GCV) shape passengers' perceptions of the credibility of green marketing claims (believability) and, in turn, influence

Numerical Investigation of Local Scour Around Bridge Pile-Group Foundations Under Steady Flows
InfrastructuresLocal scour around pile-group foundations is a predominant cause of hydraulic instability in bridge engineering. This study employs a fully coupled three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model to investigate local scour around a 2 × 2 inline pile

Calculation of foundation scour for new debris flow grille dam with ground anchor and counterfort
Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2018 The foundation play a significant role in the reliability of debris flow grille dam. Compared with the exposed structures, foundation scour under debris flows is more important. On the basis of a new proposed debris flow grille dam with ground anchor and

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.This work applies multi‐objective optimization to investigate trade‐offs between different objectives in syngas production with solid‐oxide cell co‐electrolysis. Two system designs are investigated. By systematically exploring tradeoffs between different objectives, insights, and comparisons of the operation of these designs are achieved.

Influence of scour depth and flow velocity field on large-diameter pier group pile foundations
Frontiers in Marine ScienceSea-crossing bridges face critical challenges due to scour, which can destabilize foundations. This study investigates the scour characteristics of the large-diameter main pier of the Haiwen Bridge, with a pile diameter of 4.3 meters. Seabed changes were
