Estimation of maximum scour depth downstream of an apron under submerged wall jets

open access: yesJournal of Hydroinformatics, 2019
An analysis of laboratory experimental data pertaining to local scour downstream of a rigid apron developed under wall jets is presented. The existing equations for the prediction of the maximum scour depth under wall jets are applied to the available ...

Who is local and what do they know? Braiding knowledges within carnivore management in Europe

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Growing recognition of Indigenous Peoples and traditional local communities as stewards of biodiversity has brought to the fore the issues of knowledge and value pluralism in conservation policy and practice. Given their basis in practical and multi‐generational experience, Indigenous and local knowledges are highly relevant to managing human ...

Maximum scour depth at piers in armor-beds

open access: yesKSCE Journal of Civil Engineering, 2009
The paper presents a design method to determine the maximum equilibrium scour depth at piers embedded in a sand-bed overlain by a thin armor-layer of gravels using the experimental data of Dey and Raikar and those of Ettema. The proposed equation is in terms of empirical relationships, termed K-factors, which account for the effects of flow depth, pier

Enabling effective urban green space stewardship through planning: A qualitative comparative analysis in Southwest England

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Amid increasing urbanisation and biodiversity decline, ‘effective stewardship’ of urban green space (UGS) is a complex but critical nature‐based solution for long‐term environmental, social and economic gain. Combining stewardship and sense‐of‐place frameworks with European nature‐based solutions guidance, we investigate which social and ...

Mechanical plaque removal in step‐1 of care

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Maintaining a regular oral hygiene routine is essential for taking care of our mouths, ensuring healthy teeth, and achieving fresh breath. Patient education on oral hygiene is an important component of their overall treatment. Firstly, patients should be informed about the direct connection between bacteria in dental plaque and oral diseases ...

Local scour around complex pier groups and combined piles at semi-integral bridge

open access: yesJournal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2014
This research presents an experimental study on the scouring mechanism at semi-integral bridge piers. Based on laboratory experiments, this study focuses on the relationship between scour depth in complex pier groups and combined piles bridge and various

Some observations on washout of brown trout (Salmo trutta L.) eggs in Teesdale streams [PDF]

open access: yes, 1981
Brown trout (Salmo trutta) in Teesdale lay their eggs in the streambed gravels in the Autumn, here the eggs slowly develop to emerge as young fry in the Spring.

Waterborne GPR survey for estimating bottom-sediment variability: A survey on the Po River, Turin, Italy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We conducted an integrated geophysical survey on a stretch of the river Po in order to check the GPR ability to discriminate the variability of riverbed sediments through an analysis of the bottom reflection amplitudes.

Scaling of Scour Depth at Bridge Pier Based on Characteristic Dimension of Large-Scale Vortex

open access: yesWater, 2019
By examining the variations in the dimensions of a horseshoe vortex system in front of a pier, the present study proposes a new length scale, called pier hydraulic radius, for the scaling of the maximum scour depth at a bridge pier.
