Dams and Floods

open access: yesEngineering, 2017
The possible mitigation of floods by dams and the risk to dams from floods are key problems. The People’s Republic of China is now leading world dam construction with great success and efficiency.

Robust optimization of SVM hyper-parameters for spillway type selection

open access: yesAin Shams Engineering Journal, 2021
Spillways, which play a vital role in dams, can be built in various types. Although several studies have been conducted on hydraulic calculations of spillways, studies on type selection that require heuristics knowledge were limited.

Recent Advances in Laser‐Induced Graphene‐Based Gas Sensors: From Sensing Mechanisms to Biomedical Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Laser‐induced graphene (LIG) provides a scalable, laser‐direct‐written route to porous graphene architecture with tunable chemistry and defect density. Through heterojunction engineering, catalytic functionalization, and intrinsic self‐heating, LIG achieves highly sensitive and selective detection of NOX, NH3, H2, and humidity, supporting next ...

History of Stepped Channels and Spillways: a Rediscovery of the 'Wheel' [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
Recently, spillways with a stepped profile have regained interest and favor among design engineers to pass flood waters over the dams. The stepped geometry enhances the energy dissipation above the spillway and reduces the size of a downstream stilling ...

Defect‐Functionalization‐Mediated Tunneling Drives Nonlinear Photoemission in Perovskites

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This cover illustration depicts CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals embedded with functionalized defect vacancies, where electrons migrate through defect‐mediated pathways and emit as lightning‐like beams. The imagery visualizes the core discovery of our work—defect‐functionalization‐mediated tunneling enabling nonlinear photoemission, where deep‐level ...

Study of Conveniency of Using Stepped Spillway in Roller Compacted Concrete Dams (RCCD) [PDF]

open access: yesEngineering and Technology Journal, 2009
A suggested design of Bastora stepped spillway has been taken as a prototype to build a physical wooden model with scale of 1:20 (Lm/Lp). Experiments have been carried out on the model with slope of upward inclined steps of 420, 280, 140 and 00.

A Dual‐Channel Synergistic Ultrasensitive Biosensor for Tumor Liquid Biopsy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Liquid biopsy technology, which detects circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in cerebrospinal fluid, plays a crucial role in the early diagnosis and precision treatment of gliomas. However, the intrinsically low abundance and rapid clearance of ctDNA pose substantial challenges for conventional analytical techniques, such as droplet digital PCR and ...
