Increased Insulin Action, Glucose Metabolism and Muscle Function in Supervillin‐Knockout and Supervillin‐Mutant Mice

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We here describe mouse models with complementary homozygous Svil mutations. In skeletal muscle, Svil‐Mut mice express the Svil‐encoded N‐terminus fused to the βgal‐neo gene‐trap tag and lack the highly conserved archvillin C‐terminus; Svil‐KO mice lack expression of all known Svil‐encoded proteins; and Svil‐LoxP mice contain loxP sites for ...

Comparison of Bed Topography for the Permeable and Impermeable Spur Dikes Group [PDF]

open access: yesعلوم و مهندسی آبیاری, 2015
In recent decades spur dike has been one of the methods for bank protection and sediment deposition in rivers. In fact the spur dikes decrease the erosion and sediment potential rate of flow between them by improving the flow hydraulic conditions and ...

The Impacts of Chief Sustainability Officers' Structural Power on Corporate Social Responsibility Performance

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extant literature assumes that powerful executives can wield their influence with minimal opposition from lower‐power actors. We reconsider this assumption by incorporating the coalitional view in which lower‐power actors can mobilize coalitions to resist.

Numerical Simulation of Turbulence and Flow Velocity Distribution Around the Spur Dike Using FLUENT

open access: yes, 2017
Spur dikes are the intersecting or transverse structures, which are projected from the river bank toward the flow axis and cause diversion and direction of the flow from the banks towards central axis of the river.

Effects of distance between the T-shaped spur dikes on flow and scour patterns in 90° bend using the SSIIM model

open access: yesAin Shams Engineering Journal, 2016
In this paper, flow and scour patterns resulted from the installation of two T-shaped spur dikes were evaluated in a 90° bend under clear water conditions.

Governance Drivers of Fossil Fuel Divestment: Evidence From Global Banks

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change poses increasing transition risks for the banking sector, as financial institutions remain exposed to fossil fuel activities despite growing sustainability commitments. This study examines whether corporate governance influences banks' decisions to adopt fossil fuel divestment policies.

On local scour around spur dikes

open access: yes, 2000
Estimation of possible maximal scour depth around the head of spur dikes is an important step in the design of spur dikes foundation. This paper briefly analyses the characteristics of flow pattern and the complex eddy structure near the head of the spur

Water Governance Under International Pressure: Policy Narratives, Food Security, Scarcity, and the Politics of Survival in Iran

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water governance is increasingly influenced by a paradox at the nexus of environmental scarcity and food security. Escalating water scarcity crises coincide with geopolitical disruptions that have exposed the fragility of global food supply chains, prompting states to expand domestic food production at the expense of water conservation ...

TWO DIMENSIONAL NUMERICAL MODELING OF FLOW IN TRAPEZOIDAL BEND CHANNEL USING SPUR DIKE

open access: yes, 2015
A two-dimensional hydraulic flow model was developed using the SMS software (Surface Water Modeling System) to simulate the flow properties(thalweg line location) for meander in trapezoidal section channel, and its changes when a single emerge spur dike ...
