Jet Flow on Stepped Spillways [PDF]
The authors provided interesting data on stepped spillway flows. The writer would like to add some information on flow resistance of skimming flows and discuss the energy dissipation on stepped chutes. It will be shown that the author's results are not dissimilar with results previously obtained by other researchers (table A1).

Farmers' Preferences for Gene Editing Crops and Influencing Factors
ABSTRACT Gene editing (GE) is gaining momentum worldwide, but limited data on UK farmers' preferences hinders our understanding of its potential impact amid deregulation debates. Based on a survey of 200 English arable farmers, we employ a Latent Class Analysis and Multinomial Logit regressions to investigate current preferences for GE crops.

The stepped spillway is a hydraulic structure that uses steps to decrease the energy in the stilling basin, which can reduce the cost of maintenance and repair of the hydraulic structure that results from scouring issues.

Dynamic Pressure Fluctuations in Stepped Three-Side Spillway [PDF]
One type of outlet works in dams are Three-side spillways that despite of their hydraulic limitations and construction problems, they were being selected, in storage dams, as best option under specific topographical conditions. Considerable energy losses

Experimental and numerical simulation of flow over stepped spillways
Stepped spillways are used in the construction of dams, river engineering and soil conservation projects. Energy dissipation in this structure due to the presence of several steps is high, so the construction costs for stilling basin are reduced.

Hydraulic Design of Stepped Spillways
An experimental study on a large model flume using fiber-optical instrumentation indicated that the onset of skimming flow is a function of critical depth, chute angle, and step height. Uniform mixture depths that determine the height of chute sidewalls and uniform equivalent clear water depths are described in terms of a roughness Froude number ...

Human‐in‐the‐Loop Swarms: A Bionic Swarm Approach to Real‐World Soil Mapping
This article introduces the “Bionic Swarm,” a novel system that lowers the barriers to real‐world swarm validation by abstracting difficult hardware tasks to app‐guided human agents. We demonstrate the system's utility through the experimental validation of a geotechnical soil‐mapping swarm algorithm and show superior performance to baseline approaches

Dimensionless Equations for Hydraulic Jump Stilling Basins Downstream of Gabion Stepped Chutes [PDF]
Flows in stepped chutes built with gabions have been studied for about four decades and have found applications mainly in small dams and drainage systems.

Hydraulic design of stepped spillways
Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) is becoming an increasingly popular method of constructing and protecting dam embankments. RCC naturally lends itself to a stepped configuration by the construction technique of roller compacting successive horizontal concrete lifts. To date, there have been numerous RCC stepped spillways constructed worldwide, yet there
