The Cow or the Credit: Causal Relationship Between California Dairy Herd Consolidation and Anaerobic Digesters

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The California dairy industry has experienced considerable consolidation over the past 30 years. During this period, there has also been substantial technological innovation, implementation of the state's Low Carbon Fuel Standard program, and rapid adoption of anaerobic digesters.

Numerical modeling of hydraulic jumps at negative steps to improve energy dissipation in stilling basins

open access: yesApplied Water Science, 2023
The performance of stilling basins including a negative step was analyzed addressing its effect on the energy dissipation efficiency, dimensions and structural properties of the hydraulic jump, streambed pressures and pressure fluctuations. Six different

Modelling Stilling Basins for Sewage Networks

open access: yesIOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2020
Abstract Concrete elements play an effective role in stilling basin design in terms of enhancing the dissipation of energy to prevent immoderate scouring of downstream structures. Proper appurtenances, such as wedge-shaped splitter blocks, baffle walls, inverted t-sections, rectangular walls, inverted L sections, and impact walls, are ...

When the River Runs Low: Heterogeneous Impacts of Transportation Disruptions on Local Grain Basis

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A substantial share of U.S. soybean and corn exports from the Midwest moves by barge along the Mississippi River system to export terminals in the Louisiana Gulf. Transportation costs between Midwestern grain elevators and export terminals create a wedge between prices at these locations, and shocks to these costs are partially passed on to ...

Experimental Investigation of the Effect of Hydraulic Jump Location on Flow Velocity in Type II Stilling Basin [PDF]

open access: yesعلوم و مهندسی آبیاری, 2014
Hydraulic condition of stilling basin, in particular, the flow rate passing through chute spillway, as well as the location of hydraulic jump plays an important role on velocity fluctuations in a stilling basin.

Theoretical Criterion for Stability of Free Hydraulic Jump on Adverse Stilling Basins [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Hydraulic Structures, 2014
Hydraulic jump on adverse stilling basin is an unstable phenomenon which causes some complexities in controlling of the   jump. This paper considers the stability of free hydraulic jump on adverse stilling basins from a theoretical point of view.

Effects of Outsourced Agricultural Extension Services on the Technical Efficiency and Financial Returns of Soybean Farms in Northern Cameroon

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the agricultural landscape of most developing countries, the last decade has witnessed the expansion of outsourced agricultural extension services. Private firms and nongovernmental organizations focused on delivering agricultural extension and advisory services to farmers have emerged.

Long‐term prognosis is associated with residual disease after neoadjuvant systemic therapy but not with initial nodal status

open access: yesBJS (British Journal of Surgery), EarlyView., 2020
This long‐term follow‐up study determined survival rates in a Swedish national cohort of 417 patients with breast cancer who all had neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NAST). Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) was performed before NAST in clinically node‐negative and after NAST in clinically node‐positive patients.

Energy efficiency and length modification of stilling basins with variable Baffle and chute block designs: A case study of the Fewa hydroelectric project

open access: yesOpen Engineering
Stilling basin, a hydraulic structure that is commonly placed downstream of the spillways or outlets for decreasing the energy of the flow and consequently the erosion, and protecting hydraulic structures.
