Simple design criterion for residual energy on embankment dam stepped spillways [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The stepped spillway design is associated with significant flow resistance and associated energy dissipation on the steps, yielding smaller, more economical downstream dissipation structures. A number of design guidelines were developed for steep stepped

A simple and affordable protocol to assess censer seed dispersal: First confirmation of the mechanism in the genus Solanum

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The censer seed dispersal mechanism, whereby mature fruits are retained on plants and seeds dispersed by mechanical shaking, is among the most specialized wind‐aided seed dispersal strategies employed by the flowering plants. An efficient, affordable, and easily repeatable protocol for determining whether a species uses this unusual ...

Baffle Pier Effects on Hydraulic Performance and Scour Downstream of Sluice Gates

open access: yesJournal of Engineering and Sustainable Development
Sluice gates control water levels and discharge them into small irrigation canals. This study examined a modified stilling basin incorporating submerged baffle piers downstream.

B-f jump characteristics in smooth sloping beds [PDF]

open access: yesمهندسی منابع آب, 2019
Beacause of the hydraulic jump unstable behavior in adverse-slope stilling basins downstream of sloping beds, the jump toe is transmitted on sloping bed. Therefore, formation of the B-F jump is common in practice.

Experimental and numerical modeling of various energy dissipater designs in chute channels

open access: yesApplied Water Science, 2022
Energy dissipater in the stilling basin is a structure designed to protect downstream of the spillway from erosion and scour by reducing flow energy in the energy dissipation pool.

Preliminary study of the aquatic macrophytes of selected fish ponds and reservoirs in Makurdi, Benue State, Nigeria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
A five months survey was conducted to identify the aquatic macrophytes in fishponds and reservoirs in Makurdi (Benue State, Nigeria) between August and December 1999.

Sequent depth ratio of B jumps on smooth and rough beds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A hydraulic B-jump has the toe section located on a positively sloping upstream channel and the roller end on a downstream horizontal channel. This paper analyses the B-jump on a rough bed, such as at the transition from a block ramp to the stilling ...

Bottom pressure characteristics in a stilling basin downstream of a stepped spillway for two different chute slopes

open access: yes, 2020
In the last decades numerous stepped spillways were built, mostly on the downstream face of roller compacted concrete (RCC) dams. Stilling basins are often used as an energy dissipater.

A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...
