Prediction of scour depths is an important aspect related to the overall stability of hydraulic structures.In this research, small-scale laboratory experiments were carried out to explore the effectiveness of mixing different percentages of Nanomaterial (Silica fume) to non-cohesive (alluvial) movable bed soil to develop mixture of bed material wit
BackgroundEmerging technologies and societal changes create new ethical concerns and greater need for cross-disciplinary and cross-stakeholder communication on navigating ethics in research.Scholarly articles are the primary mode of communication for researchers, however there are concerns regarding the expression of research ethics in these output
Entropy is a basic and important concept in information theory.It is also often used as a measure of the unpredictability of a cryptographic key in cryptography research areas.Ubiquitous computing (Ubi-comp) has emerged rapidly as an exciting luce chandelier new paradigm.In this special issue, we mainly selected and discussed papers related with or
read more Chondrichthyans are apex predators influencing the trophic web through a top-down process thus their depletion will affect the remaining biota.Notwithstanding that, research on chondrichthyans is sparse or data-limited in several biogeographic areas worldwide, including the Levantine Sea.We revise and update the knowledge of chondrichthya
The wheel-rail wear was predicted for modern trams with independently rotating wheelset running on a groove-shaped rail.The tram vehicle-track coupled dynamics model, considering the wheel-rail multi-point contact, was developed using software UM to evaluate the dynamic responses of the vehicle and track.Hertz contact theory, the FastSim algorithm,
