Abstract:
... Sediment waves, a term that describes the fluvial transport of a discrete sediment influx, have been studied in regard to channel response to infrequent catastrophic events, such as mass movements or dam removal. However, few researchers have studied (1) the potential presence of sediment waves of annual or sub-annual scale in mixed eolian-fluvial geomorphic environments or (2) the role of large w ...

Abstract:
... Building cooling drives the peak electric demand in summer; therefore, it is an important component in energy related costs. While there have been efforts to optimize chiller(s) on individual buildings and/or district cooling systems, previous studies use simplified models for the involved components (e.g., cooling towers, pumps) that do not fully represent the actual performance of components or ...

Lizards differed in their pattern of movement in the 2 habitats. FPTs were s ...

Many important decisions that influence emerging EWL nexus issues are implemented at regional (e.g., large river basin, electricity grid) and sub-regional (e.g., small river basin, irrigation district) scales. However, actual implementation of integrated plan ...
