Subject:
basins,   etc   ; algorithms; water power;     Show all 3 Subjects
Abstract:
... At times, various analytical and empirical approaches used to estimate the initial sizing of a desilting basin in a hydropower project would give very different results and the designer has to take a call judiciously. The purpose of this study is to develop a monograph based on Teaching–Learning-Based Optimization and Gravitational Search algorithm for a practical range of depth of desilting basin ...

Abstract:
... Innumerable falls are to be provided in irrigation canals where ground slope exceeds the permissible bed slope of a canal. In the conventional method of design, fluming ratio is fixed arbitrarily irrespective of inflow Froude’s number. Long lengths of inlet and outlet transitions are provided to prevent flow separation. Transition and dissipation structures are kept separate resulting in high cost ...

Abstract:
... The traditional methodologies to determine hydrologic drought use standardized drought indexes, which do not express a drought’s severity in terms of the volume deficit and do not consider water demand as a component of its calculation. To overcome these disadvantages, this work presents a method for the assessment of hydrological drought that determines the volume of water below its demand. A dro ...

Abstract:
... Hardgrounds from the Upper Ordovician strata of eastern Laurentia exhibit a wide range of morphologies, though the development of their complex surface topographies remains poorly understood. These early lithified seafloors, which can be laterally very extensive, may provide key information about basin dynamics and global ocean fluctuations. Based on spectacular exposures and newly-excavated mater ...

Abstract:
... Many studies have analyzed historical trends in annual peak flows in the United States because of the importance of flooding to bridges and other structures, and the concern that human influence may increase flooding. To help attribute causes of historical peak-flow changes, it is important to separate basins by characteristics that have different influences on peak flows. We analyzed historical t ...

Abstract:
... The influence of biotic processes in controlling the development of meandering channels in fluvial systems is controversial. The majority of the depositional history of the Earth's continents was devoid of significant biogeomorphic interactions, particularly those between vegetation and sedimentation processes. The prevailing perspective has been that prevegetation meandering channels rarely devel ...

Abstract:
... For the Upper Triassic, conodonts are the primary tools utilized in biostratigraphic investigations. For an effective biostratigraphic zonation, the species should be constrained by clear phylogenetic relationships, in which the stratigraphic ranges and taxonomy are reliable. Unfortunately, a phylogenetic framework for the Late Triassic pectiniform conodonts is almost missing, except for particula ...
