INFLUENCE OF AERATION INDUCED BY PIERS ON THE STARTING POSITION OF THE FLOW AERATION AND EXTREME PRESSURES IN STEPPED SPILLWAYS

Influence of aeration induced by piers on the starting position of the flow aeration and extreme pressures in stepped spillways

ABSTRACT The operation of stepped spillways is limited by Exfoliant a range of discharges due to the risk of occurrence of the cavitation phenomenon and erosion on its steps.Since there is a demand for spillways with the possibility of overflow of greater discharges, the designs seek to increase the air concentration of the flow, which can occur th

Assessment of Competition between Mungbean (Vigna radiata) and Lambsquarters (Chenopodium album) under Soil Dust Condition

IntroductionDust storms are meteorological phenomena that usually occur in arid and semi-arid regions with an annual rainfall of less than 200 to 250 mm when strong winds blow with a high speed.Dust particles affect plants growth and development directly by depositing in shoot or indirectly by changing soil chemical properties (Maletsika et al., 20

Toxic Assessment of Heavily Traffic-related Fine Particulate Matter Using an in-vivo Wild-type Caenorhabditis elegans Model

Abstract In association with the mortality rate due to air pollution, vehicular emitted fine particles (PM2.5) are a threat to public health.PM2.5-induced in-vivo studies on environmental microorganisms can be used to assess the adverse impacts of PM2.5 on human health.In the present study, the 517 toxicity of traffic-related-air-pollutant (TRAP) P
