In this paper, a physics-based model that couples a bank erosion model with a meander evolution model is developed and evaluated.The physics-based bank erosion model considers the cantilever failure mechanism with slump blocks and decomposition effects.Moreover, bank accretion was considered using critical values of time required for landing, shear
The capability of plants of increasing the ecosystem resistance to pests and invasive species is a well-known ecosystem service.However, monocultures (including vineyards) do not exploit the potential of plant diversity.The aims of this research are to develop new viticultural systems based on increased plant diversity within (e.g., cover crops) an
Abstract This paper discusses how a small volunteer library changed after attending a symposium on BREAD CRUMBS Indigenous Librarianship and metadata.It provides an introduction to the Aboriginal Teacher Education Program Library, how it was formed, and the decision making process behind it.The paper goes on to summarize key points from speakers at
Abstract Background This study aims to assess orthopaedic surgeon knowledge in Brazil about ionizing radiation and its Vacuum Pet Brush health implications on surgical teams and patients.Methods A 15-question survey on theoretical and practical concepts of ionizing radiation was administered during the 23rd Brazilian Orthopaedic Trauma Association
This chapter presents a reliability study for an offshore jacket structure with emphasis on the features of nonconventional modeling.Firstly, a random set model is formulated for modeling the random waves in an Lobster/Crab Crackers ocean site.Then, a jacket structure is investigated in a pushover analysis to identify the critical wave direction an
