Abstract: Stormwater quality has become an increasingly important issue in agricultural, urban, and construction sectors. Soil, nutrient, and pollutant discharge caused during rainfall events is one of the greatest sources of ...

Abstract: In Tanzania, like in many other countries in the Sub-Saharan region, the government is implementing an ambitious rural water supply and sanitation plan (RWSSP) to increase access to water from 53% in 2005 to 90% by 2025. ...

Abstract: The original formulation of the MRS-Lade model, with nonassociated flow rule on the meridian plane in the cone region, has a corner. In order to reduce the computational effort of corner solution algorithms, a modified ...

Abstract: In this paper the behaviors of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) with an anteriorly displaced disk without reduction and with a surgically repositioned one were compared with the response of a ...

Abstract: One of the essential causes of disk disorders is the pathologic change in the ligamentous attachments of the disk-condyle complex. In this paper, the response of the soft components of a human ...

Abstract: This study used a large-scale ASTM International D6459 rainfall simulator to evaluate performance of various types of erosion control products used in construction. Rolled erosion control products (RECPs), hydraulic erosion ...

Abstract: This paper uses strong diagonal dominance theory to obtain a systematic solution to the MIMO-QFT problem by an n times solution of the SISO-QFT sensitivity constraint problem. This is analogous ...

Abstract: This paper uses almost decoupling theory to obtain a systematic solution to the MIMO-QFT problem by an n times solution of the SISO-QFT sensitivity constraint problem. This is similar to the ...

Abstract: Arch and elliptical pipes are commonly used as roadway culverts. The pipe section is composed of three radii, which result in complex equations to compute cross-sectional geometry and hydraulic parameters, such as normal ...
