Abstract: Irrigation districts are challenging places to achieve efficient water use when the ultimate water users do not individually own the units of water they use. The consequence is that irrigators have difficulty seeing value ...

Abstract: In this paper, the kinematic forces which may be applied to bridge piers or pile caps from laterally spreading surficial cohesive soil layers (nonliquefied crusts) through which they pass are considered. Such forces often ...

Abstract: The loss mechanism under consideration in this study is that fraction of turbomachinery blade profile loss 1 due to viscous dissipation and turbulent phenomena in the blade boundary layer. In ...

Abstract: In an era when subsidized water development is not available to municipalities, development costs are fully borne by the rate‐paying clientele. Proposed water projects therefore impact consumers both through increased rates ...

Abstract: A method is described for fiducial point identification that can be tuned to specific data types using training set data having manually marked fiducial points. The role of the “expert” in ...

Abstract: Fouling remains a critical barrier for the continued development of forward-osmosis (FO) membrane bioreactor technology (MBR). Thermal osmotic backwashing at 23°C, 60°C, and 80°C, coupled air scouring, and the impact of ...
