Abstract:

Port Sudan is the main port and largest commercial centre of the Sudan located in semi-arid region. Population estimate in 2010 was about 926,000 inhabitants and the water demand estimated was about 120000-150000 m3/day. Water production from Khor Arbaat is 60,000 m3/day in good years; however, it may go down to 30,000 m3/day in bad years. In general, the overall situation of the city is characterized by regular shortages. There are three dams (U/G Dam1, SPC Dam2, FR Dam3) structured on Khor Arbaat for water harvesting (2005,2000,1992), siltation represents the greatest problem to these Dams,

Abstract. Sand dams, a popular water harvesting structure employed by rural communities, capture and store water for use during the dry season in arid and semi-arid regions. Most sand dam research has been performed on the “ideal” sand dam, despite approximately 50 % of sand dams not functioning as intended. This research involves a 1-year long, in-depth field study of three sand dams in Tanzania, one of which is essentially non-functioning. The study investigated a sand dam's impact on macroinvertebrate habitat, vegetation, and streambank erosion and explored a sand dam's water loss mechanism

Abstract:

The main objective of the present study is to determine the risk class of Haditha and Hemrin Dams The weighting points for various risk factors of the selected dams were substituted in Eq. (5) to find the TRF of each dam. For the studied dams, the data related to various risk factors was collected from the State Commission of Dams and Reservoirs (SCODR), Iraq. The studied dams are outside the seismic zone, and flood is considered the main hazard that makes the dams vulnerable to overtopping. Three scenarios that considered different water levels in Haditha and Hemerin Dams reservoirs were anal

Abstract:

The article provides a mathematical model, approach, and technique for figuring out an earth dam's dynamic properties in a spatial statement while taking the structure's design elements and hydrostatic water pressure into account. Spatial eigenfrequencies are determined and modes of vibration of three earth dams of different heights are constructed. As a result of calculations, it was discovered that a high dam's frequencies fall between a relatively low-frequency region of mutually influencing frequencies close to each other; as the height of the dam decreases, the values of the corresponding

Abstract: In temperate regions, building small dams and hillside reservoirs is a popular solution to irregular and unevenly distributed rainfalls. Furthermore, it is advised that rural communities use these tiny hydraulic structures as a means of adapting to climate change. They are essential to the water resources' survival. These dams could, however, act as sinks for material from upstream. In order to better understand siltation and the proper operation of these essential structures, it would be helpful to monitor and measure the amount of sediments in minor dams.

Since ancient times, dams have been built to store water, control rivers, and irrigate agricultural land to meet human needs. By the end of the 19th century, hydroelectric power stations arose and extended the purposes of dams. Today, dams can be seen as part of the renewable energy supply infrastructure. The word dam comes from French and is defined in dictionaries using words like strange, dike, and obstacle. In other words, a dam is a structure that stores water and directs it to the desired location, with a dam being built in front of river valleys. Dams built on rivers serve various purpo

Abstract:

A better understanding of the dynamic behaviour of dams requires strong-motion instrumentations. In particular, it is necessary to observe the free-field motions at the dam sites and the effective motions along the abutments, and to determine the dynamic properties of dams and their response to severe earthquakes. Instrumentation schemes are developed for arch dams, gravity dams and embankment dams, considering specific observational needs and objectives. The technical specifications to be satisfied by the accelerographs and the arrays are developed. Four arrays, which have been installed in S

Abstract:

The environment experienced by pups during lactation (nutrition and maternal behaviour) can contribute not only to sexual development, but also to individual differences in offspring sexual behaviour. We tested the hypothesis that female offspring of meadow vole dams (Microtus pennsylvanicus) that were 30% food restricted (FR) during days 1–7 of lactation (FR 1–7), days 8–14 of lactation (FR 8–14), or days 15–21 of lactation (FR 15–21) show negative effects on their food intake, growth, and the three components of sexual behaviour (attractivity, proceptivity and receptivity) as compared with f

Abstract:

Turkey is a very rich country in terms of water resources. However, in order to use these resources efficiently, water must be stored safely. In this context, the best form of storage is the construction of dams. In our country, large dams, which are among the world&apos;s important dams, are being built. Although there are many advantages of large dams, the loss of life and property will be so great in case of a possible deformation or destruction. The fact that dams are under the influence of various forces, as well as being located in the earthquake zone of our country, necessitates con

Abstract:

Check dams are a typical structural approach used in watershed disaster management systems. Currently, approximately 12,000 check dams have been estimated to be constructed on mountain streams in Korea. More than 90% of these have been constructed in the last 20 years. This rapid increase over a short period of time has attracted attention to the necessity of maintenance strategies for check dams. The purpose of this study is to examine the applicability of the exterior condition assessment to evaluate the degree of deterioration in check dams. We classify the typical damage types of check dam

Abstract:

Abstract Background: β-glucosylceramides (βGlcCers) are elevated in allergic mouse dams and are necessary and sufficient to induce allergy predisposition in offspring. βGlcCers increase dendritic cell (DC) numbers in the fetal liver and pup lungs. We hypothesize that these lung DCs predispose offspring to allergic lung responses. We also hypothesize that βGlcCers induce elevated pro-allergy IRF4+ DC numbers during fetal hematopoiesis. Methods: Pregnant mice were injected with a mixture of βGlcCers known to predispose offspring to allergic asthma. DCs were assayed by flow cytometry. In another

Abstract:

When pseudostatic method is employed to analyze slope seismic stability of high earth- rock dams, earthquake load is computed according to dynamic seismic coefficient figure in the present Specifications for Seismic Design of Hydraulic Structures (DL5073-1997). The figure is only suitable for earth-rock dams lower than 150m. While at the present time, many earth-rock dams to be constructed are higher than 150m. Compared with low dams, high order self-vibrating period of high dams is easy to coincide with seismic predominant period, and high order vibrations are constantly to be activated and a
