Assessing the backwater rise of floating barriers with racks for various blockages in open channels by Mahmoud Zayed, Mahmoud Saleh

“…One hundred experiments were conducted to study the hydraulic performance of such floating barriers in open channels, regarding the effects of discharges, flow depths, and blockage rack ratios which was defined as the rack blocked area relative to the projected area of the rack. The findings show that backwater rise (Δh) increased through the rack with increasing Froude numbers and rack blockage ratio. …”

Method for Increasing of Lens Gluing Technological Process Efficiency and a Reliable Evaluation of Output Controlled Parameters by R. V. Fiodоrtsev, E. A. Metelskaya, V. A. Marchik, A. V. Kuznetsov, A. E. Makarevich

“…Using software methods an electronic grid template is formed on the monitor screen, onto which images of autocollimation points are projected. The decentering value 2Δe is determined and a corrective control voltage is applied to three stepper motors and pushers for transverse movement of the glued optical part.Specialized software has been developed for automatically bringing the position of the autocollimating crosshair to the center of the measuring scale of the grid based on a combination of two methods of “least squares” and “successive approximation”. …”

Cause and consequences of Common Snook (Centropomus undecimalis) space use specialization in a subtropical riverscape by Rolando O. Santos, Mack White, W. Ryan James, Natasha M. Viadero, Jordan A. Massie, Ross E. Boucek, Jennifer S. Rehage

“…Abstract Variability in space use among conspecifics can emerge from foraging strategies that track available resources, especially in riverscapes that promote high synchrony between prey pulses and consumers. Projected changes in riverscape hydrological regimes due to water management and climate change accentuate the need to understand the natural variability in animal space use and its implications for population dynamics and ecosystem function. …”
