CALCULATION OF TECHNOLOGICAL PARAMETERS OF OUT-PIPE REAGENT CIRCULAR IRRIGATION OF GRAVEL-PACKED FILTERS OF WATER SUPPLY WELLS by V. V. Ivashechkin, V. V. Veremenyuk, P. A. Avtushko

“…Near-filtering zone is given uniform and movement is quasi-steady-state.Equations’ system is composed including: joint equation of movement and mass conservation and generalized equation of kinetics, which describes kinetics of colmatant dissolution in the regime of out-pipe watering of ring gravel pack of well taking into account the change of structure of porous medium. The analytic solution of equations’ system was obtained, which allow to calculate salt content in reagent during the leaching process and to determine the specific volume of deposits in the point of gravel pack at any moment of time in the process of regent injection. …”

The interplay of trophic interactions and game dynamics gives rise to life-history trade-offs, consistent personalities, and predator–prey and aggression power laws by Mohammad Salahshour

“…Here, we introduce an eco-evolutionary model of trophic interactions between predators and prey and show that the flow of resources in the ecosystem results in the scale-invariant spatial and temporal structure of ecosystems. In contrast to conventional approaches that rely on fitness-based selection, evolution in our eco-evolutionary framework is a direct consequence of ecological interactions. …”
