Modeling the hydraulic roughness of a movable flatbed in a sand channel while considering the effects of water temperature by Junzheng Liu, Jinliang Zhang, Zhe Huang, Haijue Xu, Yuchuan Bai, Gang Wang

“…The error metric showed that the new predictor provided the highest accuracy, with ∼88.5% of the 826 data points falling within the ±30% error band. The new predictor suggested that the additional drag is nonlinearly proportional to the grain drag, and the scale factor between these two parameters is related to five flow‒sediment variables. …”

Stability Analysis of Accumulative Formation Slope Reinforced by Inclined Micropile Group by WANG Xiaozhe, LIU Linlin

“…When φ> 90°, the inclined micropile group has asignificantly better supporting effect than the vertical micropile group; ⑤Inclined micropilegroup do not change the depth of the potential sliding surface of the accumulative formation slope,but affects its distribution along the slip zone; ⑥Uniform load is applied to the top of the slope, and the peak bending moment and peak shear force of each row of piles appear at thediscontinuous surface, and the relationship is basically as follows: back row piles> middle rowpiles> front row piles; ⑦In the optimal support scheme, the inclined micropile group cooperateswith the soil in front of the pile to form a “combined foundation” to jointly bear the thrust ofthe soil and landslide behind the pile, and the supporting effect is significantly improvedcompared with the vertical micropile group, the body stress is significantly reduced.…”

Enhanced quantitative precipitation estimation through the opportunistic use of Ku TV-SAT links via a dual-channel procedure by L. Gelbart, L. Barthès, F. Mercier-Tigrine, A. Chazottes, C. Mallet

“…In this paper, we detail a theoretical framework allowing us to estimate rainfall from the measurements of a low-cost sensor operating simultaneously over two parts of the Ku frequency band. This framework is assessed in a densely instrumented area in the south of France, where very good results are obtained when compared to rain gauge measurements, in terms of both overall rain accumulation and rainfall rate distribution. …”
