The ciliary currents associated with feeding, digestion, and sediment removal in Adula (botula) falcata Gould 1851 (bivalvia, mytilidae)
… it must function within a burrow into which sediment material is being continuously deposited from both particle laden water passing over its burrow entrance and the mudstone byproducts of its own mechanical boring. The following is a comparative study on the ciliary mechanisms of feeding, …

Evaluation of check dams for sediment control on disturbed land surfaces
An erosion and sedimentation study was conducted and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to evaluate the suitability of using check dams as an erosion control practice on military bases. Military readiness and effectiveness is enhanced by constant training and use of their lands; this …

Monitoring and modelling hydrological response and sediment yield in a North York Moors catchment : an assessment of predictive uncertainty in a coupled hydrological-sediment yield model
A fully distributed coupled hydrological-sediment yield model was developed. An assessment was made of the predictive uncertainty in the individual model predictions, as well as the uncertainty propagated from the primary hydrological model to the secondary sediment yield model, using the …

The Environmental Sensitivity of Cold-water Corals Lophelia pertusa
… In addition, live corals were exposed to 4-h sedimentation events of increasing rates and polyp behaviour analysed. Sediment removal mechanisms were also examined. Finally, skeletal characteristics and trace<br/>metal concentrations were measured in skeletons sampled from platform sites …

Vertical Transport of Sediment from Muddy Buoyant River Plumes in the Presence of Different Modes of Interfacial Instabilities
This study focuses on deposition processes from sediment laden buoyant river plumes in deltaic regions. The goal is to experimentally examine the effects of various physical phenomena influencing the rate at which sediment is removed from the plume. Previous laboratory and field measurements have …

River - Riparian Vegetation Interactions
… water level fluctuations and to the erosion/sedimentation processes. Floods and erosion/ sedimentation processes, in fact, influence the growth of plants to a great extent. Flood events are able to destroy the vegetation because they can cause physical damage, uprooting and sediment removal, …

The performance of SUDS ponds in Eastern Scotland
… total containment of runoff events. Results from sediment data suggest that a SUDS pond’s required sediment removal cycle is strongly depending on its flow regime. Runoff quality data highlighted that the largest amounts of pollutants were generated in the residential housing catchment. The …

Potential Effects of Forestry Best Management Practices and Implementation Rates on Soil and Water Resources in the Southeastern United States
… quality from nonpoint source pollutants (NPSP). Sediment is the most common NPSP associated with forest operations, and BMPs are implemented primarily to reduce erosion and potential sediment delivery to streams. Skid trails, stream crossings, forest roads, decks, and harvest areas are major …

Tectonic and climatic control on the evolution of the Himalayan mountain front
… of mass within an orogen may lead to transient sediment storage, which in turn might affect the state of stress and the level of fault activity. Distinguishing between different forcing mechanisms causing variations of sediment flux and tectonic activity, is therefore one of the most challenging …
