Planimetric and Volumetric Analysis of Channel Change In the Post-Hydraulic Mining Period (1906-2009) In the Central Valley, California
… Measuring planimetric and volumetric change in fluvial sediment budgets and geomorphic change detection was used for long-term monitoring of a fluvial system. Channel and floodplain changes caused by hydraulic gold mining sediment in this system are a major example of anthropogenic …

Green IPTV : a resource and energy efficient network for IPTV
… the major concerns of IPTV network deployment : channel change delay. This is the latency experienced by users when switching between TV channels. Synchronisation and buffering of video streams can cause channel change delays of several seconds. I perform an empirical analysis of a particular …

Form and function: quantifying geomorphic heterogeneity and drivers in dryland non-perennial river corridors
… and the majority of extant studies focus on in-channel dynamics. Floodplains along perennial streams are known to host a high density of ecosystem functions, including the attenuation of downstream fluxes and provision of habitat to diverse flora and fauna. These functions are thought to be …

Medium-term response of lowland river reaches to changes in upland land use.
… in the UK has been the largest rural land use change this century. As a consequence of afforestation the bed load yields of upland catchments have been shown to increase substantially. The upland catchment bed load is transported downstream, through the transfer zone to the lowland reaches …

Legal Perspectives on Channel Migration of Wandering Gravel-Bed Rivers in Southern Alberta
… reveals that it accommodates all types of river channel change, including episodic movement, and that it is the overall progress of the change rather than the moment to moment process that should be considered when addressing whether an event is accretionary or avulsive. A behavioural model …

Evaluating Geomorphic Change in Little Creek Using Repeated Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal Profile Surveys
… of this study was to monitor water quality and channel conditions before, during, and after a selective harvest of redwood. A selective harvest occurred in the North Fork of Little Creek in Summer 2008. In August 2009, approximately 90% of the Little Creek Watershed was burned in the Lockheed …

Urban Channel Erosion Quantification in Upland Coastal Zone Streams of Virginia, USA
To quantify sediment contributions due to urban channel enlargement, 50 study sites were selected on 1st- through 3rd-order streams, in watersheds with varying levels of urbanization, in two Physiographic Regions (Coastal Plain and Piedmont), and in the Coastal Zone Management Area of Virginia. At …

Channel Migration and Bank Erosion of the Clark Fork River at Grant-Kohrs Ranch N.H.S., Western Montana
… ecosystems This study examined the geomorphic changes within the river system that have occurred in a 4-km long stretch of the Clark Fork River near Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site. Aerial photographs of the reach from 2001, 2004 and 2007 were analyzed using ArcGIS 9.2. Areas of …

Understanding gully process in two Kansas landscapes
Gullies often form as a result of land use changes and associated factors such as soil compaction, vegetation removal and changes in rainwater infiltration. Gully erosion creates human safety hazards, soil loss, and sediment and nutrient pollution downstream. Across the globe, researchers have …

Stream channel adjustments and persistence of change in response to beaver damming on a fluvial fan, Odell Creek, Montana
… is thought to increase bed elevation through in-channel sediment storage, thus beaver reintroductions are used as a river restoration tool to repair incised stream channels. However, effects of beaver damming are dependent on specific stream hydrologic and geomorphic characteristics. Data on dam …

The fluvial dynamics of compound meander bends
… turbulence, bed morphology, bank failures and channel migration in compound loops is poorly understood. In particular, field studies of this interaction over the timescale of planform evolution are lacking. The research presented here examines the co-evolution of flow, bed morphology, and …

Advances in Microfluidics: A Lab-on-a-Disk Approach to Solve Dairy Industry Problems
… in the microfluidic disks. Rapid, simple microchannel prototyping is critical for the development of modern microfluidic devices and platforms. Laser cutting (ablation) using a commercially available continuous wave (CW) CO2 laser followed by thermal bonding is one of the most common approaches …
