Abstract This study conducted an extensive soil investigation in the Sibalaya liquefaction area to identify the Gumbasa main canal’s damage triggered by flow liquefaction. Several field tests and trenches with approximately 4 m were excavated to observe liquefied soil layers directly near the canal. A borehole, standard penetration test, and multichannel analysis surface waves (MASW) were performed beside the trench to obtain each layer’s penetration resistance. This research aims to understand the landslide’s whole aspect. The ground movements were analyzed by using satellite photos before and after the earthquake. The displacement of the main canal, the typical damage inventory, and the proposed reconstruction of the main canal are the focus of this study. As a result of the forensic investigation, the liquefied layers and debris flow contributing to the massive landslide were identified to impact the primary canal. The typical damage of the canal was due to surface rupture that occurred both horizontally and vertically. A solution for reconstructing the main canal is to use a flexible pipe canal structure. That will be resilient to future earthquake and ground movements, stabilize the ground downslope of the existing canal to limit the risk of future lateral movement in future earth tremors.

Sediment is transported along the river flow and deposited in the mouth of the intake structure over time and reducing the water intake capacity. Nowadays, many water intake structures lose their function and are closed to operation. To deal with this problem, recently, submerged vane application has offered a practical and economical solution. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of three vane installations under sediment feeding conditions by comparing the bed topography before and after vanes were installed. For that purpose, experiments were carried out in a laboratory channel running for 90-degree intake angle. Three vanes were installed in one column at near the intake entrance. The vanes dimensions were equal to; 3cm height, 12cm long, 10 mm thick, and aligned with α = 20° angle to flow direction. The tests were run until equilibrium was reached, i.e. when the outgoing solid discharge was equal or larger than 90% of the incoming. Once the bed topography remained stable, bed and water level surfaces were measured. tests were carried out by feeding sediment from upstream of the main channel.

A hydrodynamic model of Shijiu port and its adjacent sea area was built to discuss the effect of western the fourth phase project on the flow condition for Shijiu port area. The results show that with the sheltering effect of breakwaters, flow velocity values are small inside the breakwaters. The water area near the project is affected more by the project construction. The flow velocities there are faster after the project construction than before it. In the main channel, flow velocities outside the breakwaters almost have no difference before and after the project. The project construction doesn’t have significant effect on it.

Extreme events (typhoons, floods, and mudflows) can influence the abundance and community structure of aquatic organisms. In this study, we compare freshwater decapod abundance and community structure in main channel and tributary sites in a subtropical area of Taiwan before and after the typhoon Tembin. The results indicate that the physical conditions, decapod abundance and the Shannon diversity index were significantly different between the main channel and tributary sites, but were not significantly affected by the typhoon. The decapod community structure also showed significant differences spatially, but not temporally. The results of this study suggest that decapod communities are highly resilient to the acute effects of typhoons.

Irrigation is an effort to provide and regulate water for agricultural land. The main objective of this study is to plan the rehabilitation of the main channel of Cibinuangeun irrigation area, Lebak Regency, Banten Province. The main channel serves to carry water from the main network to the secondary channel and tertiary plot. The material can be made of masonry, concrete or masonry and concrete. The Cibinuangeun main channel relies on a water source from the Cibinuangeun river through the Cibinuangeun weir building. The Cibinuangeun Irrigation Area has a functional area 2570 ha. The condition of the Cibinuangeun main canal currently has a lot of damage, which results in water drainage being not optimal so it is necessary to plan for rehabilitation by directly examining the condition of the canals at the location to determine the volume of damage and calculate the cost of rehabilitation on the channel. The research method used is the Irrigation Planning Criteria issued by the Ministry of Public Works, Directorate General of Water Resources as the basis for standard irrigation planning. The results showed that the trapezoidal trunk channel and the current available flow rate were not in accordance with the initial planning of the Cibinuangeun main channel construction, due to sedimentation and damage to the walls and floor of the leaking channel. The level of damage to the main line reached 47,37% of a total trunk length of 950 meters. The planned cost required for the rehabilitation of the Cibinuangeun main channel is four hundred seventy million four hundred thousand rupiah.

This study evaluated the effectiveness of NiTi ultrasonic tips for Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) biofilm removal in simulated complex root canals. Sixty root canal models consisting of a 30-degree curved main canal and two lateral canals were constructed from polydimethylsiloxane and incubated with E. faecalis. Irrigants in root canals were activated using a manual syringe (SI), a stainless steel (SS) instrument, a nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) ultrasonic instrument, or a sonic instrument (EA). Instruments of SI, SS, and NiTi-9 groups were placed 9 mm from the apex, whereas those in NiTi-2 and EA groups were placed 2 mm from the apex. The efficacy of each method was determined as the ratio of fluorescence concentration before and after activation. In the apical curved canal, the highest efficacy was found in the NiTi-2 group (99.40%), followed by SI (84.25%), EA (80.38%), SS (76.93%), and NiTi-9 (67.29%) groups. In lateral canals 1 and 2, the efficacy was the highest in the NiTi-2 group and the lowest in the SI group. The NiTi ultrasonic instrument could effectively remove biofilms in the curved canal and lateral canals. This instrument should be introduced close to the working length. An up-and-down motion of the activation instrument is recommended.

Tool materials used in ultramicrotomy are glass, developed by Latta and Hartmann (1) and diamond, introduced by Fernandez-Moran (2). While diamonds produce more good sections per knife edge than glass, they are expensive; require careful mounting and handling; and are time consuming to clean before and after usage, purchase from vendors (3-6 months waiting time), and regrind. Glass offers an easily accessible, inexpensive material ($0.04 per knife) with very high compressive strength (3) that can be employed in microtomy of metals (4) as well as biological materials. When the orthogonal machining process is being studied, glass offers additional advantages. Sections of metal or plastic can be dried down on the rake face, coated with Au-Pd, and examined directly in the SEM with no additional handling (5). Figure 1 shows aluminum chips microtomed with a 75° glass knife at a cutting speed of 1 mm/sec with a depth of cut of 1000 Å lying on the rake face of the knife.

Phosgene still plays an important role as a toxic substance in the chemical industry. Thiess (1968) recently reported observations on numerous cases of phosgene poisoning. A serious difficulty in the clinical handling of phosgene poisoning cases is a relatively long latent period, up to 12 hours, with no obvious signs of severity. At about 12 hours heavy lung edema appears suddenly, however changes can be seen in routine X-rays taken after only a few hours' exposure (Diller et al., 1969). This study was undertaken to correlate these early changes seen by the roengenologist with morphological alterations in the lungs seen in the'light and electron microscopes.Forty-two adult male and female Beagle dogs were selected for these exposure experiments. Treated animals were exposed to 94.5-107-5 ppm phosgene for 10 min. in a 15 m3 chamber. Roentgenograms were made of the thorax of each animal before and after exposure, up to 24 hrs.
