Purpose: to determine the impact of the conjugation construction of the apron section structure with the downstream on the water flow kinematics with the use of the performed field and laboratory studies data and their processing. The relevance of this issue lies in the fact that in case of unsatisfactory conjugation of the apron with the discharge canal slopes, negative phenomena are formed in it in the form of faulty currents, whirlpools at the canal slopes, etc., affecting the stability of the apron conjugation, creating a threat to the stability of the structure itself. Materials and Methods: the materials were the data of field studies carried out on a number of hydraulic structures of irrigation systems in Stavropol Territory, as well as on models in laboratory conditions with the identification of the impact of conjugation structures of the apron with the discharge canal slopes on the water flow distribution in tailrace. The measurement of velocities in natural conditions was carried out by observing the integrating floats movement in the discharge canals. On the model, the velocities were measured using a miniflowmeter, and the trajectories were traced using luminous floats. Results: graphs of the dependence of the sought factors on the known parameters were built on the basis of the information obtained, and using the methods of mathematical statistics, the coefficient of the conjugation of the apron structure with the canal slopes in tailrace was obtained. The result of the research was an empirical dependence for determining the flow velocity along its dynamic axis, which is the scientific novelty of the research performed. Conclusions: the type of conjugation of the apron of the structure with the distribution canal slopes has a great influence on the hydraulic flow regime on the apron and in the discharge canal. Each type of conjugation creates a sudden expansion of the flow on the apron, which affects the value of the average flow velocity along the dynamic axis, on which the deformation of the discharge canal depends.

AbstractIn this paper, a blast furnace gas flow distribution model with variable furnace structure was founded based on CFD (computational fluid dynamics) theory, and the gas velocity distribution near the surface of the copper staves in different areas of the BF is calculated under different conditions of variational structure parameters like Bosh angle, shaft angle, and the newly proposed “equivalent Bosh angle.” Based on the calculation, the influence rule of the BF structure on the service life of copper stave and the corresponding operation measures were obtained. The result shows that the increase of the Bosh angle and the decrease of the shaft angle will incur increasing of the gas flow velocity near the surface of the copper staves, which is harmful to the cooling stave life; the variation of the equivalent Bosh angle has a most significant influence on the cooling stave life, and the increase of the equivalent Bosh angle will cause a sharp increase of the gas flow velocity, which will damage the copper staves seriously; adopting long tuyeres and minishing the equivalent Bosh angle will reduce the washing action of the gas flow and ensure the stability of slag hanging to achieve a long service life of copper staves.

The impact that distance between thermal wires and nozzle on flow distribution of fluidic gyroscope with three different cavity structures was researched. Using the Finite element method we calculated the two-dimensional flow distribution of fluidic gyroscope with rectangular cavity and two streamlined cavity structures when the distance d between thermal wires and nozzle is different. The results show that: flow velocity at the outlet in two streamlined cavities is larger than that in rectangular cavity, which is 28.87% and 28.91% of flow velocity at the nozzle respectively; the velocity in the three cavities decrease with d, the velocity in streamlined cavity 1 is always larger than that in streamlined cavity 2. When d = 16mm and 17mm, there are a larger velocity and a smaller x-axial velocity of the fluidic beam center in streamlined cavity 1, and velocity difference of two thermal wires increase, so the resolution of fluidic gyroscope can have an improvement.

The usage of dikes embankments has a great influence on the development of hydraulic engineering. It increases the suitability of water resources for humanity needs. Different Geotechnical and hydraulics powers affect on the stability of dike construction through transition of water flow in the upstream slope. The development of erosion process inside dike construction occurred as a result of an overtopping water flow cross above the dike crest. The dike erosion initiates breach channel inside dike and later widened into upstream and downstream slopes. In this study, a 2D and 3D vertical and horizontal erosions test is constructed in Hydraulic Geotechnical laboratories at the Universiti Sains Malaysia to observe the evolution of the breach channel during spatial overtopping failure. Two constant dike slopes of (1V:3H) and (1V:2.5H) for both upstream and downstream slopes are used as a parametric test during overtopping tests. The vertical and horizontal distributions of water levels are also highlighted prior to overtopping failure. The results indicate that the vertical and horizontal erosion widen the dike breach for slope of 1V:2.5H faster than those for 1V:3H while the spread of water infiltration in horizontal and vertical levels are higher for latter slope than for previous one.

The multi-beam sounding system combines multi-beam bathymetry and integrated navigation technology, which can obtain underwater topography data quickly and accurately, it has become the most important way of marine investigation. Therefore, it is urgent for improving the accuracy of sounding system in the detection industry. During the study of multi-beam error processing, the installation error coefficient of transducer installation will be corrected, but all the time, the transducer mounting bracket is regarded would be corrected. However, the transducer mounting bracket has been regarded as a rigid body in the correction for a long time. In this paper, the transducer bracket is regarded as a non-rigid body, and the reversible elastic deformation of transducer bracket occurs due to the impact of water flow. With the change of ship speed and water flow velocity, the degree of elastic deformation is also time-varying. The elastic deformation of bracket leads to the deflection of transducer shafting, which can not be corrected when correcting the installation deviation, so that leading to the influence of this error in final sounding results. This paper aims at the fact of deformation of multi-beam bracket caused by the water flow velocity, ship speed etc., leading to the deflection of transducer relative to the deviation of inertial navigation system shafting and resulting in attitude deviation which affect accuracy of result is researched.

SummaryCase reports cited in Medline or Biological Abstracts (1966-1996) were reviewed to evaluate the impact of vitamin K1 dietary intake on the stability of anticoagulant control in patients using coumarin derivatives. Reported nutrient-drug interactions cannot always be explained by the vitamin K1 content of the food items. However, metabolic data indicate that a consistent dietary intake of vitamin K is important to attain a daily equilibrium in vitamin K status. We report a diet that provides a stable intake of vitamin K1, equivalent to the current U.S. Recommended Dietary Allowance, using food composition data derived from high-performance liquid chromatography. Inconsistencies in the published literature indicate that prospective clinical studies should be undertaken to clarify the putative dietary vitamin K1-coumarin interaction. The dietary guidelines reported here may be used in such studies.

The reliability of water flow measurement in irrigational canals depends on the measurement method and design features of the flow-measuring structure and the upstream flow velocity profile. The flow velocity profile is a function of the channel geometry and wall roughness. The article presents the study results of the influence of the upstream flow velocity profile on the discharge measurement accuracy. For this, the physical and numerical modeling of two structures was carried out: a critical depth flume and a hydrometric overfall in a rectangular channel. According to the data of numerical simulation of the critical depth flume with a uniform and parabolic (1/7) velocity profile in the upstream channel, the values of water discharge differ very little from the experimental values in the laboratory model with a similar geometry (δ < 2 %). In contrast to the critical depth flume, a change in the velocity profile only due to an increase in the height of the bottom roughness by 3 mm causes a decrease of the overfall discharge coefficient by 4…5 %. According to the results of the numerical and physical modeling, it was found that an increase of backwater by hydrometric structure reduces the influence of the upstream flow velocity profile and increases the reliability of water flow measurements.

Traditionally the products were pushed into the hands of customers by production and selling strategies; then the marketing strategy evolved which gained momentum by understanding the customer needs and developing products satisfying those needs. This strategy is most prevalent and what should be done to stand up in this most competitive scenario? The answer to this key question is to create an experience. The customers now also seek good experiences than other benefits. Brand experience has gained more attention, especially fashion brands. Previous studies demonstrate the role of the brand experience in brand equity and other consumer behavior constructs. But very little is known about the impact of brand experiences on fashion brands. The aim of this study is to develop a model which makes our understanding better about the role of Brand preference and Brand experience and its influence on purchase intention of the brand. An initial exploratory study is conducted using a focus group to generate items for the study. The items, thus generated are prepared in the form of a questionnaire and samples were collected.  Exploratory factor analysis is conducted and the reliability of the constructs is determined. These constructs are loaded onto AMOS to perform Confirmatory factor analysis. The results confirmed the scales used. We also noticed that Brand preference has a great influence on the Brand experience. Thereby the finding supports the role of the brand experience which tends to have a mediating role in influencing the purchase intention.

AbstractTerrestrial and aquatic ecosystems are increasingly threatened by pesticide pollution resulting from extensive use of pesticides, and due to the lack of regulatory measures in the developing world, there is a need for affordable means to lessen environmental effects. This study aimed to investigate the impact of biochar amendment on the toxicity of imidacloprid to life-cycle parameters and biomarker responses of the earthworm Eisenia fetida. E. fetida was exposed to 10% biochar-amended and non-amended OECD artificial soils spiked with 0, 0.75, 1.5, 2.25 and 3 mg imidacloprid/kg for 28 days. An LC50 of 2.7 mg/kg was only computed in the non-amended soil but not in the biochar-amended soil due to insignificant mortality. The EC50 calculated in the non-amended soil (0.92 mg/kg) for reproduction (fertility) was lower than the one computed in the biochar amended (0.98 mg/kg), indicating a decrease in toxicity in the biochar-amended substrate. Significant weight loss was observed at the two highest imidacloprid treatments in the non-amended soil and only at the highest treatment in the biochar-amended substrate, further highlighting the beneficial effects of biochar. Catalase activity decreased significantly at the two highest concentrations of non-amended soil. Yet, in the amended soil, the activity remained high, especially in the highest concentration, where it was significantly higher than the controls. This indicated more severe oxidative stress in the absence of biochar. In all non-amended treatments, there was a significant acetylcholinesterase inhibition, while lower inhibition percentages were observed in the biochar-amended soil. In most endpoints, the addition of biochar alleviated the toxic effects of imidacloprid, which shows that biochar has the potential to be useful in soil remediation. However, there is still a need for field studies to identify the most effective application rate of biochar for land application.
