WAVE RUN-UP ON SANDBAG SLOPES

Wave run-up on sandbag slopes

On occasions, sandbag revetments are temporarily applied to armour sandy beaches from erosion.Nevertheless, an empirical formula to determine the wave run -up height on sandbag slopes has not been available heretofore.In this study a wave run-up formula which considers the roughness of Green Foods slope surfaces is proposed for the case of sandbag

New specimen of Cacops woehri indicates differences in the ontogenetic trajectories among cacopine dissorophids

The Lower Permian Dolese locality has produced numerous exquisitely preserved tetrapod fossils representing members of a lower Permian upland fauna.Therein, at least nine taxa of the clade Dissorophoidea, ranging in size from the large predaceous trematopid Acheloma to the miniaturized amphibamid Doleserpeton, highlight the great taxic and ecologic

Does usage of monetary incentive impact the involvement in surveys? A systematic review and meta-analysis of 46 randomized controlled trials.

BackgroundSurveys are an effective method for collecting a large quantity of data.However, incomplete responses to these surveys can affect the validity of the studies and introduce bias.Recent studies have suggested that monetary incentives may increase survey response rates.We intended to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomize
