An experimental investigation into the interaction that occurs between an impacting water droplet and a granular bed of loose graded sand has been carried out. High-speed imaging, three-dimensional time-resolved particle tracking, photogrammetric surface profiling have used to examine individual impact events. The focus study is quantification trajectory analysis particles ejected from bed, along with measurement change in morphology. results experiments detailed two distinct mechanisms...

Presented here is a new bench-top research device for the measurement of optical turbidity natural sediment-laden water samples. This prototype employs 18 unique angular positions and variety user-selectable LED light sources. The motivation this project was need to generate more parameter-rich data sets pertaining light-scattering properties sediment suspensions, address issues raised by Kitchener et al. (2017) concerning inconsistent calibration methodologies currently employed quantify...

There are currently no process‐based approaches that allow detailed spatial information on soil redistribution hillslopes to be modeled at scales appropriate for studying slope processes. In response, we developed a new type of soil‐erosion model, marker‐in‐cell which simulates the during rainfall events. The model is hybrid cell‐ and particle‐based techniques. A cell‐based used determine hydrology hydraulics occurring cellular scale hillslope. Markers, representing sediment, then moved...

The Astropy Project (http://astropy.org) is, in its own words, "a community effort to develop a single core package for Astronomy Python and foster interoperability between astronomy packages." For five years this project has been managed, written, operated as grassroots, self-organized, almost entirely volunteer while the software is used by majority of astronomical community. Despite this, always remains day effectively unfunded. Further, contributors receive little or no formal...

The current damage parameter, /spl alpha/ and the acceptor factor, beta/, of silicon detectors are extracted from an analysis evolution detector dark during irradiation. irradiations were carried out in CERN PS 23GeV proton beam up to a fluence (3.00 plusmn/ 0.03)/spl times/10/sup 14/ pcm/sup -2/ at PSI with pions energy 191 MeV (4.5 0.5)/spl pi/cm/sup -2/. In this paper we describe irradiation setup present that is used extract factors. values normalized 20/spl deg/C pion are: alpha//sub...
