This study aims to find the most sustainable mature Low-Head (LH) hydropower technology option to generate hydroelectricity at the outlet of wastewater treatment plants by assessing the relevant economic, technical, and ...

The present study aimed to search for chicken abdominal fat deposition-related polymorphisms within RB1 and to provide functional evidence for significantly associated genetic variants. Association analyses showed that 11 ...

This study quantifies the dimensionless maximum scour depth d(s)/D-50 downstream of flip buckets as a function of the square of the densimetric Froude number Fr-d(2), jet Reynolds number Re, lip angle, and sediment ...

A multi-criteria scoring tool is used to assess the environmental risk level of small hydropower plants on the basis of documented evidence, measured data, and on-site observations. The assessment is based on evaluating ...

This paper enables a screening of existing irrigation dams in order to assess and rank potential sites for small hydropower development by using a Geographic Information System (GIS)-fuzzy logic multi-criteria scoring ...

The flow an d turbulence characteristics of a new baffle-brush type fish pass were investigated experimentally in a 2 m wide rectangular flume with a bed slope of 4% and Reynolds and Froude numbers in the range 5 x 10(4)-2.8 ...

The flow characteristics (depth, velocity, energy dissipation) of a new baffle-brush fish pass were investigated experimentally in a 2 m wide rectangular flume which has a bed slope of 4% for discharges of 100-550 l/s. In ...

In this paper, a fuzzy rating tool was developed for river-type hydropower plant projects, and risk assessment and expert judgments were utilized instead of probabilistic reasoning. The methodology is a multi-criteria ...
