Assessing the impact of velocity dip and wake coefficients on velocity prediction for open channel flows (2019)
Journal Article
Alawadi, W., Prasad, T., & Al-Salih, O. (2019). Assessing the impact of velocity dip and wake coefficients on velocity prediction for open channel flows. Research journal of applied sciences, engineering and technology (Online), 16(1), 9-14. https://doi.org/10.19026/rjaset.16.5993

The aim of the present study is to assess the impact of the velocity-dip and wake strength on the velocity prediction using the dip modified laws. The dip modified laws, particularly the dip modified log wake law (DMLW-law), are preferred over the tr...

Age and growth in a European flagship amphibian : equal performance at agricultural ponds and favourably managed aquatic sites (2019)
Journal Article
aquatic sites. Aquatic Ecology, 53(1), 37-48. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10452-018-09671-3

In human-modified landscapes, little is known about the influence of aquatic habitat types on the demographic structure of residing amphibian populations. In the present paper, we focus on a European flagship urodele species (the great crested newt T...

Thermal influence in the performance of static and dynamic hot mix asphalt pothole repairs (2019)
Presentation / Conference
Byzyka, J., Rahman, M., & Chamberlain, D. A. (2019, January). Thermal influence in the performance of static and dynamic hot mix asphalt pothole repairs. Presented at 2019 Transportation Research Board Annual Meeting, Washington, D.C

The advantage of controlled preheating of excavated asphalt surface prior to hot mix asphalt patch repair, referred as “dynamic repair”, is presented in this paper. The heating effects are compared against traditional hot mix repair, referred as “sta... Read More about Thermal influence in the performance of static and dynamic hot mix asphalt pothole repairs.
