The flowline assessment was undertaken to review the current Mississippi River and Tributaries (MR&T) flowline on which the project design levee elevations are based. The assessment was initiated in 2014 to address the issues outlined in the MR&T 2011 Post Flood Report. Evaluations were to not only consider the hydrology and hydraulic conditions of the system today but were to consider any other factors that would impact the flowline over the next 50 years. To assess the flowline, a seven-step process was utilized: (1) develop precipitation amounts; (2) calculate the amount of runoff; (3) calculate the amount of flow in the river from the runoff, both for regulated and unregulated conditions; (4) calculate a water surface profile/elevation with appropriate levees, structures, backwater areas, and floodways assumptions; (5) develop estimates for future degradation/aggradation of sedimentation at various locations, climate change, loop effect, sea level rise, and subsidence, all of which would affect the water surface profile; (6) analyze water surface profile estimates to identify areas of concern; and (7) perform District Quality Control Review, Agency Technical Review, and Independent External Peer Review on all of the above steps to ensure quality.

Recently radium, its emanations and the products of its decomposition or breaking-down have been coming more and more into consideration as therapeutic agents, not only in skin diseases and diseases with cutaneous manifestations, but also in various "internal diseases" of the most diversi¬ fied nature, especially carcinoma and the arthritides, and as this interest seems distinctly on the increase and there seems to be a real hope that in some, at least, of these diseases a cure may be obtained by this means, it would seem of interest to know the exact effect of certain salts or
Increased worldwide power demand, coupled with clean air requirements, has created a worldwide surge in single cycle and combined cycle Gas Turbine installations. These new Gas Turbines are often large megawatt facilities installed as base load units, which increases the need for component reliability. Today, high reliability in Expansion Joints can be achieved as a result of design criteria developed from new product components and in-service experience.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
