Estimation of Reshaped Profile in Berm Breakwaters Using Experimental Data

The results from Calculations 1 and 2 can be utilized in Eq. 3 to determine the final percent yield for the experiment, and this is shown in Calculation 3.

The results shows us that the hypothesis between the river Loughton brook and the erosion shows that it gets wider and deeper due to many reasons such as vertical erosion, lateral erosion, hydraulic action and abrasion of rocks.

Erosion is a process where natural forces like water, wind, ice, and gravity wear away rocks and soil. Erosion occurs at the Earth’s surface, and has no effect on the Earth’s mantle and core. Water erosion is the removal of soil particles by heavy rainfall or running water. “While the causes of erosion by water are generally natural, water erosion is usually caused by rainfall and runoff on a slope” (GEI Works Erosion Pollution). “The process of water erosion usually occurs on stream and river banks, sea shores and seaside cliffs” (Reference.com).

Brighton, Glenelg, The West Beach Boat Ramp, Semaphore and Largs North Beach have all been influenced by hard engineering techniques. As an example, Glenelg was one of the few beaches that had some form of a breakwater along the coast. Breakwaters are notorious for having immediate impacts on the beach, but are ultimately useful in protecting the land that meets the beach. The real question is; “Do the benefits, outweigh the negatives?”. Breakwaters are

This investigation will be exploring whether the movement of pebbles, shingle, shells and other materials found on the beach have impacted on the shape and structure of Newhaven beach and Castlehead Cliff. One of the key processes this investigation will focus on is that of long shore drift caused by strong prevailing winds, prevailing wind is the direction from which the wind usually blows. Cliffs are made from mainly two materials, chalk which is at the bottom and sand and clay at the top. If cliffs are facing the direction of prevailing wind it may lead in high rates of cliff

The slope of the linear fit of the data is 1.0049. What this tells me about the water is that it is increasing at a close to constant rate – while my results were not completely accurate because the slope of the line was not one it was fairly close to the target

Wave cut platforms are another feature of an erosional coastline. Along coastlines with cliff edges that sit about the shore these features are apparent they look like gently sloping areas of landnear the shore just above sea level. (Chambers, 2007) These benches and marine terraces are the product of wave action eroding the rock at the base of the cliff until the cliff cannot support itself on its new foundation and crumbles into the sea. Over time the collapsed land will have much of the smaller debris eroded away and much of the remaining rock or earth will be somewhat smoothed over to create a gentle slope to the water. (Chambers, 2007)

For the remaining parameters, we needed a tree that would not lose its readability and still provide good results; therefore, we chose a maximum depth of 7, since increasing it did not improve the results significantly, and would have made it more difficult to extract the rules and observe the results. Regarding the maximum number of bins, the default value is 32. As our variables were all continuous we could choose a lower number of bins and the one that yielded best results was

No leaf node should be more than +/-1 level from any other leaf node. Note: Do not just

The right branch has records 1,3,8,9,10. Now we split the right child which has records 1,3,8,9,10. Candidate Split Left Child Node, tL Right Child Node, tR

"Selective cutting" is the practice by which trees are cut down according to certain ascertainable features. If a tree were so old and large that

18) In a maximal flow problem, each node in the network is associated with a decision variable.

Using a statistical model they created (See Appendix), Entine and Small ended up with the following results:

In this assignment, I have made a summary the critique of Pyszczynsiki, et al. (2000) at first and also a brief introduction of what will be discussed in the following article. Also I have talked about assumptions in the article of Pyszczynsiki, et al. (2000) and why these examples do not make sense to SDT.What’s more, to make the article clearer, I have changed the orders of a few paragraphs. As a result, the order the paragraph does not correspond to the critique of Pyszczynsiki, et al. (2000), but in a way which can make readers have a better understanding of SDT and the differences between SDT and TMT.

Displacement Discontinuity models represent the elastic response of rocks with oriented fractures under low frequency (e.g. Schoenberg and Douma, 1988; Sayers and Kachanov, 1995; Schoenberg and Sayers 1995). These models assume fractures to be infinitesimally thin displacement breaks which are defined by their normal and shear compliances. This represents the additional compliance of the rock in comparison to the matrix, due to the presence of fractures. Their usage necessitates the knowledge of fracture compliances and over-simplifies the complex nature of fractures as mere planes of discontinuity.
