Mixed siliciclastic-carbonate-evaporite sedimentation in an arid eolian landscape: The Khor Al Adaid tide-dominated coastal embayment, Qatar by John M., Rivers

“…Associated flow expansion into less confined areas results in deposition of the eolian-derived sands as flood-tidal deltas, one in the Outer, and two in the Inner Lagoon. A weakly-developed ebb-tidal delta occurs where the Entrance Channel debouches into the Arabian Gulf. …”

Estimation of Mechanical Properties of Copper Powder Filled Linear Low-Density Polyethylene Composites by Singh, S.

“…The input parameters manipulated for the prediction were elongation at break (δ), stress at break (ρ), Young’s modulus (Y), volume fraction of the filler (ϕ) and constants (KE1,KE2,KS1,KS2,KS3,KS4,KY1). Copper powder filled LLDPE has a complex structure which makes it difficult to accurately predict the mechanical properties. …”
