Perzlmaier et al. (2007) presented an overview of empirically-derived critical hydraulic gradients for initiation of backward erosion in a range of soil types based on field experience in several dams and levees (Table 1).
At present, hybrid reactors are normally designed using experimental results for a recommended ratio of the biofilm carrier based on field experience, some iteration steps do not include all of its parameters (Lee 1992) or the system is simplified as a two separate reactors run in series (Gebara 1999).
5 The Chinese AAS has been used to screen Chinese women for IPV and some modifications have been made based on field experience gained while using this tool.
