Representative pebble count procedure (adapted from Rosgen, 1996).Example: Reach configured as:Percentage:Samples for Pebble Count:30% in Pools and 70% in RifflesThis reach is approximately 23 “channel widths” in length. The channel width is approximately 20ft. Total channel length: /- 460 ft.PoolRiffle10CF LOLPOONHALE5. Specific locations of individual transects should represent typical riffles and pools.IFF3. Adjust the pebble-count transects or sampling locations so that riffles and pools are sampled on a proportional basis, wherethe percentage of samples taken in riffles is equal to the percentage of channel reach length configured as riffles, etc.4. Sample the total bankfull channel cross-section surface. The bank materials are only sampled proportional to their contributed area.1. Locate a reach for sampling through two riffle/pool sequences of a channel reach that is approximately 20 to 30“channel widths” in length.2. Determine the percentage of the reach length configured as riffles and pools. Riffle data may also be analyzed separately.Stream Habitat Measurement TechniquesDay 3: Substrate/Sediment Measurements

Day 3: Substrate/Sediment MeasurementsStream Habitat Measurement TechniquesABCFigure 18. Comparing the three axes of a particle. The B-axis, or intermediate axis, is selected fordata entry (the narrowest portion that may fit through or be retained on a sieve tray of a given size),unless the particle shape is long and linear – then the average of the A-, B-, and C-axes is recorded.Representative Pebble Count Instructions1. Pace the entire study reach; record pool lengths and non-pool lengths using the pebblecount form (see Table 6 for an example).2. Calculate the percent of the reach composed of pool and non-pool bed features.3. Determine the number of pool cross-sections and non-pool cross-sections needed (tosimplify the calculations, measure 10 particles at 10 total cross-sections).4. Identify bankfull on both sides of the channel at your first cross-section location and determinethe sampling interval (sample at equal increments across the entire bankfull channel).5. Begin the pebble count below the bankfull elevation. To avoid bias of selecting largerparticles, the observer should look away from the channel bed and select the firstparticle touched by the tip of index finger at observer’s toe. Often, a 5% bank sample istaken (one sample every other transect) to avoid skewing the particles that make up theboundary of the channel.6. Measure the length of the B-axis in millimeters and mark a dot in the correct column androw as in Table 6. If the particle is linear-shaped, average the A-, B-, and C-axes(Figure 18).7. Continue until 10 particles at 10 different cross-sections have been measured inproportion to the bed features of the reach.8. Follow the example calculations in Table 6.9. Plot the upper limit of each size class and the corresponding cumulative percent finerthan values on the x-axis and primary y-axis respectively for pool, non-pool, and total(Figure 19).10. Plot the upper limit of each size class and the corresponding value from the total #column on the x-axis and the secondary y-axis for the combined non-pool and pool total(Figure 19).11. Record the D16, D35, D50, D84, D95, and D100 on the appropriate forms.Active Bed Riffle Pebble Count Instructions1. Repeat Steps 6–11, only sampling on the active bed of the riffle cross-section (100particle counts).

best practices for FWS implementation. Second, we summarize the literature and most significant studies examining the effects of participation in FWS. The aim of this effort is to understand the current research on FWS and the program's impact on students. Based on the literature, we identified the following overarching themes:

The 2D and 3D theoretical equations for the thermal conductivity of pebble bed are derived, and compared with the modelling results using COMSOL as a numerical tool [3]. The effective thermal conductivity of Li2TiO3 pebble bed can be preliminarily obtained by analysis modelling or theoretical calculation under the lack of experimental set-up at .
