Tidal variation in field settling velocities of suspended sediment in a tidal channel
In this study, field settling velocities of the suspended sediment have been measured during two tidal periods, in Ho Bugt, on October 17, 1989 and July 24, 1990. During both periods, the current velocity, salinity, water temperature and suspended
sediment concentration were measured together with the field settling velocities of the fine-grained suspended sediment. Discussion of the results and study of the flocculation process.

This study covers the regional and settlement features of telefax facilities installed in Hungary. The introduction of this innovation started late in Hungary, compared to the West, and the process was greatly hindered by the low standards
of the existing national telecommunication network. The spread of telefax facilities followed the settlement hierarchy, from above to the bottom. - (JS)
