The Rhine which has a length of about 900 km. (approximately 560 statute miles) carries perhaps a greater volume of traffic than any other river in the world. This traffic mainly consists nowadays of high-powered motor vessels varying in size between 300 and 1500 tons, and large tugs towing six to eight non-motorized barges of 500–3000 tons.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
