Field evidence of beach profile evolution toward equilibrium

An Investigation on Beach Profile Changes in Front of Seawalls

Although there exist advanced models which predict beach profile for natural beaches, the behavior of the beaches in front of seawalls still suffers from the lack of appropriate theoretical models and sufficient measured data. In this paper, following the results obtained from the measurements, a beach profile evolution model is developed, using the measured probability distribution of the nea...

Non-equilibrium Time Evolution in Quantum Field Theory

The time development of equal-time correlation functions in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory is described by an exact evolution equation for generating functionals. This permits a comparison between classical and quantum evolution in non-equilibrium systems. This work was performed in part at CERN, Geneva. In a statistical description of nature only expectation values or correlations ...

The evolution of the CIO profile: Evidence in Chile

The great and dynamic possibilities offered by the information technologies (IT) impose new challenges to the organizations. The new capabilities of IT demand that the skills and abilities of the people in charge of the technological management evolve accordingly. In this context we are intrigued by what is the evolution of the Chief Information Officer (CIO) that endows him/her with the capaci...
