NON-UNIFORM SUSPENDED SEDIMENTS UNDER WAVES

Entrainment threshold of sand- to granule-sized sediments under waves

Determination of sediments diameter using acoustic waves

The use of acoustic waves in researches related to sea water is of most importance among scientists recently. Since these waves are the only waves, transmitted in water with lowest attenuation and high speed, they can be used in many scientific fields. The main goal of this research is to better understand the physics and mechanisms of sound-seabed interaction, including acoustic penetration, p...

Suspended sediments limit coral sperm availability

Suspended sediment from dredging activities and natural resuspension events represent a risk to the reproductive processes of coral, and therefore the ongoing maintenance of reefal populations. To investigate the underlying mechanisms that could reduce the fertilisation success in turbid water, we conducted several experiments exposing gametes of the corals Acropora tenuis and A. millepora to t...

Persistent Homology under Non-uniform Error

Using ideas from persistent homology, the robustness of a level set of a real-valued function is defined in terms of the magnitude of the perturbation necessary to kill the classes. Prior work has shown that the homology and robustness information can be read off the extended persistence diagram of the function. This paper extends these results to a non-uniform error model in which perturbation...

Scheduling VOQ Switches under Non-Uniform Traffic

Abstract — Input queueing is becoming increasingly important for high-bandwidth switches and routers. In previous work, we proved that it is possible to achieve 100% throughput for input-queued switches using a cell-by-cell scheduling algorithm called LQF. However, LQF is too complex to implement in hardware. In this paper we introduce a new algorithm called Longest Port First (LPF), which is d...
