Preface: Thematic issue “Landslide-generated tsunami waves”

Evolution of water waves generated by subaerial solid landslide

Waves generated by aerial and subaerial landslides are studied experimentally, theoretically and numerically. A set of experiments are done in a wave tank of 18 m long, 0.65 m wide and 1.5 m deep. Numerical simulations are in good agreement with the experiments. Based on numerical and experimental results, we derive different scaling laws which show a good agreement with the experiments and the...

Energy of tsunami waves generated by bottom motion

In the vast literature on tsunami research, few articles have been devoted to energy issues. A theoretical investigation on the energy of waves generated by bottom motion is performed here. We start with the full incompressible Euler equations in the presence of a free surface and derive both dispersive and non-dispersive shallowwater equations with an energy equation. It is shown that dispersi...

Preface to Pediatric Issue

The Korean Journal of Pediatric Neurosurgery (KJPN) was first issued in 2004 under the initiative of Dr. Dong Won Kim, the 10th President of Korean Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery (KSPN), and Dr. Young Shin Ra, Publishing Committee Chair of KSPN. Until 2013, KJPN has published 21 review articles, 57 original articles, and 33 case reports. KJPN used Korean and English bilingually. KJPN contri...

Thematic Issue: Protists

Ulva zoospores preferentially settle on N-acylhomoserine lactone (AHL) producing marine bacterial biofilms. To investigate whether AHL signal molecules also affect the success and rate of zoospore germination in addition to zoospore attraction, the epiphytic bacteria associated with mature Ulva linza were characterized and bacterial isolates representative of this community tested for the abili...
