چکیده
A source function method for the generation of waves internal to Boussinesq model grid boundaries (Wei G, Kirby JT, Sinha A. Generation of waves in Boussinesq models using a source function method. Coastal Engng 1999;36:271–299) is generalized to account for the presence of a strong current, for application to wave-current interaction problems. The method is also modified to eliminate waves propagating backwards from the source region. The resulting modification greatly reduces the extent of sponge layers or other absorbing layers needed on the upwave open boundary in Boussinesq model applications to coastal regions, where shoreline reflection is weak. q 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

A wave breaking against a sea wall causes high pressure gradients to act along the sea bed, pushing objects away from the wall. This situation is modelled using pressure impulse theory to show that, for a large object near a sea wall, the impulsive force due to the wave will move the object. This force can be found, given knowledge of the added mass and volume of an object. In particular, if th...

We consider a single-species model which is composed of several patches connected by linear migration rates and having logistic growth with a threshold. We show the existence of an aggregating mechanism that allows the survival of a species which is in danger of extinction due to its low population density. Numerical experiments illustrate these results. Ó 2000 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights ...

Lactic acid bacteria display a relatively simple metabolism wherein the sugar is converted mainly to lactic acid. The extensive knowledge of metabolic pathways and the increasing information of the genes involved allows for the rerouting of natural metabolic pathways by genetic and physiological engineering. We discuss several examples of metabolic engineering of Lactococcus lactis for the prod...

Systematic studies of MBE grown SrS:Cu thin film blue phosphors are reported. It was found that Cu was not oxidized in the as-grown SrS:Cu films. The oxidation and diffusion of Cu during the postgrowth annealing in a H2S atmosphere were identified as the key reasons for the dramatically improved grain size and luminescent properties reported earlier. Experimental evidence of the oxidation state...

Results Three hundred and eight women were randomised, 284 (92%) completed a pain scale before and immediately after the procedure. After the procedure, 84 women (30%) recorded a pain score of $6, 38 (26%) received anaesthetic and 46 (33%) an inert gel. The difference in the proportion of women recording a pain score of 6 or above between the two study groups was not signi®cant (relative risk (...
