The displacement of a large amount water in moderate-sized estuary by fast-moving mega-ship can generate tsunami-like waves. Such waves, generated cruise ships, were observed Tampa Bay, Florida, USA. Two distinct, long waves measured, which associated with the passage ship. first wave had period 5.4 min and height 0.40 m near shoreline. second 2.5 was 0.23 high. peak velocity onshore flow durin...

Title of dissertation: EXAMINING GENERAL DETERRENCE USING DATA FROM THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE Sarah J. Greenman, Doctor of Philosophy, 2014 Dissertation directed by: Professor Raymond Paternoster Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice To date, research studies have found only mild support for classic deterrence theory with the greatest support for increased certainty, little support ...

The concept of coherent structure in turbulent flow is a revolutionary idea which is being developed by evolutionary •eans. The aain objective of this review iR to list so•e solid achieve•ent1, showing what can be done by using the concept of coherent structure that cannot be done without it . The nature of structure is described in terns of so•e related concepts , including celerity. topology....

Coastal waters are an aerodynamically unique environment that has been little explored from an air-sea interaction point of view. Consequently, most studies must assume that open ocean-derived parameterizations of the air-sea momentum flux are representative of the nearshore wind forcing. Observations made at the New River Inlet in North Carolina, during the Riverine and Estuarine Transport exp...

This series of Reviews on cell death explores the creation of new therapies for correcting excessive or deficient cell death in human disease. Signal transduction pathways controlling cell death and the molecular core machinery responsible for cellular self-destruction have been elucidated with unprecedented celerity during the last decade, leading to the design of novel strategies for blocking...

Once upon a time, a spirited horse was dragging a boat along a peaceful canal of Northern Scotland. Suddenly, a ferocious dog charged from the bushes. The horse took fright and ran off, drawing the boat after him. To the horse's surprise, the boat offered almost no resistance at this high speed. A clever naval engineer, who chanced to witness the scene, pursued the matter through numerous exper...
