Increasingly, marine robots and unmanned surface vehicles will be deployed in rivers and riverine environments. The structure produced by flowing waters is worth investigating because it may be exploited for purposes of estimation, planning, and control. This report adopts a widely acknowledged model for the geometry of watercourse channels, namely sine-generated curves, as a basis for estimato...

This paper discusses the calculation of bend minimal shapes for non-planar graphs with given topology. Based on the Simple-Kandinsky drawing standard – a simplification of the more complex Kandinsky standard – we show the disadvantage of using standard models for this task: We show that the minimal bend count is suboptimal, when these models are applied to non-planar graphs; it is therefore ben...

In octilinear drawings of planar graphs, every edge is drawn as an alternating sequence of horizontal, vertical and diagonal (45◦) line-segments. In this paper, we study octilinear drawings of low edge complexity, i.e., with few bends per edge. A k-planar graph is a planar graph in which each vertex has degree less or equal to k. In particular, we prove that every 4-planar graph admits a planar...

A rigorous classical analytic model of confined optical wave propagation along 2-D bent slab waveguides and curved dielectric interfaces is investigated, based on a piecewise frequency domain ansatz for bend mode profiles in terms of Bessel and Hankel functions. This approach provides a clear picture of the behaviour of bend modes, concerning their decay for large radial arguments or effects of...

Dense seismic array monitoring has recently allowed the detailed investigation of sources ground vibrations and their spatiotemporal dynamics. In a context where traditional techniques for fluvial processes often do not provide data with adequate temporal spatial resolution, use dense arrays could allow identification tracking different river-induced (e.g. turbulence bedload transport). Here, w...

or as the ends of a boiv are drawn together." They have a legend that it visits the country every thirty years. The epidemic arrived in Bhamo in June last, having travelled up the Irrawaddy Yalley starting in Rangoon in May and visiting Mandalay during the early part of June. It is interesting to note this following of the important trade route. It is not unlikely that the epidemic originated f...

In this study, the effects of heat treatment of aluminum alloy on the tube bending process were investigated in the rotary draw bending process. As two experimental and numerical simulation methods were used to determine the wall-thinning, ovality, and spring back for extruded, annealed, and aged AA6063 aluminum alloy tubes in different bending angles and bend radii. Numerical simulations were ...

The incidence of Meloidogyne incognita and Rotylenchulus reniformis on cotton was determined in 1989-92 from 1,089 soil samples collected from 31 counties that account for nearly 60% of the 2.2 million hectares planted to cotton in Texas. Meloidogyne incognita was commonly found in the Southern High Plains and Brazos River Valley regions of Texas (57% and 34%, respectively, of samples) but was ...
