There are few high-resolution field observations of the water surface during breaking owing to difficulty collecting spatially dense measurements in surf zone, and thus factors influencing breaking-wave shape conditions remain poorly understood. Here, evolution plunging breakers is analyzed quantitatively using three-dimensional scans collected at high spatial temporal resolution with a multi-b...

We report a case of childhood Sjögren’s syndrome (CSS) in 13-year-old girl, diagnosed due to bilateral plunging ranula. (SS) is an autoimmune disease which various autoantibodies appear, mainly sialadenitis and dacryoadenitis. Plunging ranula salivary gland often encountered daily clinical work. It considered be one the symptoms SS, but this not widely known. MRI scans showed fluid retention bo...

Recent X-ray observations have shown evidence for exceptionally broad and skewed iron Kα emission lines from several accreting black hole systems. The lines are assumed to be due to fluorescence of the accretion disk illuminated by a surrounding corona and require a steep emissivity profile increasing in to the innermost radius. This appears to question both standard accretion disc theory and t...

1. A wide variety of procedures was used to test the motility of mammalian sperm after plunging them into liquid nitrogen at -195 degrees C. and later rapidly warming them to 35 degrees C. by plunging them into a suitable balanced and isotonic medium. 2. Using seminal fluid sperm from the same human donor, maximal numbers of motile sperm survived vitrification when the samples were (a) very fre...

This is the first in a series of papers that investigate the properties of accretion flows in the Kerr metric through three-dimensional, general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of tori with a near-Keplerian initial angular velocity profile. We study four models with increasing black hole spin, from a/M = 0 to 0.998, for which the structural parameters of the initial tori are mainta...

We investigate the interval between return volatilities above a certain threshold q for 10 countries data sets during the 2008/2009 global financial crisis, and divide these data into several stages according to stock price tendencies: plunging stage (stage 1), fluctuating or rebounding stage (stage 2) and soaring stage (stage 3). For different thresholds q, the cumulative distribution function...

This paper deals with the results of studies on changes in the content of total anthocyanins depending on their fermentative maceration from grapes of traditional Moravian cultivars (Blauer Portugieser, Saint Laurent and Blaufrankisch). Colouring matters were macerated in the course of alcoholic fermentation either in a closed rotary tank or in an open tank with a periodically plunging pulp cap...

Themountainous Caribbean island of Dominica was chosen as a natural laboratory for studying orographic convection in the tropics. Here, the authors focus on a prototypical case study, taken from the Dominica Experiment (DOMEX) field campaign in the spring of 2011. Airborne measurements and high-resolution numerical experiments are used to examine the mesoscale dynamics of moist airflow over Dom...
