[1] Estuarine near‐surface turbulence is important for transport, mixing, and air‐water exchanges of many important constituents but has rarely been studied in detail. Here, we analyze a unique set of estuarine observations of in situ atmospheric and full water column measurements, estimated air‐sea exchanges, and acoustic measurements of several terms in the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) budg...

Kolmogorov second-order structure functions are used to quantify and compare the small-scale information contained in near-surface ocean wind products derived from measurements by ASCAT on MetOp-A and SeaWinds on QuikSCAT. Two ASCAT and three SeaWinds products are compared in nine regions (classified as rainy or dry) in the tropical Pacific between 10 S and 10 N and 140 and 260 E for the period...

In this paper, a recently proposed dimensionality reduction method called Twin Kernel Embedding (TKE) [10] is applied in 2-dimensional visualization of protein structure relationships. By matching the similarity measures of the input and the embedding spaces expressed by their respective kernels, TKE ensures that both local and global proximity information are preserved simultaneously. Experime...

Background Turbulent blood flow is a cause of energy loss in the cardiovascular system, and can thus be seen as a measure of flow inefficiency. Novel 4D flow CMR methods permit estimation of intracardiac turbulent kinetic energy (TKE). On the basis of the Reynolds number, one might expect that larger left ventricular (LV) size would promote higher TKE values, and thus lower flow efficiency. In ...

Trichosanthes kirilowii tuber is a traditional medicine which exhibits various medicinal effects including antidiabetic and anticancer activities in several cancer cells. Recently, it was reported that Cucurbitacin D (CuD) isolated from Trichosanthes kirilowii also induces apoptosis in several cancer cells. Constitutive signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), which is an onc...

Abstract. For the first time, we compare effects of four different ocean vertical mixing schemes on mean state and atmosphere in Max Planck Institute Earth System Model (MPI-ESM1.2). These are namely default Pacanowski Philander (1981) (PP) scheme, K-profile parameterization (KPP) from Community Vertical Mixing (CVMix) library, a recently implemented scheme based turbulent kinetic energy (TKE),...

We present an experimental and numerical study of the flow downstream honeycomb straighteners for a range Reynolds numbers, covering both laminar turbulent inside cells. carried out experiments with planar particle image velocimetry (PIV) in wind tunnel performed simulations to perform in-depth investigation three-dimensional field. The individual channel profiles gradually develop into one uni...

We report new measurements of the turbulent properties of the flow in a tidally energetic estuarine channel of almost uniform cross-section. A high-frequency (1.2 MHz), bottom-mounted Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) has been used to observe the velocity field at a sampling rate of 10 Hz in parallel with measurements of the surface elevation by tide gauges. Our data have been analysed u...

Prompt publication of brief reports of important discoveries in physics may be secured by addressing them to this department. Closing dates for this department are, for the first issue of the month, the eighteenth of tke preceding month, for the second issue, the third of tke month. Because of the late closing dates for the section no proof can be shorn to authors. The Board of Editors does not...
