In nature, plumes usually enter the coastal ocean after they leave estuary, and most of them interact with continental shelf slope. To understand plume dynamics, laboratory experiments were carried out on a rotating table to simulate evolution over sloping bottom. We modified reduced gravity g’ , Coriolis parameter f slope α study their impacts characteristics freshwater fate, used optical thic...

yield copious growth on subculture. It was found that by using cocoanut oil on the scalp affected with dandruff although dandruff scales tended to disappear, the Malassezia ovalis (bottle bacillus of Unna) multiplied in the scales. This suggested the idea that the oil might serve as an enrichment medium for growth of the above organism. The new medium is simple and consists of nutrient agar ? e...

This paper studies the reliability of infinite slopes in the presence of spatially variable shear strength parameters that increase linearly with depth. The mean trend of the shear strength parameters increasing with depth is highlighted. The spatial variability in the undrained shear strength and the friction angle is modeled using random field theory. Infinite slope examples are presented to ...

It is well known that along-isobath flow above a sloping bottom gives rise to cross-isobath Ekman transport and therefore sets up horizontal density gradients if the ocean is stratified. These transports in turn eventually bring the along-isobath bottom velocity, hence bottom stress, to rest (‘‘buoyancy arrest’’) simply by means of the thermal wind shear. This problem is revisited here. A modif...
