A one-dimensional hybrid numerical model is presented of a shallow-water flume with an incorporated piston paddle. The hybrid model is based on the improved Boussinesq equations by Madsen and Sørensen (1992) and the nonlinear shallow water equations. It is suitable for breaking and non-breaking waves and requires only two adjustable parameters: a friction coefficient and a wave breaking paramet...

Understanding the spatial distribution of wave overtopping water behind coastal protection structures is essential for assessing safety level regions defences. The volume determines planning and arrangements critical infrastructures (e.g., railways, roads buildings) in regions. This study presents a series laboratory-scale physical modelling experiments to investigate plain vertical seawall wit...

Spectral and directional reshaping of fluorescence from dye molecules embedded in self-assembled hybrid plasmonic-photonic crystals has been examined. The hybrid crystals comprise two-dimensional hexagonal arrays of dye-doped dielectric nanospheres, capped with silver semishells. Comparing the reshaped fluorescence spectra with measured transmission/reflection spectra and numerical calculations...

This paper deals with the reshaping technology for realizing three-dimensional (3-D) microstructures through plastic deformation of single-crystal silicon (SCS) films by applying Joule heating. SCS beams are used for determining the behavior of SCS microstructures during reshaping. The reshaped SCS structure has a sharp corner at a point where stress and heat are concentrated. The plastic defor...

The region of Saemangeum for this study is influenced by two major rivers, Dongin and Mankyung. Currently, a 33km long seawall has been constructed for the purpose of reclamation of 283km2 land area and fresh water reservoir area of 118km2 for the major national internal development project, planned for its completion by 2030. The Saemangeum provides an optimal location for tidal power generati...

The purpose of room impulse response reshaping is to reduce reverberation and thus to improve the perceived quality of the received signal by prefiltering the source signal before it is played with a loudspeaker. The optimization of an infinityand/or p-norm based objective function in the time domain has shown to be quite effective compared to least-squares methods. Multi-position approaches ha...

Some species mount a robust antibody response despite having limited genome-encoded combinatorial diversity potential. Cows are unusual in having exceptionally long CDR H3 loops and few V regions, but the mechanism for creating diversity is not understood. Deep sequencing reveals that ultralong CDR H3s contain a remarkable complexity of cysteines, suggesting that disulfide-bonded minidomains ma...

ing away from the low level implementation problems (like network failures), thefirst threat above can result from two different situations: (a) the User Client application maybe compromised and (b) the Mode Register becomes compromised and returns the wrongmodes for the credential atoms. The situation in which the User Client application is com-promised (a) is less interesting ...

We consider three-dimensional reshaping of thin nemato-elastic sheets containing half-charged defects upon nematic-isotropic transition. Gaussian curvature, that can be evaluated analytically when the nematic texture is known, differs from zero in the entire domain and has a dipole or hexapole singularity, respectively, at defects of positive or negative sign. The latter kind of defects appears...
