Experiments on extremely steep deterministic waves generated in a large wave tank by focusing of a broadbanded wave train serve as a motivation for the theoretical analysis of the conditions leading to wave breaking. Particular attention is given to the crest of the steepest wave where both the horizontal velocity and the vertical acceleration attain their maxima. Analysis is carried out up to ...

8 Gradients of PtdIns4P between organelle membranes and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) 9 are thought to drive counter-transport of other lipids via non-vesicular traffic. This novel 10 pathway requires the SAC1 phosphatase to degrade PtdIns4P in a “cis” configuration at 11 the ER to maintain the gradient. However, SAC1 has also been proposed to act in “trans” 12 at membrane contact sites, which...

Although the Mesoscale Community Compressible (MC2) model successfully reproduces the wind climate (for wind energy development purposes) of the Gaspé region, equivalent simulations for the steep mountainous southern Yukon have been unsatisfactory. An important part of the problem lies in the provision of suitable boundary conditions in the lower troposphere. This paper will describe an alterna...

Abstract Analyzing a recent case of the church’s involvement in geothermal project Wae Sano, Flores, Indonesia, from an ecclesiological point view, this article aims to demonstrate one formidable obstacle realization vision synodal church. While many theological reflections following Pope Francis’s pronouncement notion ‘an entirely Church’ have led conclusion that synodality is modus vivendi et...
