Short water surface waves generated by wind in a water tunnel have been measured by an optical technique that provides a synoptic picture of the water surface gradient over an area of water surface (Zhang & Cox 1994). These images of the surface gradient can be integrated to recover the shape of the water surface and find the two-dimensional wavenumber spectrum. Waveforms and two-dimensional st...

The interaction of the dominant semidiurnalM2 internal tide with the large-scale subtidal flow is examined in an ocean model by propagating the tide through an ensemble of background fields in a domain centered on theHawaiianRidge. The background fields are taken from the SimpleOceanDataAssimilation (SODA) ocean analysis, at 2-month intervals from 1992 through 2001. Tides are computed with the ...

A chenier is a beach ridge, consisting of sand and/or shells, overlying muddy substrate. In this paper, we explore the cross-shore dynamics cheniers in their ‘active’ phase, i.e. phase between formation and landing on shore can no longer be reached by daily wave tidal influences. While described literature are known to only migrate onshore until they reach stable position with crest level above...

We construct various periodic travelling wave solutions of the Ostrovsky/HunterSaxton/short pulse equation and its KdV regularized version. For the regularized short pulse model with small Coriolis parameter, we describe a family of periodic travelling waves which are a perturbation of appropriate KdV solitary waves. We show that these waves are spectrally stable. For the short pulse model, we ...

various stresses during life can affect metabolism and brain activities, immune and endocrine systems directly and indirectly, and ultimately, causes animal behavior change. the cellular and molecular level change in neurotransmitter and hormone concentrations led to the functional changes of operating systems in the intracellular organelles.  these events cause of course oxidative stress. all ...

In spite of wide spread investigations performed,the biological effects of ultrasound waves,specially on DNA molecule has not been fully understood.since any alteration in DNA molecule can lead to chromosome abnormality,the study of clastogenic effects of ultrasound is important.in this study,the effect of 1MHz frequency continuous waves with the power of 0.5,1 and 1.5 watts on G human lymphocy...

In a two-uid system where the lower uid is bounded below by a rigid bottom and the upper uid is bounded above by a free surface, two kinds of solitary waves can propagate along the interface and the free surface: classical solitary waves characterized by a solitary pulse or generalized solitary waves with nondecaying oscillations in their tails in addition to the solitary pulse. The classical s...
