The significant effect of waves on coastal and marine activities urges the precise identification of wave characteristics using field measurements, theoretical studies, physical modeling or numerical simulations. In order to study thoroughly the wave climate in the Caspian Sea, a wave modeling and hindcast project was performed by Iranian National Center for Oceanography. In this study, one of ...

The Hanseatic League was the major commercial power in northern Europe from the twelfth through the fifteenth centuries. During this time, it grew to encompass the coasts of the North and Baltic Seas and maintained economic influence over key areas on the European continent. From the inception of the Hanseatic League until the mid-fifteenth century, one ship type dominated the inland and overse...

Introduction SOSORT Consensus Conference (Milan 2005) developed about the main important features of a correct treatment based on physical exercises states that the main point is self correction. The SEAS school of treatment focuses on Active Self Correction (ASC) that is the series of movements of reallignemnt as a whole that the patients autonomously performs in order to reduce the scoliotic ...

The erosive action of rivers and seas has immense influence on the appearance of the physical landscape. However, the creation of several important river and coastal features are not available in terrain creation software and systems. We have designed algorithms to easily create these features, namely (1) river meanders, (2) river deltas, (3) coastal cliffs, and (4) beaches. A terrain that does...

The emblems of my essay are maglevs speeding through tunnels below the surface of Earth and a crucifix glowing between the antlers of a stag, the vision of St. Hubert. Propelled by magnets, maglev trains levitate passengers with green mobility. Maglevs symbolise technology, while the fellowship of St. Hubert with other animals symbolises behaviour. Better technology and behaviour can do much to...
