The accuracy of using high-order Boussinesq-type models as compared to the typical order models is examined in this paper. The high-order model used is the two-layer model of Lynett and Liu in 2004, which captures both linear and nonlinear wave evolution up to kh 6. The physical situations examined all involve nearshore breaking, and an eddy-viscosity type breaking model is adopted for the two-...

A method for computing low{temperature series for renormalized operators in the two{dimensional Ising model is proposed. Series for the renormalized magnetization and nearest{neighbor correlation function are given for the majority rule transformation on 2 2 blocks and random tie{breaker. These series are applied to the study at very low temperature of the rst{order phase transition undergone b...

In a generalized Maker-Breaker positional game, Maker and Breaker play in turns. Maker makes a moves in each turn and Breaker makes b moves in each turn. We choose Maker to be the first player, although this nearly always makes no difference in the outcome of the game. We call such games (a : b)-games. If a = b, the game is fair, otherwise it is biased. If a = b > 1, the game is accelerated. In...

How can the large power needs of future electric ships for propulsion, radar, and weapons systems be met given the prohibitive size and weight of the required number of standard 60 Hz AC generators and transformers? A solution may lie in a rugged, efficient, and compact solid-state, 10-20 kV Medium Voltage DC (MVDC) circuit breaker (Figure 1). In this paper, Diversified Technologies, Inc. will ...

β-amyloid hypothesis is the predominant hypothesis in the study of pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. This hypothesis claims that aggregation and neurotoxic effects of amyloid β (Aβ) is the common pathway in a variety of etiological factors for Alzheimer's disease. Aβ peptide derives from amyloid precursor protein (APP). β-sheet breaker peptides can directly prevent and reverse protein misfol...

Abstract This paper designs an intelligent protective circuit breaker, which can monitor the leakage, voltage, current, temperature, and other parameters in user’s line real-time through built-in electric energy metering module, temperature sensors, alarm according to set threshold. It give early warning about dangerous situation advance. At same time, it upload cloud platform wireless communic...
