A new nonlinear analytical model for canopy flow over gentle hills is presented. This model is established based on the assumption that three major forces (pressure gradient, Reynolds stress gradient, and nonlinear canopy drag) within canopy are in balance for gentle hills under neutral conditions. The momentum governing equation is closed by the velocity-squared law. This new model has many ad...

In this paper we examine an organizational discourse on radical transformation by identifying and analyzing management narratives claiming to be representative of different organizational stakeholders. We do this from the perspective of Stakeholder Agency Theory (Hills and Jones 1996) and by employing analytical approaches typical of hermeneutics, historical analysis and the sociology of action...

Overview: Many of the icy satellites in our solar system include young, highly tectonized terrains. Two of the most prominent examples of such surfaces are Ganymede's grooved terrain and Enceladus' south polar tiger stripes, both of which appear to have ages of less than 1 Ga [1, 2]. While cryovolcanism likely has occurred and is occurring on these bodies, the lack of obvious cryovolcanic struc...

We present in situ transmission electron microscope tensile tests on focused ion beam fabricated single and multiple slip oriented Cu tensile samples with thicknesses in the range of 100-200 nm. Both crystal orientations fail by localized shear. While failure occurs after a few percent plastic strain and limited hardening in the single slip case, the multiple slip samples exhibit extended homog...

We introduce a continuum approach to studying the lifetimes of monovalent metal nanowires. By modelling the thermal fluctuations of cylindrical nanowires through the use of stochastic Ginzburg-Landau classical field theories, we construct a self-consistent approach to the fluctuation-induced “necking” of nanowires. Our theory provides quantitative estimates of the lifetimes for alkali metal nan...
