Unsteady viscous free-surface waves generated by a three-dimensional submerged body moving in an incompressible fluid of infinite depth are investigated analytically. It is assumed that the body experiences a Heaviside step change in velocity at the initial instant. Two categories of the velocity change, (i) from zero to a constant and (ii) from a constant to zero, will be analyzed. The flow is...

The theory of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves in solar coronal slabs in a zero-β configuration and for parallel propagation of waves does not allow the existence of surface waves. When oblique propagation of perturbations is considered both surface and body waves are able to propagate. When the perpendicular wave number is larger than a certain value, the body kink mode becomes a surface wave. ...

Introduction: The continuous rapid growth of the telecommunications industry and common application of cell phones have raised debates on the human health risks associated with exposure to radio frequency fields due to these phones or their base stations and other sources such as radar, radio/television waves, and industrial and medical applications. This study aimed to invest...

geophysical fluids such as atmosphere and ocean often have stable density stratification; hence internal gravity waves are generated and propagated through them which are important in momentum and energy transfer in these media. these waves are also believed to generate layered structures in such media. recently there have been numerous theoretical, experimental and numerical studies on the way...

Reflection and transmission of plane waves between two initially stressed thermoelastic half-spaces with orthotropic type of anisotropy is studied. Incidence of a SV-type wave from the lower half-space is considered and the amplitude ratios of the reflected and transmitted SV-wave, P-wave and thermal wave are obtained by using appropriate boundary conditions. Numerical computation for a particu...

This interesting book of 215 pages deserves to be read not only by medical men, be they allopaths or homoeopaths, but also by scientists, philosophers, spiritualists and laymen. The matter contained in the book relates to the subiect of setheric waves and their relation to disease. Itis well presented and crips the reader in a manner similar to that of Edgar Wallace's stories. It is impossible ...

Twenty-four genetically obese and 24 lean barrows were allotted within genotype to either a 16% CP corn-soybean meal basal diet, the basal + .69 ppm cimaterol or the basal + 1.38 ppm cimaterol. Pigs had ad libitum access to their diets from 59.3 kg to 104.5 kg body weight. No genotype x cimaterol interactions were detected (P greater than .05). Neither genotype nor cimaterol supplementation had...
