The field of internal waves in the Black Sea is quite significant. shelf particular interest, but it has not been studied enough some specific regions. For example, a narrow and steep Abkhazia poorly explored. Particularly unexplored are actual parameters causes generation this area. In article, we have attempted to fill gap by analyzing remote sensing data situ data. An analysis set optical mu...

The Gartcosh Industrial Site, North Lanarkshire is home to the largest known population of great crested newts (Triturus cristatus,) in Scotland. Economic development of the site required the translocation of the great crested newt and four other amphibian species from existing ponds to a purpose built reserve around the periphery. Monitoring the effectiveness of translocation as a mitigation m...

In species with a high male reproductive skew, competition between males for the top dominant position is high and escalated fights are common between competitors. As a consequence, challenges incur potentially high costs. Selection should favor males who time an alpha male challenge to maximize chances of a successful outcome minimizing costs. Despite the importance of alpha male replacements ...

This paper focuses on the investigation carried out on the failure of the MSC Napoli using two-dimensional (2D) symmetric (i.e. vertical bending) hydroelasticity analysis. The aim of the investigation was to assess the influence of whipping-induced loads on the structural strength of this containership. Relevant structural, hydrostatic and operational data were provided. The calculations were c...

Innovation in processor design tends to happen in waves. The introduction of the first 4-bit/8-bit microprocessor designs (the 4004/8008) by Intel in 1971/1972 triggered a wave of competing designs from other semiconductor companies, including Motorola, Zilog, MOS Technology, TI, Rockwell, RCA, Fairchild, and others. The SPARC® architecture was part of a wave of RISC processor designs that appe...

The effects of rough surface scattering on the detection and imaging of objects are important in many applications including the imaging of objects on or near ocean surfaces and the detection of objects buried under ground rough surfaces. This paper focuses on the following problems: (1) Scattering from wedge-like rough surfaces representing ocean surfaces with sharp crested waves. (2) Scatteri...
