Nonlinear evolution of narrow-banded unidirectional gravity wave trains along wave flume is studied both experimentally and numerically. The spatial version of the Zakharov equation serves as the theoretical model. The frequency domains of spatially linearly unstable disturbances to a monochromatic wave, as well as the frequencies of the most linearly unstable modes are determined theoretically...

A boundary element method (BEM) combined with a linear slip boundary condition is proposed to calculate SH wave scattering from fractures. The linear slip boundary condition was proposed by Schoenberg (1980) to model elastic wave propagation through an imperfectly bonded interface, where the traction cross the interface is continuous and displacement is discontinuous. Here, we demonstrate how t...

The character of the electronic transitions in the ultraviolet-visible-near infrared (UV-vis-NIR) spectra of platinum-bis(alkynyl) bridged, bis-triarylamine mixed-valence systems trans-[Pt(C≡CC6H4NAr2)2 (PR3)2](n+) (R = ethyl, Ar = C6H4CH3-4 (1) or C6H4OCH3-4 (2); R = Ph, Ar = C6H4CH3-4 (3) or C6H4OCH3-4 (4), n = 0, 1, 2) has been determined from a combination of spectroscopic measurement and d...

In this work, attempts are made to study the dispersion of Love waves in dry sandy layer sandwiched between fiber reinforced layer and inhomogeneous half space.Inhomogeneity in half space associated with density and rigidity and considered in exponential form. Displacement components for fiber reinforced layer, dry sandy layer and inhomogeneous half-space have been obtained by using method of s...

A new method of moment tensor inversion is developed, which combines surface wave data and P-wave first inotion data in a linear programming approach. Once surface wave spectra and first niotion data are given, tlic method automatically obtains the solution that satisfies first motion data and minimizes the L1 norm of the surface wave spectra. We show the results of eight events in which the me...

We use series expansions to study the excitation spectra of spin-1/2 antiferromagnets on anisotropic triangular lattices. For the isotropic triangular lattice model (TLM), the high-energy spectra show several anomalous features that differ strongly from linear spin-wave theory (LSWT). Even in the Néel phase, the deviations from LSWT increase sharply with frustration, leading to rotonlike minima...

The potential of Neural Networks (NN) to provide accurate estimates of nonlinear interactions for wind wave spectra by means of direct mapping is considered. Expanding on a previously reported feasibility study, an Empirical Orthogonal Functions (EOF) based NN for single peaked spectra is shown to be much more accurate than the well known Discrete Interaction Approximation (DIA), at the expense...

One of the most important reactions of the URCA that lead to the cooling of a neutron star, is neutron beta-decay ( ). In this research, the energy spectra and wave functions of massive fermions taking into account the Anomalous Magnetic Moment (AMM) in the presence of a strong changed magnetic field are calculated. For this purpose, the Dirac-Pauli equation for charged and neutral fermions is ...

A method has been devised for calibrating and measuring aspects of displacement records of cardiac movement. Forty-five normal subjects have been studied using this method, and a normal range has been calculated for the heights of the a wave, systolic outward movement, rapid-filling wave, and the ratio of rapid-filling wave to duration. The consistency of the results obtained and factors produc...

Spectra of the streamwise velocity component in fully developed turbulent pipe flow are presented for Reynolds numbers up to 5.7x10(6). Even at the highest Reynolds number, streamwise velocity spectra exhibit incomplete similarity only: while spectra collapse with both classical inner and outer scaling for limited ranges of wave number, these ranges do not overlap. Thus similarity may not be de...
