This paper presents a numerical model for simulating fully dispersive, nonlinear water waves in coastal areas. A finite difference method based on the Keller-Box scheme is used to solve the incompressible Euler equations with the free-surface boundary conditions. The sigma coordinate transformation maps the irregular physical domain with the wavy free surface and the uneven bottom to a rectangu...

Introduction: Bacteria have at least one sigma factor (σ-factor) that transcribes the genes required for cell viability. Usually, transcription of σ-factors occurs and changes in response to a variety of environmental stresses. Expression of σ-factors is one of the strategies which is used in response to different stress conditions. This study was aimed to evaluate the effects...

The Real Time Ocean Forecast System (RTOFS) for the North Atlantic is an ocean forecast system based on the HYbrid coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM). HYCOM is the result of a collaborative effort between the University of Miami, the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), and the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), as part of a multi-institutional HYCOM Consortium for Data-Assimilative Ocean Modeling ...

let $mathcal{a}$ be a banach algebra and $mathcal{m}$ be a banach $mathcal{a}$-bimodule. we say that a linear mapping $delta:mathcal{a} rightarrow mathcal{m}$ is a generalized $sigma$-derivation whenever there exists a $sigma$-derivation $d:mathcal{a} rightarrow mathcal{m}$ such that $delta(ab) = delta(a)sigma(b) + sigma(a)d(b)$, for all $a,b in mathcal{a}$. giving some facts concerning general...
