Abstract. We present a set of observations on meltwater meandering rivulets ice and compare them (qualitatively quantitatively) to morphologies commonly found in channels different media. The include data from planned centimeter-scale experiments incidental self-formed millimeter-scale rivulets. Our show pulsed lateral migration features, undercut banks overhangs, meander bend skewness, cutoffs...

The statistics of meanders is studied in connection with the Temperley-Lieb algebra. Each (multi-component) meander corresponds to a pair of reduced elements of the algebra. The assignment of a weight q per connected component of meander translates into a bilinear form on the algebra, with a Gram matrix encoding the fine structure of meander numbers. Here, we calculate the associated Gram deter...

In this paper, a compact high-pass filter (HPF) with a sharp rejection response based on the balanced composite right-left handed (CRLH) transmission line (TL) concept is proposed. A series LC resonator using an interdigital capacitor and meander lines is designed. Also, a meander spiral complementary split ring resonator (MSCSRR) is used to realize the parallel LC resonator. The high-pass filt...

We consider some distributions of one sided maxima of excursions and related variables for standard random walk and Brownian motion. We propose some new exotic options called meander options related to one of the fragments: the meander. We discuss the prices of meander options in a Black-Scholes market. 2000 AMS Subject classification: 60J55; 60J65; 91B28

Increasingly, marine robots and unmanned surface vehicles will be deployed in rivers and riverine environments. The structure produced by flowing waters is worth investigating because it may be exploited for purposes of estimation, planning, and control. This report adopts a widely acknowledged model for the geometry of watercourse channels, namely sine-generated curves, as a basis for estimato...

A dual microstrip meander slot antenna is presented for Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) application. The proposed antenna comprises a rectangular microstrip patch element embedded with two meander slots. The parametric study is performed to investigate the characteristics of microstrip patch antenna with double meandered slots compared to one without any meander slot. Microstrip patch antenn...

We present the design, fabrication and test of a large-displacement electromagnetic actuator using the meander springs, exposed partially to magnetic field. We compare two prototypes including the conventional prototype F with the meander springs exposed fully to magnetic field and the present prototype P with the meander springs exposed partially to magnetic field. In the experimental study, t...
