Exxon Valdez Incident
John D Halley
Apr 09, 2013
The Exxon Valdez was an oil tanker owned by the ExxonMobil Shipping Company, which gained its infamy after running aground in Prince William Sound spilling more than 11 million galleons (approximately 258,000 barrels) of crude...

Volumetric measurements and simulations of the vortex structures generated by low aspect ratio plunging wings
Volumetric three-component velocimetry measurements have been performed on low aspect ratio wings undergoing a small amplitude pure plunging motion. This study focuses on the vortex flows generated by rectangular and elliptical...
Extinction properties of multi-type continuous-state branching processes
Recently in Barczy, Li and Pap (2015), the notion of a multi-type continuous-state branching process (with immigration) having d-types was introduced as a solution to an d-dimensional vector- valued SDE. Preceding that, work on...
Lift enhancement through flexibility of plunging wings at low Reynolds numbers
In this paper the combined effect of two mechanisms for lift enhancement at low Reynolds numbers are considered, wing oscillations and wing flexibility. The force, deformation and flow fields of rigid and flexible low aspect...
Three-dimensional measurements of vortex breakdown
Leading-edge vortex formation and breakdown have been measured over a periodically plunging non-slender delta wing at a high angle of attack, using a three-dimensional particle-tracking method. A very rare type of vortex...
A tool for enhancing interactions during crises and aiding collective decision-making
This work focuses on how individuals interact and make collective decisions during crisis situations. We developed a prototype to aid the decision-making process by focusing on how to facilitate the “correct information to the...

Understanding game semantics through coherence spaces
Game Semantics has successfully provided fully abstract models for a variety of programming languages not possible using other denotational approaches. Although it is a flexible and accurate way to give semantics to a language...
Active Blended Learning
This chapter focuses on the joint implementation of blended learning and active learning. The authors analysed 152 institutional websites containing definitions of these concepts. Blended learning is commonly, though arguably...

On the absence of asymmetric wakes for periodically plunging finite wings
It has previously been shown that, at high Strouhal numbers, oscillating airfoils can produce deflected jets that can create very high lift-coefficients for otherwise symmetric scenarios. These deflected jets form through...
Information extraction in emergency management missions
Abstract: With increasing demands for autonomous agents to work alongside
humans in emergency management response (EMR), considerations of
translations of human to machine language (and the converse) are timely....

Thrust enhancement due to flexible trailing-edge of plunging foils
Drag reduction for hydrofoils is studied through thrust generation on foils plunging at low Strouhal numbers in order to simulate the action of the ocean waves. Force, deformation and flow field measurements are presented for a...

Periodically plunging foil near a free surface
Experiments were performed to investigate the effects of amplitude and depth on the drag reduction of a NACA 0012 airfoil plunging near a free surface for a range of frequencies. Beyond the effect of the free surface, at low...
Vector Mosquito Surveillance Using Centers For Disease Control and Prevention Autocidal Gravid Ovitraps In San Antonio, Texas
Mosquito surveillance in large urban areas of the southern USA that border Mexico has become increasingly important due to recent transmission of Zika virus and chikungunya virus in the Americas as well as the continued threat...
