Extreme wave run-up and pressure on a vertical seawall

The performance of coastal vertical seawalls in extreme weather events is studied numerically, aiming to provide guidance in designing and reassessing coastal structures with vertical wall. The extreme wave run-up and the...

Controlling surface porosity of graphene-based printed aerogels
Abstract: The surface porosity of graphene-based aerogels strongly influences their performance in applications involving mass transfer. However, the factors determining the surface porosities are not well-understood, hindering...

Mating-driven variability in olfactory local interneuron wiring.
Variations in neuronal connectivity occur widely in nervous systems from invertebrates to mammals. Yet, it is unclear how neuronal variability originates, to what extent and at what time scales it exists, and what functional...

Keenan and Comrie's Accessibility Hierarchy (AH) applied to clefting predicts greater c1eftability of subject (s U) than direct object (DO). However, in some Eastern Austronesian languages, particularly Tongan, some transitive...
Typological Parameters for the Lexica-syntactic Structures of High-digit Numerical Expressions
Cheng Luo
Jul 30, 2013
The objective of this paper is to explore the lexico-syntactic structure of high-digit numerical expressions (henceforth HDNEs), normally with 4 digits and more, and to propose a set of typological parameters to account for...
Building an Allocentric Traveling-Direction Signal Via Vector Computation
Cheng Lyu
Jan 01, 0001
Many behavioral tasks require the manipulation of mathematical vectors, but, outside of computational models, it is not known how brains perform vector operations. Here we show how the Drosophila central complex, a region...

Asset Liquidity and Indivisibility
We study asset liquidity in a search-theoretic framework where divisible assets can facilitate exchange for an indivisible consumption good. The distinctive characteristics of our theory are that the asset dividend can be either...

An Integrated System Planning and Process Control System for Marine Wastewater Management
An ideal combination of both system planning and process control can greatly reduce system cost and maximize economic and environmental benefits associated with marine oily wastewater treatment. If appropriate process control is...
Selective Dealkenylative Functionalization of Styrenes via C-C Bond Cleavage.
As a readily available feedstock, styrene with about 25 million tons of global annual production serves as an important building block and organic synthon for the synthesis of fine chemicals, polystyrene plastics, and...

Airborne Molecular Contamination
This review paper focuses on the recent knowledge about airborne molecular contamination (AMC) and its impacts on 300-mm wafer fabrication processes. The adverse impacts on process materials by both organic and inorganic...
Video Object Counting With Scene-Aware Multi-Object Tracking
The critical challenge of video object counting is to avoid counting the same object multiple times in different frames. By comparing the appearance and motion feature information of the detection results, the authors use the...
Do You Speak Chinese, Mandarin, or Cantonese? An Explanation Based on a Native Chinese Speaker’s Early Experience
Cheng Li
Dec 20, 2018
This article reports on my early experiences with learning and speaking varieties of Chinese, responding to the curious questions on the power relationship between Mandarin and other dialects in China today. A series of...
Multi-body dynamic analysis of float-over installations
The paper investigates the interaction effects due to diffraction by a large volume substructure and an installation barge, during the operation of setting the deck onto the substructure. Linear theory is adopted. The barge...
