Hydrodynamics and morphodynamics in the swash zone: hydralab III large-scale experiments [PDF]
, 2011 The modelling of swash zone hydrodynamics and sediment transport and the resulting morphodynamics has been an area of very active research over the last decade. However, many details are still to be understood, whose knowledge will be greatly advanced by

Opportunities and Alliances: The Relational Dynamics of Criminal Collusion in Latin America
The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Based on ethnographic fieldwork in Mexico and judicial wiretap analysis in Argentina, this paper shows that collusion between state actors and violent non‐state actors operates through fluid and competitive relational networks rather than stable hierarchies or fixed institutional arrangements.

Structural and biochemical basis for retinol‐binding protein 4 antagonism by tinlarebant
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Background and Purpose Retinol‐binding protein 4 (RBP4) is a member of the lipocalin superfamily that is connected to disease states such as insulin resistance, fatty liver disease and ocular disorders including Stargardt disease. Several retinoid and non‐retinoid antagonists of this protein have been developed for potential clinical use, but none have

Experimental Verification of Similarity Criteria for Equilibrium Beach Profiles
Coastal Engineering 1984, 1984 This paper presents an attempt towards the determination of the geometric distortion for beach mobile bed models. At first, a derivation of a scaling law for modelling equilibrium beach profiles is given, based on Valembois' (1961) work. Further, an experimental verification of some criteria presented in literature for the reproduction of beach ...

JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.Abstract Why has the United Kingdom repeatedly restored substantive compatibility with European Union (EU) regulatory norms despite formal withdrawal? This article introduces the concept of asymmetric regulatory embeddedness (ARE) to explain post‐membership governance in highly integrated sectors. ARE captures the structural condition in which a former

Atlantic County - Little Egg Inlet to Great Egg Harbor Inlet - NJBPN Profile #'s 134-126
, 2015 The spring and fall surveys of 2014 served to quantify the natural and human efforts to restore Atlantic County’s beaches to pre-Sandy conditions or in the case of existing federal shore protection projects, back to the design parameters.

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.Abstract The genus Paulinella represents a rare, independent case of primary endosymbiosis, providing a unique system to study the early stages of organelle evolution. Here, we expand current understanding of primary plastid endosymbiosis through the discovery and characterization of two novel photosynthetic amoebae, Paulinella marae sp. nov.

Field‐based evaluation of glass cullet as a supplementary sediment source for coastal restoration
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.There is an ever‐increasing demand for sand to support projects like beach nourishment and dune restoration, but dredging and mining sand causes environmental damage. Demonstrating the environmental and ecological compatibility of crushed and ground glass known as cullet to support coastal restoration projects could simultaneously divert waste from ...

Littoral Sediment From Rivers: Patterns, Rates and Processes of River Mouth Morphodynamics
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 Rivers provide important sediment inputs to many littoral cells, thereby replenishing sand and gravel of beaches around the world. However, there is limited information about the patterns and processes of littoral-grade sediment transfer from rivers into
