Propagation of Kuroshio Extension Meanders between 143° and 149°E [PDF]

, 2012
A two-dimensional array of current- and pressure-recording inverted echo sounders provided synoptic measurements of the upper and deep fluctuations in the Kuroshio Extension between 143° and 149°E with mesoscale resolution.

Silicone Breast Implants as a Model System for Understanding Polymer Permeation in Soft Materials In Vivo

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Silicone breast implants are presented as a model system for understanding polymer permeation in vivo. Rather than representing material failure, “gel bleed” emerges from solution–diffusion transport‐mediated. By integrating polymer architecture, physicochemical transport, and biointerfacial processes, this review provides a unified framework that ...

Computed Tomography‐ and Photoacoustic Imaging‐Active Bioresorbable Electrospun Bismuth Nanoparticle‐Infused Small‐Diameter Vascular Grafts

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A polymeric graft loaded with radiopaque bismuth nanoparticles is expected to undergo gradual polymer resorption and nanoparticle release. This design enables noninvasive, multimodal monitoring of device integrity, patency, and degradation using computed tomography alongside ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging over 12 weeks.

Rational Tuning of Hygroscopic Oscillation of Stacked Nanoflake Assemblies for Continuous Ambient Energy Harvesting

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Stacked nanoflake assembly (SNA) membranes can oscillate autonomously, offering opportunities for soft actuation and energy harvesting. This work uncovers the physical mechanism behind the sustained oscillation of SNA membranes in gradient humidity and identifies three governing dimensionless parameters, enabling rational design for optimizing SNA ...

Gulf Stream meanders over steep topography

, 1993
Observations of the Gulf Stream thermocline as it meanders over the continental slope off Cape Hatteras are presented. The sections reveal that the Gulf Stream front systematically shoals when it meanders offshore, an effect not observed farther ...

River meanders [PDF]

, 1978
Rivers studied in Ohio showed that the curvature radius of different meanders were consistently 2 to 3 times the channel width. This ratio was identical to the values found by Leopold and Wolman (1957).

Predicting Equilibrium Bed Morphology of Large‐Scale Meandering Rivers Using a Novel LES‐Trained Machine Learning Approach

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems
Flood‐induced deformation of the bed topography of fluvial meandering rivers could lead to riverbank displacement, infrastructure failure, and the propagation of scour and deposition features.

Bioinspired Adaptive Surfaces for Intelligent Liquid Manipulation: Progressing From Passive and Active to Hybrid Strategies

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines passive, active, and hybrid liquid manipulation strategies, highlighting hybrid approaches as an emerging route to reconcile energy efficiency with adaptive control. By actively reconstructing passive surfaces to store programmable interfacial energy, hybrid systems enable flexible yet low‐power liquid transport, with perspectives ...

Surface tension meanders - a computer simulation

, 1984
Surface tension meanders are used as a basis for studying the meander phenomenon. Experimental work has led to the formation of the hypothesis that the deterministic component of meandering may be explained by the combined action of centrifugal and ...

River Meanders, Tributary Junctions, and Antecedent Morphology

Hydrology
Tributaries to meandering rivers rarely join the river on the interior of bends. The limited drainage area on bend interiors explains why tributaries seldom form there, but not why existing tributaries are redirected as meanders develop.
