Modulational instability of Rossby and drift waves and generation of zonal jets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We study the modulational instability of geophysical Rossby and plasma drill waves within the Charney-Hasegawa-Mima (CH M) model both theoretically, using truncated (four-mode and three-mode) models, and numerically, using direct simulations of CHM ...

Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

GRAVITATIONAL WAVES EMITTED BY EXTRASOLAR PLANETARY SYSTEMS

open access: yesInternational Journal of Modern Physics D, 2000
In this paper we consider the Extrasolar Planetary Systems recently discovered in our Galaxy as potential sources of gravitational waves. We estimate the frequency and characteristic amplitude of the radiation they emit due to the orbital motion, using the quadrupole formalism.

Waveguide Photoactuators: Materials, Fabrication, and Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Waveguide photoactuators convert guided light into mechanical motion. Their tethered‐flexible design enables minimally invasive surgery and confined‐space robotics. This review aims to guide materials selection, device design, and system integration, accelerating the transition of waveguide photoactuators from laboratory prototypes to versatile ...

Stiffness‐Programmable Origami Robots With Tendon‐Driven Actuation via Multimaterial 3D Printing

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Motion diversity is achieved in a tendon‐driven origami robot through programmable stiffness rather than modified actuation. Multimaterial 3D printing embeds soft creases, modular inserts redirect identical tendon inputs into distinct behaviors, and variable‐stiffness inserts enable real‐time switching.

Trapped planetary (Rossby) waves observed in the Indian Ocean by satellite borne altimeters [PDF]

open access: yesOcean Science, 2017
Using 20 years of accurately calibrated, high-resolution observations of sea surface height anomalies (SSHAs) by satellite borne altimeters, we show that in the Indian Ocean south of the Australian coast the low-frequency variations of SSHAs are ...
