Rip current/cuspate shoreline interactions in Southern Monterey Bay [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The interaction between rip channels and cuspate shoreline was examined by analyzing data obtained by the Naval Postgraduate School Imaging System (NAPSIS) during the winter of 2004-2005 in Southern Monterey Bay.

A Proof‐of‐Concept Assessment of a Novel Wearable Eyelid Muscle Device: A Pre‐Clinical Animal Cadaver Study for Eyelid Closure Restoration

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article introduces a soft wearable eyelid sling device incorporating a hydraulic soft artificial muscle (SAM) for achieving complete closure of an eyelid. The SAM is driven by a cam mechanism that provides a displacement profile closely matched with those of a healthy eyelid.

Beachgoers’ ability to identify rip currents at a beach in situ [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Rip currents (“rips”) are the leading cause of drowning on surf beaches worldwide. A major contributing factor is that many beachgoers are unable to identify rip currents.

A Prediction Method for LEO Satellite Channels Under Channel Aging

open access: yesIEEE Access
To address channel state information (CSI) aging in low-Earth-orbit (LEO) links caused by propagation delay and platform/user mobility, we study CSI prediction with carrier-to-noise ratio ( $C/N_{0}$ ) as the target.

Rip current types, circulation and hazard [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Rip currents are narrow and concentrated seaward-directed flows that extend from close to the shoreline, through the surf zone, and varying distances beyond. Rip currents are ubiquitous on wave-exposed coasts.
