Propagation of surge waves in channels with large-scale bank roughness [PDF]

, 2013
In open channels, a sudden rise in water elevation generates a positive surge. Positive surges are commonly observed in man-made channels (Bazin 1865, Treske 1994) and a natural occurrence is the tidal bore in macro-tidal estuaries (Tricker 1965, Chanson

Sampling, Mobility, and Anchoring in Small‐Body Sampling Robots: A Comprehensive Review

SmartBot, EarlyView.
Small‐body sampling robots are exploration systems that perform contact, sampling, and stable operations on microgravity bodies such as asteroids and comets. The authors review representative robot architectures and key technologies, focusing on the mechanisms, evolution, and coupling of sampling, mobility, and anchoring.

Tidal Bore of the Dordogne River (France) on 27 September 2000 [PDF]

, 2005
When a river mouth has a flat, converging shape and when the tidal range exceeds 6 to 9 m, the river may experience a tidal bore (Photo). A tidal bore is basically a series of waves propagating upstream as the tidal flow turns to rising.

Mobile consumers influence the shoreward edge of intertidal seagrass ecosystems

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Ecological paradigms suggest that the environmentally stressful edge of a habitat is determined by physical factors. The work finds that, counter to these paradigms, an environmentally stressful edge can also be impacted by biotic interactions and are more complex than suggested.

Tidally discontinuous ocean forcing in bar-built estuaries: The interaction of tides, infragravity motions, and frictional control [PDF]

, 2016
Shallow, bar-built estuaries on wave-dominated coasts in Mediterranean climates experience an intermittent connection to the ocean. In the presence of low streamflow, their inlets may completely close as a result of nearshore sand transport, but even in ...

M. E. Grant Duff, Philosophic Liberalism and the Global Liberal Cause

History, EarlyView.
Abstract Historians disagree about how best to conceptualize nineteenth‐century British Liberalism in relation to its international contexts. This article argues that we can better understand the patterns involved by interrogating individuals who bridged the worlds of partisan politics and elaborated thought.

A downslope propagating thermal front over the continental slope [PDF]

, 2017
In the ocean, internal frontal bores above sloping topography have many appearances,depending on the local density stratification, and on the angle and source of generation of the carrier wave.However, their common characteristics are a backward breaking

Description, Articulation and Limitations in the Social Theory of Insurance

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There have been surprisingly few sustained efforts to explain or theorise the role insurance plays in society. Even the most theoretically inflected insurance scholarship, emanating from governmentality and Actor Network Theory scholarship, tends to be grounded in empirical cases, set in particular periods and places, and it is often ...

‘I, Me, Myself’: Selfhood and Melancholy in the Journals of Gertrude Savile (1697–1758)

Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the journals of Gertrude Savile from 1727 in light of recent scholarship on early modern and eighteenth‐century melancholy. The concept had myriad associations with medicine, physiology, the imagination, and feeling, but questions remain about how melancholy during this period was considered by those outside the narrow ...
