Concept Design of a Near-Space Radar for Maritime Surveillance and Near-Field Tsunami Early-Warning [PDF]

, 2008
Off-shore detection of Tsunami waves is a critical component of an effective Tsunami early warning system (TEWS). Even more critical is the off-shore detection of local Tsunamis, namely Tsunamis that strike coastal areas within minutes from the ...

NUMERICAL MODELING OF THE 1998 PAPUA NEW GUINEA TSUNAMI USING THE COMCOT

Barekeng
The Papua New Guinea tsunami of 1998 is a unique phenomenon because the source of the tsunami propagation has been speculated. There was a 7.1-magnitude earthquake on July 17, 1998, at 18:49 WIT before the tsunami hit the Aitape area.

Simulation of Tsunami Waves Using Mike 3 Flow Model FM [PDF]

Journal of Hydraulic Structures
Tsunamis are a series of ocean waves with exceptionally long wavelengths and can be incredibly destructive when they reach coastal areas. These waves are typically triggered by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides.

Holocene shoreline displacement and the impact of the Storegga tsunami on Hinnøya, northern Norway

Boreas, EarlyView.
The Holocene relative sea‐level (RSL) history of Norway's largest island, Hinnøya, has been investigated in detail, using sediment records from 25 isolation basins. The sediments were analysed for macrofossil and phytoplankton content, which served as the basis for identifying marine–lacustrine transitions, that is isolation contacts. Terrestrial plant

Depositional processes of varved sediments from proglacial Lago Frías since 1800 CE (North Patagonian Andes, Argentina)

Boreas, EarlyView.
The glacierized Valle Frías in Northern Patagonia is one of the best‐studied valleys in South America and includes varved sediments from Lago Frías. We complement this lacustrine record with a high‐resolution documentation of varve counts and their composition.

Honokiol regulates Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)‐associated pulmonary fibrosis via the miR‐19a‐3p/POSTN axis

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and subsequent pulmonary fibrosis are associated with high mortality and limited treatment options. Periostin (POSTN) is a profibrotic mediator predicted to be regulated by microRNA‐19a‐3p (miR‐19a‐3p), but the relevance of this axis in ARDS‐associated pulmonary fibrosis remains

Advancing Near-Field Tsunami Fragility Modeling Through Structural Simulation and Post-Event Damage Observations

Infrastructures
Tsunami fragility modeling plays a central role in probabilistic coastal risk assessment; however, representing structural vulnerability under near-field tsunami conditions remains challenging due to complex hydrodynamic loading, strong spatial ...
