Raman Signature of the Wings of the Globe Skimmer Dragonfly: Pantala flavescens
Raman spectroscopy is used to confirm the presence of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and related derivatives including aldehydes, halides, alcohols, acids, esters, and phenols on the wings of Pantala flavescens. The analysis indicates that wing‐surface lipid composition is largely consistent across the three main ecological zones in Ghana. Notably,

Harbor‐Induced Tidal Salinity Dispersion in Partially Stratified Estuaries
Abstract The contribution of tidal trapping to salt dispersion has been well described for well‐mixed estuaries, in terms of barotropic filling and emptying of the traps. How traps contribute to salt dispersion in deeper, partially stratified systems remains underexplored.

Abstract River bifurcations control water and sediment distribution in fluvial systems, but the physical mechanisms governing sediment partitioning remain poorly validated in natural rivers. We present a comprehensive field test of nodal point relations using radio frequency identification (RFID) tracking of 376 gravel clasts through a meandering river

Abstract The seafloor morphology and subsurface geometry of a late Neogene contourite drift located along the Peru margin is documented for the first time using multibeam bathymetry, two‐dimensional and three‐dimensional seismic data. Along the margin several submarine canyons incise the shelf and slope.

A verification of unsteady Navier-Stokes solutions around oscillating airfoils [PDF]
A finite difference solution code for the two dimensional Navier-Stokes equations was combined with a moving-grid system. The thin layer Navier-Stokes equations with a turbulence model are solved in a time-accurate manner in order to study the unsteady ...
