Tests of gravitational-wave birefringence with the open gravitational-wave catalog
We report the results of testing gravitational-wave birefringence using the largest population of gravitational-wave events currently available. Gravitational-wave birefringence, which can arise from the effective field theory extension of general relativity, occurs when the parity symmetry is broken, causing the left- and right-handed polarizations to

In situ shear wave velocity from multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) tests at eight Norwegian research sites [PDF]
The Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) technique, used to determine shear wave velocity (Vs) and hence small strain stiffness (Gmax), has recently generated considerable interest in the geophysics community.

Wave-Generated Current: A Second-Order Formulation
In Stokes’ wave theory, wave numbers are corrected in the third order solution. A change in wave number is also associated with a change in current velocity.

Testing cosmology with cosmic sound waves [PDF]
WMAP observations have accurately determined the position of the first two peaks and dips in the CMB temperature power spectrum. These encode information on the ratio of the distance to the last scattering surface to the sound horizon at decoupling. However pre-recombination processes can contaminate this distance information.

Quantum-classical hypothesis tests in macroscopic matter-wave interferometry
We assess the most macroscopic matter-wave experiments to date as to the extent to which they probe the quantum-classical boundary by demonstrating interference of heavy molecules and cold atomic ensembles.

Sloshing Response of an Aquaculture Vessel: An Experimental Study
The sloshing response is crucial to the design and operation of aquaculture vessels and affects the safety of the culture equipment and the efficiency of the culture operation. A 1/50 scaled model was utilized to investigate the coupled sloshing response

A novel and simple passive absorption system for wave-current flumes
The physical limitations of experimental facilities, such as the walls and downstream gate of wave-current flumes, can cause excessive wave reflection.
