3-D Modeling of Nearshore Circulation Using ROMS-SWAN: Model Upgrades and Evaluation
… water applications by including wave induced radiation stresses provided through coupling with a wave propagation model (e.g., SWAN, REF/DIF). The coupled model has been applied to surf zone applications like oblique incidence of waves on a planar beach, rip current formation in alongshore bar …

Cross-shelf circulation and momentum and heat balances over the inner continental shelf near Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts
… and bottom pressure; surface gravity waves; wind stress; and heat flux between the ocean and atmosphere during 2001-2007. When waves are small, cross-shelf wind stress is the dominant mechanism driving cross-shelf circulation. The along-shelf wind stress does not drive a substantial cross-shelf …

The impact of land reclamation on tidal dynamics and suspended-sediment dynamics in Jiaozhou Bay, Qingdao, China
… even though the combined wave-current bottom stress has the largest effect, the effect of mean current advection and refraction of wave energy, wave radiation stress, and wave pressure stress (listed from high to low) are also comparable.

Investigation of mechanical behavior of Alloy 709 for advanced fast reactor applications
… will be exposed to more extreme conditions of radiation, stress, and temperature than those of prior generations. The development and characterization of novel materials to withstand such environments is a necessity. Alloy 709, developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory, is a high strength …

Shallow sea tidal friction and sediment transport
… that the wave-current interaction, due to radiation stress effects, would have produced changes in the surface roughness over the bank that relate well to the image brightness variation. The flow over a rough strip of the sea-bed within a constant depth region or a core of relict beach …

Modelling waves and near-shore circulation around the Cape Peninsula: towards enhanced predictions for South African coastal activities
… revealed the gyre to be driven by wave induced radiation stress gradients. Model experiments with and without wave-coupling demonstrated that the gyre causes material differences in virtual drift trajectories and affects the monthly mean general circulation. This highlights its potential impact …

Electrodeposition of Nb, Ta, Zr and Cu from Ionic Liquid for Nanocomposites Preparation
… to control defects produced by high doses of radiation, stress and temperature: their properties can be exploited in nuclear power reactor. Immiscible systems constituted by Cu/Nb or Cu/Ta multilayers exhibit higher thermal stability and improved mechanical properties with respect to bulk Nb, …

Little Buoys, Big Ocean: Observations of Wave-Driven Transport of Buoyant Objects in the Nearshore and Marginal Ice Zone
… speeds were measured. A combination of wave radiation stress gradient-driven currents, direct windage on the drifters, and Ekman transport accounts for their observed drift speeds. These results suggest that wave-driven transport mechanisms cause a significant portion of the observed drift at …

Stromal-epithelial dynamics in response to fractionated radiotherapy
… of all malignancies are primarily treated with radiation, but the heterotypic nature of tumor cells greatly complicates their response to radiotherapy. The need for reliable parameters to predict tumor and normal tissue response to radiation is therefore a prime concern of clinical oncology. …

Characterization of Amorphous Carbon Films for Mask Protection during Ion Beam Bombardment
… carbon films with low initial compressive stress, which remains constant to very high ion doses. In particular, Nounu and Abichandani’s coating technique is repeated but more fully characterized, refined to eliminate the effects of mask charging, and improved with respect to radiation …
