A study of the non-linear properties and wave generation of the multi-layer non-hydrostatic wave model SWASH
Despite the increasing use of non -hydrostatic models in the study of wave processes in coastal regions, there is still limited understanding of the non-linear properties of the governing equations and how they improve with increased vertical resolution. In this study, the governing equations of the non -hydrostatic wave model SWASH are analysed an...
Direct pore-scale comparison of solute transport in saturated and unsaturated porous media using fast micro-computed tom...
Solute transport in unsaturated conditions is important in various applications and natural environments, such as groundwater flow in the vadose zone. Studies of unsaturated solute transport show complex characteristics (e.g. non-Fickian transport) due to larger variations in the pore-scale velocities compared to transport in saturated conditions. ...
Comparative evaluation of crash hotspot identification methods : empirical bayes vs. Potential for safety improvement us...
The empirical Bayes (EB) method is widely acclaimed for crash hotspot identification (HSID), which integrates crash prediction model estimates and observed crash frequency to compute the expected crash frequency of a site. The traditional negative binomial (NB) models, often used to estimate crash predictive models, typically struggle with accounti...
Titanium : sapphire-on-insulator integrated lasers and amplifiers
Titanium:sapphire (Ti:sapphire) lasers have been essential for advancing fundamental research and technological applications, including the development of the optical frequency comb1, two-photon microscopy2 and experimental quantum optics3,4. Ti:sapphire lasers are unmatched in bandwidth and tuning range, yet their use is restricted because of thei...
Multipeaked breakthrough curves in karstic rivers : effects of a diffluence-confluence system
In karstic environments, it is not unusual for an underground river to split into two or more streams (diffluence) and merge back together downstream (confluence). This kind of behavior can generate multipeaked breakthrough curves (BTCs) in dye tracing at a sampling site located downstream of the confluence(s). It is also possible that such a pheno...

Outstanding Quadratic to Septic Optical Nonlinearity at Dipolar Alkynylmetal-Porphyrin Hybrids
Porphyrins are important macrocycles with applications in several areas including therapy, catalysis, and sensing. Strong nonlinear optical (NLO) responses are the key to fully exploiting the potential of these biocompatible molecules. We herein report that certain metal-alkynyl donor/nitro acceptor-functionalized porphyrins are attractive candidat...
