Modelling pyroclastic density currents of the April 2021 La Soufrière St. Vincent eruption: from rapid invasion maps to field-constrained numerical simulations
(Geological Society of London, 2024-04-01)<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p> The April 2021 La Soufrière of St. Vincent eruption generated several pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) during the two weeks of the crisis, from April 9 ... -
Wave-by-wave forecasts in directional seas using nonlinear dispersion corrections
(American Institute of Physics, 2023-06-02)<jats:p>We develop a new methodology for the deterministic forecasting of directional ocean surface waves based on nonlinear frequency corrections. These frequency corrections can be pre-computed based on measured energy ... -
Yeast cell wall extracts from Saccharomyces cerevisiae varying in structure and composition differentially shape the innate immunity and mucosal tissue responses of the intestine of zebrafish (Danio rerio)
(Frontiers Media SA, 2023-05-25)With the rising awareness of antimicrobial resistance, the development and use of functional feed additives (FFAs) as an alternative prophylactic approach to improve animal health and performance is increasing. Although ... -
How Efficient Is Model-to-Model Data Assimilation at Mitigating Atmospheric Forcing Errors in a Regional Ocean Model?
(MDPI AG, 2023-04-27)This paper examines the efficiency of a recently developed Nesting with Data Assimilation (NDA) method at mitigating errors in heat and momentum fluxes at the ocean surface coming from external forcing. The analysis uses ... -
Exploring expert perceptions about microplastics: from sources to potential solutions
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2023-04-11)Concern about plastic pollution, including microplastics, is high amongst European citizens, and effective actions are needed to reduce microplastic pollution. However, there is still uncertainty and debate about the major ... -
Holocene variations in the Asian Summer and Winter Monsoons reconstructed from extensive lacustrine sediments in the Mu Us Desert, northern China
(Elsevier BV, 2023-08-01)The Salawusu River Valley cuts through the Mu Us Desert in north central China, and lies at the interface of the East Asian Summer and Winter Monsoonal regions. Exposed at numerous locations in the valley side are extensive ... -
Distributed stress fluidisation: insights into the propagation mechanisms of the Abona debris avalanche (Tenerife) through a novel method for indurated deposit sedimentological analysis
(Frontiers Media, 2023-05-18)Introduction: Volcanic debris avalanches mobilise large volumes and achieve long runouts with high destructive potential. However, the propagation processes that generate them are not currently explained by theoretical ... -
Biophysical flocculation reduces variability of cohesive sediment settling velocity
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2023-04-24)Biophysical cohesion, introduced predominantly by Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS) during mineral flocculation in subaqueous environments, plays important role in morphodynamics, biogeochemical cycles and ecosystem ... -
The Feasibility of Using Behavioural Profiling Technique for Mitigating Insider Threats: Review
(Aircc Publishing Corporation, 2019-08-24)Insider threat has become a serious issue to the many organizations. Various companies are increasingly deploying many information technologies to prevent unauthorized access to getting inside their system. Biometrics ...
