Zonally symmetric adjustment in the presence of artificial relaxation
(American Meteorological SocietyJournal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2014-06-15)
Numerical experiments, presented in a companion paper, have been performed in which the zonal mean state of the stratosphere in a comprehensive, stratosphere-resolving, general circulation model is strongly relaxed (or ...
Entrainment in two coalescing axisymmetric turbulent plumes
(Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2014-07-11)
A model of the total volume flux and entrainment occurring in two coalescing axisym-metric turbulent plumes is developed and compared to laboratory experiments. The
dynamical evolution of the two plumes is divided into three ...
Variable selection with error control: Another look at Stability Selection
(Wiley on behalf of the Royal Statistical SocietyJournal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series B (Statistical Methodology), 2012-06-21)
Stability Selection was recently introduced by Meinshausen and B¨uhlmann (2010)
as a very general technique designed to improve the performance of a variable selection algorithm.
It is based on aggregating the results of ...
Higher order corrections and unification in the minimal supersymmetric standard model: SOFTSUSY3.5
(ElsevierComputer Physics Communications, 2014-12-18)
We explore the effects of three-loop minimal supersymmetric standard model renormalisation group equation terms and some leading two-loop threshold corrections on gauge and Yukawa unification: each being one loop higher ...
Quantitative differences in developmental profiles of spontaneous activity in cortical and hippocampal cultures
(SpringerNeural Development, 2015-01-28)
Background: Neural circuits can spontaneously generate complex spatiotemporal firing patterns during
development. This spontaneous activity is thought to help guide development of the nervous system. In this study,
we had ...
A Numerical Technique for Linear Elliptic PDEs in Polygonal Domains
(Royal Society PublishingProceedings of the Royal Society A, 2015-02-11)
Integral representations for the solution of linear elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs) can be obtained using Green's theorem. However, these representations involve both the Dirichlet and the Neumann values on ...
Efficient mixing in stratified flows: experimental study of a Rayleigh-Taylor unstable interface within an otherwise stable stratification
(Cambridge University PressJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2014-09-09)
Boussinesq salt-water laboratory experiments of Rayleigh–Taylor instability (RTI) can achieve mixing efficiencies greater than 0.75 when the unstable interface is confined between two stable stratifications. This is much ...
On the thermodynamic boundary conditions of a solidifying mushy layer with outflow
(CUPJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2014-11-27)
The free-boundary problem between a liquid region and a mushy layer (a reactive porous medium) must respect both thermodynamic and fluid dynamical considerations. We develop a steady two-dimensional forced-flow configuration ...
A physically based parameterization of gravity drainage for sea-ice modelling
(Wiley on behalf of the American Geophysical UnionJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2014-09-02)
We incorporate a physically derived parameterization of gravity drainage,
in terms of a convective upwelling velocity, into a one-dimensional, thermodynamic sea-
ice model of the kind currently used in coupled climate ...
