Expressions for the displacements and the stresses for surface wave motion generated by a time-harmonic line load applied to the surface of an isotropic linearly elastic half-space are determined in a simple manner by the use of the reciprocity theorem. It is shown that their amplitudes show perfect agreement with the corresponding amplitudes obtained in the conventional manner by applying the Fourier transform technique. As an application of the reciprocity approach, the surface wave motion generated by uniform pressure over a cylindrical cavity located on the surface of a half-space has been determined. The analytical results have been verified by comparison with boundary element method (BEM) results. For a prescribed frequency and depth of the cavity, the analytical and BEM results are graphically displayed versus the surface length of the cavity, and show excellent agreement.

Global changes in extreme tropical cyclone wave heights under projected future climate conditions.

Tropical cyclone risks are expected to increase with climate change. One such risk is extreme ocean waves generated by surface winds from these systems. We use synthetic databases of both historical (1980-2017) and future (2015-2050) tropical cyclone tracks to generate wind fields and force a computationally efficient wave model to estimate significant wave heights across all global tropical cyclone basins.

Motivation: Proteins at the cell surface connect signaling networks and largely determine a cell's capacity to communicate and interact with its environment. In particular, variations in transcriptomic profiles are often observed between healthy and diseased cells, leading to distinct sets of cell-surface proteins. For these reasons, cell-surface proteins may act as biomarkers for the detection of cells of interest in tissues or body fluids, are often the target of pharmaceutical agents, and hold significant promise in the clinical practice for diagnosis, prognosis, treatment development, and evaluation of therapy response.

The incident angle of seismic waves influences the dynamic response of rock slopes. However, the relationship between the back-slope effect in strong earthquake areas and the incident angle has not been well-explained. Based on the equivalent nodal force method and the viscoelastic artificial boundary theory, the oblique incidence of seismic P-wave and SV-wave are carried out in FLAC3D software.

Quantum computers promise a qualitative speedup in solving a broad spectrum of practical optimization problems. The latter can be mapped onto the task of finding low-energy states of spin glasses, which is known to be exceedingly difficult. Using D-Wave's 5000-qubit quantum processor, we demonstrate that a recently proposed iterative cyclic quantum annealing algorithm can find deep low-energy states in record time.

Wave ripples can provide valuable information on their formative hydrodynamic conditions in past subaqueous environments by inverting dimension predictors. However, these inversions do not usually take the mixed non-cohesive/cohesive nature of sediment beds into account. Recent experiments involving sand-kaolinite mixtures have demonstrated that wave-ripple dimensions and the threshold of motion are affected by bed clay content.
