Spatiotemporal variability of the low-frequency sound field in a coastal wedge in the presence of an internal Kelvin wave (IKW) is studied both experimentally and theoretically. The experiments were carried out in Lake Kinneret, Israel (also known as the Sea of Galilee) in August 2021, with a wideband sound source deployed near the shore and receiving vertical line arrays located at the lake's center. Parameters of the IKW were obtained earlier from long-term thermistor string measurements combined with conductivity, temperature, and depth data. The IKW initiated range-dependent vertical displacements of the thermocline with a maximum amplitude near the shore and almost zero amplitude in the center of the lake. It corresponded to a thermocline inclination angle of ±0.08° with respect to the horizontal. Temporal variations in depth-averaged acoustic intensity, reaching almost 8 dB, and remarkable changes in the normal mode composition were registered. These effects are explained based on simulations using a parabolic equation and normal mode models. The role of mode coupling in acoustic intensity variations is assessed.

Background: Rapid human movement plays a crucial role in the spatial dissemination of the dengue virus. Nevertheless, robust quantification of this relationship using both spatial and temporal models remains necessary. This study aims to explore the spatial and temporal patterns of dengue transmission under various human movement contexts.

The cooling of water clusters through evaporation into a vacuum is studied using classical molecular dynamics with the SPC water model, and the results are compared with macroscopic theory. A simple model based on the Hertz-Knudsen equation significantly underestimates cooling rates. A modified approach that accounts for the Kelvin equation provides better results.

Background: Effective fall prevention interventions in hospitals require appropriate allocation of resources early in admission. To address this, fall risk prediction tools and models have been developed with the aim to provide fall prevention strategies to patients at high risk. However, fall risk assessment tools have typically been inaccurate for prediction, ineffective in prevention, and time-consuming to complete.
