Weakly nonlinear water waves over varying topography by Xiao, Rong

“…By a re- ordering of the perturbation expansion procedure, the resulting equation set included higher order linear dispersive and depth dependent terms, and the leading nonlinear terms, without having to extend the derivation to fourth order in the wave steepness.…”

Design, synthesis, characterization and property study of topological structures of DNA by Li, Dawei

“…It is demonstrated in the current studies for the first time that the shapes of DNA writher (toroidal and interwound forms) can be precisely created sheerly through maneuvering the sequence of DNA and with no involvement of topological enzymes. …”

Mechanics of nonlinear short-wave generation by a moored near-surface buoy by Zhu, Q., Liu, Y., Tjavaras, A.A., Triantafyllou, M.S., Yue, D.K.P.

“…The numerical scheme accounts for nonlinear wave-wave and wave-body interactions up to an arbitrary high order in the wave steepness and is able to treat extreme motions of the cable including conditions of negative cable tension. …”

Turbulent Flow over a Flexible Wall Undergoing a Streamwise Traveling Wavy Motion by Shen, Lian, Zhang, Xiang, Yue, Dick K.P., Triantafyllou, Michael S.

“…The Reynolds number based on the mean velocity U of the external flow and wall motion wavelength λ is 10 170; the wave steepness is 2πa/λ = 0.25 where a is the travelling wave amplitude. …”

Global fertility in 204 countries and territories, 1950–2021, with forecasts to 2100: a comprehensive demographic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 by Bhattacharjee, NV, Schumacher, AE, Aali, A, Almidani, O, Bandyopadhyay, S, Graham, SM, Lacey, BWH, Maude, RJ, Runghien, T, Rodriguez, JAB

“…Trends since 2000 show considerable heterogeneity in the steepness of declines, and only a small number of countries experienced even a slight fertility rebound after their lowest observed rate, with none reaching replacement level. …”
