The transport of sand and dust by wind is a potent erosional force, creates sand dunes and
ripples, and loads the atmosphere with suspended dust aerosols. This paper presents an …

Fractional calculus has been used to model various hydrologic processes for 15 years. Yet,
there are still major gaps between real-world hydrologic dynamics and fractional-order …

Sand, rice, sugar, snow, cement... Although ubiquitous in our daily lives, granular media still
challenge engineers and fascinate researchers. This book provides the state-of-the-art of the …

The group of enzymes known as TOR (for'target of rapamycin') kinases regulates cell growth
and proliferation in response to nutrients and hormone-dependent mitogenic signals,. Here …

Untitled Page 1 Page 2 GEOMORPHOLOGY OF DESERT DUNES Sand dunes cover up to a
quarter of many desert regions. Determining the factors that determine their shape, size and …

We report an experimental investigation of the motion of bed load particles under steady and
spatially uniform turbulent flow above a flat sediment bed of uniform grain size. Using a high …

We review the concept of dynamical ensembles in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics as
specified from an action functional or Lagrangian on spacetime. There, under local detailed …

An erodible bed sheared by a fluid flow, gas or liquid, is generally unstable, and bed forms
grow. This review discusses the following issues, in light of the recent literature: What are the …

In 438 alphabetically-arranged essays, this work provides a useful overview of the core
mathematical background for nonlinear science, as well as its applications to key problems …

The blowing of sand by wind, known as saltation, ejects dust aerosols into the atmosphere,
creates sand dunes, and erodes geological features. We present a comprehensive …
