High-resolution observations of the path of the overflow from the Sicily Strait
No full textHigh-resolution velocity and hydrographic measurements, including data acquired by the autonomous underwater vehicle AUTOSUB-2, are used to provide a detailed description of the path of the deep and intermediate overflow waters in the north-west region of the Sicily Strait. There are two branches of the overflow: one passing through the western sill and the other passing through the eastern sill. The western branch of the overflow is seen to circulate around the central bank separating the two sills and head back towards the eastern Mediterranean before turning northwards again. It then follows a path similar to that of the eastern branch but at a deeper level. Although weak, the western branch is still identifiable 60 km downstream of the sills and lies below the eastern branch of the overflow. The net transport is estimated to be 1 Sv which is consistent with other studies. Evidence of tidal and sub-tidal variability in the overflow is also presente

No full textTidal and subtidal currents in the Strait of Sicily
No full textCurrent measurements, from shipboard and moored instruments, from the Strait of Sicily are examined to evaluate the importance of tidal and subtidal currents during summer 2000. The results show that the principal tidal components (M2, K1, S2, and O1) are particularly important in the western shelf and sill region but are significantly less important over the eastern shelf and almost negligible in the central part of the strait. There is a significant internal tide in the narrowest passage through the western sill. The residual (nontidal) currents describe the main pathways and local structures of Atlantic Water as it crosses the strait. The residual currents are compared with the geostrophic velocity calculated from simultaneous hydrographic measurements
New (Probabilistic) Derivation of Diaz-Metcalf and Pólya-Szegő Inequalities and Consequences
No full textClassical inequalities of Diaz - Metcalf and Pólya - Szegő are generalized to
probabilistic setting which covers the initial deterministic (both discrete and integral) variants.
From these two inequalities, by the probabilistic derivation method further well -
known inequalities are obtained (that ones by Kantorovich, Rennie and Schweitzer)

The electrons are waves: impossible interview to C.J. Davisson (1881-1958) and G.P. Thomson (1892-1975)
No full textThe author imagines to interview the Nobel Laureates in Physics of the year 1937, who turned upside-down modern physics, demonstrating the wave nature of matter. The answers of C. Davisson and G.P. Thomson are based on
the Nobel Lectures they delivered during the Nobel Prize Award Ceremony
Evaluatierapport “Powered by you”: Ontwikkeling Sustainable Energy Floor- energieopwekkende vloer
No full textOp weg naar rendabele energieopwekking door lopen. Er was een voorsprong in kennis en ervaring aangaande de techniek die nodig was een energie genererende loopvloer (de Sustainable Energy Floor – SEF) te realiseren. Specifieke aanpassingen moesten echter ontwikkeld worden in verband met de andere bewegingsvorm, de schaal die vele malen groter is en de andere installatie- en logistieke eisen. Het doel was om een pilot te doen op één of meer aansprekende locaties. Het project moest een belangrijke stap zijn op weg naar rendabele energieopwekking door lopen. Samen met de TU Delft, faculteit Industrieel Ontwerpen en Rinnic Vaude is onderzoek gedaan naar de haalbaarheid van het ontwikkelen van SEF, zijn prototypes en een pilotvloer gerealiseerd, tests gedaan en presentaties en demonstraties gegeven aan vele partijen en een breed publiek in Delft en Rotterdam. Vanwege technische knelpunten gedurende het project en de praktische haalbaarheid is er niet één grote pilot voor een langere periode gedaan, maar zijn er meerdere kortdurende pilots en tests gedaan. Het voordeel hiervan was dat we op basis van de analyses, tests en de feedback van gebruikers op verschillende versies prototypes, het ontwerp steeds verder konden verbeteren. Tenslotte heeft dit geresulteerd in het bouwen van de pilotvloer, waarmee de eindtest in De Kuip is uitgevoerd naar tevredenheid van alle betrokken partijen. Het project is succesvol afgerond en de doelstellingen zijn gehaald binnen het gestelde budget. Het project is uitgevoerd met steun van het programma Kansen voor West, wat valt onder het Europese Fonds voor Regionale Ontwikkeling.Industrial Design Engineerin
