Strongly nonlinear effects on internal solitary waves in three-layer flows
We consider a strongly nonlinear long wave model for large amplitude internal waves in a three-layer ow between two rigid boundaries. The model extends the two-layer Miyata-Choi-Camassa (MCC) model (Miyata 1988; Choi &...
Geospatial distributions reflect temperatures of linguistic features.
Quantifying the speed of linguistic change is challenging because the historical evolution of languages is sparsely documented. Consequently, traditional methods rely on phylogenetic reconstruction. Here, we propose a...
Large mode-2 internal solitary waves in three-layer flows
In this paper, we investigate mode-2 solitary waves in a three-layer stratified flow model. Localised travelling wave solutions to both the fully nonlinear problem (Euler equations), and the three-layer Miyata–Choi–Camassa...
How Lean principles can be applied to the development process of educational programs?
Lean is an approach to improving business processes such as production. The overall objective of lean principles is to reduce waste and increase value. These principles have been developed and successfully applied within...

Physical demands of refereeing rugby sevens matches at different competitive levels
The aim of this study was to compare the physical demands of officiating across different competitive levels in rugby sevens. An observational design was used involving twenty-seven referees (26 males, 1 female, age: 27 ± 6...
Introduction
CCTs arguably constitute the most evaluated social programmes of recent years. Academic literature based on quantitative research has already highlighted the positive short-term effects on consumption levels, school attendance...
Benchmarking Serverless Computing
With the increasing adoption of serverless computing, there is a need for a benchmark. The aim of this paper is to present such a benchmark based on performance and usability testing to better understand serverless services as...
