Taylor columns form above peaks in the South Scotia Ridge in the Southern Ocean. They affect circulation and mixing in the Weddell-Scotia Confluence where the Antarctic circumpolar current (ACC) and the subpolar Weddell Gyre mix. [10] The iceberg A23a is approximately 50km across and broke free from the Antarctic coast in 1986.
In the older notion of nonparametric skew, defined as () /, where is the mean, is the median, and is the standard deviation, the skewness is defined in terms of this relationship: positive/right nonparametric skew means the mean is greater than (to the right of) the median, while negative/left nonparametric skew means the mean is less than (to ...
In condensed matter physics, the Little–Parks effect was discovered in 1962 by William A. Little and Ronald D. Parks in experiments with empty and thin-walled superconducting cylinders subjected to a parallel magnetic field. [1] It was one of the first experiments to indicate the importance of Cooper-pairing principle in BCS theory. [2]
In statistics and probability theory, the nonparametric skew is a statistic occasionally used with random variables that take real values. [1] [2] It is a measure of the skewness of a random variable's distribution—that is, the distribution's tendency to "lean" to one side or the other of the mean.
An experiment is a procedure carried out to support or refute a hypothesis, or determine the efficacy or likelihood of something previously untried. Experiments provide insight into cause-and-effect by demonstrating what outcome occurs when a particular factor is manipulated. Experiments vary greatly in goal and scale but always rely on ...
On the surface of the cylinder, or r = R, pressure varies from a maximum of 1 (shown in the diagram in red) at the stagnation points at θ = 0 and θ = π to a minimum of −3 (shown in blue) on the sides of the cylinder, at θ = π / 2 and θ = 3π / 2 . Likewise, V varies from V = 0 at the stagnation points to V = 2U on the ...
Streamlines immediately below the cylinder are curved with a larger radius than streamlines above the cylinder. This means there is higher pressure acting on the lower surface than on the upper. [15] Air immediately above and below the cylinder is curving downwards, accelerated by the pressure gradient. A downwards force is acting on the air.
[1] [2] As waves shoal in the nearshore zone, in addition to their wavelength and height changing, their asymmetry and skewness also change. [3] Wave skewness and asymmetry are often implicated in ocean engineering and coastal engineering for the modelling of random sea states , in particular regarding the distribution of wave height ...
