This paper describes a new application of polyhedral theory to the growth of the outer sheath of certain viruses. Such structures are often modular, consisting of one or two types of units arranged in a symmetric pattern. In particular, the polyoma v

A simple but highly accurate approximation to the form and speed of a limiting Stokes wave in deep water was recently given by Rainey and Longuet-Higgins [R.C.T. Rainey, M.S. Longuet-Higgins, A close one-term approximation to the highest Stokes wave

A remarkably accurate approximation to the profile of a limiting progressive gravity wave in water of infinite depth is given by the expression (0.1) y / L = A cosh ( x / L ) , where L is the wavelength, x and y are horizontal and vertical coordinate

In very gradually shoaling coastal water the energy of incident waves appears to be absorbed not by breaking at the upper surface, but predominantly by turbulent dissipation near the rippled sea bed. The question has been asked whether there can be t

Theoretical arguments suggest that progressive gravity waves incident on a vertical wall can produce periodic standing waves only if the incident wave steepness ak is quite small, certainly less than 0.284. Laboratory experiments are carried out in w

By direct numerical time stepping, using two different methods of calculation, we follow the development of a standing gravity wave on the surface of deep water when it is given an initial energy exceeding that of the most energetic periodic wave of

In a plane hexagonal array of pores such as occurs in Thalassiosira oestrupii and other related species of marine diatom, the presence of a single, exceptional pore near the center of the array can cause the distortion in the pattern in such a way th

A new system of equations for calculating time-dependent motions of deep-water gravity waves (Balk 1996) is here developed analytically and set in a form suitable for practical applications. The method is fully nonlinear, and has the advantage of ess
