Slamming of a breaking wave on a wall.

This paper is intended to study impact forces of breaking waves on a rigid wall based on a nonlinear potential-flow theory. This is a model problem for some technologically important design issues such as the impact of breaking waves on ships, coastal and offshore structures. We are interested in the short-time successive triggering of nonlinear effects using a small-time expansion. The analytical solutions for the impact force on a rigid wall and the free-surface profile are derived.

Pairwise alignment of the DNA sequence using hypercomplex number representation.

A new set of DNA base-nucleic acid codes and their hypercomplex number representation have been introduced for taking the probability of each nucleotide into full account. A new scoring system has been proposed to suit the hypercomplex number representation of the DNA base-nucleic acid codes and incorporated with the method of dot matrix analysis and various algorithms of sequence alignment. The problem of DNA sequence alignment can be processed in a rather similar way to pairwise alignment of the protein sequence.
