Topographic Effects On The Path And Evolution Of Loop Current Eddies, Kyung Hoon Hyun, Patrick J. Hogan

Faculty Publications

Eddy-topography (ET) interactions are important in determining the path and evolution of oceanic eddies, including Loop Current Eddies (LCE) in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM). We use the Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model and satellite altimetry data to investigate the ET interactions and the impact on LCE pathway evolution in the GOM. Satellite altimetry reveals that LCEs translate dominantly westward in the central GOM and strongly collide and reflect against topography near the continental slope in the northern and western GOM. The result is the frequent generation of an anticyclone-cyclone (AC) pair in conjunction with the LCEs. In the absence of …

Frequency Tunable Resonant Apparatus, Aristide Dogariu, Pieter Kik

UCF Patents

Tuning of the resonant state of a structure that scatters optical fields is achieved by varying the effective optical properties of the environment of a small conductive structure. The frequency tunable resonant scatterer includes a medium, a conductive structure within that medium and a second structure in the vicinity of said conductive structure, wherein the plasmon resonance of said conductive structure is tuned by way of the proximity of said second structure to said conductive structure. The second structure is gradually moved away from and closer to the nanoparticle to change the effective dielectric constant for tuning a resonance frequency …

The Effect Of Isotonic Exercises Using Kinetic Rhythm In Evaluating The General State Of The Kinetic System (Motor Equilibrium) And The Variable Muscular Strength Of The Legs For Patients With Multiple Sclerosis, Mona Talib Thabet

Modern Sport

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease affecting the central nervous system, where the patient loses the ability to control nerves, with symptoms that are variable and unpredictable, ranging from vision weakness, difficulty in movement or speech, to general fatigue—essentially causing a widespread imbalance in the body. Currently, there is no definitive cure for MS, partly because its symptoms fluctuate over time, making it difficult to assess the effectiveness of treatments; thus, managing the disease to prevent deterioration is crucial. Movement originates from the nervous system, which sends signals to muscles to perform specific actions, requiring mental focus and training …

Impact Style Of The Changeable Resistance In The Development Of Some Of The Physical & Functional Changes For The National Team For The Badminton, Abeer Dakhil Hatim

Modern Sport

Badminton is considered one of the most effective sports for developing physical fitness, as it requires competition, extensive running, jumping, quick reactions, and coordinated eye-hand movements. The game demands heightened awareness and precise timing, especially during jumps or support movements, where players must accurately judge the ball's trajectory when sending or receiving from an opponent. Given these demands, it is essential to implement advanced technical exercises to raise the performance of national team players. Based on this need, the two researchers focused on enhancing sensory perception and movement recognition, which are critical for players to maintain proper positioning during gameplay. …
