A note on oblique water entry
An apparently minor error in Howison, Ockendon & Oliver (J. Eng. Math. 48:321–337, 2004) obscured the fact that the points at which the free surface turns over in the solution of the Wagner model for the oblique impact of a two-dimensional body are directly related to the turnover points in the equivalent normal impact problem. This note corrects some results given in Howison, Ockendon & Oliver (2004) and discusses the implications for the applicability of the Wagner\ud
model

Slave Revolt at Battery Wagner
The assault on Battery Wagner: we so often look at that tense moment on a beach in South Carolina from the eyes of the men of the 54th Massachusetts. They hailed from all over the United States. Some were from Pennsylvania, Massachusets, Connecticut - born free and willing to risk it all for the freedom of others. Some were from the American South, former chattel property who had seized their freedom of their own accord. [excerpt
Review Of The Zinzendorf-Muhlenberg Encounter: A Controversy In Search Of Understanding By W. H. Wagner
An H-Theorem for the Lattice Boltzmann Approach to Hydrodynamics
The lattice Boltzmann equation can be viewed as a discretization of the
continuous Boltzmann equation. Because of this connection it has long been
speculated that lattice Boltzmann algorithms might obey an H-theorem. In this
letter we prove that usual nine-velocity models do not obey an H-theorem but
models that do obey an H-theorem can be constructed. We consider the general
conditions a lattice Boltzmann scheme must satisfy in order to obey an
H-theorem and show why on a lattice, unlike the continuous case, dynamics that
decrease an H-functional do not necessarily lead to a unique ground state.Comment: 6 pages, latex, no figures, accepted for publication in Europhys.

A Monte Carlo study of random surface field effect on layering transitions
The effect of a random surface field, within the bimodal distribution, on the
layering transitions in a spin-1/2 Ising thin film is investigated, using Monte
Carlo simulations. It is found that the layering transitions depend strongly on
the concentration of the disorder of the surface magnetic field, for a
fixed temperature, surface and external magnetic fields. Indeed, the critical
concentration at which the magnetisation of each layer changes the
sign discontinuously, decreases for increasing the applied surface magnetic
field, for fixed values of the temperature and the external magnetic field
. Moreover, the behaviour of the layer magnetisations as well as the
distribution of positive and negative spins in each layer, are also established
for specific values of , , and the temperature . \\Comment: 5 pages latex, 6 figures postscrip
Are Genetically Robust Regulatory Networks Dynamically Different from Random Ones?
We study a genetic regulatory network model developed to demonstrate that
genetic robustness can evolve through stabilizing selection for optimal
phenotypes. We report preliminary results on whether such selection could
result in a reorganization of the state space of the system. For the chosen
parameters, the evolution moves the system slightly toward the more ordered
part of the phase diagram. We also find that strong memory effects cause the
Derrida annealed approximation to give erroneous predictions about the model's
phase diagram.Comment: To be published in Computer Simulation Studies in Condensed-Matter
