Development of 3D beach evolution model for sand nourishments and its application to morphodynamics around coastal structures
A numerical model to predict three-dimensional (3D) beach evolution after sand nourishment was developed. The injection process of sand to near shoreline or offshore area was expressed by the sediment flux in the conservation equation associated with sediment transports and water depth changes, furthermore, sand dredging process\ud
was considered. In this study, First, computation of beach evolution around a coastal structure with and without nourishment was carried out. Secondly, the developed model was applied to the sand recycling project conducted at a field site, Kaike Coast, Tottori, Japan. Computed result was compared with the field data at Kaike Coast. Finally, the applicability of the developed model was investigated

Universal Magnetic-Field-Driven Metal-Insulator-Metal Transformations in Graphite and Bismuth
Applied magnetic field induces metal - insulator and re-entrant
insulator-metal transitions in both graphite and rhombohedral bismuth. The
corresponding transition boundaries plotted on the magnetic field - temperature
(B - T) plane nearly coincide for these semimetals and can be best described by
power laws T ~ (B - B_c)^k, where B_c is a critical field at T = 0 and k = 0.45
+/- 0.05. We show that insulator-metal-insulator (I-M-I) transformations take
place in the Landau level quantization regime and illustrate how the IMT in
quasi-3D graphite transforms into a cascade of I-M-I transitions, related to
the quantum Hall effect in quasi-2D graphite samples. We discuss the possible
coupling of superconducting and excitonic correlations with the observed
phenomena, as well as the signatures of quantum phase transitions associated
with the M-I and I-M transformations.Comment: 23 pages including 14 figure
