The science behind the ripples and wakes in water

The angle at the apex of the wake of a boat is fixed at about 40 degrees, irrespective of a boat’s speed. This pattern is called a Kelvin wake. Photograph: A stone dropped in a pond generates waves in a beautiful changing pattern, a rippling ring radiating ... [Published Irish Times - May 16 2013]

...According to news reporting originating from Seoul, South Korea, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "We examined the association of fatty acid (FA) composition in serum phospholipids with the features of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and arterial stiffness. Korean men (n=593, 30-79yrs) were categorized based on the number of MetS risk factors (RFs) and measured for the markers of MetS, serum phospholipid FA composition and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), an index for the severity of arterial stiffness."

Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: "In processing seismic data obtained from a particular arrangement of seismic source(s) and receiver(s), one of the commonly performed operations to construct an image of the subsurface from the data is called migration. In data migration, reflection events in the seismic data, in particular in time-domain seismic data records, are moved to their correct locations in the seismic image space, which is typically a three-dimensional space (x-y-z or x-y-time) representing a volume of the subsurface, wherein use is made of prior knowledge of the distribution of seismic wave velocity in the subsurface. So, migration is a method of mapping the data from the seismic data domain to the image domain. Migration is an important tool in seismic interpretation for displaying the locations of geological interfaces (events) in the subsurface. Still, migration methods themselves create some degree of noise and/or image distortion or spurious events, such as so-called migration smiles. The latter is particularly pronounced when processing Vertical Seismic Profiling (VSP) data, measured with seismic receivers in a well penetrating the subsurface and seismic sources at or near the surface. In many situations, the migration smiles are suppressed in the final subsurface image after stacking (adding) all the images over sources and/or receivers."

...According to news reporting out of Seoul, South Korea, by NewsRx editors, research stated, "Metabolic syndrome (MS) is associated with increased risks of diabetes and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. However, data on the impact of MS and its individual components on subclinical atherosclerosis (SCA) according to diabetes status are scarce."
