Simulating Erosive and Accretive Conditions in the Swash: Applications of a Nonlinear Wave and Morphology Evolution Model

This work presents a new model for surf and swash zone morphology evolution induced by nonlinear waves.Wave transformation in the surf and swash zones is computed by Copper Tube Bending Pliers a nonlinear wave model based on the higher order Boussinesq equations for breaking and non-breaking waves.Regarding sediment transport, the model builds on p

Exploiting the linked teaching and learning international survey and programme for international student assessment data in examining school effects: A case study of Singapore

This paper attempts to demonstrate the usefulness of the linkage data from two international large-scale assessment studies, Teaching and Learning International Survey 2013 (TALIS) 2013 and Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2012, in examining the effects of schools.Data from seven educational systems are used to link, and four c
