Air Entrainment and Gas Transfer in Wave Breaking Events by S. Di Giorgio, S. Pirozzoli, A. Iafrati

“…We show that the volume of gas transferred across the air‐water interface increases significantly with the amount of air entrained due to wave breaking, peak values in the transfer velocity being concurrent with peaks in energy dissipation rate and air entrainment. The gas transfer velocity is observed to scale approximately as the one‐fourth power of the energy dissipation rate, consistent with previous theoretical predictions. …”

“…Observations and models employed in this study are consistent in terms of melt rates occurring below the floating ice tongue. Our results suggest that the multidecadal warming of Atlantic Intermediate Water flowing into the cavity below the ice tongue – supplied by the recirculating branch of the West Spitsbergen Current in Fram Strait – is the main driver of the recent major increase in basal melt rates. …”

Spatial Inequality and Accessibility of Senior High School Education in Bonebolango Regency by Aljunaid Bakari, Firman Sidik

“…The results of this study show that the availability of high school facilities in Bonebolango Regency has not met the needs of the upper school-age community, because it has not been able to accommodate 80% of the high school age population in each sub-district. The occupancy rate is also uneven, with four high schools having an occupancy rate above 80% of the temporary capacity and 11 high schools having an occupancy rate of less than 50% of their capacity Based on the analysis of the nearest neighbors, the distribution pattern of high schools in Bonebolango Regency is relatively random, with a value of 0.975337 and a z-score of -0.030915. …”
