Laser technology as we know it was first realized in 1951 when Charles Townes envisaged the concept of microwave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation (MASER) on a park bench in Washington ...

This study applied a new approach to distinguish between breaking waves and nonbreaking waves in the wind-wave time series through the use of wavelet analysis. In this paper, the wavelet power ...
