Abstract Jean-Marie Durand's recent edition of the correspondence of the merʾûm ( grazing) chiefs, Bannum, Ašmad and Hali-hadun - to whom must be added Zakura-abum, whose letters have been published separately -, preserved in the palace of Mari and dating …

Abstract In the 18th century BC, the creation of an unprecedented territorial state covering the whole of Upper Mesopotamia was a remarkable feat. It can be attributed to a particularly charismatic and energetic man, Samsi-Addu, alias Šamši-Adad I st …

Abstract The decomposition of ocean dynamics into a superposition of waves is based on a linear approximation of the equations of fluid mechanics, which, in particular, neglects convective effects. For small-amplitude motions, these couplings can be …

Abstract Mari, the Bible and I had our earliest conjunction in the mid-60s, long before Biblical scholarship began exploring Achaemenid linkages. In those days, giants ruled the earth, among them Albright, Noth, and de Vaux on the biblical side; Dossin & …

Abstract Inertial and internal waves caused by ocean rotation and stratification are governed by continuous-spectrum propagators, and their couplings—even weak ones—cannot be analyzed using envelope equation techniques. The emergence of energy fluxes in …

Documents and Media Download the support material Abstract We consider the problem of approximating a subset M of a Hilbert space X by a low-dimensional manifold M n . A large class of nonlinear methods can be described by a decoder D : IR n → X whose …

Abstract Resonance phenomena can lead to large-amplitude fluctuations that can no longer be analyzed perturbatively, yet play a fundamental role either because of their impact (extreme events) or because they profoundly alter the nature of the physical …
