Influence of foreshore steepness on wave velocity and acceleration at the breakwater interface [PDF]

, 2006
In order to investigate which parameters, other than the parameters included in the wave energy density spectrum could play a role in the increase in damage for a steep foreshore, an experiment was conducted.

When Digitalization Meets Sustainability: A Bibliometric and Systematic Literature Review of Its Impact on Firm Performance

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research on digitalization, sustainability, and firm performance has grown rapidly in recent years, yet the literature remains fragmented across disciplines, concepts, and empirical settings. This study addresses the fragmentation by providing a combined bibliometric and systematic literature review (B‐SLR) of research at the intersection of ...

A study of breakwater gap wave diffraction using close range photogrammetry and finite and infinite elements. [PDF]

, 1984
In this thesis the diffraction of water waves passing through a gap in a breakwater is investigated experimentally, using close range photogrammetry, and numerically, using finite and infinite elements.

Numerical analysis to consider effect of zigzag floating breakwater geometry on its performance

Applied Ocean Research
In this paper, a new concept of the floating breakwater with zigzag geometry on the seaside of the floating breakwater body was studied numerically. The hydrodynamic analysis of the zigzag floating breakwater has been investigated using the boundary ...

Storage treatment and diluent cause inconsistencies in commonly used fluorometric microplate enzyme assays conducted with saltmarsh soils

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Fluorometric enzyme assays are a tool for determining potential enzyme activity in soils. A wide array of methodological approaches is adopted by different studies, making comparisons difficult. An important consideration is whether assay conditions replicate the environment of the samples or optimize potential enzyme activity.

Armour layer stability on a bermed slope breakwater [PDF]

, 2008
In coastal regions where the land is sensitive to erosion, but also for harbours and ports, numerous types of defensive structures have been developed to protect it from the effects of incident waves. More recently breakwaters have been constructed which

Numerical simulation study of wave dissipation performance of step‐type breakwaters

Engineering Reports
To improve the force endurance capacity of plate breakwaters, a step‐type plate breakwater was proposed. The performance of the step‐type breakwater was investigated by numerical simulation method. First, a two‐dimensional numerical regular wave tank was

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.
