Structural and hydraulic response of emerged low-crested cube-armoured breakwaters

Applied Ocean Research
In this study, the structural and hydraulic behavior of statically stable emerged low-crested cube-armoured breakwaters were investigated by performing physical model tests. This research considered cube armour layers with irregular placement in a double

EVICT, NEGLECT, OR INVEST? Community Power and the Politics of Urban Informality Governance in Jakarta

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Why do some informal neighborhoods receive public investment while others are neglected or evicted? This article addresses the inconsistent governmental responses to informal settlements in Jakarta, Indonesia, during the democratic period. State actions range from violent evictions to tolerance and community‐led improvements.

300 Years of Degradation in Wales Estuaries and Coasts

Natural Resources Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The world's oceans are in a severe state of degradation, yet our understanding of that degradation is often based on changes observed only in the past 20–50 years. This narrow view leads to marine conservation efforts that aim to preserve already degraded ecosystems, shaped by shifted ecological baselines.

Literature review on the hydrodynamic performance of floating breakwaters with various mooring systems [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
Floating breakwaters are among the most widely used coastal protection structures due to their flexibility, relatively low cost, and lower environmental impact than conventional rigid breakwaters.

New Treatment Strategy and Future Research Direction for BRAF‐Mutated Cancer

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
Treatment with BRAF inhibitor plus MEK inhibitor is currently used in BRAF‐mutated various malignancies except colorectal cancer, and treatments with BRAF and/or MEK inhibitors and anti‐EGFR antibody are used in BRAF‐mutated colorectal cancer. Despite recent advances in BRAF‐targeted therapies, their efficacy is still limited.

Investigation of structural responses of breakwaters for green water based on fluid-structure interaction analysis

International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, 2012
In the present study, the structural response of breakwaters installed on container carriers against green water impact loads was numerically investigated on the basis of the fluid-structure interaction analysis.

Intact coastal nursery rearing amid climate‐driven phenological shifts in threatened salmon

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Literature linking phenology to climate has proliferated in recent decades and shows that climate change has reorganized seasonal opportunities worldwide. However, this literature often quantifies changes in point measures of timing (e.g., beginnings and peaks) without context about duration (e.g., rearing season length) or performance (e.g ...

Dramatic Enhancement of Macrozoobenthic Species β-Diversity in Response to Artificial Breakwater Construction Along a Tropical Coastline

Diversity
The beneficial or detrimental effects of human-built marine structures (piers, breakwaters, and seawalls) on macrozoobenthic assemblages and diversities are currently underexplored.

DESIGN OF AN OVERTOPPING BREAKWATER

Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1980
The Maritime Services Board of New South Wales, Australia, is constructing a major new port facility on the northern foreshores of Botany Bay. A principal part of this project has been the construction of a large armoured revetment from the northern shores. The entrance to Botany Bay faces southeast and it is from this direction that a large proportion

PERIODIZING GEOLOGICALLY OUTWITH (AND WITHOUT?) THE ANTHROPOCENE: PASTS, AGENCIES, AND THE TERRESTRIAL

History and Theory, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a periodization that is generally understood to refer to an era of Terrestrial relationships that developed with modernization and nuclearization, the Anthropocene cannot be applied simply to premodern histories and texts. However, it has introduced historians to geological periodization as a mode of describing periods of changed ...
