Temporal scouring and backfilling processes around a pile group subject to unsteady hydrographs
Pile groups are important hydraulic structures and scouring around them is not only affected by the flow characteristics but also by the number and arrangement of piles in a group.

Mapping the “Supply–Demand–Flow” of Ecosystem Services for Ecosystem Management in China
This study develops a “supply–demand–flow” framework clarifies how ecosystem services move between regions by distinguishing potential and actual supply and demand. Using integrated biophysical–socioeconomic modeling, nine services in China were mapped.

COASTAL STRUCTURES' EFFECTS ON SHORELINES
Coastal structures have caused significant impacts to adjacent shorelines, especially when these shorelines are composed of sand. Many times, these shoreline impacts have not been expected due to improper planning prior to the design and construction of these structures. Consequently, excessive erosion and/or deposition of sediment as a result of these

RELIABILITY-BASED DESIGN OF COASTAL STRUCTURES [PDF]
The objective of this paper is to introduce the application of reliability theory for conceptual design and evaluation of coastal structures. It is without the scope to discuss the validity and quality of the various design formulae available for coastal structures.

Multidrug‐resistant Vibrio infections are rising rapidly and threaten coastal populations worldwide. This study introduces D‐zp37, a chirality‐engineered antimicrobial peptide with exceptional potency against resistant Vibrio species. D‐zp37 kills planktonic cells, blocks mixed‐species biofilms, disrupts essential bacterial stress responses, and shows ...

Concepts of Design of Coastal Structures
Certain design of the existing and proposed coastal structures for lateral loading in the United States is presently based upon the use of timber which is structurally inefficient in the elastic range. Figure 1, for example, indicates the plan of timber pile structure.

AbstractOn March 11, 2011, the largest earthquake ever recorded in Japan struck off the coast of the Tohoku region of the country, and was subsequently named the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake by the Japan Metrological Agency. The Mw 9.0 earthquake generated strong motions that affected the island of Honshu from Tokyo Bay to the ...

High Fracture Toughness of 1D Copper‐Based MOP Electrode Enables Fast‐Charging Lithium‐Ion Batteries
Traditional electrode materials suffer from particle cracking and rapid capacity fade during fast charging, largely originating from their low fracture toughness. This work introduces a one‐dimensional Cu‐based metal–organic polymer, in which strong π‐d conjugation and π–π stacking endow the framework with high fracture toughness, simultaneously ...
