Floating Breakwater Performance Comparison [PDF]

Coastal Engineering 1980, 1980
Wave-transmission and mooring-force data of the Tethered-Float Breakwater and Pole-Tire Breakwater (PT-Breakwater) were compared, and the basic costs (without mooring system) of two equivalent breakwaters determined. It was found that, for short-fetch applications, the PT-Breakwater was an order of magnitude less costly than the Tethered-Float ...

A Model Coupling CFD and DRL: Investigation on Wave Dissipation by Actively Controlled Flat Plate

IEEE Access, 2022
In order to protect structures along the offshore and off the coast, breakwaters are commonly applied to reduce the influence of waves. Flat plate breakwater is studied frequently due to its great performance near the water surface, however, traditional ...

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 ...

Floating Breakwater Performance

Coastal Engineering 1976, 1976
The Pacific Northwestern United States contains large areas of protected waters with abundant recreational boating opportunities. The area also supports many commercial fishermen who use small boats in their fishing operations . As a result, there is a large demand for sheltered moorage for all these vessels.

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.

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.
