Comparing the economic feasibility of offshore floating wind and solar photovoltaic technologies in Central Mediterranean deep waters [PDF]
, 2015 Malta, being a very small and densely populated island in the central Mediterranean, has little space for large scale onshore wind turbine or photovoltaic projects. Maltese territorial waters are mostly too deep for conventional offshore wind farms

Exploring wave propagation behaviors in rock: A grain‐based perspective on mineral structures
Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.This study investigates wave propagation in rock at the grain scale using a grain‐based model, revealing that mineral elastic modulus significantly influences wave attenuation while grain size and distribution have limited effects. A novel peak particle velocity attenuation prediction model is proposed and validated for grain‐scale wave propagation ...
