INNOVATIVE BREAKWATERS DESIGN FOR WAVE ENERGY CONVERSION [PDF]
This paper intends contributing to an economically and environmentally sustainable development of coastal infrastructures by investigating the possibility of combining together breakwaters and Wave Energy Converters (WEC). The latter change the wave energy to electricity, which may serve both the rubble mound breakwaters and seawalls related activity ...

Influence of second-order corrections to the energy-dependence of neutrino flavor conversion formulae [PDF]
We discuss the {\em intermediate} wave-packet formalism for analytically quantifying the energy dependence of the two-flavor conversion formula that is usually considered for analyzing neutrino oscillations and adjusting the focusing horn, target ...

Wave energy conversion systems: optimal localization procedure [PDF]
Wave energy is a renewable and pollution-free energy source that has a potential world-wide contribution to the electricity market estimated in the order of 2,000 TWh/year, which represents about 10% of the world’s electricity consumption with an investment cost of EUR 820 billion.
