NEW INSIGHTS ON USING SCALED MARSH PLANT SURROGATES FOR WAVE ATTENUATION
نویسندگان
چکیده
It has been widely demonstrated in literature that coastal marshes provide positive ecosystem services related to protection, including wave attenuation, storm surge reduction, and erosion prevention (Moller et al., 2014; Wang 2021; Paul Kerpen, 2021). Physical modelling presents a useful tool for investigating the protection function provided by marsh vegetation controlled, repeatable environment, inform design of nature-based strategies, or “nature-based solutions” (NBS). To date, physical studies have used investigate influence plant biophysical parameters (stem width, stem height, flexibility) hydrodynamic conditions on attenuation (e.g., Augustin 2009; Anderson Smith, Moller Ozeren van Veelen 2020). Such predominantly surrogate due logistical challenges facility requirements associated with live experiments. Furthermore, most performed at near full-scale reduce uncertainties scale effects downscaling vegetation, particularly where Reynolds number similarity cannot be preserved (Blackmar 2014). address existing knowledge gaps small-scale, experiments were conducted 63 m long 1.22 wide flume National Research Council Canada’s Ocean, Coastal River Engineering Centre, Ottawa, collaboration University Ottawa Institut de la Recherche Scientifique, Quebec City.

Maca : New Insights on an Ancient Plant
Hudson—Maca As a clinician specializing in women’s health for almost 25 years, I’m always eager to be introduced to new botanicals for the tough health issues I encounter in my practice. I also like to discover new clinical indications for botanicals I’ve been using for years and to seek out new research in women’s health. I feel responsible—and also fortunate—to share this kind of new informat...
متن کاملNew Insights on Plant Cell Elongation: A Role for Acetylcholine
We investigated the effect of auxin and acetylcholine on the expression of the tomato expansin gene LeEXPA2, a specific expansin gene expressed in elongating tomato hypocotyl segments. Since auxin interferes with clathrin-mediated endocytosis, in order to regulate cellular and developmental responses we produced protoplasts from tomato elongating hypocotyls and followed the endocytotic marker, ...
متن کاملAxisymmetric Scaled Boundary Finite Element Formulation for Wave Propagation in Unbounded Layered Media
Wave propagation in unbounded layered media with a new formulation of Axisymmetric Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method (AXI-SBFEM) is derived. Dividing the general three-dimensional unbounded domain into a number of independent two-dimensional ones, the problem could be solved by a significant reduction in required storage and computational time. The equations of the corresponding Axisymmetri...
متن کاملNew approach for attenuation correction in SPECT images, using linear optimization
Background: Photon attenuation as an inevitable physical phenomenon influences on the diagnostic information of SPECT images and results to errors in accuracy of quantitative measurements. This can be corrected via different physical or mathematical approaches. As the correction equation in mathematical approaches is nonlinear, in this study a new method of linearization called ‘Piece ...
متن کاملOn Using Surrogates with Genetic Programming
One way to accelerate evolutionary algorithms with expensive fitness evaluations is to combine them with surrogate models. Surrogate models are efficiently computable approximations of the fitness function, derived by means of statistical or machine learning techniques from samples of fully evaluated solutions. But these models usually require a numerical representation, and therefore cannot be...
