Parametric Comparison of Rectangular and Circular Pontoons Performance as Floating Breakwater Numerically

Floating pontoons create novel habitats for subtidal epibiota.

Urban structures in the form of pontoons and pilings represent major coastal habitats for marine organisms and understanding the factors causing abundances of organisms to differ between these and natural habitat has been neglected in the study of coastal ecology. It has been proposed that composition of substrata explain differences previously described between subtidal assemblages of epibiota...

Investigating the effect of using a Lateral duct in the body of a floating breakwater by numerical method

Floating breakwaters are good alternative to the so-called fixed base breakwaters, which, in addition to having the main purpose of protecting the beach from waves, also maintain the water connection between the sea and the protected area. Researchers in order to increase the efficiency and increase the performance range of floating breakwaters, have done many researches on their effective para...

Comparison between Rectangular and Circular Patch Antennas Array

Numerically robust computation of circular visibility

We address the question if a point inside a domain bounded by a simple closed arc spline is circularly visible from a specified arc from the boundary. We provide a simple and numerically stable linear time algorithm that solves this problem. In particular, we present an easy to check criterion that implies that a point is not visible from a specified boundary arc.

a comparison of teachers and supervisors, with respect to teacher efficacy and reflection

supervisors play an undeniable role in training teachers, before starting their professional experience by preparing them, at the initial years of their teaching by checking their work within the proper framework, and later on during their teaching by assessing their progress. but surprisingly, exploring their attributes, professional demands, and qualifications has remained a neglected theme i...
