Implantation failure is the most frequent cause of pregnancy loss in couples who try to conceive, either in a natural way or using assisted reproductive techniques (ART). Identify the precise mechanisms of implantation failure can lead to identify couples at risk and also providing appropriate therapeutic options to affected couples. Despite the high prevalence of this disorder, a few causing f...

In the multifunctional system consisting of point absorber wave energy converters and a pontoon breakwater, breakwater plays an essential role in attenuating waves on lee side amplifying for better harvesting stoss side. The structure is expectedly improved to enhance its attenuation amplification at same time. Here we present novel parabolic arc show that range typical regular incident waves, ...

This research is conducted to examine the transmission wave and energy dissipation of a box culvert-type slotted breakwater, which designed as breakwater structure with watertight wall at top culvert type hole bottom. The process involves physical modeling this in laboratory. parameters are varied determine performance. results show that coefficient (KT) value reduced relative height (hL/d) dec...

The clarification on the collapse mechanism of a caisson breakwater has been an urgent task in order to reduce damages caused by next millennium tsunamis. In this study, piping destruction of a mound induced by seepage flow is taken into consideration solely. A stabilized ISPH method proposed by Asai (2012) is adopted with some modification associated with the extended Darcy law (Akbari 2013, 2...

A recent development of a parabolic equation method for wave propagation in a non-orthogonal coordinate system is reviewed. A transformation of the full governing equation prior to development of any approximation leads to a model whose results stand in closer agreement to laboratory data for a case of waves propagating into a breakwater harbor. The effect of amplitude dispersion on predicted w...

A semi-empirical model for surf zone wave height decay is adapted to the parabolic equation method in order to include the effect of depth-limited wave breaking in combined refraction/diffraction calculations. Several examples for plane beaches are presented in order to show correspondence between the empirical model, its numerical formulation, and previous laboratory data. The model is then ap...

Combining multiple-types of Wave Energy Converters (WECs) and integrating them into in-development or pre-existing marine platforms can reduce the total Levelised Cost (LCoE) by sharing infrastructures maintenance costs. The current study proposes an innovative multi-purpose solution deploying Oscillating Buoy (OB) device inside chamber Water Column (OWC) WEC integrated a π-type floating breakw...
