A plate-wave energy converter (pWEC) moored in front of a floating stationary breakwater is considered. The pWEC composed submerged flexible plate with piezoelectric layers bonded to both faces it. Hence the elastic motion excited by water waves can be transformed into useful electricity due effect. To evaluate performance breakwater-attached terms wave power absorption and attenuation, hydroel...

Breakwaters are the important and the costly ones of the marine structures. Composite breakwater is one of the common types in the world. Because of the sensitivity of composite breakwaters to environmental conditions, also construction costs, difficulty of repair and maintenance and importance of equipments on and behind the breakwater, design of composite breakwater must be very accurate. Goa...

The effect of a detached breakwater, which was constructed to improve harbor tranquility inside Pohang New Port, examined through the comparison wave data measured before and after construction breakwater. observation showed that energy effectively reduced by although height outside breakwater higher its construction. in all wave-propagating directions, but it also observed became less effectiv...

Rechargeable magnesium (Mg) batteries are promising beyond Li-ion technologies due to their high volumetric capacity (3832 mAh cm −3 ) and natural abundance. Nonetheless, Mg metal anode is incompatible with most conventional electrolytes which leads the formation of an ionically passivating layer. also suffers from growth dendrites similar Li, causes failure cells. In this study, we electrochem...

Surface layer as the outer protective coverage of bacteria and archaea are two-dimensional crystalline and symmetrical arrays of proteins that recently attract a lot of attention for biologist scientists. The surface layers of bacteria are usually 5 to 10 nm in diameter and represent highly porous protein lattices with uniform size and morphology with the pore sizes of 2 to 8 nm. The crucial an...
