ABSORBED POWER DENSITY APPROACH FOR OPTIMAL DESIGN OF HEAVING POINT ABSORBER WAVE ENERGY CONVERTER: A CASE STUDY OF DURBAN SEA CHARACTERISTICS

Absorbed power density approach for optimal design of heaving point absorber wave energy converter: A case study of Durban sea characteristics

This work proposes an approach for the Mirrors optimal sizing of a cylindrical heaving wave energy converter (WEC).The approach is based on maximising the absorbed power density (APD) of the buoy, with the diameter being the decision variable.Furthermore, two types of buoy shapes were compared to get the best option.The two buoy shapes are the cone

Why is interoperability between the two fields of chemical crystallography and protein crystallography so difficult?

The interoperability of chemical and biological crystallographic data is a key challenge to research and its application to pharmaceutical design.Research attempting to combine data from the two disciplines, small-molecule Gaskets or chemical crystallography (CX) and macromolecular crystallography (MX), will face unique challenges including variati

Wastewater treatment efficacy evaluated with in vitro bioassays

Bioassays show promise as a complementary approach to chemical analysis to assess the efficacy of wastewater treatment processes as they can detect the mixture effects of all bioactive chemicals in Gaskets a sample.We investigated the treatment efficacy of ten Australian wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) covering 42% of the national population ov
