SEAGRASS AND OYSTER REEF RESTORATION IN LIVING SHORELINES: EFFECTS OF HABITAT CONFIGURATION ON INVERTEBRATE COMMUNITY ASSEMBLY

Seagrass and Oyster Reef Restoration in Living Shorelines: Effects of Habitat Configuration on Invertebrate Community Assembly

Restoration projects provide a valuable opportunity to experimentally establish foundational habitats in different combinations to test relative effects on community assembly.We evaluated the development of macroinvertebrate communities in response to planting of eelgrass (Zostera marina) and construction of reefs intended to support the 9x11 pergo

On short cracks that depart from elastoplastic notch tips

The behavior of short cracks that depart from elastoplastic notch tips is modeled to estimate the stresses required to initiate and to propagate cracks in notched structural components, and to evaluate the size of tolerable crack-like defects under general loading conditions.This analysis can model both fatigue and environmentally assisted cracking

NANOFLUID NATURAL CONVECTION IN A BAFFLED SQUARE CAVITY

In this article the natural convection of nano-fluid water - copper in a square cavity has been studied numerically.The left wall is maintained at high temperature ,right wall is maintained at low 05rb shades eq temperature and the other walls are adiabatic.The numerical model is based on the SIMPLE algorithm is used to solve the equations of conti
