Do changes in current flow as a result of arrays of tidal turbines have an effect on benthic communities?
(
Public Library of Science
, 2016 , Article)
Arrays of tidal energy converters have the potential to provide clean renewable energy for future generations. Benthic communities may, however, be affected by changes in current speeds resulting from arrays of tidal ...
Evaluating the growth performance of eleven Salicornia bigelovii populations under full strength seawater irrigation using multivariate analyses
(
Southern Cross Publishing and Printing Pty Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Halophytes constitute an indispensable part of seawater farming systems implemented in coastal areas of desert lands where they do not compete with good quality land and water resources. Salicornia bigelovii is considered ...
Structural and electrochemical properties of electrodeposited Ni-P nanocomposite coatings containing mixed ceramic oxide particles
(
Electrochemical Science Group
, 2016 , Article)
Mixed oxide ceramic particles were incorporated into Ni-P matrix to synthesize Ni-P-TiO2-CeO2 nanocomposite coatings. In the present study, the effect of concentration of mixed oxide ceramic particles (TiO2 and CeO2) on ...
