The main reason causing general stabilized hall vibration is the main mechanisms functioning, and periodic variation of hydrodynamic pressure force that strains the plating of the ship. This hydrodynamic pressure reaches maximum strain around the propellers zone. General vibration of the hall cause local vibrations of different parts of the ship since general vibrations causes movement of suppo...

Surface waves and their interactions with sediments and benthic organisms are the main hydrodynamic process affecting littoral ecosystems. Here, we present a long-term data set on surface-wave parameters, which was obtained from the analysis of measurements with a pressure sensor. The data set covers a time period of a year and allows for resolving waves with heights down to less than a centime...

[1] Sediment resuspension in lake littoral zones (nearshore region) is strongly related to the properties of the surface wavefield. The occurrence and characteristics of surface waves, near‐bottom current velocities, and related suspended sediment concentrations and properties were measured simultaneously in Lake Constance over 1 year. Wind and ship waves are distinguished on the basis of their...

Loud hydroacoustic sources, such as naval mid-frequency sonars or airguns for marine geophysical prospecting, have been increasingly criticized for their possible negative effects on marine mammals and were implicated in several whale stranding events. Competent authorities now regularly request the implementation of mitigation measures, including the shut-down of acoustic sources when marine m...

Special Economic Zones (SEZs) are areas controlled by specific legislations so as toattain economic prosperity. These zones are commonly established and controlled bygovernment officials and are primarily characterized by growing population and developingtransport infrastructure. One relevant case is the Pars Special Economic Energy Zone(PSEEZ) situated in the south of Iran, on the northern sho...

Three different techniques for reducing exposure to microorganisms were tested during remediation of moldy buildings. Concentrations of spores (fungi and actinomycetes) were determined by filter sampling before, during, and after remediation. The local exhaust method used for asbestos dismantling was the most effective control method. In the construction zone, concentrations of microorganisms w...

ENRESA is the national company in charge of radioactive waste management in Spain. The company was set up in 1984, and one of its missions is the dismantling of nuclear facilities. ENRESA has carried out the dismantling of the Vandellós 1 nuclear power plant, several research installations and a pool type experimental reactor and is currently initiating the dismantling of the José Cabrera nucle...
