SALTWATER INTRUSION IN THE UPPER TAGUS ESTUARY DURING DROUGHTS

Saltwater Intrusion in the Upper Tagus Estuary during Droughts

Droughts reduce freshwater availability and have negative environmental, economic, and social impacts.In estuaries, the dynamics between the saltwater and the freshwater can be affected during droughts, which can impact several natural resources and economic sectors negatively.The Tagus estuary is one of the largest estuaries in Europe and supports

Effect of inner channel geometry on solidification performance of phase change material (PCM) in double-pipe thermal energy storage

AEG DVK6981HB 90cm Angled Chimney Hood – BLACK Advantages such as high energy storage density and low heat losses have made phase change materials (PCMs) preferable in energy storage.However, the very low thermal conductivity of PCMs is the most important obstacle to improving melting and solidification performance of PCMs.To improve the thermal

Differential Protection of Transmission Transformer for Large-Scale Doubly-Fed Wind Farms Based on Detrended Analysis

Since the fault current output from the doubly-fed wind farm has frequency deviation characteristics and contains large harmonic components, when an internal fault occurs in the transmission transformer for the doubly-fed wind farm, the ratio of the second harmonic to the fundamental wave in the differential current of the transformer increases, wh

The boron transporter SiBOR1 functions in cell wall integrity, cellular homeostasis, and panicle development in foxtail millet

Boron (B) is an essential micronutrient for vascular plant growth.Both B deficiency and toxicity can impair tissue development in diverse plant species, but little is known about the effect of B on reproductive panicle development and grain yield.In this study, a mutant of Setaria italica exhibiting necrotic panicle apices was identified and design
