EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION ON WAVE AND BED PROFILE EVOLUTION IN A SANDBAR-LAGOON COAST WITH SUBMERGED VEGETATION

Experimental Investigation on Wave and Bed Profile Evolution in a Sandbar-Lagoon Coast with Submerged Vegetation

Better understanding of the hydro- and morphodynamic processes within vegetated sandbar-lagoon coasts is important for assessing the coastal protection capability of vegetation meadow for the coastal environments.Eighteen flume tests were conducted in a mobile-bed sandbar-lagoon with mimicked submerged vegetation under different water depths and wa

In the footsteps of sea stars: deciphering the catalogue of proteins involved in underwater temporary adhesion

Sea stars adhere strongly but temporarily to underwater substrata via the secretion of a blend of proteins, forming an adhesive footprint that they leave on the surface after detachment.Their tube feet enclose Personal Care a duo-gland adhesive system comprising two types of adhesive cells, contributing different layers of the footprint and de-adhe
