The importance of beachgoers as a source of beach litter by Nwaigwe, Chukwudi

“…Most litter sampled in the surf zone was smaller than that collected on beaches because the 5 mm-mesh net used to sample in the surf zone collected smaller items than items collected by hand on the beach > 10 mm. …”

Investigating the use of ray tracing for signal-level radar simulation in space monitoring applications: a comparison of radio propagation models by Martin, Mogamat Yaaseen

“…The goal was thus to have the simulator limited only by the end-user's system, and to specialise the operation of the software towards space surveillance by integrating additional features – such as built-in models for environmental and system noise, multiscatter effects, and target modelling using meshes comprised of triangular primitives. After completing the software's development, the ray-traced simulator was compared against a more streamlined version of SOARS that made use of point-model approximations for quick-look simulations, and the trade-offs between both simulators (including software runtime, memory utilisation and simulation accuracy) were investigated and evaluated. …”

Particle image velocimetry studies of an oscillating flow in a thermoacoustic device by Saad, Michael Rezk

“…A glass-quartz acoustic resonator was built with a loudspeaker attached to induce a standing acoustic wave inside the resonator. Meshed ceramic stacks with different porosities and lengths were utilized to study the acoustic behavior. …”
