Oyster reef living shorelines are popular solutions to mitigate coastal hazards while providing ecosystem services, and their hydrodynamic characteristics deserve further examination. This paper reports an experimental numerical study of the behavior a bagged oyster shell (BOS) under regular waves. The dependence pore pressure within coefficients on height, length, porosity, wave parameters investigated. results show that normalized maximum ps_m∗ decreases from seaside BOS its leeside with increasing dimensionless length. With steepness, fluctuates overall trend. at locations increases locations; simultaneously, reflection coefficient Kr dissipation Kd decrease, transmission Kt increases. steepness for given period, tend increase, but exhibits opposite As height length Multivariate nonlinear regression genetic programming-based symbolic methods individually used derive two formulas predicting coefficient, formula latter method being found give higher prediction accuracy.

The presence of potentially toxic pollutants, such as pesticides and metal ions, even at low concentrations, can significantly impact aquatic environmental health. This pollution is a globally widespread problem requires fast reliable analysis, especially for in-situ identification/quantification. Atomic absorption spectrometry plasma-based techniques have been considered the most analytical tools used to monitor ions in media other related matrices. dynamics global climate change its correlation with pollution, from anthropogenic sources, encouraged development faster monitoring these pollutants. A noteworthy alternative determining pollutants using algae-based biosensors, resulting cost reduction simplification enabling more comprehension role humans change. These which may not highest sensitivity quantification, demonstrated remarkable potential identification several field applications. Biosensors be an excellent biotechnology solution changes. Thus, this review highlights main advances developing comparing biosensors possibilities their possible applications analysis.
