A State-of-the-Art Review on Storm Events, Overtopping and Morphological Changes in Front of Coastal Structures by Frederico Romão, Márcia Lima, Carlos Coelho

“…Morphological changes in front of structures during storms can influence their functionality, affecting their stability and leading to failures, impacting the population that are depending on those coastal interventions for their protection. The effect of climate changes, such as sea level rise and increase of the frequency and intensity of storms, can raise the number of overtopping events over defense structures, also increasing coastal morphological changes, challenging future managers, engineers and the scientific coastal communities. …”

Design and Analysis of thermosyphon Solar Water Heating System. by Kakuru, Stephen

“…In rural areas of Uganda, access to affordable hot water is a persistent challenge with communities often relying on firewood and charcoal for water heating which contributes to deforestation, air pollution, and health hazards hence respiratory diseases like asthma, lung cancer, TB, and allergic disease, climate changes and global warming. This research aimed at the design and analysis of a thermosyphon solar water heater that heats water using solar energy which is healthy, environmentally friendly, cost-effective, easily maintained, and simple since it depends on natural convection and gravity force for water flow. …”
