The near-trapping phenomenon, which can lead to high wave elevations and large wave drift forces, is investigated by a floating four-column structure. To solve this wave-structure interaction problem, a numerical model is established by combining the wav...

One of the foremost challenges in designing thin-film silicon solar cells (TFSC) is devising efficient light-trapping schemes due to the short optical path length imposed by the thin absorber thickness. The strategy relies on a combination of a high-perf...

Fungus gnats (Sciaridae) are one of the most devastating pests on mushroom farms. Generally, they are controlled using relatively inefficient physical means, like sticky or pheromone traps, or with chemical pesticides. Here, we have proposed an integrate...
