Chapter Spatial displacement of nearshore vegetation in response to artificia…
This study characterizes the zonation of coastal vegetation in six coastal sites in Malta. The vegetation sequence on the coastal zone is predictable and displaces in response to changes in shoreline. The halophyte Limbarda crithmoides was used as an indicator species to ‘locate’ the position of the sequence. The vegetation surveys were used to construct a Gaussian distribution model for th…

Chapter Extraction and characterization methods for microplastics from estuar…
To investigate plastic pollution in rivers, the Tara schooner collected samples from 9 of the main European rivers from May to November 2019. The objectives of the present study are the quantification of the microplastic (MP) contamination and the identification of the chemical nature of microplastics. Thus, extraction methods and automated computer processing for polymer characterization were …

Chapter Spatial Atomic Layer Deposition
In conventional atomic layer deposition (ALD), precursors are exposed sequentially to a substrate through short pulses while kept physically separated by intermediate purge steps. Spatial ALD (SALD) is a variation of ALD in which precursors are continuously supplied in different locations and kept apart by an inert gas region or zone. Film growth is achieved by exposing the substrate to the loc…

Chapter Solid Biomass from Forest Trees to Energy: A Review
Among the different terrestrial ecosystems, forests are the most important biomass carbon producers and the ones that store the most standing biomass carbon. Consequently, they are also the major source of biomass for energy. Forest biomass has been used as a fuel from early times, and from the late twentieth century onward, there has been a renewed interest in its use to produce heat and elect…

Due to the practice-oriented nature of construction engineering education and barriers associated with physical site visits, videos are invaluable means to expose students to practical curricula content. Prior studies have investigated various design principles of multimedia pedagogical tools to enhance student learning and reduce cognitive load. These design principles and computer vision tech…
