Marine biofouling is a major problem in many industries. Shipping has been afflicted with reduced vessel speed and hindered maneuverability due to organisms attaching since the dawn of sailing. To date, the primary method developed to prevent fouling is the application of biocide laden coatings with various release mechanisms. Mass...
The pore size distribution of several battery separators were
determined experimentally by mercury penetration method using the
Aminco-Winslow porosimeter. The performances of the separators under
electrolyte penetration were also studied. The results of electrolyte
penetration revealed that the degree of penetration was affected
by the anions of the entrained salts...
The sea as a dynamic conducting medium interacts continually
with the earth' s magnetic field. The physical principles underlying
this interaction are reviewed. These results are applied to the
particular problem of towed electrodes at the sea surface. Data
using this method are then shown to be sensitive to stability...
