Water from Hurricane Sandy rose almost 7 feet above normal, threatening the water intake structure that pumps cooling water through the plant.
The thing that provides structure in open-water ecosystems is the food-web, which is hard to observe and malleable.
The innovation is in the engineering of a racking system and floating structure that can accommodate water rising and falling.
Before work can be done, authorities must inspect the river's piers to ensure that they can hold the temporary bridge and must remove the remainder of the collapsed structure out of the water.
Consent forms for film and TV tend to follow a water-tight structure that is standard across the industry.
Work will be carried out to realign the masonry to ensure no water enters the structure and damages it.
And in Michigan, Midland County Sheriff Scott Stephenson said a "major" rupture emerged in the Kawkawlin Dam, a 12-foot breach sending water through the structure.
Over a two-year experiment, we saw that there was a change in the soil structure as a result of a wetting and drying of the soil in clay-rich soils, and that can increase the amount of structure and hence storage of water.
To put up such a structure, working largely under sand-filled water, costs three to five times what it would on land for perhaps 50 years of life.
Yeang's designs use walls of plants, scallop-shaped sunshades, solar panels, advanced ventilation and the structure and of the building itself to collect water and catch cooling air currents.
Two other vehicles went into the water about 25 feet below as the structure crumbled.
It was already known that six is the minimum number of water molecules needed to form a three-dimensional structure.
Bulkhead: structure that retains or prevents the sliding of land or protects land from water damage.
Lasers vary in type, but one major brand, Waterlase, works by heating water molecules in the tooth, which then expand and dislodge decayed tooth structure, according to manufacturer Biolase Inc.
Methane hydrates are frozen water molecules that trap methane gas molecules in a crystalline, lattice-like structure known as a hydrate.
The limestone used to build the 3rd century structure is being eroded by the elements and suffers particularly from frost-thaw - when water enters the stone then freezes and melts.
Once these polymers come into contact with water in or on the body, they self assemble into a new polymer structure that is designed to target bacteria membranes based on electrostatic interaction and break through their cell membranes and walls.
This wooden structure sits conveniently on a slightly elevated area of the garden, giving a superior vantage point of the water lily and carp-filled pond it overlooks.
After the state rejected the construction of another hard structure, park officials, working with environmentalists, came up with a Plan B: Move gas, water and sewer lines out of the risk zone.
Instead, differences in composition between warm-water and cold-water ion channels were the result of a phenomenon called RNA editing, in which special enzymes alter the structure of the RNA messenger, and thus of the final protein.
