The " oyster-tecture " movement promotes the use of oyster reefs for water purification and wave attenuation.

Boeing recently patented its own force field technology, also known as the shock wave attenuation system, that would protect vehicles from shock waves generated by nearby explosions.
3.
Recent research has been able to better constrain the degree to which subducting oceanic mantle is hydrated using measurements of P-wave attenuation from localized earthquakes near the Wadati Benioff zone.
4.
Plans are currently underway to develop a Marina at Pier 5, including a state-of-the-art floating dock and wave attenuation system that will provide the calmest waters on New York Harbor.

While attending community college, Feustel worked as an auto mechanic at International Autoworks, Ltd ., Farmington Hills, Michigan, restoring 1950s seismic wave attenuation in underground mines and measurement techniques and applications to site characterization.
6.
Estimates suggest an approximately 40 km thick layer of moderately serpentinized mantle would be sufficient to explain the observed seismic P-wave attenuations associated to events occurring at depths of around 5 35 km below the Wadati Benioff zone.

Further upgrades to the eastern section of the channel took place in 2014 after Toronto was awarded the 2015 Pan American Games . 600 meters of the south channel breakwater wall and other water s edge structures were restored to allow required wave attenuation for current IWWF waterski & wakeboard international competition standards.

"' Roadway geometrics "'and surrounding "'terrain "'are interrelated, since the propagation of sound is sensitive to the overall geometry and must consider diffraction ( bending of sound waves around obstacles ), reflection, ground wave attenuation, spreading loss and refraction.
