Zn and frozen 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution were used to simulate galvanized steel structures exposed to the seawater in the Polar Regions. The conductivity of the frozen salt solution and the corrosion of the Zn were characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, galvanic current measurement, and surface analyses. The results indicated that the completely frozen 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution was still conductive and corrosive, and the galvanic effect between different metals could not be ignored. The corrosion damage risk of metallic structures, particularly in the joint regions, can be high under freezing marine conditions in the Polar Regions.
According to characteristics that the vehicles move fast and topology changes quickly in Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs), a novel routing protocol GMGP based on the location is proposed for VANETs. Predicting the changes of the neighboring nodes positions and using greedy forwarding mechanism forward packet, and using a movement perimeter forwarding algorithm to select the next reliable hop node on the basis of direction and velocity of the mobile nodes when the greedy forwarding fails, it improves the reliability of routing. When a more realistic vehicles mobility model is applied to the NS-2 simulation platform, the simulation indicates that the improved routing protocol has better performance than the GPSR routing protocol.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
