This study addresses issues such as beach erosion, the survival of propagules from species like , and nutrient distribution. To tackle these challenges, we propose an innovative sensor that quantifies hydrodynamic velocity by measuring the output voltage derived from detecting changes in light absorption and scattering using LEDs and LDRs.

These isothiocyanates are the main bioactive molecules exerting protective effect in Brassicales plants. These plants that contain this specific enzyme-substrate couple belong to our daily human diet and have demonstrated health benefits, such as chemopreventive effects.
