Highlights

A bi-directional counter-rotating type horizontal axis tidal turbine was proposed.

A series of symmetrical hydrofoils were developed for bi-directional turbines.

Counter-rotating rotors show much higher Cp than single rotor.

Performance enhancement has been achieved by optimization of hydrofoils.

Highlights

-  three to five result-oriented points that provide readers
with an at-a-glance overview of the main findings of your article.
Think of them as a quick snippet of the results—short and sweet.
Each Highlight must be 85 characters or fewer, including spaces,
and the Highlights together must *clearly convey only the results of the study*.
Ideas, concepts and methods are best saved for the abstract or “In Brief” paragraph
(currently in Cell Press journals only).
Don't try to capture every piece of data or conclusion. Let the paper do the talking.

Highlights offer your paper an advantage in the online world.
At a glance, readers can view the results of a manuscript and
quickly identify what they want to read, without having to dig through abstracts. The more eyes scanning your Highlights, the easier it is for readers to discover something they might not have stumbled upon otherwise.
The nitty gritty

Not part of editorial consideration and aren't required until the final files stage
    Only required for full research articles
    Must be provided as a Word document— select "Highlights" from the drop-down list when uploading files
    Each Highlight can be no more than 85 characters, including spaces.
    No jargon, acronyms, or abbreviations; aim for a general audience and use keywords
    Consider the reader—Highlights are the first thing they'll see

Highlights:

Metastases mostly disseminate late from primary breast tumors, keeping most drivers
    Drivers at relapse sample from a wider range of cancer genes than in primary tumors
    Mutations in SWI-SNF complex and inactivated JAK-STAT signaling enriched at relapse
    Mutational processes similar in primary and relapse; radiotherapy can damage genome

Highlights:

Fading of a script alone does not foster domain-general strategy knowledge
    Performance of the strategy declines during the fading of a script
    Monitoring by a peer keeps performance of the strategy up during script fading
    Performance of a strategy after fading fosters domain-general strategy knowledge
    Fading and monitoring by a peer combined foster domain-general strategy knowledge
