Rendezvous in Space: Tech Diplomacy and the Commercial Space Era—A Study of Rendezvous and Docking Technologies and Space Exploration Co‐Operation Since the Cold War

Global Policy, Volume 17, Issue S4, Page S56-S67, August 2026.
ABSTRACT On‐orbit rendezvous and docking constitute one of the most technically challenging activities in the history of space activities. As space endeavours mature to crewed missions, space rendezous and docking technologies (RDT) emerge as an area of technological innovation critical to advances in future crewed space exploration.

A Study of Free Surface Agitation in a Shipyard Using Numerical Modeling

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
In recent years, the Port of Topolobampo, Sinaloa, Mexico, has experienced unusual free sea surface elevations, particularly during the months of November and December, affecting the shipyard areas, service docks, and berthing locations.

Accessibility and Serviceability Assessment to Inform Offshore Wind Energy Development and Operations off the US East Coast

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The economic success of offshore wind energy projects relies on accurate projections of the construction and operations and maintenance (O&M) costs. These projections must consider the logistical complexities introduced by adverse met‐ocean conditions that can prohibit access to the offshore assets for sustained periods of time.

Drought and Freezing Compromise Woody‐Plant Functioning in High Mountain Ecosystems Under Mediterranean Climate: The Case of Bencomia exstipulata

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Bencomia exstipulata is a broad‐leaved evergreen shrub endemic to the high‐altitude harsh landscapes of the Canary Islands. Whether the extremely reduced distribution of its wild specimens (at around 2000 m a.s.l. in the National Parks of ‘El Teide’ and ‘Caldera de Taburiente’) responds to specific microclimatic needs remains undetermined ...

Fiber type specific tibialis anterior muscle atrophy and oxidative capacity reduction is contemporaneous with death of larger lumbar motor neurons in old rats

Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 14, July 2026.
Abstract Age‐associated muscle weakness and atrophy of limb muscles, termed sarcopenia, is a major factor in the morbidity of the elderly. It is becoming increasingly recognized that a substantial contribution to the sarcopenic phenotype arises from motor neuron (MN) death in old age and subsequent muscle denervation.

Proposal of Correction Factors of Berthing Energy Based on Compression Performance Tests with Velocity and Angle as Independent Variables

Korea Society of Coastal Disaster Prevention
This study aims to develop correction factors that reflect the dynamic berthing environment of actual vessels, thereby enhancing the accuracy of berthing energy estimation and the selection of rubber fenders in port facilities. Conventional fender performance evaluations rely primarily on standardized vertical compression tests under controlled ...

Energy–Time Co-Optimization for Autonomous Ship Berthing in Complex Ocean Currents Using an Improved hp-Pseudospectral Optimal Method

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Berthing path planning for ships in the presence of ocean currents is a challenging task. Several relevant methods have been proposed, but they all assume a constant surge velocity for the whole path.
