Optimal Design of Stiffeners for Bucket Foundations [PDF]

, 2015
The potential for structural optimization of the bucket foundation’s outer stiffeners is investigated using commercial optimization software. In order to obtain the optimal design both shape and topology optimization problems are formulated and solved using the structural optimization software Tosca Structure coupled with the finite element software ...

Corporate Human Rights Reporting: A Systematic Literature Review of Determinants and Consequences

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a systematic literature review (SLR) of empirical research on corporate human rights reporting (CHRR), focusing on its determinants and consequences. While expectations for corporate accountability have intensified, research on CHRR remains fragmented across disciplines and contexts.

Combined Seismic and Scoured Numerical Model for Bucket-Supported Offshore Wind Turbines

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Numerous offshore wind turbines (OWTs) with bucket foundations have been installed in seismic regions. Compared to the relative development of monopiles (widely installed), seismic design guidelines for bucket-supported OWTs still need to be developed ...

Vaginal host–microbe signatures linked to placental outcomes in mares

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Ascending placentitis is a leading cause of late‐term pregnancy loss in mares. Although pathogens are presumed to ascend from the caudal reproductive tract, the association between the vaginal microbiome and placentitis has not been systematically examined.

Unveiling Otolith Mystery: Contemporary Testing Approaches and Their Clinical Significance. [PDF]

World J Otorhinolaryngol Head Neck Surg
ABSTRACT Objective Otolith is a critical component of the peripheral vestibular system responsible for detecting linear acceleration. Dysfunction of the otolith organs can lead to vertigo, balance disturbances, and gaze instability. By elucidating the physiological foundations and evaluating both current and emerging methods for assessing otolith ...

Shape of Yield Curves Under Instrument‐Based Parallel Shifts

Journal of Futures Markets, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper studies the shape of zero and par yield curves through the carry and convexity of zero‐bond and par–swap butterflies under instrument‐based parallel shifts: the component instruments are held fixed, and each instrument's own quote receives the same additive shock.
