Impact of drafts on the damage survivability of cruise ships [PDF]

Ocean Engineering, 2019
The prevailing probabilistic damage stability concept, as outlined within SOLAS 2009 for passenger ships, calculates the Attained Subdivision Index based upon three loading conditions which combine to form a theoretical draft range for a given vessel. To each of these loading conditions a weighting factor is then applied to account for the probability ...

Template‐Assisted Growth of CsxFA1‐xPbI3 with Pulsed Laser Deposition for Single Junction Perovskite Solar Cells

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Template‐assisted pulsed laser deposition (PLD) enables the growth of phase‐pure α‐CsxFA1‐xPbI3 perovskite films. Stoichiometric transfer and uniform coverage on planar and textured substrates is demonstrated, delivering reproducible single‐junction perovskite solar cells.

The effects of extreme weather on rural transportation infrastructure and crop prices along the Lower Mississippi River

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract Extreme weather events are worsening the fragile rural infrastructure in the United States, impacting trade flows of agricultural products. The Mississippi River, vital for transporting agricultural commodities, reached historic lows during the 2022 and 2023 fall harvests, increasing transportation costs and lowering crop prices.

Damage survivability of cruise ships – Evidence and conjecture [PDF]

Ocean Engineering, 2016
This paper delves into damage stability legislation as it applies to passenger ships. The Concordia accident, like many others before it, has shaken the maritime profession once again with many questions being asked without being able to provide credible answers. Old ships have been designed to lower standards (it is common knowledge that new ships are

Ship stability & safety in damage condition through operational measures [PDF]

, 2015
Guaranteeing a sufficient level of safety from the point of view of stability is typically considered to be a matter of design. However, it is impossible to ensure safety only by design measures, and operational measures can then represent a ...
