Seakeeping of semi-swath using fin stabilizer with fuzzy logic controller in following seas
, 2013 Semi-SWATH ship design has a low restoring force at bow that causes a tendency to bow-dive when running in following seas. In some conditions, the foredeck found to be immersed under the rear-wave when the ship running from the wave-crest to the wave ...

ESG Performance and Credit Risk: Evidence From Chinese Manufacturing Companies
International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates the effect of corporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance on credit risk using a sample of manufacturing firms listed on China's Shanghai and Shenzhen A‐share markets from 2009 to 2021. Employing fixed effects, the generalised method of moments, and instrumental variable models, we find that ...
