Comparative Assestment of the Effect of Changing the Breadth (B) of the Ship on the Stability of the Tugboat [PDF]

open access: yesTransNav
This paper reviews the effect of changing the breadth of a tugboat before and after production on ship stability. The numerical simulation method (maxurf stability) is applied. Likewise, another approach uses the Benjamin Spence (integrator) method.

Source Apportionment and distribution of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Imo River Sediments near Afam Power Station, S.E. Nigeria: Molecular index and Multi-Variate Approaches

open access: yesGlobal Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences, 2013
Surface sediments from Imo River near Afam Power Station were analysed for quantitative determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The total PAH concentrations (excluding perylene) were in the range 1.60 – 67.70 ng/g dry weight (dw).The degree of anthropogenic impacts were considered ...

On the grasshopper problem with signed jumps

open access: yes, 2011
The 6th problem of the 50th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), held in Germany, 2009, was the following. Let $a_1,a_2,...,a_n$ be distinct positive integers and let $M$ be a set of $n-1$ positive integers not containing $s=a_1+a_2+...+a_n$.

Gauge theory in dimension $7$

open access: yes, 2009
We first review the notion of a $G_2$-manifold, defined in terms of a principal $G_2$ ("gauge") bundle over a $7$-dimensional manifold, before discussing their relation to supergravity. In a second thread, we focus on associative submanifolds and present
