Experimental Study on the Effect of the Rack Structure on the Hydrodynamic Characteristics of Truss-type Leg

Shiyou jixie, 2019
The rack and pinion system is the most commonly used lifting system for jack-up offshore platforms. There are relatively few studies on the influence of rack structure on the hydrodynamic characteristics of truss-type legs.

Unique Population or Unique Species? Genetic Insights Into the Pygmy Freshwater Crocodiles of Northern Australia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
There is debate over whether isolated populations of “pygmy” Australian freshwater crocodiles are a unique species. This is a conservation concern as these populations face unique challenges. We found some population differences which support these populations as being ecologically unique and valuable for targeted conservation.

Synthetic Seismic Data Generation for Deep Learning Segmentation of Clinoforms: Integrating Process‐Based Forward Stratigraphic Modelling and Ray‐Based Seismic Modelling

Basin Research, Volume 38, Issue 4, July–August 2026.
This study aims to develop a deep learning model for automated clinoform segmentation. The trained model achieved high segmentation performance on a synthetic testing dataset and successfully generalised to real seismic profiles. The proposed approach demonstrates the effectiveness of using forward stratigraphic modelling and point spread function for ...

Experimental study on piling and penetration behavior of jack-up offshore platforms on layered seabed foundations

Brodogradnja
This study aims to design a novel experimental system for replicating the bearing capacity behavior of layered seabed foundations during the process of leg piling and penetration. A test apparatus for a jack-up offshore platform was developed, with a telescopic pile foundation hydraulic cylinder mounted at the base of platform leg to achieve ...

Fifty Years of Shore Platform Erosion Monitoring at Kaikōura Peninsula, South Island, Aotearoa‐New Zealand

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 7, July 2026.
Fifty years of micro‐erosion metre monitoring at Kaikōura show that the 2016 earthquake more than doubled shore platform erosion rates, transforming intertidal shore platforms into rapidly degrading supratidal marine terraces and reorganising the process and lithological controls that govern rock coast evolution.

Full Dollarisation and Economic Performance Revisited

International Journal of Finance &Economics, Volume 31, Issue 3, Page 3869-3886, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the economic performance of fully dollarised economies compared to those with alternative monetary regimes. Using an extensive dataset covering 192 countries from 1980 to 2021, we employ a variety of econometric techniques, including joint maximum likelihood and propensity score matching, to address endogeneity and ...
