Scour‐Conditioned Seismic Fragility Analysis of Monopile‐Supported Offshore Wind Turbines

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Monopile‐supported offshore wind turbines (MS‐OWTs) are increasingly deployed in seismic coastal regions, where they face compound risks from earthquake loading and seabed scour. While past studies have addressed these hazards separately, seismic fragility under evolving scour conditions remains insufficiently understood. This study introduces

Interplay Between Green Investment and Market Price Premia in Global Shipping

open access: yesInternational Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Existing research emphasises that the driver of green investment is its future profitability. This paper shows that other investors' decisions also influence green investment. We take the example of scrubber installation in shipping, which is optional by regulation but has an established market for trading its underlying asset.

Obstetrics and gynecology devices designed for low‐ and middle‐income countries: A narrative review

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 169, Issue 1, Page 71-80, April 2025.
Abstract There are many barriers contributing to poor health outcomes for women in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs), one of which is the lack of necessary medical devices. Presently, the development of various kinds of devices intended to improve women's health outcomes specifically in LMICs remains underrepresented in the literature; therefore,

Functional Stability Despite Taxonomic Changes in Mixed‐Species Foraging Flock Participants Along an Elevational Gradient in Knuckles Montane Reserve, Sri Lanka 斯里兰卡纳克斯山地保护区 (Knuckles Montane Reserve) 海拔梯度上混合物种觅食群参与者的功能稳定性与分类变化

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, EarlyView.
This research reveals the functional stability of mixed species foraging flocks (MSF) and their foraging height change with different taxonomic differences along the elevational gradient at Knuckles Montane Reserve, Sri Lanka. This offers new insights into how MSFs sustain with the elevational gradients supporting the altitudinal shifting species ...

Effect of semi-circular baffle blocks on local scour downstream clear-overfall weirs

open access: yesAin Shams Engineering Journal, 2013
Local scour downstream hydraulic structures may result in damage or complete structural failure and loss of life and property. In this paper, an experimental study was conducted to predict the scour geometry downstream a Fayoum type weir and to minimize ...

Local scour at abutments: A review

open access: yesSadhana, 2004
Failure of bridges due to local scour has motivated many investigators to explore the causes of scouring and to predict the maximum scour depth at abutments. In this paper, a detailed review of the up-to-date work on scour at abutments is presented including all possible aspects, such as flow field, scouring process, parameters affecting scour depth ...

A Retrospective Analysis Into the Effect of Punch Grafts in Patients With Chronic Ulcers of the Lower Leg

open access: yesJEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Punch grafting was retrospectively evaluated in patients with chronic lower leg ulcers treated at Erasmus MC between 2018 and 2023. Median pain scores significantly decreased after 6 weeks. Opioid use declined and 30% of patients no longer required analgesics. Complete wound closure was achieved in 7% of cases.

Sacrificial piles as a countermeasure against local scour around underwater pipelines

open access: yesWater Science and Engineering
Local scour around pipelines crossing rivers or in marine environments is a significant concern. It can lead to failure of the pipelines resulting in environmental side effects and economic losses.
