Shared mooring systems for offshore floating wind farms: A review

Energy Reviews
Offshore wind energy, as a form of renewable power, has seen rapid development in recent years. While fixed-bottom wind turbines are typically used in water depths less than 50 ​m, the utilization of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) becomes ...

Mooring optimization design based on neural network and genetic algorithm

Zhongguo Jianchuan Yanjiu, 2017
[Objectives] In order to maintain the stability of the position of a ship, a mooring system is required to reduce the translational motion of floating structures.[Methods] Taking a pipe-laying vessel in the South China Sea as an example, it is possible ...

Processing Fluency and Predictive Processing: How the Predictive Mind Becomes Aware of its Cognitive Limitations

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Predictive processing is an influential theoretical framework for understanding human and animal cognition. In the context of predictive processing, learning is often reduced to optimizing the parameters of a generative model with a predefined structure. This is known as Bayesian parameter learning.

Straddle carrier routing optimization at container terminals utilizing telemetry‐based prediction

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 429-459, January 2027.
Abstract Efficient vehicle routing and scheduling for horizontal transport means on container terminals can reduce lead times and travel distances, resulting in fuel savings and productivity gains. We apply machine learning to emulate operational processes, bridging the gap between theoretical optimization models and real‐world practices at container ...

Governance of Long‐Term Scientific Infrastructure: Public Value Does Not Protect Itself

Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Long‐term scientific infrastructure, including physical archives, monitoring networks, and place‐based research facilities, is frequently described as important but is rarely protected by enforceable governance. When administrative reorganization or budget pressure threatens such infrastructure, the scientific community typically responds with
