Empowering Children in Coping With Their Parents' Separation: The Views of Young Adults Looking Back on Their Childhood Experiences

Child &Family Social Work, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Parental separation is a process that impacts children's lives before parents decide to separate, during the physical separation and in the adjustment that follows, which may continue for many years. This study draws on the retrospective accounts of 30 young adults (aged 18–30) who experienced parental separation in childhood, to identify what

Mechanobiology in Stem Cell‐Based Bioprinting

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Mechanobiology in stem cell‐based bioprinting is an emerging field that bridges the mechanical conditions of the bioprinting process with the regulation of stem cell behaviour for engineering living tissues. Stresses encountered during bioprinting, together with the mechanical properties of bioinks, play a critical role in regulating stem cell ...

Effect of triangle plate positioning on mooring line tension of single point mooring system

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science
Abstract The marine transportation of crude oil from tankers to final terminals is facilitated using pipelines and oil terminals. The predominant form of the terminal is the Single Point Mooring system. The system is crucial as it anchors tankers and transfers crude oil from the ship to the system using floating hoses.

Dyadic expectations of cooperation and support in the transition to parenthood

Family Relations, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The purpose was to examine dyadic (in)congruent expectations of first‐time expectant parents regarding future coparental cooperation, caregiving responsibilities, and partner support, and explore how gendered assumptions and structural factors (e.g., parental leave) shape these expectations.

Post‐Release Mortality of European Bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) Discarded From Small‐Scale Estuarine Fishing

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Estuaries provide essential habitats for many fish species, but their confined and accessible nature may increase fish vulnerability to capture, and few empirical studies have quantified the value of restricting net fisheries in such areas.

Comparative Analysis of Design Standards for Floating Offshore Wind Turbine Mooring Systems: A Focus on Line Tension Safety Factors

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
The present study aims to conduct a comprehensive comparative analysis of international standards (DNV, ABS, BV, etc.) that regulate the design of mooring systems for floating offshore wind turbines. The comparative analysis focuses on the safety factors

Comparison of Neural Network Error Measures for Simulation of Slender Marine Structures [PDF]

, 2014
Training of an artificial neural network (ANN) adjusts the internal weights of the network in order to minimize a predefined error measure. This error measure is given by an error function.

Courting Confidence in Probation: Unpacking Organisational Legitimacy Within the Criminal Justice System

The Howard Journal of Crime and Justice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this article, we address the hitherto neglected question of how sentencers and other professional actors in the criminal courts think about the legitimacy of probation services. We deploy a framework from the organisational studies literature, which suggests three dimensions of legitimacy that organisations seek from their stakeholders ...
