Structural behaviour of fully coupled spar–mooring system under extreme wave loading

Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2014
Floating spar platform has been proven to be an economical and efficient type of offshore oil and gas exploration structure in deep and ultra-deep seas. Associated nonlinearities, coupled action, damping effect and extreme sea environments may modify its

Study on Mooring Design and Hydrodynamic Performance of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines with CFRP Mooring Lines

Buildings
To address the issues of traditional mooring lines, such as high self-weight, low strength, and poor durability, Carbon-Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) was investigated as a material for mooring lines of offshore floating wind turbines, aiming to achieve

Beyond Visual Scoring: Computational CT‐analysis for HRCT based quantification of Interstitial Lung Disease in Inflammatory Rheumatic Disease

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Interstitial lung disease (IRD‐ILD) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with inflammatory rheumatic disorders (IRD). High‐resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is widely considered the gold standard for the non‐invasive assessment of ILD; however, its interpretation is constrained by substantial inter‐observer variability and ...

Effects of Mooring Compliancy on the Mooring Forces, Power Production, and Dynamics of a Floating Wave Activated Body Energy Converter

Energies, 2018
The paper aims at investigating the interactions between a floating wave energy device (WEC) and its mooring system under a variety of wave conditions (regular and irregular, perpendicular and oblique, ordinary and extreme). The analyzed WEC is the DEXA,

Dynamic Analysis of a Tension Leg Platforms (TLPs) Inspired by Parallel Robotic Manipulators

IEEE Access, 2020
Dynamic performance of a tension leg platform (TLP) is analyzed using a robotic manipulator approach. The TLP is vertically anchored to the seabed by twelve mooring lines. A triangular mooring line configuration is studied.

Enhancing Blood Circulation With Epsilon‐Near‐Zero (ENZ) Materials via the Far‐Infrared Window of Human Skin

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Epsilon‐near‐zero (ENZ) silicon carbide enables a selective far‐infrared emitter spectrally aligned with the human skin window around 10 µm for wavelength‐matched thermal therapy. In 25 within‐subject trials (50 hands) monitored by laser speckle contrast imaging, SiC increases blood perfusion by 30.2% versus a broadband graphite emitter while ...

Numerical modelling of floating structure with coupled Eulerian–Lagrangian technique

Građevinar, 2022
Floating structures are complex systems composed of superstructure, floating-mooring components, and anchors. In this study, the behaviours of a pontoon, which is used as a floating structure, and four mooring elements under different wave loading ...

Plant Virus Immunotherapy for HPV‐Associated Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) nanoparticles are safe and potent cancer immunotherapy candidates with strong immunomodulatory activity. CPMV activates innate immunity, which in turn drives adaptive immune responses and promotes durable, systemic antitumor effects.
