Uncertainty Quantification in Mooring Cable Dynamics Using Polynomial Chaos Expansions

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
Mooring systems exhibit high failure rates. This is especially problematic for offshore renewable energy systems, like wave and floating wind, where the mooring system can be an active component and the redundancy in the design must be kept low.

Activity Systems Modelling as a Complex Systemic Approach to Develop Learning Partnerships Between Community Initiatives and Municipal Governments

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The paper explores activity systems modelling (ASM) as a complex systemic approach to fostering learning partnerships between community initiatives and municipal governments. It highlights the increasing role of community‐led initiatives in cocreating public value and the challenges of collaboration due to differing perspectives on governance,

Study on the Motion of a Moored Body and the Tension of Mooring Lines

Journal of the Society of Naval Architects of Japan, 1975
In these years off-shore structures are built with various purposes. It is important problem to study about their mooring system. And this study is also important for ships. In this paper it is aimed to study the tension of mooring lines.Mooring tension was formerly calculated by what is called “catenary theory”, but it is calculated here by “corrected

Economic Policy Uncertainty and Structural Transformation in Africa: The Conditional Role of Human Resource Development

Thunderbird International Business Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The present study has investigated two objectives. First, it examines the unconditional impact of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) on Africa's structural transformation. Second, it explores the conditional role of human resource development in the nexus between economic policy uncertainty (EPU) and structural transformation.

Difference of tension on mooring line by buoy type

Journal of the Korean society of Fisheries Technology, 2014
The difference of mooring tension by type of buoy was investigated in the circulating water channel and the wave tank for deducting the most stable buoy from the current and the wave condition. 5 types of buoy made up of short cylinder laid vertically (CL-V), short cylinder laid horizontally (CL-H), capsule (CS), sphere (SP) and long cylinder (CL-L ...

Technology‐Enabled Cross‐Border Entrepreneurship: The Role of Digital Platforms in SME Expansion Through the Lens of Institutional Theory

Thunderbird International Business Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) face significant institutional barriers when expanding across borders, including regulatory constraints, financial accessibility issues, and market entry challenges. Institutional theory provides a useful framework for understanding how external regulative, normative, and cognitive institutional forces

Micronuclei and Other Nuclear Abnormalities in Patella Limpet as Biomarkers of Cytogenotoxicity in Recreational Port Waters

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over the past decades, the growth in human population and economic activities has led to an increase in maritime traffic. This rise puts additional pressure on marine environments, vessel fuel spills being considered to have a major impact on the ecosystem.

Metabolic engineering of adipose‐derived stem cell exosomes via arachidonic acid potentiates diabetic wound repair by orchestrating angiogenesis: A multi‐omics guided strategy

VIEW, EarlyView.
AA‐Exos promotes angiogenesis and accelerates diabetic wound healing by activating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. Abstract Diabetic wounds are common and challenging complications of diabetes, characterized by delayed healing and an increased risk of infection.
