Offshore Investment Funds: Monsters in Emerging Markets? [PDF]
The 1997-99 financial crises in the emerging markets have brought to the foreground the concern about offshore investment funds and their possible role in exacerbating volatility in the markets they invest in.

Offshore Hydrogen, Methanol, and Ammonia Production Review
EnergiesFar offshore wind resources are important for reaching the global renewable energy and decarbonization objectives, but great distances to shore and deep waters preclude underwater electricity lines or traditional turbine or platform foundations. At these

Thresholds: The metaphorical foundations of powerful knowledge
The Curriculum Journal, EarlyView.Abstract This paper advances a theoretical account of threshold concepts as metaphorical‐relational structures that reorganise meaning across contexts. Building on conceptual metaphor theory, we propose that threshold concepts can be understood as sites of schema‐level reorganisation: deep, embodied patterns of relational logic that scaffold abstract ...

Exploring wave propagation behaviors in rock: A grain‐based perspective on mineral structures
Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.This study investigates wave propagation in rock at the grain scale using a grain‐based model, revealing that mineral elastic modulus significantly influences wave attenuation while grain size and distribution have limited effects. A novel peak particle velocity attenuation prediction model is proposed and validated for grain‐scale wave propagation ...
