Physical modelling of local scour at twin piles under combined waves and current

Coastal Engineering, 2019
Under the actions of ocean waves and current, severe local scour can be induced around pile groups, significantly compromising the safety of marine structures.

Antioxidant and Cytotoxic Properties of Piper spp. Volatile Oils That Inhibit Pathogenic Microorganisms

Flavour and Fragrance Journal, EarlyView.
The samples were fungicidal against Candida, with MICs ranging from 62.5 to 250 μg/mL, and fungistatic against Penicillium adametzii, Aspergillus flavus and A. niger, with MICs of 1000 μg/mL. The volatile oils of Piper aduncum and Piper marginatum reduced the viability of MDA‐MB231 cells.

A New Method for Mixed Matrix Composite Membranes Preparation Using Direct Spray‐Coating Technique

Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The development of membranes has evolved over the last years as an effective CO2 separation technology to fight the environmental impact of post‐combustion processes. In this regard, the upgrade of conventional polymers has been approached through different strategies to overcome their permeance‐selectivity trade‐off.

Scour Depth Around Cylinders Under Combined Effects of River Flow and Tidal Currents

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
The safety of coastal structures is a growing global concern due to the combined effects of strong tides and river flow. In this study, the local scour around cylinders under the influence of tides combined with river flows was investigated numerically ...

Operating Capacity, Pricing and Supply Elasticity in Container Shipping Markets

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We investigate the channels through which changes in operating capacity influence freight rates in the container shipping market using a novel dataset to create an operating capacity index at the shipping‐route level. Our analysis reveals that when supply elasticity is low, an increase in operating capacity tends to drive freight rates upward,

Monopile response to scour and scour protection

, 2020
Scour of seabed sediments can occur around offshore structures, the resultant reduction in strength and stiffness of the structure’s foundations presents operational challenges for monopile-supported offshore wind turbine structures. Turbines are at risk of reduced operation or even premature decommissioning if scour causes the natural frequency of a ...

Interplay Between Green Investment and Market Price Premia in Global Shipping

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Existing research emphasises that the driver of green investment is its future profitability. This paper shows that other investors' decisions also influence green investment. We take the example of scrubber installation in shipping, which is optional by regulation but has an established market for trading its underlying asset.

Obstetrics and gynecology devices designed for low‐ and middle‐income countries: A narrative review

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 169, Issue 1, Page 71-80, April 2025.
Abstract There are many barriers contributing to poor health outcomes for women in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs), one of which is the lack of necessary medical devices. Presently, the development of various kinds of devices intended to improve women's health outcomes specifically in LMICs remains underrepresented in the literature; therefore,

Numerical Modeling of Vegetation Influence on Tsunami-Induced Scour Mechanisms

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Tsunami-induced scour around coastal embankments and nearshore structures is a primary cause of structural instability and failure. However, the hydrodynamic mechanisms by which coastal vegetation mitigates this scour remain insufficiently understood ...

Human Capital Robotic Integration and Value Creation for Organizations

Journal of Organizational Behavior, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Due to rapid advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning, the research conversation has drifted from viewing robots as replacements for humans (i.e., the substitute view) to a view that considers the possible benefits of human–robot collaboration in the workplace (i.e., the complementary view).
