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

Operating Capacity, Pricing and Supply Elasticity in Container Shipping Markets
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,

Influence of scour depth and flow velocity field on large-diameter pier group pile foundations
Sea-crossing bridges face critical challenges due to scour, which can destabilize foundations. This study investigates the scour characteristics of the large-diameter main pier of the Haiwen Bridge, with a pile diameter of 4.3 meters. Seabed changes were

Estimation of Scour Depth at Bridge Piers by Using FASTER Model and Experimental Formulas [PDF]
Bridges are one of the most important river structures. One of the main causes of bridge failure is local scour at bridge piers. Yearly, Many bridges failed around the world because of disregarding hydraulic factors.

Interplay Between Green Investment and Market Price Premia in Global Shipping
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.

Local scour downstream stilling basins is so complex that it makes it difficult to establish a general empirical model to provide accurate estimation for scour depth. Lack estimation of local scour can endanger to stability of hydraulic structure and can

Monopile response to scour and scour protection
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 ...

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