Centrifuge tests on a soil plug removal method for suction caisson during installation

Applied Ocean Research
The suction caisson is one of the most widely adopted foundation systems for supporting offshore wind turbines and anchoring floating platforms. During suction-assisted installation, the soil inside the caisson may heave and form a soil plug that ...

The impact of tobacco cessation on buccal mucosa cancer risk: A multi‐centre case–control study in India

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 2, Page 368-377, 15 July 2026.
What's new? While the association between tobacco consumption and oral cancer is well established, the effect of cessation, particularly of chewing tobacco, the most common tobacco product in South Asia, is understudied. This case–control study in an Indian population demonstrates that a longer duration of tobacco smoking and chewing cessation is ...

Life Cycle Environmental Impacts and Socio‐Economic Implications of Tidal Electricity Generation and Storage in the UK

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
If tidal electricity generation and storage replaced natural gas and battery storage by 2050, it could reduce the climate change impact of UK grid electricity by 71%, saving up to 4.4 Mt CO2 eq./y. Most other environmental impacts would be reduced by up to 24%. However, high costs and low public acceptability hinder its deployment. ABSTRACT Tidal range

Serviceability of Suction Caisson Founded Offshore Structures

, 2016
Suction caissons have recently been considered as a cost effective alternative to conventional foundations for offshore met-masts and wind turbines. Such foundation arrangements are suitable for applications within water depths of 20-30m.

Geopower, Geos and the Colonisation of Palestine

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 51, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT While the majority of geographical work on colonialism in Palestine centres on territory and land, this article foregrounds geopower and geos in the making of spatial relations. Three arguments are made over three corresponding sections. The first draws on recent writing on geopower and geos (primarily that by Elizabeth Grosz, Elizabeth ...

Caesarean Scar Ectopic Pregnancy in Early Gestation: A Scoping Review of Definitions and Diagnostic Approach

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, Volume 133, Issue 5, Page 888-899, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Caesarean scar ectopic pregnancy (CSEP) is defined by the implantation and development of a gestational sac inside a caesarean scar defect, but variations in classification systems and diagnostic criteria exist. Objectives This study aimed to systematically review the different criteria used in the medical literature to diagnose ...

Water‐Borne Erosion of Reinforced Polymer Composites: Application to Shallow Offshore Marine Environment

Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 5, Page 4102-4126, 10 March 2026.
Comparison of experimental and model‐predicted erosion rates for carbon fibre‐reinforced polymer (CFRP) and glass fibre‐reinforced polymer (GFRP) under low‐velocity (2 m/s) and at varying angles and sand concentrations (0.0, 0.05, 0.4 g/L). The results demonstrate good agreement between experimental data and model predictions across different erosive ...
