Design considerations for a hybrid wind-wave platform under energy-maximising control [PDF]
, 2023 The environmental impact of emissions of fossil fuels and their rising prices, together with countries' commitment to mitigate the effect of the alarming and rapid climate changes, have been a crucial thrust to investigate new solutions to have an energy

On the Explicit Function of Life within a Physical Universe
Philosophies, 2021 To describe the meaning of functionality in a universe before life evolved, existing etiological and systemic accounts of function are evaluated. Since the theory of function is only applicable in context with living beings and artifacts used by living ...

Coupled Wave Energy Converter and Nearshore Wave Propagation Models for Coastal Impact Assessments
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 Future nearshore wave energy converter (WEC) arrays will influence coastal wave and sediment dynamics, yet there are limited numerical methodologies to quantify their possible impacts.

Coastal Engineering 1988, 1988 The wave setup for a given wave spectrum was re-evaluated with the radiation stress term including the low-frequency terms. This setup which is referred to here as "dynamic wave setup", was compared with the steady setup, which is generated by including only the non-periodic radiation stress terms.

Dynamical axions and gravitational waves [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 Abstract In this paper we explore the possibility of observable gravitational waves as a manifestation of the QCD axion dynamics. In particular, we focus on dynamical axion models which solve the strong CP problem, and include the confinement of a QCD-like gauge group at the TeV scale.

Dynamics and Transformation of Sea Surface Gravity Waves at the Shelf of Decreasing Depth
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 This paper reviews the results of the processing of synchronized data on hydrosphere pressure variations and the Earth’s crust deformation in the microseismic range (5–15 s), obtained over the course of numerous experiments, using a coastal laser ...

IET Irish Signals and Systems Conference (ISSC 2006), 2006 This paper examines the challenges of efficiently harnessing wave energy. A variety of energy conversion device types is reviewed and a generic heaving buoy device selected for detailed examination. A number of modelling and control challenges are detailed and a hierarchical control structure is indicated.

Spiral Wave Dynamics in Neocortex [PDF]
Neuron, 2010 Although spiral waves are ubiquitous features of nature and have been observed in many biological systems, their existence and potential function in mammalian cerebral cortex remain uncertain. Using voltage-sensitive dye imaging, we found that spiral waves occur frequently in the neocortex in vivo, both during pharmacologically induced oscillations and
