The combination of extreme heat waves and ozone pollution is a major health hazard for urban populations in the summertime, particularly for the most sensitive groups such as children, the elderly, the unsheltered, and those with pre-existing health cond...

The inversion of gas hydrate saturation is a critical procedure in the evaluation of hydrate reservoirs. In this paper, a theoretical model for a borehole acoustic wavefield excited by multipole sources is established for the first time. On this basis, t...

In order to simulate or control the coupled heave?pitch motion of ships in waves as realistically as possible, an appropriate mathematical model must be established in advance. In this paper, a nonparametric identification method, based on a combination ...

Without affecting the integrity or stability of the heritage monuments, vibration-based techniques provide useful solutions for acquiring global information about them. By studying the dynamic response to suitable excitation sources, it is feasible to de...

A new type of tension leg platform (TLP) connected to a series of buoys (Serbuoys-TLP) has been proven to effectively suppress the surge response of the platform during wave conditions. However, in the complex marine environment, it is more relevant to s...

Globally, coastal regions are vital areas of human activity and, as such, are centers of population growth and urban and economic development. Long-term human development has had a major impact on the ecological environment of coastal zones. Therefore, e...

The power take-off (PTO) of a wave energy converter (WEC) converts mechanical power extracted from the waves into electrical power. Increasing PTO performance under several operational conditions is therefore essential to reduce the levelized cost of ene...

The sound stimulus received by the pinna is transmitted to the oval window of the inner ear via the outer ear and middle ear. Assuming that the perilymph in the scala vestibuli and scala tympani is compressible, we report that the sound wave generated in...

Myrtos Beach (Cephalonia Island, Ionian Sea, Greece) represents a pocket beach with strong touristic, economic and natural interest. In this research, the morphodynamic behavior of the coastal area (e.g., hydrodynamic and sedimentary state, morphology, o...
