The primary objective of this paper is to investigate the dynamic stability and survivability of a four-column classic TLP (tension-leg platform) under less-than-extreme storm conditions where one or more tendons have been lost due to damage or disconnect.The transient responses of the platform and tendon tensions at the moment of disconnection are
The paradigm of the rubber hand accessories illusion was applied to a shadow to determine whether the body-shadow is a good candidate for the alternative belonging to our body.Three kinds of shadows, a physical hand, a hand-shaped cloth, and a rectangle cloth, were tested for this purpose.The questionnaire results showed that both anatomical simila
Agriculture dependent economies commonly produce low-value products relative to industrialized economies.Converting agricultural waste into electricity will increase the value of engaging such activities.However, climate change also contributes immensely to the shifts in seasons thereby effecting agricultural yield and biomass production.This study
A novel method for determination of mass attenuation coefficient of x-rays employing NaI (Tl) detector Gloves system and radioactive sources is described.in this paper.A rigid geometry arrangement and gating of the spectrometer at FWHM position and selection of absorber foils are all done following detailed investigation, to minimize the effect of
Bioinspired self-shaping is an approach used to transform flat materials into unusual three-dimensional (3D) shapes by tailoring the internal architecture of the flat material.Bioinspiration and bioinspired materials have a high potential SPEED ORANGE for fostering sustainable development, yet are often fashioned out of expensive and synthetic mate
