(1993, Journal of Oceanography, 49(2), 131~147, 149~172). For frequencies smaller than the peak frequency, the directional function is obtained by comparing and analyzing existing formulas. The nondimensional wind-wave frequency spectrum of Wen et al. (1994, Progress in Natural Seience, 4(4). 407~427;4 (5), 586~596) has been used together with the directional function just mentioned to obtain the directional spectrum for easier application.展开更多

The wind-wave interaction source term in WAVEWATCH Ⅲ has been modified to examine its behavior with tropical cyclone wind forcing. Using high resolution wind input,numerical experiments under idealized wind field and tropical cyclone Bonnie(1998) were designed to evaluate performance of the modified models. Both experiments indicate that the modified models with reduced CD significantly decrease wind energy input into the wave model and then simulate lower significant wave height(SWH) than the original model. However,the effects on spatial distribution of SWH,mean wavelength,mean wave direction,and directional wave spectra are insignificant. Due to the reduced wind energy input,the idealized experiment shows that the modified models simulate lower SWH than the original model in all four quadrants. The decrease in the front quadrants is significantly larger than that in the rear quadrants;it is larger under higher winds than lower winds. The realistic experiment on tropical cyclone Bonnie shows that the modified model with the various downward trends of CD in high winds creates a simulation that agrees best with scanning radar altimeter observations.展开更多

The main features of spectrum growth as specified by these parameters agree with those of the JONS-WAP experiments. For given wind speed and fetch, the high frequency parts beyond the peaks of shallow water spectra almost coincide with that of the corresponding deep water spectrum, whereas the low frequency parts differ appreciably. The method developed in this paper predicts smaller significant wave height as well as smaller wave period for shallow water spectra in contrast to the theoretical result of Kitaigorodskii ef al, in which the peak frequency, and consequently the significant wave period, remains basically unchanged for different water depths. Spectra are further reduced to a form in which only significant wave height and period are left as parameters, the peakness factor being replaced by the wave steepness through an empirical relation between them. Spectra in this form have been verified by observations.展开更多

The spectrum S(ω) (ω being angular frequency) when normalized with the zeroth moment m0 and peak frequency ω0, contains in addition to the peakness factor P= ω0S(ω0)/m0, a depth parameter ω= (2πm0)1/2/d (d being water depth), so the spectrum behavior can be studied for different wave growth stages and water depths.展开更多
The spectrum derived in Part 1 of the presert paper is here systematically verified with field data andcompared at some length with that obtained by multiplying the deep-water spectrum with theKitaigorodskii factor.

A marked characteristics of the measured spetra is the existence of secondary spectrum-peak. The dependence of spectral peak-frequency, peak-value and zeroth-order moment on wind speed and fetch are presented and found roughly similar to those in the field represented by the JONSWAP spectrum, regardless of the differences in coefficient. The spectral slope beta at high-frequencies are found somewhat greater than those of field wind-waves in both cases of deep and shallow waters. Except for the low-frequency part, the spectral forms measured in different wind conditions are similar and fit for the JONSWAP spectrum with gamma = 6 and beta = 5.5. Some relevant problems are discussed.展开更多

The domain of maritime and shipping is characterized by a vast array of document types, filled with complex, large-scale, and often chaotic knowledge and relationships. Effectively managing these documents is crucial for developing a Large Language Model (LLM) in the maritime domain, enabling practitioners to access and leverage valuable information. A Knowledge Graph (KG) offers a state-of-the-art solution for enhancing knowledge retrieval, providing more accurate responses and enabling context-aware reasoning. This paper presents a framework for utilizing maritime and shipping documents to construct a knowledge graph using GraphRAG, a hybrid tool combining graph-based retrieval and generation capabilities. The extraction of entities and relationships from these documents and the KG construction process are detailed. Furthermore, the KG is integrated with an LLM to develop a Q&A system, demonstrating that the system significantly improves answer accuracy compared to traditional LLMs. Additionally, the KG construction process is up to 50% faster than conventional LLM-based approaches, underscoring the efficiency of our method. This study provides a promising approach to digital intelligence in shipping, advancing knowledge accessibility and decision-making.展开更多

文摘The spectrum variance m0, peak frequency ω0 and peakness factor p are expressed in terms of nondimensional fetch and duration by making use of relations which are derived through comparing and analyzing existing empirical formulas for the growth of significant wave height and period. The main features of spectrum growth as specified by these parameters agree with those of the JONS-WAP experiments. For given wind speed and fetch, the high frequency parts beyond the peaks of shallow water spectra almost coincide with that of the corresponding deep water spectrum, whereas the low frequency parts differ appreciably. The method developed in this paper predicts smaller significant wave height as well as smaller wave period for shallow water spectra in contrast to the theoretical result of Kitaigorodskii ef al, in which the peak frequency, and consequently the significant wave period, remains basically unchanged for different water depths. Spectra are further reduced to a form in which only significant wave height and period are left as parameters, the peakness factor being replaced by the wave steepness through an empirical relation between them. Spectra in this form have been verified by observations.

文摘Most wind turbine blades are assembled piece-by-piece onto the hub of a monopile-type offshore wind turbine using jack-up crane vessels.Despite the stable foundation of the lifting cranes,the mating process exhibits substantial relative responses amidst blade root and hub.These relative motions are combined effects of wave-induced monopile motions and wind-induced blade root motions,which can cause impact loads at the blade root’s guide pin in the course of alignment procedure.Environmental parameters including the wind-wave misalignments play an important role for the safety of the installation tasks and govern the impact scenarios.The present study investigates the effects of wind-wave misalignments on the blade root mating process on a monopile-type offshore wind turbine.The dynamic responses including the impact velocities between root and hub in selected wind-wave misalignment conditions are investigated using multibody simulations.Furthermore,based on a finite element study,different impact-induced failure modes at the blade root for sideways and head-on impact scenarios,developed due to wind-wave misalignment conditions,are investigated.Finally,based on extreme value analyses of critical responses,safe domain for the mating task under different wind-wave misalignments is compared.The results show that although misaligned wind-wave conditions develop substantial relative motions between root and hub,aligned wind-wave conditions induce largest impact velocities and develop critical failure modes at a relatively low threshold velocity of impact.

文摘Spectral characteristics of wind-generated waves in labortaory are presented on the basis of a systematic measurement in a large-scale wind-wave channel and compared with those in the field. A marked characteristics of the measured spetra is the existence of secondary spectrum-peak. The dependence of spectral peak-frequency, peak-value and zeroth-order moment on wind speed and fetch are presented and found roughly similar to those in the field represented by the JONSWAP spectrum, regardless of the differences in coefficient. The spectral slope beta at high-frequencies are found somewhat greater than those of field wind-waves in both cases of deep and shallow waters. Except for the low-frequency part, the spectral forms measured in different wind conditions are similar and fit for the JONSWAP spectrum with gamma = 6 and beta = 5.5. Some relevant problems are discussed.

The domain of maritime and shipping is characterized by a vast array of document types, filled with complex, large-scale, and often chaotic knowledge and relationships.

文摘The relationship between ecosystem services(ES)and human well-being(HWB)is fundamental to the science and practice of sustainability.However,studies have shown conflicting results,which has been attributed to the influences of indicators,contexts,and scales.Yet,another potential factor,which has been overlooked,may be the mixed use of spatial and temporal approaches.Using twelve ES and seven well-being indicators and multiple statistical methods,we quantified and compared the spatial and temporal ES–HWB relationships for Inner Mongolia,China.The spatial and temporal relationships differed in both correlation direction and strength.Most relationships of economic and employment-related indicators with food provisioning and supporting services were temporally positive but spatially nonsignificant or negative.Some relationships of economic and employmentrelated indicators with water retention,sandstorm prevention,and wind erosion were temporally negative but spatially complex.However,the spatial and temporal ES–HWB relationships could also be similar in some cases.We conclude that although both the spatial and temporal approaches have merits,space generally cannot substitute for time in the study of ES–HWB relationship.Our study helps reconcile the seemingly conflicting findings in the literature,and suggests that future studies should explicitly distinguish between the spatial and temporal ES–HWB relationships.

文摘Soybean is widely used in diets,and numerous reports have highlighted its antioxidant properties.However,constructing a methodology for rapid identifying and predicting a series of antioxidant active ingredients in Soybean presents certain challenges.Therefore,we introduced the spectrum-effect relationship-ingredient knockout identification technique to identify a series of antioxidant active ingredients in soybean.By combining untargeted metabolomics with network pharmacology,we predicted the antioxidant active ingredients and their target sites.We successfully identified 4 antioxidant active compounds(daidzein,genistein,daidzein,and glycitin)and 10 corresponding antioxidant targets(epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR),estrogen receptor 1(ESR1),steroid receptor coactivator(SRC),tumor necrosis factor(TNF),kinase insert domain receptor(KDR),AKT serine/threonine kinase 1(AKT1),growth factor receptor bound protein 2(GRB2),signal transducer and activator of transcription1(STAT1),mitogen-activated protein kinase 8(MAPK8),B-cell lymphoma-2(BCL2))by our analysis.The validation results from cell experiments revealed that glycitin exhibited the best antioxidant activity and significantly influenced the expression of EGFR and the proteins associated with nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2/NAD(P)H quinone dehydrogenase 1(NRF2/NQO1)signaling pathways.These findings were consistent with the predicted outcomes and were further confirmed in a zebrafish model.It suggests that glycitin may exert antioxidant effects by regulating the expression of EGFR,NRF2,and NQO1 proteins.The results demonstrate that a rapid analytical method for determining antioxidant activity was established.
文摘BACKGROUND Hyperglycemia secondary to diabetes can lead to organ failure unless properly controlled,and it is associated with numerous health issues,particularly metabolic problems.Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies in females worldwide and represents a major health concern due to its morbidity and mortality.The progression of the disease and the response to treatment depend on numerous variables,including both tumor biology and patient-related factors.Key prognostic indicators include age,tumor size,lymph node involvement,histological type,hormone receptor status,and expression of biomarkers such as HER2.AIM To investigate the relationship between preoperative blood glucose levels and cancer prognostic factors in patients diagnosed with breast cancer.METHODS In this study patients diagnosed with breast cancer were classified into two groups:Those with blood glucose levels<125 mg/dL and those with levels>125 mg/dL.Estrogen and progesterone receptor positivity,Ki-67 percentage,Cerb2 positivity,number of positive lymph nodes,and presence of lymphovascular invasion were examined histopathologically.RESULTS The study included 246 patients with breast cancer:196 were in the normal glucose group and 50 were in the elevated glucose group.In the normal glucose group,68%of the tumors were left-sided and 32%were right-sided,while all tumors in the elevated glucose group were left-sided.This difference was statistically significant(P<0.001).Tumor size,Ki-67,and the number of positive lymph nodes were not associated with blood glucose in patients with breast cancer(P>0.05 for all).However,blood glucose was correlated with age in this population.Correlation analyses revealed that blood glucose was positively correlated with age(r=0.23,P<0.001).Additionally,Ki-67 was correlated with tumor size(r=0.14,P=0.03)and age(r=-0.18,P=0.005).CONCLUSION Our study highlighted the complex interplay between metabolic factors,such as fasting glucose levels,and breast cancer characteristics.Elevated glucose levels were associated with older age.The significant association between tumor laterality and glucose levels underscores the need for further investigation into the collective influence of metabolic and anatomical factors on breast cancer development and progression.

文摘This paper explored how the work hardening process enhances the yield strength(YS)of magnesium alloy and established a novel quantitative relationship between microstructure and YS.The YS of an extruded Mg–Nd–Zn–Zr alloy was nearly tripled by rotary swaging at 200℃,attributing to dislocation accumulation,grain fragmentation,and basal texture formation.A modified Hall–Petch relationship(GM–HP)was established by introducing the equivalent orientation factor and dislocation density to accurately quantify the YS and the contribution of each strengthening mechanism.The contributions of dislocation hardening and grain boundary strengthening were multiplied by the strong basal texture.This paper offered valuable insights and guidance for designing and optimizing high-strength wrought magnesium alloys and their plastic processing methods.
