Mating-driven variability in olfactory local interneuron wiring.
Variations in neuronal connectivity occur widely in nervous systems from invertebrates to mammals. Yet, it is unclear how neuronal variability originates, to what extent and at what time scales it exists, and what functional...

Asset Liquidity and Indivisibility
We study asset liquidity in a search-theoretic framework where divisible assets can facilitate exchange for an indivisible consumption good. The distinctive characteristics of our theory are that the asset dividend can be either...

An Integrated System Planning and Process Control System for Marine Wastewater Management
An ideal combination of both system planning and process control can greatly reduce system cost and maximize economic and environmental benefits associated with marine oily wastewater treatment. If appropriate process control is...
Multi-body dynamic analysis of float-over installations
The paper investigates the interaction effects due to diffraction by a large volume substructure and an installation barge, during the operation of setting the deck onto the substructure. Linear theory is adopted. The barge...

Responses of interconnected floating bodies
This article describes an investigation of the wave induced responses of constrained multiple bodies. The hydrodynamic analysis is based on linear diffraction theory, and the constraints in the connections between the bodies are...

An Agent-based Simulation-optimization Coupling Approach for Device Allocation and Operation Control in Response to Offshore Oil Spills
The efficiency of offshore oil spill response not only relies on an efficaciously global decision/planning in devices combination and allocation, but also depends on the timely control for response devices (e.g., skimmers and...
Removing irregular frequencies by a partial discontinuous higher order boundary element method
The phenomenon of irregular frequencies is a puzzle in the course of calculating the interaction of waves and structures by the boundary element method. To remove the irregular frequencies, the modified integral domain method is...

Wave-assisted propulsion
A submerged hydrofoil interacting with incoming waves produces combined heaving and pitching motion, facilitating the conversion of wave energy into thrust. When the foil is attached to the ship hull, the generated “green” power...

Equilibrium using credit or money with indivisible goods
This note studies the trade of indivisible goods using credit or money in a frictional market. We show how indivisibility matters for monetary equilibrium under different assumptions about price determination. Bargaining...

Numerical study of roll motion of a 2-D floating structure in viscous flow
In the present study, an open source CFD tool, OpenFOAM has been extended and applied to investigate roll motion of a 2-D rectangular barge induced by nonlinear regular waves in viscous flow. Comparisons among the present...

First- and second-order analysis of resonant waves between adjacent barges
Water wave diffraction by two parallel closely spaced rectangular barges is investigated, to characterise the general problem of LNG offloading from a floating plant into a shuttle tanker. It is well known that large...

Hydrodynamic performance of a floating breakwater as an oscillating-buoy type wave energy converter
Combined floating breakwater and wave energy converter systems have the potential to provide a cost-effective solution to offshore power supply and coastal protection. This will make wave energy economically competitive and...
