碩士 / 國立臺灣大學 / 工程科學及海洋工程學研究所 / 103 / The use of aluminum alloy for ship structures has weight efficiency and good corrosion resistance. Nevertheless, the heat affected zone (HAZ) of aluminum alloy will reduced the material strength noticeably, the fracture toughness and fatigue life of aluminum alloy are much lower than steel. This paper investigated the structural response of a 1,700 tons aluminum alloy trimaran in ocean waves. For the spectral response analysis, we considered that the frequency...

碩士 / 國立臺灣海洋大學 / 系統工程暨造船學系 / 104 / A trimaran has been a focus in development nowaday, because of its superior advantages that it offers, such as high speed and relatively stable. A trimaran consists of a central-hull and two hulls aside, with a cross deck connecting all of them. However, a trimaran’s structural complexities increase the difficulty of wave load calculation. The structural hull of trimaran must be a light weight design in order to achieve high speed performance and lower fuel con...

碩士 / 國立臺灣海洋大學 / 系統工程暨造船學系 / 105 / In studies of general ship collisions, the added mass is obtained by using the empirical formula. However, the added mass coefficient varies depending on differences in the ship’s speeds and sea conditions. In this paper, a three-dimensional panel method was used to obtain the added mass coefficients of a ship at different speeds. The results of added mass calculation will be evenly distributed with respect to mass element on the underwater hull structure. A non...

碩士 / 國防大學理工學院 / 造船及海洋工程碩士班 / 99 / In this work, metamodeling techniques have been used to study a high-speed trimaran model of a scale of 1:100 that was experimented in a circulating water channel. The parametric analysis was investigated to obtain a robust design of minimizing the drag of the ship model. There are three control factors, that is, transverse span, longitudinal position and draft, and one noise factor－ship speed, which were used to conduct the parameter design in this work. An int...

碩士 / 國立臺灣海洋大學 / 系統工程暨造船學系 / 103 / In a seaway, a trimaran with a super slender central-hull and slim side hulls offers considerable advantages over a monohull. The roll motions of trimaran in beam seas will be smoother because of the longer roll period, and possible comparable to a monohull. In order to investigate the dynamic behavior of trimaran hull forms advancing in waves.. In order to highlight its high-speed performance, the structural weights must be accurately calculated.

At the commencement of this thesis I saw myself standing at the outer limits of my knowledge with my nose pressed against a wall of demarcation. This wall was built from my willingness to tolerate systems of control in silence and from my unwillingness to make my beliefs and personal convictions known.

And for the first time use my art practice as a mouthp...

The study examines sedimentation changes on the flood tide delta in the Breede River estuary since 1942, and relates these changes in sedimentation to changes in the hydrology of the river, as a consequence of damming the river and its tributaries. Sequential aerial photography is used to determine changes in the extent of the Zostera beds on the flood delta, this being indicative of changes in the substrate sediments. Four cores were taken from the flood delta, and standard grainsize analysis t...

The latest round of multilateral trade negotiations at the WTO, the Doha Round, is deadlocked, and it is unlikely that any further significant rule-making progress will be made there. The system's faltering has resulted in an unprecedented move towards preferential trade agreements between WTO Members as alternative negotiating platforms. The result is an ever-expanding divergence of the global trading system, which gives rise to added complexity and wider discrimination than would follow from a...

While the diurnal, semidiurnal and terdiurnal tides in the mesosphere / lower thermosphere (MLT) have been observed from the ground and from satellites, the quarterdiurnal tide (QDT), with a period of 6 hours, has been investigated on a few occasions only. Therefore, meteor radar observations of horizontal winds in the MLT near 90 km at Collm (51°N, 13°E) and Obninsk (55°N, 37°E) have been used to analyse the seasonal variability of the QDT at middle latitudes. At both sites the zonal amplitudes...

A brown tide bloom of the pelagophyte Aureoumbra lagunensis caused significant impacts to north Indian River Lagoon (IRL) in 2012-2013, including seagrass die-offs, fish kills, and reduced growth and grazing of ecologically important bivalves. There is potential for another pelagophyte, Aureococcus anophagefferens, to expand into this system. Filtration rates (FR) of the pleated tunicate Styela plicata exposed to Aureoumbra lagunensis and Aureococcus anophagefferens were measured against exposur...

Millions of people around the world live in poverty. For decades, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) attempted to address this issue, spurring an intense debate about the proper role of business in society. Recently, the idea of CSR has extended to the business of private firms in developing countries, which is also highly contested by academics, development workers, international organizations, business managers, and professionals from the public sector. This paper seeks to analyze the exten...

During the period 1970-76, Siletz Spit on the mid-Oregon coast has suffered foredune erosion. This erosion is associated with high wave conditions along the coast, produced by intense storms in the North Pacific. During the winter of 1972-73 and during January through March 1976 the erosion was particularly severe. The pre-1975 erosion of the spit has been documented in a previous study. One of the main purposes of the present study is to document the 1976 erosion and to contrast it with the ear...

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited / Numerical wave refraction programs permit a detailed study of the transformation of wave energy as waves move from deep water to shallow water. By eliminating the subjectivity that is present with hand drawn diagrams the effect of small variations in the initial assumptions and wave conditions can be investigated. The effects of wave refraction of tide level changes and bottom friction are investigated here. It is demonstrated that a un...

Most antibiotics, including the drugs currently used for treating tuberculosis (TB), were first discovered as molecules that inhibit bacterial growth in laboratory culture conditions and later translated to infection models and clinical use. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) has evolved specifically to survive in its human host, and it is in this infectious context that new drugs need to work. The host environment is characterized by a multitude of antimicrobial defenses induced by the immune sys...

Houston's Fifth Ward neighborhood is one of the last remaining areas of the inner city to have not yet seen large-scale redevelopment. Situated just northeast of downtown, the neighborhood's population is predominantly low- to mid-income African Americans; demographics are similar today as they were during the neighborhood's prime, from the 1920s-60s, when the Fifth Ward was a cultural hub of Houston famous for its musical culture of zydeco and blues. The ward's rich history also has dark spots,...

Atmospheric solar tides play an important role in the vertical transport of energy and momentum from the troposphere to the middle and upper atmosphere. They are primarily excited by the absorption of solar heating in the troposphere and stratosphere. The periods of solar tides are according to the harmonics of the diurnal solar radiation variations. While the diurnal and semidiurnal tides are relatively well investigated, the terdiurnal tide has gained less attention to date, especially with re...

cGMP-dependent protein kinases (PKG) are key players in intracellular second messenger signaling within many cellular systems throughout the body. Most notably PKG is known for its role in smooth muscle relaxation (Pfeiffer et.al, 1999). The Iα PKG isozyme has been identified as the primary effector of the nitric oxide pathway (and serves to be a novel drug target). To date the overall knowledge of structure and function of PKG is lacking in terms of the mechanisms of activation and the structur...
