In recent decades, freak waves, characterized by their unusual high amplitude, sharp crest, and concentrated energy, have attracted researchers’ attention due to potential threat marine structures. Green-water loads caused waves can be significant may lead local damage the ship Therefore, this paper focuses on study of green-water examines structural responses bow structures under influence wav...

1. The ship Edith Moore, commanded by Captain Pierce, took in, on the 30th May, three thousand five hundred gallons of water,, from the Widow and Orphan Filtering Company. Messrs. Nicoll & Fleming, the Agents of the vessel, were good enough to show me the mate's voucher for the water thus obtained, and the Company's receipt for the money which had been paid for it. 2. The Shipping Master, Capta...

PURPOSE To get knowledge of the work environment for seafarers sailing under the Swedish flag, in terms of safety climate, ergonomical, chemical and psychosocial exposures, and the seafarers self-rated health and work ability. METHODS A Web-based questionnaire was sent to all seafarers with a personal e-mail address in the Swedish Maritime Registry (N = 5608). Comparisons were made mainly wit...

Abstract We have constructed a gigapixel resolution display that offers a full 360 horizontal field-of-view. This system, called the Reality Deck, is the world’s most expansive large-format display and it is the largest resolution display ever built. It utiliz...

Delamination is probably the most serious form of deterioration I which is commonly found in britlge decks. It ultimately results in large scale spalling necessitating costly repairs. This type of failure is believed to be caused chiefly from salt induced corrosion of the reinforcing steel. An instrument designed to detect delamination, and tests conducted to val:iAate its perf'ormance, are .br...

Traditional design of ship structures relies on a combination of experience, sound judgment, and deterministic approaches and typically ignores the potential for design improvement and other benefits offered through the use of reliability methods and structural optimization strategies. Part I of this article outlines the underlying theories involved in incorporating reliability methods and stru...

SHIP and SHIP-2 are inositol phosphatases that regulate FcγR-mediated phagocytosis through catalytic as well as non-catalytic mechanisms. In this study we have used two-dimensional fluorescence difference gel electrophoresis (DIGE) analysis to identify downstream signaling proteins that uniquely associate with SHIP or SHIP-2 upon FcγR clustering in human monocytes. We identified LyGDI as a bind...

Ship is an Src homology 2 domain containing inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase which has been implicated as an important signaling molecule in hematopoietic cells. In B cells, Ship becomes associated with Fcgamma receptor IIB (FcgammaRIIB), a low affinity receptor for the Fc portion of immunoglobulin (Ig)G, and is rapidly tyrosine phosphorylated upon B cell antigen receptor (BCR)-FcgammaRIIB ...
