Multi-module floating system has attracted much attention in recent years as ocean space utilization becomes more demanding. This type of structural system has potential applications in the design and construction of floating piers, floating airports and Mobile Offshore Bases (MOBs) generally consists of multiple modules with narrow gaps in which hydrodynamic interactions play a non-neglected role. This study considers a numer...

Several outbreaks of duck hepatitis A virus type 1 (DHAV-1), which were characterized by yellow coloration and hemorrhage in pancreatic tissues, have occurred in China. The causative agent is called pancreatitis-associated DHAV-1. The mechanisms involved in pancreatitis-associated DHAV-1 infection are still unclear. Transcriptome analysis of duck pancreas infected with classical-type DHAV-1 and pancreatitis-associated DHAV-1 w...

This study intends to enhance a paddy's flood detention effect by adjusting the outlet mechanism to mitigate flooding. Since the paddy's detention effect is an additional function, this study focuses on figuring out a suitable design by comprehensively considering the inundation duration for rice, least peak discharge for flood detention and applicability for various ridge heights. This study establishes a water balance model...
