The installation and operation phases are critical stages in the lifecycle of offshore wind turbines, with costs associated with the installation and maintenance of floating wind turbines accounting for approximately 50% of the total investment. This paper presents the latest advancements in the technologies for the installation and maintenance of floating wind turbines. First, it discusses the installation techniques and rele...

With the increased scale and deployment of floating wind turbines in deep sea environments, jack-up installation vessels are unable to conduct maintenance operations due to limitations in water depth. This has led to the recognition of the advantages of floating cranes in offshore maintenance activities. However, the dynamic coupling between the crane and the floating wind turbine under wave and wind action can result in compl...

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is prevalent in the aging society. Despite body weight reduction, the prevalence of NAFLD has been increasing with aging for unknown reasons. Here, we investigate the association of DNA methylation age acceleration, a hallmark of aging, with risk of NAFLD. Genome-wide DNA methylation profiles were measured in 95 participants who developed type 2 diabetes during 4-year follow-up, and 35...
