Dynamic damage to the seepage characteristics of the near-well zone during natural gas hydrate exploitation is a key factor limiting production stability. There is still a lack of systematic understanding of the microscopic mechanisms underlying fine-particle migration and blockage in the near-well zone. In this study, a long sand-packed column was segmentally packed with clayey-silt sediments from the South China Sea and quar...

The molting of crustaceans is accompanied by exoskeleton reconstruction. To reveal the molecular regulation mechanism of exoskeleton remodeling, the transcriptomic profiles of the exoskeleton across the entire molting process in the red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii were investigated by RNA sequencing, yielding a total of 7671 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) across five different molting stages. Notably, the key DEG...

As an innovative foundation type specifically developed for seabed conditions characterized by shallow overburden overlying bedrock, driven embedded rock-socketed jacket offshore wind turbines achieve high bearing capacity by embedding the pile tips into the bedrock. However, the mechanical behavior of this foundation system has not yet been fully clarified. In this study, based on the engineering conditions of an offshore win...

The wave spectrum, as a key statistical feature describing wave energy distribution, is crucial for understanding wave propagation mechanisms and supporting ocean engineering applications. This study, based on ERA5 reanalysis spectrum data, proposes a model combining CNN and xLSTM for rapid gridded wave spectrum prediction over the Bohai and Yellow Seas domain. It uses 2D gridded spectrum data rather than a spectrum at specifi...

Accurate observation of nearshore waves is crucial for coastal safety. In this study, the feasibility of extracting wave information from wave video images captured by shore-based cameras using deep learning methods was explored, focusing on inverting nearshore significant wave height (SWH) from instantaneous wave video images. The accuracy of deep learning models in classifying wind wave and swell wave images was investigated...
