Numerical investigation on the effects of current headings on vortex induced motions of a semi-submersible
In this paper, numerical simulations on vortex-induced motions (VIM) of a semi-submersible at two different current headings are conducted over a wide range of current velocities. The simulations are performed...

Open AccessEffects of fat-to-sugar ratio in excess dietary energy on lipid abnormalities: a 7-month prospective feeding study in adult cynomolgus monkeys
Excess energy intake contributes to metabolic disorders. However, the relationship between excess sugar and fat in their contributions to metabolic abnormalities remains to be further elucidated. Here we condu...
