One hundred and five grape samples were collected during two consecutive years from 33 locations on seven oceanic islands of the Azores Archipelago.Grape HEAD HUGGERS samples were obtained from vineyards that were either abandoned or under regular cultivation involving common viticultural interventions, to evaluate the impact of regular human inter
Numerical simulations are performed within the time domain to investigate the dynamic behaviors of an SPAR-type FOWT under wave group conditions.Towards this goal, the OC3 Hywind SPAR-type FOWT is adopted, and a JONSWAP (Joint North Sea Wave Project)-based wave group is generated by the envelope amplitude approach.The FOWT motion under wave group c
With the recent surge of industrialisation and advancement of technologies, supply chain management has been widely permeated by the practice of reverse logistics and zero-waste circular economy.Literature on these topics has covered several reverse logistics optimisation problems; however, the area of the vehicle routing problem has only been expl
This article outlines the development of a theory of predecessor-successor transitions in social contexts using a grounded theory approach.The theory can be applied to such diverse phenomena as the transfer of family businesses to the next generation, university chair succession, the passing on of parental roles (for example in the case of adoption
Although deep learning techniques have potential in vehicle behavior prediction, it is difficult to integrate traffic rules and environmental information.Moreover, its black-box nature leads to an opaque and difficult-to-interpret prediction process, limiting its acceptance in practical applications.In contrast, ontology reasoning, which can utiliz
