Dynamics of offshore structures

Unique, cutting-edge material on structural dynamics and natural forces for offshore structures Using the latest advances in theory and practice, Dynamics of Offshore Structures, Second Edition is extensively revised to cover all aspects of the physical forces, structural modeling, and mathematical methods necessary to effectively analyze the dynamic behavior of offshore structures. Both closed-form solutions and the Mathematica(r) software package are used in many of the up-to-date example problems to compute the deterministic and stochastic structural responses for such offshore structures as buoys; moored ships; and fixed-bottom, cable-stayed, and gravity-type platforms. Throughout the book, consideration is given to the many assumptions involved in formulating a structural model and to the natural forces encountered in the offshore environment. These analyses focus on plane motions of elastic structures with linear and nonlinear restraints, as well as motions induced by the forces of currents, winds, earthquakes, and waves, including the latest theories and information on wave mechanics. Topics addressed include multidegree of freedom linear structures, continuous system analysis (including the motion of cables and pipelines), submerged pile design, structural modal damping, fluid-structure-soil interactions, and single degree of freedom structural models that, together with plane wave loading theories, lead to deterministic or time history predictions of structural responses. These analyses are extended to statistical descriptions of both wave loading and structural motion. Dynamics of Offshore Structures, Second Edition is a valuable text for students in civil and mechanical engineering programs and an indispensable resource for structural, geotechnical, and construction engineers working with offshore projects.

As Al becomes increasingly integrated into organizations, its influence on employee adaptability and outcomes is growing more significant. While literature has contributed towards exploring Al's impact from organizational or consumer-centric perspectives, limited research has examined Al's effects on creative service performance. This study investigates the relationship between Al usage and employees' creative service performance, through the mediating mechanism of job crafting and the moderating role of hindrance appraisal towards Al, between job crafting and creative service performance. The research adopts a quantitative approach, targeting marketing professionals in Pakistan's digital marketing industry. A total of 209 responses were analyzed using Hayes PROCESS Macro Model 14. The findings indicated that while Al usage does not directly enhance creative service performance, job crafting positively influences and improves the creative outcomes. While Al is fully integrated into the work processes, hinderance appraisal towards Al significantly weakens the relationship between Job crafting and creative service performance. The study addresses some key research gaps, including the lack of focus on individual-level outcomes, underexplored emotional responses, frontline marketeers' perspective and limites contextual research in developing countries. The findings offer actionable insights for marketern HR professionals, academia and policymakers to develop adaptive work environments that susta creativity, innovation and employee well-being. For Pakistan, where digital transformation underway but institutional support remains limited, this research offers guidance to better prepa its workforce for the evolving nature of creative work. Keywords: Al-usage, creative service performance, hindrance appraisal, job crafting. .

An artificial intelligence approach to VLSI design

Kowalski, Thaddeus J

Includes index. VLSI design synthesis is a method for designing hardware that starts an algorithmic description and uses interactive computer programs to a finished design. This structured approach can decrease the time takes to design a chip, automatically provide multi-level documentation the finished design, and create reliable and testable designs. VLSI synthesis is a difficult problem because the huge number of facts implicit dynamic constraints do not lend themselves to a recipe-like solution. However, the Knowledge Based Expert System, KBES, approach provides a framework for organizing solutions to problems that are currrently solved by experts using large amounts of domain-specific knowledge.

One of the most important components in the software development lifecycle is the software testing phase because for a successful product it is important to ensure that the quality of the product is not compromised, there are many different levels of testing such as unit testing, integration testing, system testing and user acceptance testing but, on every level, the basic component to verify a requirement is to design test cases for the requirement and run them results in either pass or fail. Test cases can either be positive or negative and the test engineer should design both types of test cases carefully to ensure every test scenario for a specific requirement is validated and the functionality is working as it should be. On the other end designing of test cases is a time taking process and it is very crucial to determine when to end testing. Research have been done on generating test cases using Large Language Models (LLMS) to save time but still in our findings there were no research that shows that how much the generated test cases are resulting in terms of completeness and conciseness. This work aims to use the data of expert written test cases for specific requirements and generate new test cases using Large Language Models (LLMS) for the same requirements and comparing them to eventually determine the completeness and conciseness of the test cases. In our work we have identified that for the requirements of e-commerce, in the context of testing and in terms of test cases completeness and test cases conciseness GPT-2 is a better model then LLAMA-2 in generating automated test cases when compared with expert written test cases written by QA-Experts having different level of experience and from different organizations. .

Islam and education : conflict and conformity in Pakistan's madrassahs

Ali, Saleem H.

Islamic educational institutions have come under intense public scrutiny in recent years because of their perceived linkage to militancy. However, much of the research thus far has relied upon anecdotal accounts and investigative journalism. In particular, Pakistani madrassahs (or seminaries), have been the focus of much media coverage. Islam and Education aims to provide an empirically-grounded analysis of madrassahs in Pakistan, thereby informing the larger discussion of the role of Islamic education in conflict causality. Unlike earlier works that have focused primarily on the curriculum of madrassahs, this book provides a comprehensive examination of Islamic education as an integrated social movement. The ultimate aim of Islam and Education is to prevent the escalation of existing regional conflict as well as the perceived conflict between Islam and the West, while providing guidance to policymakers regarding their attempt to reform educational institutions.

Results and Discussion 7. Conclusion 8. References. Recommendation system recently exploited users generated textual reviews into users modelling and recommendation strategies in restaurants business. Yelp data set challenge in their round 9 and own word introduced rich images data which are uploaded by both restaurants and customers. we aimed to incorporate this photo information into the recommendation process. We first applied a transfer learning approach with pre-trained CNNs (Convolution Neural Networks) which are used to label the Yelp's food images of the restaurants using the food 101data set. We define star rating for restaurants by capturing a correlation between restaurants images and users shared images. Our proposed strategy works on discovering hidden aspects of food images and labels to be used n recommendation strategy. We performed an extensive set by creating a baseline using standard rating provided in the data-set. The proposed approach produced better Root Mean Square Error ( RMSE), which is a clear indication of high quality recommendation strategy. .

Summarization of Videos Using Reinforcement Learning

Afzal, Muhammad Sohail

A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master in Computer Science to the department of Computer Science at the National University of Computer & Emerging Sciences. 1. Introduction 2. Literature Review 3. Methodology 4. Conclusion and Future Work. Video surveillance systems are getting ubiquitous with the passage of time. Huge amount of video data is generated through surveillance cameras that needs to be handled efficiently in limited storage and processing power. Video summarization renders the best way to quickly review over lengthy videos along with controlling storage and processing power requirements. Deep reinforcement-deep summarization network (DR-DSN) is a popular method for video summarization but performance of this method is limited and can be enhanced with better representation of video data. Most recently, it has been observed that deep residual networks are quite successful in many computer vision applications including video retrieval and captioning. In this paper, we have investigated deep feature representation for the video summarization using deep residual network where ResNet 152 is being used to extract deep videos features. In order to speed up the model, long short term memory unit is replaced with gated recurrent unit, thus gives us the flexibility to add another RNN layer which resulted in significant improvement in the performance. With this combination of ResNet-152 and two layered gated recurrent unit (GRU), we performed experiments on SumMe video dataset and got results which are not only better than DR-DSN but also better than several state of art video summarization methods.

Fish species selection and growth monitoring for sustainable aquaculture

Ali, Sajid,

A FYP submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science (Computer Science) to the Department of Computer Science at the National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences. Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: Review of Literature Chapter 3: Project Vision Chapter 4: Software Requirements Specifications Chapter 5: Iteration Plan Chapter 6: Iteration 1 Chapter 7: Iteration 2 Chapter 8: Iteration 3 Chapter 9: Iteration 4 Chapter 10: Implementation Details Chapter 11: User Manual Chapter 12: Conclusions and Future Work References. Project "Water Quality Driven Fish Type Selection and Growth Monitoring for Sustainable Aquaculture" addresses the persistent challenges in aquaculture, such as poor fish growth, suboptimal species selection, and inefficient resource utilization. These issues stem from a lack of real-time monitoring and data-driven decision-making in traditional systems. To tackle these problems, we propose an integrated aquaculture solution that leverages the Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine Learning to continuously monitor key water quality parameters—such as pH, temperature, and turbidity—and recommend the most suitable fish species accordingly. Our initial findings demonstrate improved accuracy in fish species recommendation and enhanced growth rates, supporting more sustainable and efficient aquaculture practices. Key strengths of our approach include increased productivity, optimized resource usage, and greater resilience of fish farming systems. However, the system’s effectiveness may be limited by sensor calibration issues, high initial setup costs, and dependency on reliable internet connectivity in remote aquaculture regions. These limitations must be addressed in future work to ensure the system’s scalability and broader applicability. .
