Mocean Energy has designed a 100-kW hinged-raft wave energy converter (WEC), the M100, which has a novel geometry that reduces the cost of energy by improving the ratios of power per size and power per torque.The performance of the M100 is shown through the outputs of frequency-domain and time-domain numerical models, which are compared with those

The present study explored potential factors that may mediate the relationship Louisiana between narcissism and conspicuous consumption, as the underlying reasons for this connection remain uncertain.Specifically, we investigated the following variables as potential mediators of the links between narcissistic personality traits and conspicuous cons

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the deadliest diseases worldwide.Master-slave robotic systems have been widely used in vascular interventional surgery with the benefit of high safety, efficient operation, and procedural facilitation.This paper introduces a remote-controlled vascular interventional robot (RVIR) that aims to enable surgeons to per
