Influence of non-linear wave load models on monopile supported offshore wind turbines for extreme conditions by Ryan, GV, Tang, T, McAdam, RA, Adcock, TAA

“…These models are compared to the widely used constrained wave approach, showing that significant differences are predicted for steel and geotechnical design checks. This suggests that the industry standard approach may be inappropriate for the design of monopile structures against extreme wave loads.…”

Preprocessing and authentication of 2D barcodes by Chen, Changsheng.

“…In this thesis, we investigate the detection step of a barcode by modeling its finder pattern as a 2D signal with finite rate of innovations and reconstructing it through block by block operation. Then, a quality checking step of the barcode images is added to reject those poor quality images for saving the time in processing the undecodable images and avoiding wrongly decoded information. …”
