Comparative Study on Fatigue Analysis Methods using Turret-moored FPSO Model
Abstract: Abstract Floating structures are prone to fatigue due to high cyclic loads mainly caused by waves and changing loading conditions. Therefore, fatigue is an important criterion during design. The fatigue life is dependent upon factors such as global and local design, workmanship during construction, maintenance, corrosion protection, and trade and load history. Different approaches are applied to the fatigue strength assessment. Longitudinal stiffener end connections are also important structural elements …

Herbicide Resistance in Relation to Weed Management in Crops and Cropping Systems in Reference to North East: Review
Abstract: AbstractWeeds are one of the greatest limiting factors to efficient crop production. As a consequence of structural and financing problems the cultural condition of the soil deteriorates and weeds proliferate; many species are hard to kill. Therefore, for sustaining food grain production to feed ever-increasing population and ensuring food security, effective weed management is very essential. Despite advances in control technologies, weeds have retained their rank as the most damaging …
