Accessing the global seafaring labour market

As a global labour market exists for international shipping, a challenging issue facing this industry is to get access to reliable, accurate and timely information of seafarers’ demand and supply. Related to the deregulation environment and great variety in the availability and quality of relevant information, an enquiry into the global seafaring labour market is more complex than a national labour force survey. To cope with the challenge, a novel approach has been developed by the Seafarers International Research Centre (SIRC) at Cardiff University. Viewing capital (ship), labour (seafarers) and services (cargo or passengers) as interconnected and interwoven to each other, it collects and analyses crew lists from main ports world-wide, resulting in the creation of the first global seafarers database. The purpose of this paper is explain its methodological principles, and to illustrate its application potential. Taking the cruise sector as an example, research findings and methodological implications are highlighted.

Maritime search and rescue: Benefit or burden for society?

Just twenty five years have passed since the International Maritime Organization (IMO) provided the legal and internationally harmonized framework for maritime search and rescue operations. While a number of nations only had to adapt their well-established national services it took great efforts for other nations to develop agencies able to fulfil or outstrip minimum requirements. However, the majority of nations (well aware of the humanitarian nature of that task) have been afraid to cope with this challenge and the related financial burdens since the benefits to local, regional, or even national economies are not always clear to the relevant national administrating authorities.

悬索桥施工控制的基本框架

针对悬索桥施工的特点,提出悬索桥施工控制的基本框架.施工前计算的重点应放在提高主缆、吊索、加劲梁段的无应力尺寸(或长度)及鞍座、索夹等预偏量的计算精度上;施工中控制的重点应放在消除悬索桥主塔、主缆的施工误差对加劲梁架设、合龙、线形控制的影响上.最后,以某主跨为1 385 m的悬索桥施工中吊索长度的调整为例,证明了该框架的可行性.     

针刺条件下单一肌梭传入神经电信号的统计分析

本文应用分离单一肌梭的方法,对在针刺条件下肌梭的传入放电进行了统计分析,同时应用快速付里叶(Fourier)变换算法对其传入放电的波形特征作功率谱分析。结果表明,针刺时肌梭传入放电的频率明显增多且趋于平稳,而留针期间,肌梭的放电频率随留时间的延长而规律性递减,表现有一定的适应现象。提示针感的强弱应是针刺>留针>去针后。功率谱分析表明,针刺前、针刺时、留针及去针后等4种情况下,单一肌梭传入放电的主要能量都集中在低频段内,针刺时略向较高频率偏移,提示针刺时肌梭中的较粗纤维活动增强。
