This article is dedicated to providing a detailed review concerning the SPH-based hydrodynamic simulations for ocean energy devices (OEDs). Attention is particularly focused on three topics that are tightly related to the concerning field, covering (1) SPH-based numerical fluid tanks, (2) multi-physics SPH techniques towards simulating OEDs, and finally (3) computational efficiency and capacity. In addition, the striking challenges of the SPH method with respect to simulating OEDs are elaborated, and the future prospects of the SPH method for the concerning topics are also provided.

This study related to Quranic verses about ocean and energy sources. The Quranic verses about ocean examined in two ways: classically and contemporarily. This study uses modern scientific commentary (tafseer) through the parallelistic approach. The aims of this study is to obtain information about the relevance between Quranic verses, natural phenomenon, energy sources, and the advantages. The commentary about ocean in the Quran offers some alternatives to several issuess. There is a lot of inventions in energy sources that found based on Quranic verses. Analysis on the verses about ocean shows that there is a match between the written verses (Qawliyah) in al-Quran and the natural phenomenon (Kawniyah verses). This is the greatest challenge to the modern civilization. Solutions in food safety and energy; health and medicine; transportation and good mobilization; environmental management, and the emerging of new dicipline in Islamic Marine Knowledge obtained after knowing the oceanic energy source. The hint found in oceanic verses helps to find solutions in technology for the human problem nowaday, at the future, and at the end human will use Ilahi guidance in their life.

AbstractThe Chinese government has attached great significance to the research, development, and utilization of marine renewable energy (MRE), all of which made significant achievements in the year 2012. This paper systematically reviews and analyzes the development status of China's MRE industry, in terms of resources, policies, and technologies. Some problems are also pointed out, in order to provide further suggestions for China's MRE sector in the future. Prospects and main tasks in the near future are proposed to establish the demonstration bases of MRE and the national public supporting platform for MRE. The development and utilization of MRE have become a significant measure for China for increasing renewable energy power, optimizing energy structure, developing the marine economy, and reducing power shortages on islands. In the future, China will continue to promote the R&D of ocean energy technology as well as the development of technology demonstration and perfection among service providers of industrial applications.

A symposium on the future of the International Latitude Service (I. L. S.) is to be held in Helsinki in July 1960. My report for the symposium consists of two parts. Part I, denoded (Mk I) was published [1] earlier in 1960 under the title “Latitude and Longitude, and the Secular Motion of the Pole”. Part II is the present paper, denoded (Mk II).

Second-epoch photographs have now been obtained for nearly 850 of the 1246 fields of the proper motion program with centers at declination -20° and northwards. For the sky at 0° and northward only 130 fields remain to be taken in the next year or two. The 270 southern fields with centers at -5° to -20° remain for the future.

Metaphase chromosomes from human and mouse cells in vitro are isolated by micrurgy, fixed, and placed on grids for electron microscopy. Interpretations of electron micrographs by current methods indicate the following structural features.Chromosomal spindle fibrils about 200Å thick form fascicles about 600Å thick, wrapped by dense spiraling fibrils (DSF) less than 100Å thick as they near the kinomere. Such a fascicle joins the future daughter kinomere of each metaphase chromatid with those of adjacent non-homologous chromatids to either side. Thus, four fascicles (SF, 1-4) attach to each metaphase kinomere (K). It is thought that fascicles extend from the kinomere poleward, fray out to let chromosomal fibrils act as traction fibrils against polar fibrils, then regroup to join the adjacent kinomere.

In his pioneering demonstration of the potential of freeze-etching in biological systems, Russell Steere assessed the future promise and limitations of the technique with remarkable foresight. Item 2 in his list of inherent difficulties as they then stood stated “The chemical nature of the objects seen in the replica cannot be determined”. This defined a major goal for practitioners of freeze-fracture which, for more than a decade, seemed unattainable. It was not until the introduction of the label-fracture-etch technique in the early 1970s that the mould was broken, and not until the following decade that the full scope of modern freeze-fracture cytochemistry took shape. The culmination of these developments in the 1990s now equips the researcher with a set of effective techniques for routine application in cell and membrane biology.Freeze-fracture cytochemical techniques are all designed to provide information on the chemical nature of structural components revealed by freeze-fracture, but differ in how this is achieved, in precisely what type of information is obtained, and in which types of specimen can be studied.
