Despite several potential advantages, relatively few studies and design support tools have been developed for floating VAWTs. Due to the substantial aerodynamics differences, the analyses of VAWT on floating structures cannot be easily extended from what have been already done for HAWTs. Therefore, the main aim of the present work is to compare...

The interest in floating offshore wind turbines (FOWT) has been growing substantially over the last decade and, after a number of prototypes deployed [1], the first offshore floating wind farms have been approved and are being developed. While a number of international research activities have been conducted on the dynamics of offshore floating...

To address the functional and prognostic relevance of the -173 single-nucleotide G-to-C polymorphism of the macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) gene in patients with systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis (systemic-onset JIA) by evaluating its association with serum and synovial fluid levels of MIF, with glucocorticoid...
