TL;DR: In this article, a large piston-coring device utilizing well-casing pipe 14 cm (o.d.), 11 cm (i.d.) has obtained cores over 20 m in length in water depths of 100 to 5000 m. Penetration varies between 24 and 29 m with a total core weight of 3200-4000 kg and 2 to 3 m of free fall.

TL;DR: In this paper, the combined effects of current and waves on the force exerted on an element of a cylinder in a random gravity wave field in deep water are studied, where wave-current interactions are taken into account.

TL;DR: A turbidity survey of Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, was made during the summer months of 1971 and included measurements of the attenuation function for scalar irradiance for daylight and the volume attenuation functions for white tungsten light at various depths as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of wave-current interactions on fluid force on a single cylinder and on two cylinders in tandem is examined, and the effect of interactions is slightly reduced.

TL;DR: In this article, a gamma-ray transmission method is discussed for measuring the water content of marine sediment samples during consolidation testing, which permits obtaining consolidation curves for sediment cores while still in the core liner, thereby eliminating several sources of sample disturbance.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that if the inner and outer surfaces are not required to be parallel to each other, there are solutions which permit extending the observable field to nearly a full hemisphere with acceptably small distortion and lateral chromatic aberration.

TL;DR: In this paper, the cost of constructing a house as a function of its design height is described by a basic lot size model, the cost components include construction and flooding risk cost, the former increases while the latter decreases with design height.
