MOORING FORCES INDUCED BY PASSING SHIPS - MEASUREMENTS IN PROTOTYPE

Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1980
In the present study the mooring systems of four bulk carriers which were moored at a jetty located parallel to a navigable water were investigated with special regard to forces due to passing ships. The objective of this study was to verify in praxi the present knowledge of moored vessels berthed at more protected sites and to prove proposed models of

How to stay wild in a highly domesticated landscape? Spatiotemporal behaviour of wolves in Germany

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wild animals can adapt to the increasing presence of humans by either becoming accustomed to it or by avoiding humans by spatiotemporal separation. The return of the wolf to the German lowlands raised the opportunity to study wolf behaviour in one of the most densely populated and fragmented countries in Europe, in an area where topography offers no ...

Genetic population structure of red foxes Vulpes vulpes across a rural landscape: insights into population connectivity and spatial patterns

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Human activities have shaped and are continuing to influence terrestrial landscapes, creating heterogenous, and often, fragmented landscapes. Generalist species, like the red fox Vulpes vulpes, show high flexibility in habitat use, and occur across the heterogeneous, anthropogenic landscapes of central Europe.

Entrepreneurial Orientation Under Female Family Leadership: Zooming in on Only‐child CEOs and Generational Dynamics in Family Firms

British Journal of Management, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper revisits the entrepreneurial orientation–performance relationship in family firms by examining why entrepreneurial orientation yields uneven performance returns. Drawing on entrepreneurial orientation research, upper echelons theory and gender role theory, we argue that the effectiveness of entrepreneurial orientation depends on the

Field Emergence From Diverse Origins: History, Heterogeneity and the Evolution of UK Business Schools

British Journal of Management, EarlyView.
Abstract This article revisits the view that UK business schools emerged as late and imitative responses to American models. Drawing on archival evidence and a longitudinal dataset of 130 institutions, it shows that the field developed incrementally from diverse origins, including mechanics’ institutes, civic universities, colleges of commerce and ...
