Analysis of Motion Mechanism and Steel Catenary Riser Failure Probability of the Semi-submersible Platform under the Mooring Line Failure

, 2023
With the global warming and the frequent occurrences of harsh environments, mooring line failures are frequent. Response analysis of the platform structure and its residual mooring system under multiple mooring line failures is needed. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the change law of platform motion response after mooring line failure to ...

Balancing forage and fear: How people, environment and predators shape reindeer grazing in the Fennoscandian tundra

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The long history of reindeer herding in Fennoscandia has shaped the mountain tundra by influencing its productivity, nutrient and carbon cycling and vegetation structure. By partly limiting shrub expansion, extensive reindeer grazing contributes to ecosystem resilience and helps mitigate climate change effects.

Time-domain dynamic response analysis of progressive mooring failure for deep-sea semi-submersible platforms

Journal of Ocean Engineering and Science
Deepwater semi-submersible platforms play a pivotal role in the exploration and exploitation of marine resources. The ''Deep Sea No.1″ semi-submersible platform in the South China Sea serves as the reference case for numerical simulations.

A Method for Identifying Rainfall‐Runoff Events at Sub‐Hourly Time Scales: Applications for Nature‐Based Solutions and Water Resources

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how changes in catchment conditions affect ecohydrology in response to rainfall‐runoff events is crucial when developing informed strategies to enhance flow resilience, restore natural habitats, interpret water quality data or reduce flood risk.

Multi‐Platform Deployments of Low‐Cost Devices for Cetacean Passive Acoustic Monitoring

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Recent advances in affordable, user‐friendly devices offer new opportunities to overcome cost constraints of underwater passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) and expand acoustic data collection. In this study, we deployed low‐cost acoustic recorders and underwater cameras across a range of platforms in the Western Mediterranean, including fishing gear ...

Anti‐Globalization Dynamics and Africa's Structural Transformation: Identifying Avoidable Environmental Degradation Thresholds

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study pursues a dual objective. First, it investigates the unconditional impact of anti‐globalization on structural transformation in Africa. Second, it explores how environmental degradation interacts with anti‐globalization to influence structural transformation. The analysis focuses on 52 African countries over the period 2005–2023. To

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 ...
