Numerical modeling of a mooring line system for an offshore floating wind turbine in Vietnamese sea conditions using nonlinear materials

Water Science and Engineering
The offshore renewable energy industry has been developing farms of floating offshore wind turbines in water depths up to 100 m. In Vietnam, floating offshore wind turbines have been developed to increase the production of clean and sustainable energy ...

A Multi‐Method Approach to Assessing Barrier Effectiveness in Preventing the Spread of Invasive Signal Crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus)

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Relieving barriers and increasing free flowing rivers is a global imperative to restore habitat connectivity for migratory fish stocks. While reducing river fragmentation will certainly improve biodiversity, the spread of non‐native species throughout a river system may be facilitated as an inadvertent outcome.

Fatigue analysis on the mooring chain of a spread moored FPSO considering the OPB and IPB

International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, 2019
The appropriate design of a mooring system to maintain the position of an offshore structure in deep sea under various environmental loads is important. Fatigue design of the mooring line considering OPB/IPB(out-of-plane bending/in-plane bending) became ...

Rhyming in the cold: first evidence of soniferous fishes in the Southern Ocean

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
The acoustic ecology of Southern Ocean fishes remains unknown due to a lack of dedicated acoustic research on the fishes of this ocean. Passive acoustic monitoring data were collected at the South African sub‐Antarctic Prince Edward Islands using an underwater acoustic recorder, and towed underwater Ski‐Monkey cameras were deployed to identify fish ...

Technology‐Enabled Cross‐Border Entrepreneurship: The Role of Digital Platforms in SME Expansion Through the Lens of Institutional Theory

Thunderbird International Business Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) face significant institutional barriers when expanding across borders, including regulatory constraints, financial accessibility issues, and market entry challenges. Institutional theory provides a useful framework for understanding how external regulative, normative, and cognitive institutional forces

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.

Analysis of Platform Dynamic Response With a 3 × 3 Mooring System for the DTU 10 MW Wind Turbine Based on OpenFAST

Shock and Vibration
A novel 3 × 3 mooring system was designed for the DTU 10 MW wind turbine based on the floating platform OOStar. This new mooring system was compared with the original mooring system using OpenFAST.

Hydrodynamic Characteristics Analysis and Mooring System Optimization of an Innovative Deep-Sea Aquaculture Platform

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
As nearshore aquaculture spaces become saturated, the development of fisheries aquaculture for deep sea has become an inevitable trend. This paper proposes an innovative deep-sea aquaculture platform that incorporates a vessel-shaped main structure and a

Relationship between spatial and social phenotypes in an avian scavenger

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
A method is applied to distinguish interaction rates that would be expected given animals' movements from those that exceed expected values due to incidental contact. The relationship between space use and both observed and non‐incidental social network position varies between social situations.

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 ...
