‘Reinventing’ the Beach? Lessons from a Local Development Plan in the French Riviera
The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract Coastal squeeze is now so tangible both globally and locally that the focus of scientific debate has expanded from the erosion of beaches to the risk of their disappearance. In this context, it is crucial to explore local development plans that aim to preserve the long‐term existence of a beach.

Dynamic Effective Tension in FPSO Mooring Lines
Deepwater Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) systems depend mainly on the condition of their mooring systems to maintain safe position under normal operation and harsh metocean conditions. The Bonga FPSO, operating at about 1000m water depth in the Gulf of Guinea, is subjected to significant dynamic loading on its mooring network ...

Framings of Intervention in Spain: From the Civil War to the Franco Dictatorship
History, EarlyView.Abstract Despite the role of foreign intervention in the Spanish Civil War, the word intervención rarely appeared in contemporary media and official discourse. This article examines the expressions that Republican and rebel authorities used to represent the presence of outside forces in Spain.

MOTION OF FLOATING BODY AND MOORING LINE TENSION WITH DYNAMIC EFFECT
Doboku Gakkai Ronbunshu, 1990 Under severe storm condition, mooring system of a floating body will become taut condition. To estimate motion and mooring tension on such condition, a practical calculation method considering dynamic effect of mooring line is presented. Also experimental study on a floating cylinder moored by relatively small chain is carried out and following ...

On 3‐MMC: A Cathinone I Have Come to Know and Love
Anthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article attempts to complicate the mythology of a compound in a state of becoming. I will trace lightly its origins as a cultural disruptor and how I am implicated in this imperative. Introducing you to 3‐MMC will require multiple modes of storytelling and taking of liberties, drawing on literature reviews, practice‐based research, prose,

Cache‐Cache: Dans les souffles du Grand Fleuve…
Anthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Between ventriloquism and divination, devotion and consecration, an old and sublime marine game unfolds each day, with living breaths shared in the waters of the great river. In Tadoussac, on the north shore of the St. Lawrence Estuary, at the mouth of the Saguenay, the rumor of whales has long resonated.

Truncated drumlins and their implication for past sea level reconstructions
Boreas, EarlyView.Coastal erosion of glacigenic sediments, particularly in the form of retreating drumlin bluffs, is a key process in paraglacial landscape evolution during periods of relative sea‐level (RSL) rise. As marine transgression reworks formerly subaerial glacial terrains, drumlins act as discrete sediment sources generating characteristic erosional and ...

Child &Family Social Work, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Parental separation is a process that impacts children's lives before parents decide to separate, during the physical separation and in the adjustment that follows, which may continue for many years. This study draws on the retrospective accounts of 30 young adults (aged 18–30) who experienced parental separation in childhood, to identify what
