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,

Comparative Analysis of Design Standards for Floating Offshore Wind Turbine Mooring Systems: A Focus on Line Tension Safety Factors

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
The present study aims to conduct a comprehensive comparative analysis of international standards (DNV, ABS, BV, etc.) that regulate the design of mooring systems for floating offshore wind turbines. The comparative analysis focuses on the safety factors

Empowering Children in Coping With Their Parents' Separation: The Views of Young Adults Looking Back on Their Childhood Experiences

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

Regional and local divergence in welfare provision in England and Wales, 1776–1815

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract This article uses the township‐level data on welfare expenditure and provision gathered by parish officers in England and Wales at three points between 1776 and 1815 to illuminate regional and local differences during the period. These data have been linked to geographic information system (GIS) mapping systems, facilitating the mapping of ...

The aesthetic sublime of megaproject structures: A framework and a research agenda

European Management Review, EarlyView.
Abstract The physical structures of megaprojects—such as mega‐canals, metros, railway lines, bridges, tunnels, and iconic opera houses—hold a profound capacity to generate aesthetic experiences with enduring societal impact. Yet, research on megaprojects has predominantly focused on functionality and economic rationale with aesthetics being pushed to ...

Design and comparative analysis of mooring systems for a combined wind and wave energy system at intermediate water depth

Journal of Ocean Engineering and Science
For intermediate water depths (typically ranging from 50 m to 80 m), designing steel catenary mooring systems for floating marine renewable energy (FMRE) platforms can be challenging due to the limited weight of suspended mooring lines.

Post‐Release Mortality of European Bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) Discarded From Small‐Scale Estuarine Fishing

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Estuaries provide essential habitats for many fish species, but their confined and accessible nature may increase fish vulnerability to capture, and few empirical studies have quantified the value of restricting net fisheries in such areas.

Prediction of Mooring Line Top-Tensions Incorporated with Identification of Lost Clump Weights

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Monitoring the top-tension of mooring lines is essential for ensuring the safe operation of floating units. This study aims to propose an innovative hybrid method combining measured motions of Floating Production Storage and Offloading Vessels (FPSO ...

Effects of Dissolved Oxygen and Hypoxia on Catch Rates of Nearshore Groundfishes in a Recreational Hook and Line Fishery

Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global climate change is intensifying ocean deoxygenation, particularly in eastern boundary current systems such as the California Current. This study investigates the impact of hypoxic events on a nearshore, multispecies recreational groundfish fishery along the Oregon coast.
