Investigation into Fishtailing Effect of Oil Tankers Moored at Pile-Founded Column Single-Point Mooring (SPM) Systems

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Targeting the “Fishtailing Effect” associated with shallow-water, pile-founded column single point mooring (SPM) systems, this study investigates the vessel’s motion characteristics under multiple operational scenarios using a numerical calculation ...

Marxism and Decolonizing Praxis: From Decolonial Misinterpretations to Marxist Contributions

Development and Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article intervenes in postcolonial and decolonial critiques that portray Karl Marx and Marxism as intrinsically Eurocentric and inattentive to race, colonialism and non‐European revolutionary agency. It argues that such critiques often rely on selective, historically limited interpretations that overlook Marx's later writings, in which he

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

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 ...

Parameter Optimization Method for FPSO Docking Mooring Lines Under Typhoon Conditions Based on Improved Genetic Algorithms

Shanghai Jiaotong Daxue xuebao
Floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) units are critical equipment in offshore oil development. When mooring at a dock in harsh environmental conditions such as typhoons, their large main dimensions and simultaneous exposure to combined wind,

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 ...

Courting Confidence in Probation: Unpacking Organisational Legitimacy Within the Criminal Justice System

The Howard Journal of Crime and Justice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this article, we address the hitherto neglected question of how sentencers and other professional actors in the criminal courts think about the legitimacy of probation services. We deploy a framework from the organisational studies literature, which suggests three dimensions of legitimacy that organisations seek from their stakeholders ...

Annual Research Review: What processes are dysregulated among emotionally dysregulated youth? – a systematic review

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, Volume 66, Issue 4, Page 516-546, April 2025.
Proliferation of the term “emotion dysregulation” in child psychopathology parallels the growing interest in processes that influence negative emotional reactivity. While it commonly refers to a clinical phenotype where intense anger leads to behavioral dyscontrol, the term implies etiology because anything that is dysregulated requires an impaired ...

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.
