Evaluating the dynamics of tension mooring supported tidal turbines [PDF]

, 2017
This paper reports the design of a tidal turbine station keeping system based on the adoption of a tensioned mooring system and investigates potential capabilities of introducing dampening into the system and the capabilities to reduce the peak loads tidal turbines experience during operations in high energy wave-current environments.

Bridging Sustainability and Innovation in Family Firms: The Roles of Local Green Knowledge and Local Embeddedness

Journal of Product Innovation Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article explores how family firms leverage environmental investments to drive innovation, proposing that their environmental efforts are more conducive to innovation compared to non‐family firms. We also propose that family firms' ability to transform environmental investments into superior innovation performance is particularly ...

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 ...

Innovation in Family Firms: The Role of Absorptive Capacity and Knowledge Collaboration

Journal of Product Innovation Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While prior research suggests that family ownership can significantly facilitate sales and innovation, empirical findings often overlook the nuanced differences in innovation inputs between family and non‐family firms. We address this gap by examining the extent to which family firms are able to use absorptive capacity by creating knowledge ...

A study of nonlinear hydrodynamic and mooring modelling for the Volturn floating wind platform in comparison with experiments

Applied Ocean Research
For coupled hydrodynamic-aerodynamic-mooring models for floating offshore wind platforms, there has been little time domain validation against experimental data which can reveal the origin of uncertainties for this complex problem.

Optimizing a long‐term monitoring strategy to track emerging cyanobacterial blooms in a Great Lakes estuary

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cHABs) are increasingly frequent and severe globally. Recently, the St. Louis River Estuary (SLRE) has experienced numerous cHABs, but the locations, timing, and environmental conditions associated with them are unknown.

What's in a Promise?

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many, perhaps even most, philosophers hold that, in order to promise someone something, the promisor must intend to communicate what they are promising. I argue against this claim, explain why it matters to the nature of promising, and sketch an alternative picture of normatively powerful speech acts.

A trait‐based integration of competition and abiotic tolerance underlies plant success

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Competitive effect and abiotic tolerance show positive associations with species' niche breadth and local dominance. Summary Understanding what determines species' ecological success is a central challenge in ecology. Competitive ability and abiotic tolerance are expected to be strong predictors of species success, yet theory predicts a trade‐off ...
