Modelling and Simulation of Moored-Floating Structures Using the Tension-Element-Method [PDF]

Volume 2: CFD and FSI, 2018
The application of a discrete mooring model for floating structures is presented in this paper. The method predicts the steady-state solution for the shape of an elastic cable and the tension forces under consideration of static loads. It is based on a discretization of the cable in mass points connected with straight but elastic bars.

Views from the hill: Deer stalkers' perspectives on land‐use change in the Scottish Highlands

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Land‐use and wildlife management are changing globally as part of efforts to address contemporary environmental challenges. In the Scottish Highlands, the hunting—or ‘stalking’—of deer has entered a period of considerable flux primarily because of national policy changes to mitigate climate change and biodiversity loss.

A new concept for airship mooring and ground handling [PDF]

, 1975
Calculations were made to determine the feasibility of applying the negative air cushion (NAC) principle to the mooring of airships. Pressures required for the inflation of the flexible trunks are not excessive and the maintenance of sufficient hold down

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 ...

Dynamic Response Assessment of Floating Offshore Wind Turbine Mooring Systems with Different In-Line Tensioner Configurations Based on Fully Coupled Load Calculations

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
In-line tensioning technology has significantly reduced the cost barriers that previously hindered the expansion of the floating offshore wind industry. However, assessing the impact of in-line tensioners on the dynamic response of floating offshore wind

Members Only—The Emergence of the Business Family as a Professionalized and Differentiated Organizational System

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The importance of business families is increasingly gaining attention. However, to truly understand business families and their dynamics, they must be viewed as distinct systems. Since this area has received limited scholarly focus, we argue that forming a new system is more than just an extension.
