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 ...

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