Frequency-domain modeling of floating wind arrays with shared mooring lines [PDF]

Wind Energy Science
A frequency-domain model for floating wind turbine dynamics has been extended to model floating wind farms with couplings from shared mooring systems. The model, called RAFT, could previously calculate the mean offsets and wave-induced response spectra ...

Effect of triangle plate positioning on mooring line tension of single point mooring system

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science
Abstract The marine transportation of crude oil from tankers to final terminals is facilitated using pipelines and oil terminals. The predominant form of the terminal is the Single Point Mooring system. The system is crucial as it anchors tankers and transfers crude oil from the ship to the system using floating hoses.

THE VIOLENCE OF FULL COST RECOVERY: Financing Water Infrastructure, and the History and Future of Perpetual Crisis in Mombasa

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Foregrounding the role of finance, this article examines the historical production and future trajectory of the urban water crisis in Mombasa. Drawing on archival research and contemporary fieldwork, it traces how principles of full cost recovery—institutionalized during the colonial period and later reworked through postcolonial ...

Rendezvous in Space: Tech Diplomacy and the Commercial Space Era—A Study of Rendezvous and Docking Technologies and Space Exploration Co‐Operation Since the Cold War

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT On‐orbit rendezvous and docking constitute one of the most technically challenging activities in the history of space activities. As space endeavours mature to crewed missions, space rendezous and docking technologies (RDT) emerge as an area of technological innovation critical to advances in future crewed space exploration.

An Out-of-Plane Bending Fatigue Assessment Approach for Offshore Mooring Chains Considering the Real-Time Updating of Interlink Bending Stiffness

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Fatigue failure caused by frequent tension and bending loads is a crucial safety concern for mooring chains used on floating structures in the oil and gas industry.

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,

Personal resource gains: Effective coping builds academic buoyancy, and academic buoyancy builds achievement

British Journal of Educational Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Academic buoyancy is conceptualized as students' capacity to cope with academic challenges. Studies that examine how academic buoyancy and coping responses are reciprocally related, or that include relations with achievement, are lacking.

Numerical Simulation Analysis of an Offshore Multi-Row Arrangement Longline Aquaculture Facility with Lantern Nets Under Environmental Loads

Fishes
The structural hydrodynamic response of longline aquaculture facilities under the influence of waves and currents is complex. Studying the hydrodynamic characteristics of this aquaculture structure in complex sea environments can contribute to ...

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.

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
