A Freeport Comes to Luxembourg, or, Why Those Wishing to Hide Assets Purchase Fine Art
This article addresses how global art markets are becoming an outlet of choice for those wishing to hide assets. Recent efforts by the OECD and the U.S. Treasury have made it more difficult for people to avoid taxes by taking money “offshore”.

Barotrauma and Successful Release of Fish Caught in Deep Water
If you catch a fish you are not going to keep, help it survive and get back to the deep! Throwing back your unwanted catch is good practice because healthy released fish can live to grow and reproduce, which benefits the fish population and the future ...

Numerical simulation of wind loads on an offshore PV panel: the effect of wave angle [PDF]
ABSTRACTThis numerical simulation determines the wind loads on a stand-alone solar panel in a marine environment. The initial angle of tilt is 20° and 40° and the wind is incident at an angle of 0–180° (in increments of 45°). The wave angle affects the motion of a pontoon.

Load envelope concept of offshore wind turbine monopile with the allowed inclined angle in sand
Monopiles are the economic choices in shallow water as the foundations of offshore wind turbines (OWTs). Maximum allowed rotation h¼0.25 is set as the criterion in the serviceability limit state design. However, the allowed load combinations of monopiles in sand are not fully revealed and understood satisfying the criterion. In this paper, load envelop

Optimal Pitch Angle Strategy for Energy Maximization in Offshore Wind Farms Considering Gaussian Wake Model [PDF]
This paper presents a new approach based on the optimization of the blade pitching strategy of offshore wind turbines in order to maximize the global energy output considering the Gaussian wake model and including the effect of added turbulence. A genetic algorithm is proposed as an optimization tool in the process of finding the optimal setting of the

Offshore wind energy is a renewable energy source that is developing fast. It is considered to be the most promising energy source in the next decade. Besides, the expanding trend for this technology requires the consideration of diversified seabeds. In deep seabeds, floating offshore wind technology (FOWT) is needed.

Air cushion barge platform for offshore wind turbine and its stability at a large range of angle [PDF]
One of typical bases for floating offshore wind turbines is the barge platform that has merits of simpler structure and lower costs, but disadvantages of significant responses in waves. In order to improve the hydrodynamic performance of the barge platforms, in this paper a novel Air cushion Barge Platform (ACBP) is proposed, into which multiple air ...

The Doppler spectra of sea echoes, which contain abundant information on floating scatterers, are important for exploring the characteristics of sea clutter. Using sea clutter data at low grazing angles observed by a coherent ultra-high frequency (UHF) radar located on Lingshan Island in the Yellow Sea, China, this study conducted detailed research on ...
