KNSwing—On the Mooring Loads of a Ship-Like Wave Energy Converter
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019 The critical function of keeping a floating Wave Energy Converter in position is done by a mooring system. Several WECs have been lost due to failed moorings, indicating that extreme loads, reliability and durability are very important aspects.

Inventions, 2022 Floating offshore structures (FOS) must be designed to be stable, to float, and to be able to support other structures for which they were designed. These FOS are needed for different transfer operations in oil terminals.

Setpoint Chasing for Thruster-Assisted Position Mooring
IEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering, 2007 This paper presents a new concept for control of thruster-assisted position moored vessel using setpoint chasing. The mooring system is designed to compensate the mean environmental loads up to a certain limit of the environmental conditions. In the present industrial position mooring (PM) system, the thrusters are used to damp the vessel’s dynamical ...

An efficient frequency-domain model for quick load analysis of floating offshore wind turbines [PDF]
Wind Energy Science, 2018 A model for Quick Load Analysis of Floating wind turbines (QuLAF) is presented and validated here. The model is a linear, frequency-domain, efficient tool with four planar degrees of freedom: floater surge, heave, pitch and first tower modal ...

Evidence for the Placement of the Gram-Negative Catonella morbi (Moore and Moore) and Johnsonella ignava (Moore and Moore) within the Clostridium Subphylum of the Gram-Positive Bacteria on the Basis of 16S rRNA Sequences [PDF]
International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1995 Comparative 16S rRNA analysis was used to determine the phylogenetic positions of Catonella morbi and Johnsonella ignava, which are members of two monospecific genera of gram-negative anaerobic bacilli isolated from human gingival crevices. Both of these genera were found to belong to cluster XIVa (M. D. Collins, P. A. Lawson, A. Willems, J. J. Cordoba,
