Analysis of the containership chartermarket 1983-1992: In relation to the design characteristics of containerships
No full textWhat is a good containership? This depends to a large extent on the perspective of the person answering the question, such as the shipowner, the naval architect, the shipyard, the banker, the terminal operator, etcetera. This book attempts to answer the question from the perspective of the chartermarket. How do containerships actually perform and do some ships consistently out- or under perform the market-average? The rationale for the study is the wellknown expression from the stockexchange "The market is always right". In order to base the answers on a sufficiently number of data, we have taken the ten year period from 1983 to 1992, covering some 7000 charterfixtu res. The analysis draws an indepth picture of the containership chartermarket and shows the ships which have above or below average performance. This group of ships is further analysed in terms of design characteristics, which represents valuable feedback from the market to the shipdesigners. Therefore the book is a must for all those involved in the design, operation, chartering, shipbroking and financing of containerships.Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineerin
Synthesis of some secondary amine derivatives bearing a heteroaryl fragment
No full textKouznetsov, V.V. (reprint author) y Astudillo L. Instituto de Química de Recursos Naturales, Universidad de Talca, Casilla: 747, Talca, Chile.Diverse N-(heteroarylmethyl)anilines were easily prepared from corresponding aldimines derived from commercially available aromatic aldehydes and anilines. New series of substituted NH-tetrahydroquinolines were also prepared using imino-Diels-Alder reaction between aldimines and N-vinylpyrrolidin-2-one in the presence of (BF3OEt2)-O-. and the multi-component condensation reactions using a friendly ecological catalyst(BiCl3). The secondary amines obtained bearing a heteroaryl moiety were tested as possible antibacterial and antifungal agents

Ensuring critical event sequences in high integrity software by applying path expressions
No full textThe goal of this work is to extend the use of existing path expression theory and methodologies to ensure that critical software event sequences are maintained even in the face of malevolent attacks and harsh or unstable operating environments. This will be accomplished by providing dynamic fault management measures directly to the software developer and to their varied development environments. This paper discusses the perceived problems, a brief overview of path expressions, and the author`s proposed extension areas. The authors discuss how the traditional path expression usage and implementation differs from the intended usage and implementation
Framing Egypt : Roman literary perceptions of Egypt from Cicero to Juvenal
No full text
This is a comprehensive study of Roman literary references to Egypt without preference for one particular period, author or subject, in contrast to most previous scholarship. In doing so, it shows that these references vary greatly, are context-dependent, and cannot be rightly understood when interpreted only within the normative and fixated frameworks of negative perceptions of contemporary Egypt or positive perceptions of Egypt’s antiquity. Moreover, this study suggests that approaching Roman literary references from the notion of Roman self-representationis useful for understanding and explaining their multifarious and sometimes contradictory messages. This observation does not imply that every reference to Egypt is therefore ‘Roman’. On the contrary, Egypt was occasionally framed as the Other. Yet the omnipresence of Egypt in Roman literature is of major importance when the Roman identity is at stake. Egypt, then, is neither only the Other, nor only the Self, but always a polyvalent notion in terms of identity-making.Classical & Mediterranean Archaeolog
Design considerations for permanent magnet direct drive generators for wind energy applications
No full textPermanent Magnet Direct Drive (PMDD) generators offer very high force density, high efficiency and low number of components. Due to these advantages, PMDD generators are getting popular in the wind energy industry especially for offshore application. Presence of permanent magnets gives magnetic field for free but there are many design considerations which must be taken into account for a good design. The design considerations presented in this paper are rotor eccentricity, short circuit current estimation, voltage reflection at generator terminals due to high frequency switching and forces during magnet assembly. Simplified analytical methods which give quick results have been developed and then simulations have been performed to validate the analytical models. FEMM 4.0 which is a Finite Element (FE) solver was used for validation of various magnetic force models. MATLAB® Simulink was used for short circuit and voltage reflection validation. It was deduced that the analytical methods give good estimation of these effects and can thus be included at an early design stage.Electrical Sustainable EnergyElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
