EXPERIMENTAL DETERMINATION OF NON-LINEAR ROLL DAMPING OF AN FPSO PURE ROLL COUPLED WITH LIQUID SLOSHING IN TWO-ROW TANKS

Experimental Determination of Non-Linear Roll Damping of an FPSO Pure Roll Coupled with Liquid Sloshing in Two-Row Tanks

Wave excited roll motion poses danger for moored offshore vessels such as Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) because they cannot divert to avoid bad weather.Furthermore, slack cargo tanks are almost always present in FPSOs by design.These pose an increased risk of roll instability due to the presence of free surfaces.The most common

Chemical Cues Induced from Fly-Oviposition Mediate the Host-Seeking Behaviour of Fopius arisanus (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), an Effective Egg Parasitoid of Bactrocera dorsalis (Diptera: Tephritidae), within a Tritrophic Context

Fopius arisanus is a solitary endoparasitoid that parasitizes a variety of tephritid species.Native to the Indo-Australian region, it is currently exploited worldwide as a biological control agent due to its exceptional efficiency in reducing pest populations.The efficiency of any biological control program is affected by the host location ability
