4. 3. The Paradigm Shift for Substations Technology within Wind Power Applications from Onshore to Floating

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Ahmad Talaat Hifzy; [2023]
   Keywords : Floating; offshore; substation; transformer; GIS; equipment; high-voltage; fatigue; Flytande; havsbaserad; station; transformator; GIS; utrustning; högspänning; utmattning;

   Abstract : Floating wind turbines are attracting more attention as more than three-quarters of the total offshore technical potential is located in deep water, leading to a growing trend in floating wind farm projects. Consequently, it becomes necessary to develop Floating Offshore Substation (FOSS) to step up voltage and efficiently transmit power to the shore with minimal losses. READ MORE

6. 5. Body patterning and cognition in cephalopods - a literature review

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Environment and Health

   Author : Georgina Chu; [2023]
   Keywords : cephalopods; octopus; body patterning; colour alteration; chromatophores; pigment cells; cognition; learning and memory;

   Abstract : Cephalopods are a valuable model for studying the evolution of cognition due to their distinctive brain structure, organisation, and connectivity patterns compared to vertebrates. The development of large brains and behavioural complexities are believed to be triggered by evolutionary pressures stemming from factors like heightened predation, more demanding foraging conditions, and intense mating competition.
