The limitations of access to finance in Africa, together with the recent boom cell phone use that continent, created high expectations regarding introduction mobile money many African countries. success story M-PESA Kenya raised bar further. We designed and conducted a field experiment assess impact randomized dissemination rural Mozambique. For this purpose we benefit from fact was only recently launched country, allowing for identification pure control group. This paper reports on first...
Abstract The rapid emergence of the floating offshore wind sector requires development new technologies such as dynamic inter-array cables. This work gives an insight into hydrostatic predesign a cable system looking from side view. Numerical analyses are performed to compare two umbilical shapes, namely catenary and lazy wave shape. In parametric study, water depth length varied. As outcome, unique generalized recommendation for first design is presented. Finally, outlook analysis...
Due to increasing requirements, standards and tight oversight from governments, along with the immediate need effectively manage business operational risks inherent competing in a complex global market, integrated Governance, Risk Compliance (GRC) is becoming one of most important requirements for organizations. In particular, IT best practices play crucial role organizations/departments. The lack guidance this domain, namely scientific research, results unaided attempts improve efficiency...
Floating point absorbers devices are a large class of wave energy converters for deployment offshore, typically in water depths between 40 and 100m. As floating oil gas platforms, the subject to drift forces due waves, currents wind, therefore have be kept place by proper mooring system. Although similarities can found converting systems design requirements will some important differences them, one them associated fact that, case converter, connections may significantly modify its absorption...
Point absorbers constitute an important class of offshore wave energy converters. If employed in the extensive exploitation resource, they should be deployed arrays, distance between elements array being possibly tens meters. In such cases, it may more convenient that is spread moored to sea bottom through only some its (possibly located periphery), while other are prevented from drifting and colliding with each by connections adjacent elements. This kind mooring arrangement addressed paper...
Tightly moored single-body floating devices are an important class of offshore wave energy converters. Examples the under development at University Uppsala, Sweden, and Oregon State University, USA, prototypes which were recently tested off western coast Sweden coast, respectively. These equipped with a linear electrical generator. The mooring system consists cable that is kept tight by spring or equivalent device. This also prevents buoy from drifting away providing horizontal restoring...
