    New south exit channel in Río de la Plata: A preliminary design study Jelmer Brandt, Koen Minnee, Roel Winter, Stefan Gerrits & Victor Kramer TU Delft & University of Buenos Aires 17-11-2015 PREFACE During the Master of Civil Engineering at the TU Delft students can participate in a Multidisciplinary Project as part of their study curriculum. Student with different study backgrounds work together, simulating a small engineering consulting firm. Different aspects of a problem are regarded and a solution needs to be presented in a time-scope of 8 weeks. This project is often executed abroad. We took the opportunity to take this course and found a project in Buenos Aires, Argentina. During these two months we were able to apply our gained theoretical knowledge in a real time project setting. We experienced working and living in a in country with a significant culture difference. Argentina differs with the Netherlands in quite some areas, for example: Language, politics, economy and lifestyle. We had a great time being here working on the project as well as living in Buenos Aires. We would like to thank Ir. H.J. Verhagen (TU Delft) for getting us in touch with the University of Buenos Aires and for his project and content advise. Our supervisors, Eng. R. Escalante (Hídrovia S.A./UBA) in Buenos Aires, Ir. H. Verheij (TU Delft) and Prof. Ir. T. Vellinga (TU Delft) in The Netherlands, have been of great support providing the project group with advice and insights. We also had dinner with Dutch people in the Argentine water sector.

  • A Rare Phone Call from One President to Another - Not Even Past
    A Rare Phone Call from One President to Another - Not Even Past BOOKS FILMS & MEDIA THE PUBLIC HISTORIAN BLOG TEXAS OUR/STORIES STUDENTS ABOUT 15 MINUTE HISTORY "The past is never dead. It's not even past." William Faulkner NOT EVEN PAST Tweet 2 Like THE PUBLIC HISTORIAN A Rare Phone Call from One President to Another Making History: Houston’s “Spirit of the by Jonathan C. Brown Confederacy” “Señor Presidente,” Lyndon Baines Johnson said via a long-distance telephone call from the Oval Office. “We are very sorry over the violence which you have had down there but gratified that you have appealed to the Panamanian people to remain calm.” President Johnson often talked politics on the phone but seldom with foreign leaders. Johnson, who had just succeeded to the presidency of the world’s most powerful country, was speaking to the head of state of one of the smaller nations of the Western Hemisphere. The call marked the only time that Johnson spoke to a Latin American counterpart by telephone during his presidency—a fact that demonstrates how serious he considered the situation. This unique president-to-president phone conversation occurred on January 10, 1964, following the first full May 06, 2020 day of riots by Panamanian youths along the fence line between Panama City and the U.S. occupied Canal Zone. It was the first foreign crisis of the Johnson presidency. Johnson’s call was translated by a More from The Public Historian Spanish-speaking U.S. Army colonel, transcribed by the White House staff, and preserved in the archives of the LBJ Presidential Library and Museum.

  • Suez-Max Tanker Optimization
    Design Analysis of a New Generation of Suezmax Tankers Igor Belamarić,1 Predrag Čudina,2 Kalman Žiha3 A thoroughly investigated design of a new generation of Suezmax tankers incorporating the builder's consideration in the form of a condensed mathematical model is presented. The design model is provided for practical application and for a fast assessment of the conceptual design. The design model is subjected to different methods of design analysis in order determine an adequate design and the appropriate procedure applicable in the design office. In addition, the computational, building and operational uncertainties involved in the design and mathematical model are considered. The uncertainty analysis based on tolerances indicates a wider choice of designs within acceptable limits.

  • Branch's Elements of Shipping/Alan E
    ‘I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in shipping or taking a course where shipping is an important element, for example, chartering and broking, maritime transport, exporting and importing, ship management, and international trade. Using an approach of simple analysis and pragmatism, the book provides clear explanations of the basic elements of ship operations and commercial, legal, economic, technical, managerial, logistical, and financial aspects of shipping.’ Dr Jiangang Fei, National Centre for Ports & Shipping, Australian Maritime College, University of Tasmania, Australia ‘Branch’s Elements of Shipping provides the reader with the best all-round examination of the many elements of the international shipping industry. This edition serves as a fitting tribute to Alan Branch and is an essential text for anyone with an interest in global shipping.’ David Adkins, Lecturer in International Procurement and Supply Chain Management, Plymouth Graduate School of Management, Plymouth University ‘Combining the traditional with the modern is as much a challenge as illuminating operations without getting lost in the fascination of the technical detail. This is particularly true for the world of shipping! Branch’s Elements of Shipping is an ongoing example for mastering these challenges. With its clear maritime focus it provides a very comprehensive knowledge base for relevant terms and details and it is a useful source of expertise for students and practitioners in the field.’ Günter Prockl, Associate Professor, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark This page intentionally left blank Branch’s Elements of Shipping Since it was first published in 1964, Elements of Shipping has become established as a market leader.

Conclusions- The Way Ahead A. Papanikolaou HOLISTIC SHIP DESIGN OPTIMISATION 2 Important Design Optimization Notions (1) • Holism (from Greek όλος, meaning entire, total)-holistic The properties of a system cannot be determined or explained by looking at its component parts alone; instead of, the system as a whole determines decisively how the part components behave or perform. “The whole is more than the sum of the parts” (Aristotle Metaphysics) • Reductionism-reduction: is sometimes interpreted as the opposite of holism. “A complex system can be approached by reduction to its fundamental parts” • Holism and reductionism need, for proper account of complex systems, to be regarded as complementary approaches to system analysis. • Systemic and analytical approaches are also complementary and strongly related to holism and reductionism • Risk (financial): “A quantifiable likelihood of loss or of less-than-expected returns” • Risk (general): “A quantifiable likelihood of loss of an acceptable state or of a worse-than-expected state condition” • Safety: may be defined as “An acceptable state of risk” A.
