Conceptual Design of a Modular Floating Multi-Purpose Island

The design of a modular floating multi-purpose island inherently involves interaction within a group with a large range of backgrounds such as engineering, architecture, sociology, climate modeling, and more.A heuristic design approach was adopted for future island developers to make a first conceptual design.Four major design considerations were d

Synthesizing Spectra from 3D Radiation Hydrodynamic Models of Massive Stars Using Monte Carlo Radiation Transport

Observations indicate that turbulent motions are present on most massive star surfaces.Starting from the observed phenomena of spectral lines with widths that are much larger than their thermal broadening (e.g., micro- and macroturbulence), and considering the detection of stochastic low-frequency variability (SLFV) in the Transiting Exoplanet Surv
