Design and Verification of Large-Diameter Tower Sharding Platform for Wind Turbine by Jiawen LAN, Qianjun ZHAI, Zhongze SUN, Xiongbin WAN

“…With the increase of the diameter of the tower barrel, the diameter of the platform inside the tower barrel will also increase, and the weight will increase correspondingly, resulting in an increase in cost. At the same time, the diameter of the platform in the tower barrel increases, if the traditional platform beam is used, the welding part of the platform beam with the barrel is easy to cause a large stress concentration, and the structural failure is easy to occur, resulting in heavy losses. …”

Increasing Cattle Herd Size or Density in C₃ Grass–Legume Meadows Reduces Dietary Quality by John Derek Scasta, Fernando Forster Furquim

“…Structural equation modeling (SEM) that mediated time (i.e., Day of Year) rendered all animal number or density variables as significant predictors for CP and DOM (negative estimates) and for DOM:CP (positive estimate), indicating that congregating animals in larger groups and/or greater densities, even in meadows with high-quality forage species, may reduce post-ingestive diet quality estimates by −1.2% and −2.0 for CP and DOM for every +100 animals or for every +10 animals per hectare. …”
