Abstract:
This paper explores the idea of how fairies were able to shape the identities of knights within the medieval time period. It will discuss two main fairies, Morgan le Fay and the fairy from Marie de France's Lanval. A history of magic is reviewed to have a better understanding of what witches and an enchantresses were like in this time period followed by a disucssion of a fairy's true role in society at that time.

Abstract:
Recent interest in environmental crises has inspired literary critics to consider how the history of ideas shapes our current ecological debates. Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream sets the stage for assessing how Renaissance attitudes towards nature have influenced current ideologies. While the play appears to be a fantasy, it reveals a relationship with nature, both physically and figuratively. The play's excursion into the woods shows an attempt to heal human relationships. Shakespeare's use of the imagery of nature argues in favor of the green world, for it is a world inhabited by shadows and shamen -- or, as Shakespeare calls them, fairies. A key element for ecocritics concerns the apparent silence of nature in literature and other cultural forms. Christopher Manes' article, "Nature and Silence," alerts readers to nature's lack of voice as a symptom of humanism, especially of theories such as the Great Chain of Being, which place nature in a subordinate role to humans, giving homo sapiens the dubious power to speak for nature. I wish to present Shakespeare's fairies as the speakers of the forest and of nature's values, according to the Early Modern period. By liberating fairies from demonic associations, Shakespeare's forest appears to us as inviting and healing. Furthermore, I argue that the pastoral tradition, which informs the Early Modern attitude towards nature, is superceded by picaresque and shamanic figures within the text. These elements allow for a subversive understanding of nature and our relationship to it. If humans adapted to their environment by developing consciousness, what has been the effect of that consciousness on their environment? Shakespeare's forest and fairies help to confront this issue because they restore human awareness to a healthy state of consciousness. By showing fairies in this light, Shakespeare provocatively proposes that humans "mend" their relationship to their surroundings as well as their own human relationships.

Abstract:
This paper addresses a practical problem: “What portion of fairing or strake coverage may be lost or damaged, before the operator must take corrective measures?” This paper explores the effect of lost fairings (the exposure length) on Vortex-Induced Vibration (VIV) of flexible cylinders. The source of data is a recent model test, conducted by SHELL Exploration and Production. A 38m long pipe model with varying amounts of fairings was tested. Response as a function of percent exposure length is reported. Unexpected results are also reported: (i) the flexible ribbon fairings used in the experiment did not suppress VIV at speeds above 1 m/s; (ii) Above 1 m/s, a competition was observed between VIV excited in the faired and bare regions of the cylinder, (iii) Unusual traveling wave behavior was documented—waves generated in the bare region periodically changed direction, and exhibited variation in VIV response frequency. The results of these tests showed that (1) the excitation on the bare and faired regions could be identified by frequency, because the faired region exhibited a much lower Strouhal number; (2) as expected, the response to VIV on the bare region increased with exposure length; (3) the response to VIV on the faired region decreased with exposure length.

Abstract:
Riser fairings are designed to rotate freely about the riser axis and to passively align with the direction of incident flow so they will effectively streamline the flow and eliminate VIV (Vortex-Induced Vibrations). This rotational degree of freedom introduces the possibility of a complex dynamic phenomenon involving coupling between the hydrodynamic forces and the fairing / riser motions (e.g. cross-flow translation and rotation). Slocum et al. reported a scaled model test of a long flexible riser model with a freely-rotating riser fairing conducted at MARINTEK at OTC-2004. At low flow speeds, the test showed the fairings to be effective. However, at higher towing velocities they became unstable resulting in high displacements at its first bending mode. This paper presents the work related to a study of effectiveness of fairings and is one of several VIV research activities NDP (Norwegian Deepwater Programme) has conducted at MARINTEK in 2002–2007. The present work is partly a follow up activity to the work reported by Slocum et al. The purpose of the present work was to study possible higher order modal response of faired risers and in particular to find out if such response can occur in higher bending modes than the first. A vertically towed instrumented riser was tested with 2 different fairing designs in uniform current profile with different towing speeds. Fairing II was identical to the one used in Slocum et al (2004) while Fairing I represents an alternative design. The riser model was 9.32m long, had diameter of 20mm and was flexible. Both bare riser configuration and full coverage of the two fairing sets were tested. This study documented first-, second- and third-mode responses at high amplitudes (instability behavior) for Fairing II. Tests with Fairing I showed that the riser was stable, but the riser vibrations were found to be similar with respect to displacement amplitudes and frequencies to the bare riser VIV.

Abstract:
Fairings have historically been known to achieve in-line drag coefficients (Cdx) of approximately 0.60 across the Reynolds number (Re) range of 100,000 to 1,000,000, typical for the offshore environment [1]. The recent development of helically grooved drill riser buoyancy was shown to achieve Cdx values of 0.65 for this Re range [2], presenting a strong alternative to fairing products especially considering the additional installation, storage and maintenance requirements of fairings. Therefore it is the purpose of this paper to investigate possible fairing designs capable of achieving even lower Cdx values where fairings can still be beneficial in further reducing drag loading. This paper proposes a non-parallel reduced chord horseshoe (RCH) fairing design and is analysed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in 3-d using the transient k-epsilon (Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes) turbulence model. The modelling approach is validated against tow tank test data of a previous teardrop-shaped (TD) fairing design which showed good agreement with published, peer-reviewed literature. It was found CFD simulations with axially continuous fairings provide artificially low Cdx values due to the absence of fairing end-effects and gaps between fairing sections. In essence, an infinitely long and uninterrupted fairing in the riser axial dimension is not realistic. Incorporation of this discontinuity sees a significant increase in Cdx compared to the axially continuous fairing configuration. Although this is the case, it was found Cdx of approximately 0.48 or lower is achievable for the entire offshore Re range for the discontinuous fairing configuration (assuming a chord/diameter ratio of 2.0). Larger chord/diameter ratios would provide lower Cdx at the cost of a longer chord length which may impact fairing installation efficiency. Longer axial lengths would also achieve lower Cdx but with the risk of flutter instability. This development in RCH fairing design sees a possible option for further fairing applicability to offshore drilling operations where lower drag is desirable beyond that offered by the helically grooved buoyancy.

Abstract:
An analysis of galloping of two different types of riser fairings is presented. The first is named “long fairing” (LF) and the other “Short Crab Claw” (Short CC). The first one has a traditionally winged formed shape with a cord-to-diameter ratio of 2.43. The other one is more truncated in shape, and has cord-to-diameter ratio of only 1.4. Results from two related experimental set-ups are included in the work; one 2D experiment with towing tests of fairings that are free to translate and rotate to investigate instability regions, and one 2D experiment with fixed fairings to obtain drag, moment and lift curves. The present analysis is based on two-degrees of freedom, linearized equations of motion, and predicts a range of velocities where instability occurs. Below and above this region, the fairing is stable. Damping complicates the analysis. An empirical damping model is included and discussed. The two fairing types inhibit appreciably different instability characteristics. In particular, the Short CC fairing has a narrower instability region than the long fairing, and is therefore less prone to instabilities.

Abstract:
Production risers as well as drilling risers are often subjected to Vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) when exposed to ocean currents. VIV have been observed in the field and can cause fatigue failure and excessive drag on the riser. In order to suppress VIV and reduce drag, fairings are often used. This paper presents hydrodynamic qualification tests for two types of fairings: the short crab claw (SCC) and a tapered dual fin design. The short crab claw fairing design is a novel design that was developed by the Norwegian Deepwater Programme (NDP). As will be detailed in this paper, the SCC design offers very low drag, completely suppresses VIV and reduces riser interference. In 2012, a model test campaign was undertaken to understand and qualify the hydrodynamic performance of fairings at prototype conditions. The program consisted of testing the three fairing geometries and a strake to understand the stand-alone performance in VIV and the performance in interference. This was accomplished by utilizing a single pipe setup for the standalone test and a two-pipe setup for the interference tests. The paper reports the results of the program and draws conclusions on the hydrodynamic performance of the VIV suppression devices tested. Overall, all VIV suppression devices tested were able to suppress VIV with the SCC fairing being the most effective. In all cases tested, the downstream fairings / strakes were very effective in suppressing VIV in an interference scenario where a fairing was placed upstream. Contrary to the well-documented case of two strakes in tandem, in this case the upstream fairings did not reduce the effectiveness of the downstream fairings/strakes.

Abstract:
The paper is concerned with path planning for mobile robots. Specifically, the discussion is related to the following problem: Given an ordered sequence of points on the plane, construct a path that fits these points and satisfies certain smoothness requirements. These requirements may be different in different problems and imply basically that the constructed path is to be realizable. Such a problem arises, e.g., when it is required to follow in an automated mode a path stored as a discrete set of points, which, e.g., were collected by a GPS receiver installed on a car when it followed this path for the first time. Due to errors inherent in the data points, the shape of the curve approximating the desired path turns out often inappropriate. The shape of the curve can be improved by applying the so-called fairing, which consists in moving the original data points with the aim to minimize some fairness criterion. Adequate small variations of the data points preserve the proximity of the resulting path to the original data points and make it fairer. In the paper, a new global fairing method is proposed. It reduces the problem of constructing a fair cubic B-spline curve to solving a quadratic programming problem with simple constraints. The fairing criterion is based on minimizing jumps of the spline third derivative. The discussion is illustrated by numerical examples of fairing two actual paths constructed by data points collected by a GPS/GLONASS receiver mounted on a moving vehicle.

Abstract:
In deepwater development areas of Southeast Asia, the current is strong and relatively more persistent compared to other deepwater regions. Top tensioned risers (TTR) are critical submerged components of offshore platforms, constantly exposed to currents. These currents cause unsteady flow patterns around the risers i.e. vortex shedding. When the vortex shedding frequency is near the riser’s natural frequency, undesirable resonant vibration of the riser also known as Vortex Induced Vibration (VIV) occurs. Several types of VIV suppression devices are used in the offshore industry. Among them, the U-shaped fairing claims to have the capabilities of reducing VIV effectively as well as lowering drag loads. This study investigates the effectiveness of a U-shaped fairing in suppressing riser VIV. The model test was successfully performed in a towing tank facility located at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), Johor Bahru, Malaysia. This study is a significant collaboration between a local academic institution and the offshore oil and gas industry, aligned with the industry’s initiative of increasing local capabilities for research and development. In this study, the VIV of two risers in tandem is simulated using scaled test models. The current flow is simulated by towing the vertically submerged test models with a moving carriage. The riser with fairing models are attached to a pair of custom-designed test rigs which are able to measure the forces and also allow movement of the test model during towing tests. The two test rigs are attached to a steel structure under the carriage which accommodates different tandem riser configurations and spacings. Two different sizes of risers and fairings are tested to check for Reynolds number effects. For each tandem riser configuration, three different riser conditions are tested, i.e. (a) bare risers without fairings; (b) risers with weathervaning fairings, and (c) upstream riser with fairing stuck at different orientations and downstream riser with weathervaning fairing. The test results show significant reduction in drag and VIV for the risers with weathervaning fairings in different tandem configurations. Interesting motion characteristics are shown in some of the stuck fairing cases highlighting the adverse effects should the fairings fail to perform normally in the field. Effective mitigation of VIV in risers using fairing suppression devices could lead to improved riser fatigue life and overall a more economical platform design. These benefits are highly applicable to local deepwater developments for the oil and gas industry.

Abstract:
Instability of deepwater riser with fairings is investigated in this study. Despite the advantages over other devices for suppressing vortex-induced-vibration (VIV), fairings may be susceptible to flutter type instability. A two-body mathematical model is established for the coupled transverse-torsion motion of a top tensioned riser with fairings. The inner part (riser) can only move transversely while the outer part (fairing) has transverse-torsion motion. The effect of the transverse velocity on the angle of attack is taken into account and damping is considered for both degrees of freedom. An eigenvalue analysis is employed to examine the issue of stability. The emphasis is on identifying the critical current speed for a given riser and fairing configuration. The effects of key parameters are investigated and the results indicate that the section hydrodynamic characteristics of the fairings have a significant impact on the instability.

However, RS may unintentionally capture biases related to sensitive attributes (e.g., gender) from behavioral data, leading to unfair issues and discrimination against particular groups (e.g., females). Adversarial training is a popular technique for fairness-aware RS, when filtering sensitive information in user modeling. Despite advancements in fairness, achieving a good accuracy-fairness trade-off remains a challenge in adversarial training. In this paper, we investigate fair representation learning from a novel information theory perspective. Specifically, we propose a model-agnostic Fair recommendation method via the Information Bottleneck principle FairIB. The learning objective of FairIB is to maximize the mutual information between user representations and observed interactions, while simultaneously minimizing it between user representations and sensitive attributes. This approach facilitates the capturing of essential collaborative signals in user representations while mitigating the inclusion of unnecessary sensitive information. Empirical studies on two real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed FairIB, which significantly improves fairness while maintaining competitive recommendation accuracy, either in single or multiple sensitive scenarios.

Abstract:
The Southeast Asia metocean environment is characterized by moderate wind and waves with relatively strong and persistent currents. The design of a Tension Leg Platform (TLP) for Southeast Asia is strongly affected by the current and resulting drag loads, particularly if many risers are required. To reduce vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) of offshore tubular members i.e. top tension risers (TTRs), vortex suppression devices such as helical strakes and fairings are used. This paper gives an insight into a set of riser VIV model tests which is carried out to study the effectiveness of an open-back “U”-shaped fairing in suppressing riser VIV. The splitting loads and the drag loads of the fairings are also investigated during these tests. The tests are being done at the Marine Technology Center (MTC), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) in support of this application, and also in part to increase local technological capabilities. Two sizes of risers are being tested in three configurations: (a) bare riser without any fairings; (b) riser with weathervaning fairings (normal condition) and (c) riser with fairings fixed at different headings (abnormal condition). The test results show that in the normal condition, the fairing is effective at suppressing VIV.

Abstract:
In 2019, police across Dallas County asked the District Attorney to prosecute fewer marijuana cases than the year before. This report examines whether the racial disparity in those cases improved at the same time. Fewer, Not Fairer shows that while the number of referrals declined, police were still more likely to refer a Black person for marijuana prosecution than a non-Black person. However, some cities achieved more fairness when their police departments almost entirely stopped requesting marijuana prosecutions altogether.
