Boat buildingBoat building is the design and construction of boats and their systems. This includes at a minimum a hull, with propulsion, mechanical, navigation, safety and other systems as a craft requires. Wood is the traditional boat building material used for hull and spar construction. It is buoyant, widely available and easily worked. It is a popular material for small boats (of e.g. length; such as dinghies and sailboats). Its abrasion resistance varies according to the hardness and density of the wood and it can deteriorate if fresh water or marine organisms are allowed to penetrate the wood.
Dôme géodésiqueEn architecture, un dôme géodésique est une structure sphérique, ou partiellement sphérique, en treillis dont les barres suivent les grands cercles (géodésiques) de la sphère. L'intersection des barres géodésiques forme des éléments triangulaires qui possèdent chacun leur propre rigidité, provoquant la distribution des forces et des tensions sur l'ensemble de la structure qui est de ce fait autoporteuse, laissant l'intérieur entièrement disponible (pas de piliers).
SeashellA seashell or sea shell, also known simply as a shell, is a hard, protective outer layer usually created by an animal or organism that lives in the sea. The shell is part of the body of the animal. Empty seashells are often found washed up on beaches by beachcombers. The shells are empty because the animal has died and the soft parts have decomposed or been eaten by another animal. A seashell is usually the exoskeleton of an invertebrate (an animal without a backbone), and is typically composed of calcium carbonate or chitin.
Construction navaleLa construction navale est le processus par lequel un bateau ou un navire est fabriqué et assemblé. On parle aussi de construction maritime ou de construction nautique (plutôt pour de petits bateaux). La construction est un des processus de l'acquisition d'un navire, suivant la conception détaillée dans l'article architecture navale. Elle se réalise dans un chantier naval. La construction navale ancienne nous a laissé très peu de documentation précise sur les techniques employées par le passé.
Lange modelThe Lange model (or Lange–Lerner theorem) is a neoclassical economic model for a hypothetical socialist economy based on public ownership of the means of production and a trial-and-error approach to determining output targets and achieving economic equilibrium and Pareto efficiency. In this model, the state owns non-labor factors of production, and markets allocate final goods and consumer goods.
