走在路上,突然有“蚊子”或“小虫”从眼前掠过;盯着电脑屏幕,总感觉有模糊的阴影在视野里漂浮……这种恼人的现象,困扰着全世界数以百万计的人。在眼科医学中,这些飞舞的阴影被称为玻璃体混浊(Vitreous Opacities),俗称飞蚊症(Floaters)或更诗意的法语名字“Mouches Volantes”(飞舞的苍蝇)。尽管绝大多数飞蚊症是良性的,但据统计,约有三分之一的患者会感到视觉受到显著影响,甚至引发焦虑和抑郁等心理问题。

This paper compares the performance of the XFloater concept with other FOWT designs, such as spar-buoy and semi-submersible systems. The authors evaluate the systems' responses to various environmental conditions and discuss their advantages and disadvantages.
