TL;DR: The development of a ‘modal’ skyline is reported based on qualitative and quantitative analysis of fifteen different tourist views of three cities based on quantitative and qualitative analysis of these views.
Abstract: Urban skylines are the subject of much legislation, in the form of regulation of tall buildings. However, the relation between the purposes enshrined in regulation and actual preferences has not been empirically investigated. In order to conduct such research the relevant qualitative dimensions or variables must first be established. Once this is done, these dimensions can be quantified and varied systematically for experimental purposes. This paper reports the development of a ‘modal’ skyline based on qualitative and quantitative analysis of fifteen different tourist views of three cities.

TL;DR: A numerical model is intended to simulate the skyline behavior after a turn of logs breaks out of a "hang-up" on the ground, which uses finite difference and Runge-Kutta techniques.
Abstract: The development and experimental verification of a numerical model for the dynamic behavior of a cable logging system skyline is discussed. The model is intended to simulate the skyline behavior after a turn of logs breaks out of a "hang-up" on the ground. Output from the model may be used as a forcing function for a dynamic load on the tailspar or other component of the cable logging system.
The numerical model uses finite difference and Runge-Kutta techniques. Output from the model consists of time-histories of the fluctuations in skyline tensions. From this output the frequencies of the skyline vibrations may be determined. The model was verified by experimental data collected while operating a small cable logging system in Oregon State University's McDonald Research Forest.
