...institutional differences that need to be identified to promoteconstructive and synergistic research. We study how established toolchains of computer models are organized to assist operational hydro-power scheduling in Brazil, Norway, and the United States’Colorado River System (CRS). These three systems have...

...opportunities for increased profit and reduced emissions and cost by service differentiation within container shipping. Traditionally the strategy among the container lines has been profit maximization by utilizing economies of scale through the building of larger and faster vessels. In 2008, the financial...

...non-invasive and non-destructive NMR techniques to contribute to a further understanding of fish tissue composition and its characteristics. Moreover, it aims at investigating the water dynamics and the distribution of fat and salt in fish as affected by species, raw material quality and processing from...

...study of the weathering properties of Gullfaks A blend and Gullfaks C blend crude oils, has been performed at 5°C and 13°C in laboratory scale. The data are used as input to SINTEF Oil Weathering Modell to predict the behaviour of the Gullfaks A and C blends in a spill situation at sea. The weathering...

Rested Atlantic salmon was superchilled in seawater slurry (−1.93 ± 0.27 °C). The chilling efficiencies of slurry and crushed ice were compared. The feasibility of using slurry to produce subzero core temperatures before packing was also evaluated. Simulated transport to market, with or without ice after...

...specimen. Then the specimen was exposed to constant tension and dynamic curvature by means of a bellmouth and the stresses were measured. Realizing that the geometry of the umbilical cross section was too complex to apply full 3D modeling, a beam and penalty contact modeling procedure was applied to describe...

...report is a summary of meetings, activities and ideas from the 2018 combined RE-food symposium and ReValue open-day conducted in Mumbai November 2018. The annual meeting is organized to disseminate research, innovation and education results achieved by the RE-food and ReValue projects, as well as to serve...

...aquaculture fish farm system in both regular and irregular waves is investigated by numerical simulations and model tests. The main purpose is to develop a reliable numerical tool and in this respect to investigate the survival conditions of the system. The structural and hydrodynamic modelings of the system...

...investigate sorption kinetics and present adsorption isotherms for two PAHs (fluoranthene and phenanthrene) to MP in natural seawater at 10 and 20 °C. Spherical polyethylene (PE) and polystyrene (PS) microbeads of 10 µm and 100 µm were used, representing ingestible and non-ingestible particle sizes for...

...the shipment of temperature-sensitive goods. In a country as large and geographically diverse as India, refrigerated road transport is crucial for the safe circulation of fresh and frozen perishables. The need for reliable and efficient cooling technology for urban deliveries increases rapidly...

Controlled environment agriculture (CEA) and vertical farming (VF) represent possible solutions to provide food for a growing population using fewer resources. However, research is still necessary to make this type of production affordable on an industrial scale. The price for the final consumer is not...
