...has tested and evaluated a hydromorphological (HYMO) classification system for lakes and reservoirs, published in 2018. The results revealed that applying the full set of parameters require extensive resources, and for some parameters data is hardly available. Based on the test results and the following...

...distribution, a wide tolerance of temperature and salinities, has short generation time, can produce resting eggs, and has been considered as an excellent feed for marine fish larvae. The current study included two experiments: nauplii production (NP) and egg production (EP). In the NP experiment, the...

...this combination have raised concern among scientists and authorities. This study combines new data on different SMP and codend designs with existing data from the literature to produce new results that are applied to predict the size selectivity and catch patterns of different gear combinations for a...

Sputtering (HPPMS) technology at different N2-to-Ar ratios; i.e. 0, 0.25, 0.625 and 1, corresponding to different N/Ta atomic ratio in the film, were investigated as suitable candidates to improve SS316L bipolar plate's performance and durability for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC). The corrosion...

...inorganic cores and the large number of possible organic groups that can be attached to them. The present work aims at characterizing a highly-thermoresistant POSS, the octa(aminophenyl)silsesquioxane (OAPS). This siloxane-based cage has three different isomers depending on the meta, ortho and para positions...

...roe, milt, and liver in whitefish fisheries is done manually. Automated sorting could enable higher profitability, flexibility in production and increase the potential for high value products from roe, milt and liver that can be used for human consumption. In this study, we investigate and present a solution...

Smart digital systems using artificial intelligence, machine learning, and sensing technologies are entering EU workplaces and they are redefining safety and Health (OSH). Which opportunities does this present for workers and managers? And what are the risks? EU-OSHA, under its OSH Overview project, has...

Demand for cobalt, lithium and nickel is expected to see the largest growth, due to their use for batteries in the rapidly growing electric vehicle market. In this report we address the extraction of these three minerals, their extraction processes along with their social and environmental consequences...

...technologies, but the climate change mitigation benefits and techno-economic performance remain unclear. This study performs an environmental and techno-economic analysis of biofuels from alternative forest-based feedstock using a cost-optimization and spatially explicit econometric model, different emerging...
