...turbine, on floating wind turbines. Four types of floating support structures are investigated: spar, TLP and two semi-submersibles. The fatigue damage of mechanical components inside the gearbox and main bearings is compared for different environmental conditions, ranging from cut-in to cut-out wind speeds...

Fresh and frozen‐thawed cod raw materials were subjected to brining, dry salting, and rehydration. The effects of salting and desalting on fillet water‐related properties, salt content, and salt distribution were studied using 23Na MRI, 23Na NMR, and low‐field (LF) 1H NMR. The results were compared with...

...visual data profiling in tabular data cleaning and transformation processes. Visual data profiling is the statistical assessment of datasets to identify and visualize potential quality issues. The proposed approach was implemented in a software prototype and empirically validated in a usability study to...

...renewable energy provision. We investigate these paradoxes by focusing on key controversies from the oil and gas sector and onshore wind power. Despite the widespread interest in avoiding conflict and increasing public acceptance, this article sees controversies as useful sites for uncovering justice issues...

Much effort has been devoted to developing, constructing and refining fish passage facilities to enable target species to pass barriers on fluvial systems, and yet, fishway science, engineering and practice remain imperfect. In this review, 17 experts from different fish passage research fields (i...

...selling both energy and reserve capacity in a competitive market setting. A mathematical model based on stochastic dynamic programming is used to compute the water values for the system considering different power plant configurations. The uncertainties in inflow and both energy and reserve capacity prices...

...the most valuable food products due to its high content of marine fat and proteins. The Norwegian pelagic fish industry processes almost 900 000 tonnes of herring and mackerel annually. The main volume is packed in carton boxes and frozen on shelves in batch freezing tunnels. Most of the refrigeration...
