...coupling errors and, hence, the accuracy of co-simulation results. We propose a novel energy-conservation-based co-simulation method (ECCO) for adaptive macro step size control to improve accuracy and efficiency. In contrast to most other co-simulation algorithms, this method is non-iterative and only requires...

This paper introduces and studies a real in-port ship routing and scheduling problem faced by chemical shipping companies. We show that this problem can be modeled as a Traveling Salesman Problem with Pickups and Deliveries, Time Windows and Draft Limits (TSPPD-TWDL). We propose a mathematical formulation...

...activity and protein oxidation in chilled, superchilled and frozen mackerel fillets during storage were studied. The solubility of sarcoplasmic proteins was quite stable in mackerel samples for all storage experiments, whereas the solubility of myofibrillar proteins decreased in both superchilled and frozen...

...impact of using a specific fishing gear and when comparing two or more gears. In this context, it is relevant to have a method that describes the total catch and quantifies proportions of the catch being wanted and unwanted. In this study, we outline such a method and demonstrate its applicability to catch...

...chemical characterisation and toxicity of low energy water accommodated fractions (LE-WAF) prepared of crude oils and their residues after in situ burning (ISB). The Alaska North Slope (ANS) crudes Alpine and North Star were used, and the chemical herders Thickslick 6535 (TS-6535) and Siltech OP-40 (OP-40)...

...regarding ecotoxicity exists. The current study assessed acute and sub-lethal toxicity in sensitive early life stages (ELS) of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) exposed to 200 kDa APAM under controlled laboratory conditions. Two experiments (screening and long-term study) were conducted covering ecologically relevant...

...several modular floating hydrocarbon storage tanks (FHSTs) surrounded by floating barges with compliant mooring system. Hydrodynamic loads on the FHST and its dynamic response are important for the global design. To validate the concept of the single FHST, model tests at 1:48.7 scale is performed in the...

...limited evidence supporting the low sustainable adoption of eHealth in low- and middle-income countries. Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the facilitators and barriers to the sustainable use of eHealth solutions in low- and middle-income nations. Methods: A qualitative descriptive exploratory...

...would be measure to avoid future over-harvesting and ensure a constant market supply. Methods: However, knowledge gaps in reproductive biology needs to be filled to allow setting up rearing protocols. Results: We investigated effects of temperature and salinity on embryonic development by incubating eggs...

This thesis explores drivers and barriers to implementing carbon capture and storage in the waste to energy industry, and how this transformation is affected by contextual factors and preconditions. Additionally, it explores the role and strategy of actors involved in the transition. It has an emphasis...
