In this article, we present the first large-scale data set for underwater ship lifecycle inspection, analysis and condition information (LIACI). It contains 1893 images with pixel annotations for ten object categories: defects, corrosion, paint peel, marine growth, sea chest gratings, overboard...

A low-power infrared source based on a silicon photonic-crystal membrane has been designed. Temperature distribution and reflection spectrum has been simulated. Large narrowband IR absorption is obtained with optimal material doping...

Noise is a major challenge in the petroleum industry. Prior to performing work in a noisy area, the noise map is the tool for assessing noise exposure when planning and performing work. The aim of this paper is to present an ongoing R&D project to develop a wireless noise monitoring system that...

Large-scale storage of CO₂ in saline aquifers is considered an essential technology to mitigate CO₂ emissions. Storage potential has mainly been estimated based on volumetrics or detailed simulations for specific injection scenarios. In practice, achievable storage capacity will depend on...

Modern software-based services increasingly rely on a highly heterogeneous and dynamic interconnection of platforms and devices offering a wide diversity of capabilities ranging from cloud server with virtually unlimited resources down to microcontrollers with only a few KB of RAM. This paper...

We applied response surface methodology to understand the effect and extend of carbon catabolite repression (CCR) on growth of Clostridium beijerinckii NCIMB 8052 using xylose and glucose as representative lignocellulosic sugars. We performed batch growth experiments based on the central composite...

Lignocellulose materials, essentially consisting of lignin, cellulose and hemicelluloses, are abundant sources of fermentable sugars. The bast fiber of Crotalaria juncea (Sunn hemp), a native cover crop of India, was used as feedstock for this study. The primary objective of this study was to add...

Objective To study mortality and readmissions for older patients admitted during more and less busy hospital circumstances. Design Cohort study where we identified patients that were admitted to the same hospital, during the same month and day of the week. We estimated effects of inflow of acute...
