Representing the entire operational range of an ocean-going vessel with linear equations is often a formidable task. In this research study, a datadriven localized model is presented for ship performance prediction as a part of the digital twin development. For this purpose, different operational...
Winter Road Maintenance (WRM) ensures road mobility and safety by mitigating adverse weather conditions. Yet, it is costly and environmentally impactful. Balancing these expenses, impacts, and benefits is challenging. Simulating winter maintenance services offers a potential new tool to find this...
Although the public health emergency related to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has officially ended, many software developers still work partly from home. Agile teams that coordinate their office time foster a sense of unity, collaboration, and cohesion among team members. In...
In this study, a contextual analysis of the CO2 reduction potential by using black pellets for energy production in Romania was performed. Black pellets have similar fuel properties to that of coal, thus representing a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative for power generation. To...
Considering the role that offshore storage is expected to play in deploying carbon capture and storage, enabling cost-efficient and flexible solutions for transporting to relevant storage locations will be crucial. While pipeline and ship-based approaches have long been considered the most...
Despite decades of the digitization of the construction industry, interoperability challenges prevail. One of which is the lack of sufficient integration between domain-specific BIM models. Therefore, the paper proposes a novel methodology for federating cross-domain BIM-based knowledge graphs. The...
Objective: Ultrasound-triggered bubble-mediated local drug delivery has shown potential to increase therapeutic efficacy and reduce systemic side effects, by loading drugs into the microbubble shell and triggering delivery of the payload on demand using ultrasound. Understanding the behavior of the...
Recent climate studies forecast violent weather events with impact on the safety of maritime transportation. For example, harsh weather may result in system failures such as blackouts or loss of steering capability. Problems met when performing planned maintenance at sea may lead to adverse events...
The normative concept of creativity involves imagination, originality, and intentionality, and while it is not always used for good, it is typically considered as a virtue (Gaut & Kieran, 2018). This is especially true in the profession of architecture, where creativity is central to the work toward...
I denne veilederen beskriver vi hva som må vurderes ved prosjektering av vanntåke som automatisk brannslokkesystem i bygninger, og hvordan det kan gjøres. Veilederen behandler både det tekniske anlegget og brannsikkerheten i bygningen. Videre beskriver vi kriterier for anleggets egenskaper og...
