Measurements of dynamic elastic properties of shale exhibit dispersion at seismic frequencies as well as between seismic and ultrasonic frequencies. We point to various possible dispersion mechanisms, including viscoelasticity of bound water in the narrow pores associated with clays and squirt flow...
Hyperspectral imaging is a powerful remote sensing technology, but its use in space is limited by the large volume of data it produces, which leads to a downlink bottleneck. Therefore, most payloads to date have been oriented towards demonstrating the scientific usefulness of hyperspectral data...
Understanding the tolerance limits of fish is crucial for developing aquaculture operations that ensure good animal welfare. However, there exist little data describing the physiological responses in farmed Atlantic salmon, much because the technological tools for taking such measurements have not...
In this paper, we present the scheduling problem on a given route where speed optimization under various weather conditions is to be performed. Different approaches for calculating fuel consumption for vessels are introduced with a discussion of how this might influence the speed optimization...
Materials used in the building envelope have to withstand a wide range of varying and harsh conditions over their life cycle. Particular relevance falls upon the materials used for tightening buildings, such as wind barriers and tapes, as air infiltration was found to be responsible for between...
