Herein, hydrogen uptake and diffusivity in X65 pipeline steel were investigated using the permeation technique under different hydrogen charging conditions. Hydrogen charging was performed using hydrogen gas at different pressures, and electrochemical charging was performed at different cathodic...

The main objective of this activity is to conduct a value chain analysis for assessing the potential of using black pellets instead of coal for energy production in Romania. The landscape of biomass production in Romania has grown increasingly competitive due to the rising demand and the...

Saltmarshes have the ability to not only promote biodiversity, but to put nations on the path towards climate recovery and net-zero emissions through saltmarshes’ capability to take up carbon. As the European Union’s (EU) Green Deal sets out to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, innovative solutions...

While aquaculture production in a number of countries has been highly successful in terms of production growth, there is also a number of instances where the rapid growth has been curtailed due to sustainability challenges. In response, fostering sustainable aquaculture production has become a key...

This paper introduces a novel distance estimator using monocular vision for autonomous underwater grasping. The presented method is also applicable to topside grasping operations. The estimator is developed for robot manipulators with a monocular camera placed near the gripper. The fact that the...

Significant amounts of marine raw material are lost on-board the deep-sea vessels due to fast quality degradation. Optimal on-board handling and processing strategies can upgrade these resources from waste to food ingredients rich in nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids. The objective of this study...

The tailbeat frequency (TBF) together with tailbeat amplitude (TBA) of fish are tightly correlated with swimming speed. In addition, these parameters can be used as indicators of metabolic rate and general activity level, provided that appropriate calibration studies have been performed in the...

With Mobility as a Service (MaaS), a variety of transport services are offered to travellers as one integrated service via one App and with one payment. This report provides a reference architecture description for MaaS. It describes the generic stakeholder roles involved, their motivations for a...

With the development of floating wind turbines comes the need for mooring systems suitable for shallow water depths. Compliance becomes challenging for mooring systems composed of chain and wire rope. Polyester ropes can improve compliance, but the even lower stiffness of nylon may further reduce...
