Studies of peoples’ reaction to community noise had been published since the early 1960ties, but differences in survey questions’ wordings had interfered with inter-survey comparisons. In 1993 an ICBEN team set the goal of creating high-quality survey questions that would yield internationally...

Shortening codend lastridge ropes can be an effective fishing gear modification to improve the size selection properties in diamond mesh codends. Lastridge ropes attached to codend selvedges withstand the longitudinal forces created by the catch building up and therefore, prevent the codend meshes...

A condensate oil system was evaluated with respect to its hydrate properties by two experimental methods, namely, the wetting index (WI) procedure and a flow loop called the wheel flow loop. The WI was used to initially indicate the efficiency of a gas hydrate antiagglomerant (AA), while the wheel...

Many ocean structures located offshore are supported by large vertical concrete columns. High and steep storm waves – in the process of breaking – may induce large local slamming loads on these columns. The present work is related to the fundamental physics of the local hydroelastic shell response...

Low-cost, micron-sized particles still pose a barrier to their use in thin-film composite mixed-matrix membranes (TFC-MMMs) owing to their poor interfacial contact with the polymer matrix. Also, the particles are too large to be fabricated into the submicron-thick membranes. Herein, we report high...

This work studies the impact of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) for oil spill detection and localization in Subsea Production Systems. The case study is the Goliat FPSO, with a realistic assumption about the presence of a WSN built upon the existing passive acoustic sensors installed on each subsea...

Big data pipelines are developed to process data characterized by one or more of the three big data features, commonly known as the three Vs (volume, velocity, and variety), through a series of steps (e.g., extract, transform, and move), making the ground work for the use of advanced analytics...
