As the oil and gas industry is developing new and more difficult fields, new challenges are encountered and must be solved. Pipeline and riser technology must be developed to handle increasingly deeper water, high temperature, multi-phase flow situations, wax and hydrate problems and large deformation...
...life, and its demand is continuously increasing with the rapid growth in population, while the freshwater reserves are also depleting. A large amount of wastewater is released by different industries, which is affecting the environment as well as polluting the freshwater reserves. Recycling and treatment...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are bioaccumulative and associated with adverse effects in both wildlife and humans. The occurrence of 33 PFASs was assessed in the plasma, liver, blubber, and brain of 18 Baikal seals (Phoca sibirica) (16 pups and 2 adult females) from Lake Baikal, Russia...
... CHARISMA, and Easi-stress - organised a collaborative workshop to increase awareness of their contributions to the industry "commons" in terms of characterisation and digital transformation. They have established interoperability standards for knowledge management in characterisation and introduced...
...particles (TWPs) are identified as an important source of microplastics, but reported particulate emission volumes and environmental concentrations are highly variable, both spatially and temporarily. Furthermore, TWPs are known to contain a high proportion of potentially hazardous chemicals, many of...
Modern software applications are distributed and often operate in dynamic contexts, where requirements, assumptions about the environment, and usage profiles continuously change. These changes are difficult to predict and to anticipate at design time. The running software system should thus be able to...
In this second of a series of three articles, existing test methods to describe the abrasiveness of rock and soils are discussed....
