...aquaculture fish farm system in both regular and irregular waves is investigated by numerical simulations and model tests. The main purpose is to develop a reliable numerical tool and in this respect to investigate the survival conditions of the system. The structural and hydrodynamic modelings of the system...

...investigate sorption kinetics and present adsorption isotherms for two PAHs (fluoranthene and phenanthrene) to MP in natural seawater at 10 and 20 °C. Spherical polyethylene (PE) and polystyrene (PS) microbeads of 10 µm and 100 µm were used, representing ingestible and non-ingestible particle sizes for...

...the shipment of temperature-sensitive goods. In a country as large and geographically diverse as India, refrigerated road transport is crucial for the safe circulation of fresh and frozen perishables. The need for reliable and efficient cooling technology for urban deliveries increases rapidly...

Controlled environment agriculture (CEA) and vertical farming (VF) represent possible solutions to provide food for a growing population using fewer resources. However, research is still necessary to make this type of production affordable on an industrial scale. The price for the final consumer is not...

...research initiatives and projects addressing climate adaption in management operation and maintenance (MOM) and upgrade of existing buildings. The aim was to identify knowledge needs and research demand necessary for decision makers to address climate adaptation in their MOM and upgrade plans. Climate...

...temperature (Trec) and mean skin temperature, and perceptual variables rate of perceived exertion, thermal sensation and time to exhaustion, were measured at submaximal and maximal intensities during graded exercise on a treadmill to exhaustion in 12 firefighters wearing protective clothing and extra mass at...

...groups and to compare the results with computational results. The experiments were conducted using a fluidized cylindrical cold bed with uniform air distribution. The three particulate materials use were zirconia, bronze, and steel, classified as Geldart A, B and D particles, respectively, and the minimum...

...two approaches to achieving this; the modular super cube-concept for school buildings and conventional building conducted in series (repetition of design and floor plans between buildings). We study the methods and evaluate the degree of success in quick project delivery, while also looking into sustainability-aspects...

Remote IT-based support and operations of offshore oil and gas installations are increasing. The technology used to support operations is changing from proprietary closed process control systems to standardize IT systems, connected to internal networks and the Internet. In addition, a network of companies...
