Microplastic (MP; 1-5000 µm) and nanoplastic (NP; <1 µm) particles observed in the natural environment are typically (i) irregular-shaped, (ii) partially degraded, (iii) a wide range of polymer types, (iv) a continuum of sizes, shapes and densities, and (v) a reservoir for complex mixtures of plastic-associated...

...ships are said to be an enabler for modal shift in Europe, they require a broader transformation of the transport and business ecosystems to be effective. That is, current logistics paradigms and rapid advancements in zero-emission road transport may inadvertently incentivise a shift away from waterborne...

...the major aging mechanism in wet-designed cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) cables causing a reduced lifetime. Several factors affect the initiation and growth of water trees. Without the presence of an electrical field, contaminants or moisture above a certain level, no water trees are observed. In addition...

...study, a novel simulation-based algorithm for CO₂ ejector design and performance evaluation is presented. The algorithm is based on an automated Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) workflow that can account for different ejector geometries and operating conditions. The CFD data points are used to train a...

...for different particle sizes, particle conductivities, temperature gradients and for Reynolds numbers between 100 and 1600. This is the first such study performed using Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS), where all temporal and spatial scales of the fluid are resolved. Simulations are performed using the...

Increasing the impact of software engineering research in the software industry and the society at large has long been a concern of high priority for the software engineering community. The problem of two cultures, research conducted in a vacuum (disconnected from the real world), or misaligned time...

...condition monitoring and condition prognostics become necessary to avoid excessive operation and maintenance costs while ensuring reliable operation. Corrosion, and in particular uniform corrosion, is a leading cause of failure for Offshore Wind Turbine (OWT) structures due to the harsh and highly corrosive...

...obtain a starting material intended for use as wound dressings. The physico-chemical properties of the membranes were monitored and the results showed a good swelling capacity and water vapor transmission rate of the membranes. Optical characterization data showed that chitosan-based membranes could provide...

The developments of reduced manning on offshore facilities and increased information transfer from offshore to land continue and may also be a prerequisite for the future survival of the oil and gas industry. A general requirement from the operators has emerged in that all relevant information from offshore-located...
