...faced by many shipping companies dealing with the transport of bulk products. These shipping companies are committed to carrying some contract cargoes and will try to derive additional revenue from optional spot cargoes. An efficient tabu search algorithm has been developed to ensure quick decision support...

Learning and innovation are central to organisations’ development. Insights and innovative ideas occur to individuals. However, learning in organisations takes place at several levels which include individuals, groups, and the organisation itself. Thus, there is a need to enhance the transfer of insights...

Water droplets released from the sea surface represent one of the major causes of ice accretion on marine vessels. A one-dimensional model of the freezing of a spherical water droplet moving in cold air was developed. The crystallization model allows one to obtain an analytical solution if a uniform...

A kick entering a drilling riser and expanding upwards uncontrolled can lead to severe consequences such as riser unloading and riser collapse, and in the worst case a blowout scenario may evolve. If the riser is filled with water-based mud, the kick will normally migrate on its own to surface, but it...

Dissolution of alumina in industrial aluminium cells is a complicated process, not least because it involves formation of agglomerates, and it involves mass- and heat transfer phenomena taking place simultaneously. In the present study, the diffusion coefficient of alumina in cryolitic melts was measured...

...2017–2020, including 175 defect cases registered in 125 reports. The main goal is to understand the primary causes of process induced building defects today and which building elements may be considered as risk spots. The review shows that almost 3 of 4 defects is related to moisture, caused by sources as precipitation...

...systems relevant to scientific and engineering applications include multiple spatiotemporal scales and comprise a multifidelity problem sharing an interface between various formulations or heterogeneous computational entities. To this end, we present a robust hybrid analysis and modeling approach combining...

MOFs have been characterized using standard inorganic/organic characterization tools such as pXRD, TGA, liquidand solid state NMR, SEM-EDS, static anddynamic gas adsorption.Potentially strong adsorption sites on the Pt–Zr interface was investigated by the use of TAP. The isosteric heat of adsorption have...
