Fraud in food supply chains is a severe threat to food safety and sustainability. Mitigating it requires effective mechanisms to ensure transparency and traceability along food supply chains with several autonomous and distributed actors. Recent research shows that algorithm governance can be a...
Toxicology studies in early fish life stages serve an important function in measuring the impact of potentially harmful substances, such as crude oil, on marine life. Morphometric analysis of larvae can reveal the effects of such substances in retarding growth and development. These studies are...
The fatigue damage prediction is a challenging issue in the design and maintenance phases of unbonded flexible pipes. This arises from the necessity of conducting numerous numerical analyses, encompassing both global performance and local structural assessments, to determine the long-term fatigue...
While plastic chemicals are key drivers of observed effects to aquatic species, there remains a lack of standardized and fit-for-purpose approaches for experimentally deconvoluting the effects of plastic chemicals from particle effects. This study investigated differences in chemical composition...
In different trap fisheries worldwide, escape openings are often used to improve size and species selectivity by reducing bycatch. The selectivity efficiency of escape openings depends on their shape and size designed according to the target species morphology. However, the efficiency also depends...
The aim of the present study is to propose an engineering approach of designing suspended inter-array power cable configuration for offshore wind farms. To achieve this, a spar type and a semi-submersible type floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) are modeled in the dynamic analysis software...
In December 2022, representatives adopted the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). The overarching goal of the agreement is to halt biodiversity loss and restore natural ecosystems – and a much-cited target is the “30x30” target of protecting and restoring 30% of Earth by 2030. Salt...
Application of robotics on production lines often involves handling flexible objects (such as items of natural origin or plastic bags containing liquid/bulk substances), which makes it crucial to consider the shape of an item before and after it has been affected by robotic manipulation. Most of the...
For safe and cost-effective design, optimization, and operation of CO2 capture, transport, and storage (CCS) processes, accurate viscosity and density data of CO2-rich mixtures are required. Currently, there are large knowledge gaps in these properties, and it needs to be addressed for building good...
