...performance of such technologies is, therefore, difficult. This raises the question if these technologies can be applied on larger ships that need approval and safety certification. The issue gains further complexity when introduced as an element in remote control centres. This paper presents an overview of...
It is crucial to ensure that stored CO2 does not leak into the atmosphere. As the last step in the Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) process, CO2 is injected into underground formations, and it should remain stored there for eternity. However, when reusing old petroleum wells for CO2 storage, defects in...
Friction and wear of polymers at the nanoscale is a challenging problem due to the complex viscoelastic properties and structure. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate how a graphene sheet on top of the semicrystalline polymer polyvinyl alcohol affects the friction and wear. Our setup...
Background: Pregnancy, infancy, and childhood are sensitive windows for environmental exposures. Yet the health effects of exposure to nano- and microplastics (NMPs) remain largely uninvestigated or unknown. Although plastic chemicals are a well-established research topic, the impacts of plastic particles...
...ship lifecycle inspection, analysis and condition information (LIACI). It contains 1893 images with pixel annotations for ten object categories: defects, corrosion, paint peel, marine growth, sea chest gratings, overboard valves, propeller, anodes, bilge keel and ship hull. The images have been collected...
The open international standards for exchange of information (Information Foundation Classes, IFC) and the definitions of what to be exchanged (International Framework for Dictionaries, IFD) are emerging as the new standards in building information modelling. Together with an emerging third standard...
We have calculated fundamental properties of pure and hydrogen-covered (010), (101), (100) and (001) surfaces of the low temperature monoclinic phase of LaNbO4 (LN). The (010) surface was the most stable one, exhibiting electronic structure and local geometric configurations similar to bulk. As the first...
...the systems and at the same time reduce costs and improve time to market. This chapter provides an overview of MDE, state of the art approaches, standards, resources, and tools that support different aspects of model-driven software engineering: language development, modeling services, and real-time applications...
...method for direct streamline tracing on polygon and polytope cells. While some numerical methods provide a basis function that can be used for interpolation, other methods provide only the fluxes at the faces of the elements. We introduce the concept of full- and raw-field methods. Full-field methods have...
An experimental study of the oxygen non-stoichiometry and redox thermodynamics of LaMn1 − xCoxO3 ± δ (x = 0.25 and 0.75) is presented. The system shows partial solid solubility of LaCoO3 in LaMnO3 and vice versa. While both samples consist of two phases at room temperature, quenching experiments show...
