Most aquaponics systems are made by hobbyists, with aquaponics not being the main source of income. As such, scholars and practitioners have long debated the real profitability of...
This research paper presents an efficient methodology for distribution network planning under an uncertain environment. As an extension of our previous work presented at the ECCE Asia 2021 conference, here optimal placement and sizing of Renewable Energy Sources (RES)-based Distributed Generations...
The shipping industry is under considerable pressure to reduce its environmental impacts and reduce its emissions. Shipping is a hard-to-adapt industry and issues of environmental upgrading are under-investigated, despite recent emerging literature. This thesis aims to contribute to the growing...
