We showcase geospatial heuristic methods for network design and optimization. We propose and adapt graph algorithms to achieve optimal (or close to optimal) fluid transportation networks meeting quantifiable criteria (such ...

Maritime transportation plays a central role in international trade, being responsible for the majority of long-distance shipments in terms of volume. One of the key aspects in the planning of maritime transportation systems ...

Optical constituents in the ocean are often categorized as water, phytoplankton, sediments and dissolved matter. However, the optical properties of seawater are influenced, to some degree, by scattering and absorption by ...

This paper presents an approach for controlling ofshore hybrid power systems consisting of gas turbines, offshore wind, and batteries for satisfying an exogenous power demand. A hierarchical controller is developed comprising ...

Mg batteries are one of several new battery technologies expected to partially substitute lithium-based batteries in the future due to the lower cost and higher safety. However, the development of Mg batteries has been ...

Fatigue life is known to be dependent on the surface properties of the material. Surface roughness provokes local stress concentration and cause crack initiation even at minute cyclic loads. In laser powder bed fusion, ...

We present, what to our best knowledge, is the most accurate numerical investigation of the wind tunnel tests carried out over a model wind turbine (known as NTNU Blind Test) at the Norwegian University of Sciences and ...

Host density likely plays a key role in host−parasite interactions, but empirical evidence in marine ecosystems remains limited. Classical models predict a positive relationship between host density and parasite infection ...

There is currently a large amount of interest from the Waste-to-Energy (WtE) sector in Europe towards implementation of post-combustion carbon capture technology. This study gives a high level analysis of the implementation ...
