Analysis of the turning circle manoeuvre from the point of view of an efficient managing of the main engine
(Spanish Society of Maritime Research (SEECMAR), 2010-08)The purpose of this paper is to study the influence of the 360 deg turn in theeconomy of the voyage and to find out the maximum efficiency by means of themain engine’s procedure. Moreover ... -
Angle of loll calculation by cubic spline
(Spanish Society of Maritime Research (SEECMAR), 2013)Several years ago the Basque Government supported the programming of the software ARKITSAS in order to provideall existing vessels with a specific software to calculate stability, cargo and longitudinal strength data. The ... -
Determining Flinders' bar correction by heeling the ship
(Spanish Society of Maritime Research (SEECMAR), 2013)The aim of this article is to provide the compass adjuster with an innovative method of determining thelength of Flinders’ bar while the ship’s latitude remains unaltered. In this way the definitive compass ad-justment may ... -
Determining the likelihood of incidents caused by human error during dynamic positioning drilling operations
(Cambridge University Press, 2021-03-23)[EN] The probability of a human-caused incident occurring during dynamic positioning (DP) drilling operations is determined in this paper using binary logistic regression models built with data on 42 incidents that took ... -
Experimental and Numerical Modeling of Aerosol Delivery for Preterm Infants
(MDPI, 2018-03)Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) represents one of the major causes of mortality among preterm infants, and the best approach to treat it is an open research issue. The use of perfluorocarbons (PFC) along with non-invasive ... -
Experimental Evaluation of Perfluorocarbon Aerosol Generation with Two Novel Nebulizer Prototypes
(MDPI, 2019-01-05)The potential of non-invasive ventilation procedures and new minimally invasive techniques has resulted in the research of alternative approaches as the aerosolization for the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome ... -
Experiments on a lab scale TES unit using eutectic metal alloy as PCM
(Elsevier, 2015-05)The behavior of a magnesium and zinc eutectic metal alloy used as thermal energy storage (TES) material is tested in a laboratory scale TES unit. The TES unit consists of two concentric tubes with the central tube surrounded ... -
Fibre–Wood Laminate Biocomposites: Seawater Immersion Effects on Flexural and Low Energy Impact Properties
(MDPI, 2022-09-27)The present paper explores a new concept of a hybrid eco-composite by substituting the natural fibre plies with thin wood veneers. The new composite, named Fibre–Wood Laminate (FWL), is inspired by fibre–metal ... -
In Vitro Surfactant and Perfluorocarbon Aerosol Deposition in a Neonatal Physical Model of the Upper Conducting Airways
(Public Library Science, 2014-09-11)Objective: Aerosol delivery holds potential to release surfactant or perfluorocarbon (PFC) to the lungs of neonates with respiratory distress syndrome with minimal airway manipulation. Nevertheless, lung deposition in ... -
Latitude error in compass deviation: mathematical method to determine the latitude error in magnetic compass deviation
(Gdansk University of Technology, 2014-10)This article aims to provide the seafarer with a tool to calculate the deviation for a righted ship in any geographical position using only the information available on board. In this way the accidental errors in the ... -
Methodological Design Optimization of a Marine LNG Internal Combustion Gas Engine to Burn Alternative Fuels
(MDPI, 2023-06-08)Marine emission policies are becoming more demanding; thus, ship propulsion and power generation technologies need to be adapted to current scenarios. LNG is already considered to be a transition fuel, and new alternative ... -
