Beach management policy analysis concerning safety flag systems in Northern Spain
(Elsevier, 2022-10)The aim of this paper is to analyse the meaning of beach safety flags and their management along the Northern Spanish coast. There are more than 1000 small beaches, which are often in high demand by tourism during the ... -
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 ... -
Operation strategies guideline for packed bed thermal energy storage systems
(Wiley, 2018-10-14)Packed bed thermal energy storage (TES) systems have been identified in the last years as one of the most promising TES alternatives in terms of thermal efficiency and economic viability. The relative simplicity of this ... -
Prediction of Loss of Position during Dynamic Positioning Drilling Operations Using Binary Logistic Regression Modeling
(MDPI, 2021-01-29)The prediction of loss of position in the offshore industry would allow optimization of dynamic positioning drilling operations, reducing the number and severity of potential accidents. In this paper, the probability of ... -
Research on an internal combustion engine with an injected pre-chamber to operate with low methane number fuels for future gas flaring reduction
(Elsevier, 2022-08)Flaring gas is the action of burning waste crude natural gas that is not possible to process or sell during the extraction and processing of oil and gas extraction. However, the surge of the oil and gas (O&G) fields caused ... -
Research on the new combustion chamber design to operate with low methane number fuels in an internal combustion engine with pre-chamber
(Elsevier, 2023-07)Gas flaring is the burning process of unwanted raw natural gas (NG) that cannot be processed during the oil and gas extraction and process operations. This research work aims to continue with the experimental prototyping ... -
Surfactant Nebulization Therapy During NIPPV Ventilation in Surfactant-Deficient Newborn Piglets
(Wiley, 2021-07)Background In recent years, nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) has been growing in popularity as a form of noninvasive ventilation for respiratory support in the initial treatment of neonates with ...
