This research has been conducted to analyze the current water production process and see if improvements in terms of energy efficiency is possible by using the optimal configuration for different sailing profiles. Water consumption on cruise vessel is higher than on non-passenger vessels. Freshwater …

Reading and writing is modelled in CSP using actions containing the sym- bols ? and !. These reading and writing actions are synchronous and there is a one- to-one relationship between occurrences of pairs of these actions. It is cumbersome to ease the restriction of synchronous execution of the read …

The Dutch Transmission System Operator (TSO) TenneT TSO B.V. is planning to build a 2 km to 4 km long 150 kV superconducting cable connection in the Dutch high voltage grid. Superconducting cable systems allow for connections with no external magnetic field which is beneficial due to society's concerns …

The production of biogas through anaerobic digestion is one of the technological solutions to convert biomass into a readily usable fuel. Biogas can replace natural gas, if the biogas is upgraded to green gas. To contribute to the EU-target to reduce Green House Gases emissions, the installed biogas …

BACKGROUND: Conflicting evidence exists on the effectiveness of routinely measured vital signs on the early detection of increased probability of adverse events. PURPOSE: To assess the clinical relevance of routinely measured vital signs in medically and surgically hospitalized patients through a systematic …

Remote maintenance activities in ITER will be performed by a unique set of hardware systems, supported by an extensive software kit. A layer of middleware will manage and control a complex set of interconnections between teams of operators, hardware devices in various operating theatres, and databases …

This research was conducted upon request of Minister Oduber of the Ministry of Tourism, Transport and Labor (MTTL). Due to traffic congestion issues Aruba has faced throughout the years, a moratorium was introduced in 1997. This ban serves as a stop on public bus1 (B), taxi (TX), tour operator (T/O) …
