Objective and subjective criteria for assessing the light environment in vessel spaces: Application and comparison
(Universidad de Cantabria; Spanish Society of Maritime Research (SEECMAR), 2018-04-30)[Abstract]: Fatigue is a major factor in human error, which in turn a ects maritime accident rates. For this reason, conditions in the light environment present in the ship?s work and rest areas can play a role in ... -
Effects of the expanded Panama Canal on vessel size and seaborne transport
(University of Zagreb, Faculty of Transport and Traffic Engineering, 2018-05-03)[Abstract]: The Panama Canal (PC) expansion will have an impact on trading patterns and the manner in which goods are transported around the world. Once the third set of locks at the Canal began their operation, it was ... -
Complexity and Project Management: A General Overview
(Hindawi, 2018-10-10)[Abstract]: As projects have become more and more complex, there has been an increasing concern about the concept of project complexity.An understanding of project complexity and how it might be managed is of significant ... -
Economic feasibility of wave energy farms in Portugal
(MDPI, 2018-11)[Abstract]: This paper develops a methodology to determine the economic feasibility of implementing offshore wave energy farms on the Portuguese continental coast. This methodology follows several phases: the geographic ... -
Effect of multiple injection strategies on emissions and performance in the Wärtsilä 6L 46 marine engine. A numerical approach
(Elsevier, 2019-01-01)[Abstract] The present paper proposes a Computational Fluid Dynamics model to analyze the operation cycle and exhaust gas composition in a four-stroke marine diesel engine, the Wärtsilä 6L 46. Once validated, the numerical ... -
Complexity and Project Management: Challenges, Opportunities, and Future Research
(Hindawi, 2019-01-01) -
Methodology for positioning a group of green artificial reef based on a database management system, applied in the estuary of Ares-Betanzos (Nw Iberian Peninsula)
(Elsevier, 2019-10-01)[Abstract] The Galician coast, and particularly its estuaries are ecosystems with a large biological production which require protection against the strong human pressure they suffer. Sustainability in fishing, shell fishing ... -
A Review of Formulations to Design an Adhesive Single Lap-Joint for Use in Marine Applications
(Brodarski Institute, 2020)[Abstract] The single adhesive joint has many applications in the shipbuilding industry, where it offers the advantage of joining materials (adherents) with different properties and characteristics using an adhesive. ... -
Assessment of the Materials Employed in Green Artificial Reefs for the Galician Estuaries in Terms of Circular Economy
(MDPI, 2020)[Abstract] To exploit marine resources in a sustainable way, efficient management systems must be used such as green artificial reefs (GARs). These reefs are mostly made up of renewable and organic materials. When adopting ... -
Managing the oceans: Site selection of a floating offshore wind farm based on GIS spatial analysis
(Elsevier, 2020-03)[Abstract] The aim of this study is to develop a methodology for using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) spatial analysis in the development of a floating offshore wind farm. When you plan a floating offshore wind farm ... -
The Hybrid Joints between an FRP Panel and a Steel Panel through Tubular Reinforcements: A Methodology for Interlaminar Stress Calculations
(MDPI, 2020-06-07)[Abstract]: The advantages of laminates in terms of the chemical properties and mechanical properties/weight relationship have motivated several applications of fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) composites in naval constructions ... -
Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Energy Consumption of Coastal Ecosystem Enhancement Programme through Sustainable Artificial Reefs in Galicia
(MDPI, 2021)[Abstract] The principle of sustainability should condition a project in which artificial reefs are being installed to protect biodiversity as well as enhance costal ecosystems. In particular, this principle should be taken ... -
Modelling Operative and Routine Learning Curves in Manoeuvres in Locks and in Transit in the Expanded Panama Canal
(Cambridge University Press, 2021-05)[Abstract] Piloting in the Panama Canal is exceptional as, due to its importance, the functions of the captains of vessels are taken over by pilots. Hence, prior to inauguration of the expanded canal, a limited number of ... -
Configuration Methodology for a Green Variety Reef System (AR group) Based on Hydrodynamic Criteria – Application to the Ría de Ares-Betanzos
(Elsevier, 2021-05-05)[Abstract] For the evolution and development of artificial reefs to attain the expected results, hydrodynamics is emerging as a key factor that must be taken analyzed in detail. In particular, thanks to the hydrodynamics ... -
Erosive Degradation Study of Concrete Augmented by Mussel Shells for Marine Construction
(MDPI, 2021-10)[Abstract] This work proposes a green material for artificial reefs to be placed in Galicia (northwest Spain) taking into account the principles of circular economy and sustainability of the ecosystem. New concrete ... -
Definition of an Artificial Reef Unit through Hydrodynamic and Structural (CFD and FEM) Models—Application to the Ares-Betanzos Estuary
(MDPI, 2022)[Abstract] The application of hydrodynamics to the definition of artificial reefs is of great interest since the positioning of the artificial reef modules on the sea floor alters the water velocity field, causing an ... -
Proposed Conceptual Framework to Design Artificial Reefs Based on Particular Ecosystem Ecology Traits
(MDPI, 2022-04-28)[Abstract] Overfishing and pollution have led to marine habitat degradation, and as a result, marine fisheries are now in decline. Consequently, there is a real need to enhance marine ecosystems while halting the decline ... -
Application of residuals from purification of bivalve molluscs in Galician to facilitate marine ecosystem resiliency through artificial reefs with shells – One generation
(Elsevier, 2023-01-15)[Abstract] The seas and oceans of the planet provide a wide range of essential resources. However, marine ecosystems are undergoing severe degradation due to the unsustainable exploitation and consumption patterns of the ... -
Considerations on the programmed functional life (one generation) of a green artificial reef in terms of the sustainability of the modified ecosystem
(Elsevier. Cell Press, 2023-04)[Abstract] The installation of artificial reefs serves to enhance marine ecosystems, although it also modifies them. These changes do not have to be irreversible, since it is possible to treat the functional life of an ... -
