Teachers’ Perception of the Gender Gap in STEAM Subjects in Pre-University Stages
(MDPI, 2024)[Abstract] The term STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) is associated with a promising pedagogical approach to improve the development of students at different educational stages. Degrees linked ... -
The decarbonisation of the maritime sector: Horizon 2050
(University of Zagreb, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture, 2024)[Abstract] The decarbonisation of the maritime sector is one of the world's priorities to reduce the volume of polluting emissions. The basis of this decarbonisation is the adaptation of existing ships to emission control ... -
The Effect of Circadian Rhythms on Shipping Accidents
(Cambridge University Press [University Publisher], Royal Institute of Navigation [Associate Organisation], 2021)[Abstract] It is a well-known fact that humans are subject to circadian alterations caused by the action of sunlight. This strongly affects their behaviour and skill, making them change their level of alertness from high ... -
The Influence of Climate Parameters on Maintenance of Wind Farms: A Galician Case Study
(MDPI, 2021)[Abstract] There are different monitoring procedures in wind farms with two main objectives: (i) to improve energy production by the capability of the national electrical network and (ii) to reduce the stooped hours due ... -
The Limitations on the Use of the IMO CSS Code in Project Cargo—Case Study: Grillage Design for the Sea Transport of Gas Slug Catchers
(MDPI AG, 2020-04-29)[Abstract] Heavy cargo units with a relatively reduced footprint area require a support surface large enough to transfer the forces onto the largest possible surface and/or the main stiffening (longitudinal and transverse) ... -
Thermo-economic analysis of green hydrogen production onboard LNG carriers through solid oxide electrolysis powered by organic Rankine cycles
(Elsevier, 2025)[Abstract] LNG carriers play a crucial role in the shipping industry meeting the global demand for natural gas (NG). However, the energy losses resulting from the propulsion system and the excess boil-off gas (BOG) cannot ... -
Thermo-Economic Comparison between Three Different Electrolysis Technologies Powered by a Conventional Organic Rankine Cycle for the Green Hydrogen Production Onboard Liquefied Natural Gas Carriers
(MDPI, 2024)[Abstract] The high demand for natural gas (NG) worldwide has led to an increase in the size of the LNG carrier fleet. However, the heat losses from this type of ship’s engines are not properly managed, nor is the excess ... -
Thermodynamic and Economic Analyses of Zero-Emission Open Loop Offshore Regasification Systems Integrating ORC with Zeotropic Mixtures and LNG Open Power Cycle
(MDPI, 2022)[Abstract] The present study provides an energy, exergy and economic analysis of a seawater regasification system (open loop) combining stages of simple organic Rankine cycles (ORCs) arranged in series with an open organic ... -
Thermodynamic and Environmental Analyses of a Novel Closed Loop Regasification System Integrating ORC and CO2 Capture in Floating Storage Regasification Units
(Elsevier, 2022)[Abstract] Regasification systems in Floating Storage Regasification Units (FSRUs) that use the steam generated by the boilers as the heat source (closed loop) in the liquefied natural gas (LNG) regasification process are ... -
Transition to Zero Energy and Low Carbon Emission in Residential Buildings Located in Tropical and Temperate Climates
(MDPI, 2021)[Abstract] Different methods to achieve zero-energy and low carbon on the scale of a building are shown by most of the research works. Despite this, the recommendations generally offered by researchers do not always ... -
Wind turbines design corrections for next Galicia climatic conditions
(Sharif University of Technology, 2017)[Abstract] Galicia, placed in northwest of Spain, is a clear example of global wind energy development as a consequence of its climate conditions. Despite this fact, previous research works have indicated a climate change ... -
Work-Related Accidents in the Maritime Transport Sector
(Cambridge University Press, 2007)[Abstract] This article is partially based on the Doctoral thesis (Reference 1) entitled (in English) Working aboard and job-related accidents: Health and safety conditions on merchant vessel. Divided into four sections, ... -
Working Conditions On Maritime Transport: Comparative Survey BetweenGalician Professionals And Spanish Shipping Companies
(Universidad de Cantabria. ETS de Náutica, 2015)[Abstract] The last report on the evolution of maritime workforce published by BIMCO in 2010 places the offi-cers’ current deficit in almost 14000. This data shows a trustworthy and growing problem of shortageof qualified ...
