Fatigue due to on board work conditions in merchant vessels
(Universidad de Catabria, Spanish Society of Maritime Research (SEECMAR), 2020)[Abstract] Several publications point to the human error like the fundamental cause of the practical whole of theaccidents. Inside these accidents, the fatigue has been identified like a recurrent cause, already was asfirst ... -
Investigación sobre técnicas docentes para marinos: Simuladores de sala de máquinas
(REDINE, Red de Investigación e Innovación Educativa,, 2020)[Resumen] En el año 2017 se inicio uno de los grupos de innovación educativa que, a nivel internacional, han llamado la atención por parte de las escuelas de Náutica y Máquinas. Dicho grupo de innovación se centra en la ... -
Design Corrections in Spanish Office Buildings to Improve Energy Efficiency in the Face of Climate Change
(MDPI, 2020)[Abstract] The majority of buildings in Europe are at present naturally ventilated and do not use heating or cooling equipment throughout the summer. However, this idea is changing and as a result heating ventilation air ... -
Heat stress on board : risk and prevention
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. Departament de Ciència i Enginyeria Nàutiques, 2020)[Abstract] The heat stress is the load of heat that a worker receives and accumulates in his body and that result of the interaction between the environmental conditions of the place where he works, the physical activity ... -
Generation of H₂ on Board Lng Vessels for Consumption in the Propulsion System
(Sciendo, 2020)[Abstract] At present, LNG vessels without reliquefaction plants consume the BOG (boil-off gas) in their engines and the excess is burned in the gas combustion unit without recovering any of its energy content. Excess BOG ... -
Photovoltaic Power Prediction Using Artificial Neural Networks and Numerical Weather Data
(MDPI, 2020)[Abstract] The monitoring of power generation installations is key for modelling and predicting their future behaviour. Many renewable energy generation systems, such as photovoltaic panels and wind turbines, strongly ... -
Energy Efficiency and Thermal Performance of Office Buildings Integrated with Passive Strategies in Coastal Regions of Humid and Hot Tropical Climates in Madagascar
(MDPI AG, 2020-04-02)[Abstract] Researchers have used passive strategies, such as the implementation of thermal insulation and the use of phase change materials (PCM), in several studies, but some problems have not yet been solved. It is the ... -
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) ... -
A Global Review of PWR Nuclear Power Plants
(MDPI, 2020-06-27)[Abstract] Nuclear energy is presented as a real option in the face of the current problem of climate change and the need to reduce CO2 emissions. The nuclear reactor design with the greatest global impact throughout history ... -
A New Methodology for Decision-Making in Buildings Energy Optimization
(MDPI, 2020-06-30)[Abstract] When designing or retrofitting a building, not too many tools let architects and engineers to define the optimal conditions to reduce energy consumption with the minimal economic investment. This is because ... -
A New Design Criterion to Improve the Intact Stability of Galician Small Fishing Vessels
(MDPI, 2020-07-07)[Abstract] The first technical factor involved in maritime accidents is related to the lack of intact stability. The current stability criterion, based on fixing a minimum value for each of the di erent static and dynamic ... -
Spring-loaded Winch Band Brakes as Tools to Improve Safety During Mooring Operations on Ships
(2020-09)[Abstract] Some recent accident reports involving large vessels in mooring operations or breaking away from their moorings conclude that brakes of mooring winches do not render before line parts. As the potential loss of ... -
Air Changes for Healthy Indoor Ambiences under Pandemic Conditions and Its Energetic Implications: A Galician Case Study
(MDPI, 2020-10-14)[Abstract] The present paper aims to show a mathematical understanding of the e_ect of ventilation rate over building energy consumption. Moreover, as a case study to show this methodology,a proposal was analyzed of modifying ... -
Ship Handling in Unprotected Waters: A Review of New Technologies in Escort Tugs to Improve Safety
(MDPI, 2021)[Abstract] It is a well-known fact that the 1989 Exxon Valdez disaster caused the escort towing of laden tankers in many coastal areas of the world to become compulsory. In order to implement a new type of escort towing, ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Exploitation of Liquefied Natural Gas Cold Energy in Floating Storage Regasification Units
(University of Zagreb, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture, 2021)[Abstract] This paper aims to review regasification technology installed in Floating Storage Regasification Units (FSRUs) and the potential offered by the exploitation of cold energy from liquefied natural gas (LNG) in ... -
New Tendencies in Wind Energy Operation and Maintenance
(MDPI, 2021)[Abstract] Both the reduction in operating and maintenance (O&M) costs and improved reliability have become top priorities in wind turbine maintenance strategies. O&M costs typically account for 20% to 25% of the total ... -
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 ... -
A Detailed Identification of Classificatory Variables in Ship Accidents: A Spanish Case Study
(MDPI, 2021)[Abstract] The present paper shows an original study of more than 163 ship accidents in Spain showing which of the usually employed variables are related to each type of vessel accident due to the lack of information in ...
