(Universidad de Cantabria. ETS de Náutica, 2012)[Abstract] Objective: studying the basic causes of marine casualties in conventional and high speed passenger ships over short distances (ferry ships). Identification of risk factors for most common accidents. Method: a ... -
International regulations on labour health and safety applied to fishing and maritime transport sectors. Are maritime workers under-protected?
(Via Medica Journals, 2012)[Abstract] The work activity developed on board is of great importance in our nearby environment, and it has a series of peculiarities that determine the service rendering of sea workers. On the other hand, work at sea is ... -
New Climatic Indicators for Improving Urban Sprawl: A Case Study of Tehran City
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2013)In the modern world, the fine balance and delicate relationship between human society and the environment in which we exist has been affected by the phenomena of urbanisation and urban development. Today, various environmental ... -
A new procedure to analyze the effect of air changes in building energy consumption
(Springer, 2014)[Abstract] Background: Today, the International Energy Agency is working under good practice guides that integrate appropriate and cost effective technologies. In this paper a new procedure to define building energy ... -
Effect of climate change on outdoor termal comfort in humid climates
(Springer, 2014)[Abstract] Background: Galicia, in northwest Spain, experiences warm summers and winters. However, the higher relative humidity that prevails the whole year through and the location of the summer hot points are related ... -
On board LNG reliquefaction technology: a comparative study
(Walter de Gruyter, 2014)[Abstract] Reliquefaction technologies are being currently applied on board liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers on the basis of economic criteria and energy efficiency. A variety of reliquefaction techniques have been ... -

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 ... -
Building construction materials effect in tropical wet and cold climates: A case study of office buildings in Cameroon
(Elsevier, 2016)[Abstract] This paper presents the results of an experimental study that was conducted in 15 office buildings in the humid and cold tropics during the working hours of the dry and rainy seasons in Cameroon. This was with ... -
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 ... -
Eco-friendly Pressure Drop Dehumidifier: An Experimental and Numerical Analysis
(2019)[Abstract] The northwest of Spain is defined by very high relative humidity values, with an average relative humidity of 85% throughout the year, which is considered too high by most standards and therefore can be related ... -
Primary conversion in non-resonant wave energy converter with floating buoy
(Universidad de Catabria, Spanish Society of Maritime Research (SEECMAR), 2019)[Abstract] This paper studies one of the technical problems that occur in the process of moving from ”waves toelectricity” in floating wave buoys converters located near the coast: to maximize the product force bydisplacement. ... -
