A systematic simulation methodology for LNG ship operations in port waters: a case study in Meizhou Bay [PDF]
With the increment for liquefied natural gas (LNG) demand, LNG carriers are becoming larger in size. The operational safety of the carriers and the associated terminals is increasingly attracting attention.

The international ocean transport industry in crisis : assessing the reasons and outlook [PDF]
Until 1980, the world merchant fleet expanded rapidly in response to thriving seatrade markets. Since then, it has not grown much. The industry did not adjust effectively to periodic global recession, and the fleet's earnings deteriorated as the gap ...

Transverse field effect in graphene ribbons
, 2007 It is shown that a graphene ribbon, a ballistic strip of carbon monolayer, may serve as a quantum wire whose electronic properties can be continuously and reversibly controlled by an externally applied transverse voltage.

Effects of a military cargo pod and tail fins on the aerodynamic characteristics of a large wide-body transport model [PDF]
Wind tunnel tests were conducted on a 0.03 scale model of a large wide-body commercial aircraft to determine the effects on the static aerodynamic characteristics resulting from the attachment of a belly pod for the long-range deployment of outsize ...

Finite-size effect in shot noise in hopping conduction
, 2013 We study a current shot noise in a macroscopic insulator based on a two-dimensional electron system in GaAs in a variable range hopping (VRH) regime. At low temperature and in a sufficiently depleted sample a shot noise close to a full Poissonian value ...

Getting gas right: Australia’s energy challenge [PDF]
The global gas revolution is poised to significantly raise bills for Australian households and some gas-using businesses, but government should resist calls to protect domestic households and businesses from high gas prices.

The effect of increasing the thickness of the ship’s structural members on the Generalised Life Cycle Maintenance Cost (GLCMC) [PDF]
, 2009 In the context of the EU funded IMPROVE project, the research work of a Generalised Life Cycle Maintenance Cost (GLCMC) was initiated in order to investigate the influence of a weight oriented ship structural design on its production and operational ...
