2. 1. Complexity and Ambivalence in Ship Safety Inspection : The view of Swedish Port state control officers

   Author : Fredrik Hjorth; Carl Hult; Ulf Drugge; Michael Baldauf; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Inspection; Port state control; Detention; Deprofessionalization; Compliance; Maritime safety; Profession; Bureaucracy; Sjöfartsvetenskap; Maritime Science;

   Abstract : Despite an extensive system of Port state controls (PSC) on ships, inspection loopholes in European control functions have been reported. Furthermore, risk factors associated with fatigue, stress and a poorly developed safety culture on board ships have been identified in earlier research. READ MORE

4. 2. Evaluating the ISM code using port state control statistics

   Author : Max Mejia; Ergonomi och aerosolteknologi; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; maritime safety; human element; International Safety Management Code; ISM Code; safety culture; port state control; maritime safety legislation;

   Abstract : The history of modern maritime safety legislation at the international level is relatively young. Its beginnings are generally associated with the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, a tragedy that resulted in the adoption by an international conference of the first of what was to become a series of versions (1914, 1929, 1948, 1960, 1974) of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS).

5. 3. On Joint State Estimation and Model Learning using Gaussian Process Approximations

   Author : Anton Kullberg; Gustaf Hendeby; Isaac Skog; Arno Solin; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Techniques for state estimation is a cornerstone of essentially every sector of science and engineering, ranging from aeronautics and automotive engineering to economics and medical science. Common to state estimation methods, is the specification of a mathematical model of the underlying system in question. Typically, this is done a priori, i.e. READ MORE

6. 4. Optimizing Networked Systems and Inverse Optimal Control

   Author : Han Zhang; Xiaoming Hu; Elias Jarlebring; Yiguang Hong; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Networked systems; energy optimal consensus control; semi-definite programming; distributed optimization; inverse optimal control; Mathematics; Matematik;

   Abstract : This thesis is concerned with the problems of optimizing networked systems, including designing a distributed energy optimal consensus controller for homogeneous networked linear systems, maximizing the algebraic connectivity of a network by projected saddle point dynamics. In addition, the inverse optimal control problems for discrete-time finite time-horizon Linear Quadratic Regulators (LQRs) are considered. READ MORE

7. 5. The HCCI Engine – High Load Performance and Control Aspects

   Author : Jan-Ola Olsson; Förbränningsmotorer; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; System Identification; Motors and propulsion systems; Motorer; framdrivningssystem; Real Time; Black-Box Model; LQG; Closed-Loop Control; Internal Combustion Engine; Emissions; EGR; Efficiency; HCCI; Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition;

   Abstract : Current combustion engines provide excellent performance for vehicle propulsion and power generation. However, recent demands from society ask for higher efficiencies and lower emissions. These requirements are hard to meet with current technology and call for new solutions. READ MORE
