11. Submerged Transmission in Wave Energy Converters : Full Scale In-Situ Experimental Measurements
Abstract : Different wave power technologies are in development around the world in different stages of prototype testing. So far only a few devices have been deployed offshore at full scale for extended periods of time. Little data is published about how these different devices perform. READ MORE

12. Wave Loads and Peak Forces on Moored Wave Energy Devices in Tsunamis and Extreme Waves
Abstract : Surface gravity waves carry enormous amounts of energy over our oceans, and if their energy could be harvested to generate electricity, it could make a significant contribution to the worlds power demand. But the survivability of wave energy devices in harsh operating conditions has proven challenging, and for wave energy to be a possibility, peak forces during storms and extreme waves must be studied and the devices behaviour understood.

13. Time Simulation of the Behaviour of Damaged Ships in Waves
Abstract : The cause of event and ability for ship survival after damage are in many cases poorly described by pure static considerations. The dynamic properties of the ship and environment will be significant in the assessment of the damage scenario. Physical theories describing these properties have been developed since many decades.

14. Ergonomics: An uncharted route to improved overall systems performance in shipping
Abstract : Continuously, improved design of hull, propulsion and cargo handling systems has increased speed, capacity and reliability of sea transports. Simultaneously, efforts have been made to perfect crew size and composition in order to optimize operations costs. READ MORE

15. Studies on plant-microbe interaction to improve stress tolerance in plants for sustainable agriculture
Abstract : Biotic and abiotic stress factors have a major impact on plants and cause extensive losses to crop production. Bacteria that provide growth promotion and prime stress tolerance of plants have great potential to improve crop production and support durable and environmental friendly resource management.
