    Abstract : The main objective of wave energy converters (WECs) is to ensure reliable electricity production at a competitive cost. Two challenges to achieving this are ensuring an efficient energy conversion and offshore survivability. READ MORE

  4. 7. Planting and survivability of Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) in Sweden : Questions of seedling storability, site preparation, bud burst timing and freezing tolerance

    Author : Cecilia Malmqvist; Harald Säll; Douglass F. Jacobs; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; regeneration; provenances; coastal; interior; frost damage; Forestry and Wood Technology; Skog och träteknik;

    Abstract : The non-native Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) has been grown to a limited extent in the southern part of Sweden since the early 1900s. A more extensive use has probably been curtailed by its known susceptibility to damage by frost, pine weevil and other pests. READ MORE

  6. 9. An Operations Research Approach for Daily Emergency Management

    Author : Niki Matinrad; Tobias Andersson Granberg; Jan T. Lundgren; Anna Fredriksson; Melanie Reuter-Oppermann; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Emergency services play a vital role in society by providing help to affected people and minimizing damage to public and private assets as well as the environment during emergencies. However, these organizations deal with problems of increasing demand uncertainty and resource shortage over time. READ MORE

  7. 10. Experimental Measurement of Lateral Force in a Submerged Single Heaving Buoy Wave Energy Converter

    Author : Andrej Savin; Mats Leijon; Magnus Karlberg; Uppsala universitet; []
