Water accessibility of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) can be monitored by resonant Raman spectroscopy (RRS) (see figure and cover) the radial breathing modes bile salt-solubilized CNTs. The RRS features empty water-filled CNTs very well resolved, vibrational electronic shifts broadenings have been accurately determined. results also lead to a simple ratiometric method quantify tube opening under various chemical mechanical treatments.
The reliability of marine propulsion systems depends on the several sub-systems a diesel engine. scavenge air system is one crucial engine with turbocharger as an essential component. In this paper, failures are analyzed through fault tree analysis (FTA) method to estimate and predict cause failures. quantitative used for assessing probability faults occurring in system. main sub-system, such filter blockage, compressor fouling, turbine fouling (exhaust side), cooler tube blockage side...
The environmental impact of shipping on marine environment includes discharge garbage. Plastic litter is particular concern due to abundance, resistance degradation and detrimental effect biota. According recently published studies, a further research required assess human health risk. Monitoring data indicate that despite banning plastic disposal at sea, still source pollution. Some the measures combat problem are discussed.
The paper is a literature review concerning the interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) composites containing polyurethanes that can be used for vibration damping in marine vehicles. effects of filler introduction on damping, mechanical and thermal properties IPN are compared. addition affects all relevant properties, dependence type quantity. Damping enhancement achieved by each studied fillers. ability to optimize structure incorporation provides way obtain material with desired features.
Production, processing, transporting, selling, and consumption of food are highly resource intensive. Therefore, if they not well managed the consequences for environment far-reaching. This study aimed at investigating behaviors attitudes Croatian population concerning influence environmental political determinants choices, socio-demographic factors associated with pro-environmental behavior. Data analysis involved a non-probabilistic sample 1534 adult participants from Croatia who responded...
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are noncovalently functionalised with octaethylporphyrins (OEPs) and the resulting nanohybrids isolated from free OEPs. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy of cobalt(II)OEP, adsorbed on nanotube walls by pi-pi-stacking, demonstrates that CNTs act as electron acceptors. EPR is shown to be very effective in resolving different interactions for metallic semiconducting tubes. Moreover, molecular oxygen bind selectively Water solubilisation...
Complacency has been recognised as a cause of maritime accidents, and there is need to develop execute relevant preventive measures. The effectiveness actions depends on the contribution seafarers. Therefore, purpose this study was identify causes elicit proposals for preventing complacency by officers in charge engineering watch. A total 63 Croatian participated four deliberative workshops, facilitated an expert teaching leadership management. As complacency, intensive workload, poor...
As a complex socio-technical system marine transportation is open to risks. Due the efforts of international organisations, flag and port administrations, classification societies ship-owners safety record has steadily improved. However, accidents resulting from inadequate culture still occur. In this paper examples recent related different dimensions are provided. The role master in achieving an enhanced emphasised.
Modern technology is being increasingly used on-board ships. It a common opinion that its application has reduced seafarers’ workload and improved safety of However, human error induced by contributes significantly to risk in shipping. This paper analyses machine interaction demonstrates which elements violate these connections. for this purpose the survey been conducted via an anonymous questionnaire among professional seafarers. The results indicate non-standardisation equipment, i.e....
Research shows that many barriers to pro-environmental behaviour in the maritime industry exist despite significant efforts of various stakeholders, and there is a need put additional improve sustainability shipping. Education has an important role because lack environmental knowledge almost always identified as barrier concern behaviour. However, eliminating gaps raising does not necessarily translate change, depends on numerous factors, which moderate mediate one another. Effectiveness...
Because edible insects (EI) have been, in recent years, recommended as a nutritious animal protein food with enormous environmental advantages over other sources of for human consumption, studies aimed at investigating the consumer perspective become more prominent. Hence, this study intended to examine perceptions participants from different countries about commercialization and economic social impacts insects. The was made using questionnaire survey, data were collected Brazil, Croatia,...
Abstract Segmented polyester polyurethanes (PU) were prepared based on polycaprolactone as a soft segment and hard containing isophoronediisocyanate chain extenders 2,2′‐bis‐(hydroxymethyl) propionic acid 1,4‐butanediol with different molar ratios. The changes of crystallinity morphology due to the incorporation carboxylic functional groups in monitored by wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction, optical microscopy differential scanning calorimetry. concentration varied from 0 0.45 mmol g −1 . phase...
Abstract The motional transition and heterogeneity of semi‐interpenetrating networks (SIPNs) based on polyurethane (PU) with carboxylic groups methacrylic copolymer (PM) tertiary amine were studied by the electron spin resonance (ESR) probe method. concentration functional in both prepolymers varied from 0 to 0.45 mmol g −1 . Spin‐probed SIPNs show that temperature‐dependent spectra are sensitive polymer interactions imposed groups. These determine free volume distribution matrix temperature...
