This study focuses on the production of hydrogen from municipal solid waste (MSW) for applications in transportation. A life cycle assessment (LCA) was conducted a semi-commercial advanced gasification process Biohydrogen (Bio-H 2 ) MSW to evaluate its environmental impact five categories: Climate Change, Acidification, Eutrophication Fresh Water, Ecotoxicity Freshwater and Photochemical Ozone ...

State of the art research in ensuring transport infrastructure resilience focuses on adopting a network perspective. However, there is no comprehensive, widespread method for evaluating connectivity and proposing alternative routes to improve it. Presented herein framework that: assesses road connectivity, using “closeness” measure focusing passing by vulnerable asset bridges; proposes developm...

Parallel phenotypic diversification in closely related species is a rigorous framework for testing the role of natural selection in evolution. Do parallel phenotypes always diversify by parallel genetic bases or does selection pave many alternative genomic routes to the same phenotypic ends? In this review, we show that the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies and the growing use o...

We consider an online routing problem in continuous time, where calls have Poisson arrivals and exponential durations. The first-fit dynamic alternative routing algorithm sequentially selects up to d random two-link routes between the two endpoints of a call, via an intermediate node, and assigns the call to the first route with spare capacity on each link, if there is such a route. The balance...

We present improved methods for computing a set of alternative source-to-destination routes in road networks in the form of an alternative graph. The resulting alternative graphs are characterized by minimum path overlap, small stretch factor, as well as low size and complexity. Our approach improves upon a previous one by introducing a new pruning stage preceding any other heuristic method and...

The underrepresentation of women in engineering is often explained by gender differences in interests or abilities, learning environments and learning styles, or the uncertainty of the job market. But young women in Norway have largely overcome many of the traditional gender differences, and the job market is favourable. However, female engineering students lack role models and networks. Many l...
