Farmed lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) are commonly used as cleaner fish in the salmonid aquaculture industry, but a knowledge gap exists with regards to their body density. Filling this is of importance, has no swim bladder and thus relies on alternative methods for buoyancy, i.e., density difference between its surroundings. The aims study were measure investigate correlation different operatio...

Experience shows that external failures of software systems are often preceded by deterioration in their internal state (i.e. an error). An error is defined as the difference between a computed, observed, or measured value or condition and the true, specified, or theoretically correct value or condition [1]. For software systems that are designed to degrade gracefully, the capability to provide...

The ground routing problem consists in scheduling the movements of aircraft on the ground between runways and parking positions while respecting operational and safety requirements in the most efficient way. We present a Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) formulation for routing aircraft along a predetermined path. This formulation is generalized to allow several possible paths. Our model takes in...

OBJECTIVE This study examined the occurrence and duration of sedentary bouts and explored the cross-sectional association with health indicators in children applying various operational definitions of sedentary bouts. METHODS Accelerometer data of 647 children (10-13 years old) were collected in five European countries. We analyzed sedentary time (<100 cpm) accumulated in bouts of at least 5,...

conclusions this was the first study that focused on expanding resilience indicators, and presents a new framework to simplify assessment of resilience and safety of a complex system. results in this study, 29 factors affecting this indicator were determined using the delphi method; the scores of all factors were less than the scores of the best practice. on the other hand, the state of this in...

Environmental pollution is considered to be one of the main concerns in the construction industry. Environmental pollution has become a major challenge to construction projects due to the huge amount of pollution caused by construction projects. There are different types of environmental impact indicators, such as the greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint, eutrophication potential (EP), acidification ...
