Our paper tests the extent to which airport efficiency is affected by national macro-environmental factors. The literature on airport performance measurement is extensive but has tended to focus mainly on estimating the ...

The effectiveness of transport of short-lived halocarbons to the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere remains an important uncertainty in quantifying the supply of ozone-depleting substances to the stratosphere. In ...

This research is focused on implementation of the ant colony optimisation (ACO) technique to solve an advanced version of the vehicle routing problem (VRP), called the fleet management system (FMS). An optimum solution of ...

Projected future climatic extremes such as heatwaves and droughts are expected to have major impacts on emissions and concentrations of biogenic volatile organic compounds (bVOCs) with potential implications for air quality, ...

This paper introduces the GENUS multidisciplinary concept level aircraft design and analysis environment developed by Cranfield University in recent years and it has been applied to the conceptual design of blended wing ...

The environmental control system of a civil aircraft is a major driver of maintenance. Legacy systems, such as those on the Boeing 737, are particularly at risk, as they are not instrumented for health management. These ...

This paper focuses on the effect of interfacial fibre orientation and interleaved veil on the delamination migration of carbon fibre reinforced polymer laminates under Mode I loading. Double cantilever beam specimens with ...

Norwegian fruit production is mostly destined for the local market and can suffer from poor-quality retention during storage. 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) is an inhibitor of ethylene perception used to maintain the physical ...

In this study, thermal desorption was developed to separate and concentrate ammonia from return liquor, for use as a chemical absorbent in biogas upgrading, providing process intensification and the production of crystalline ...

This research presents multi-objective optimization for control allocation problem based on the Evolutionary Game Theory to solve distribution of redundant control input on the over actuated system in real-time. Optimizing ...
