The marine economy of the United Kingdom

Publication ID: pub.1125454070

Keywords: Blue Growth; Input-output; Marine Economy; Marine Planning; UK

The marine and coastal environment is an important economic asset in the UK, and there is a need for greater information about marine economic activities for the purposes of marine management and policy. However, due to the difficulties of quantifying some marine sectors and separating them from terrestrial activities, the current size and structure of […]

Surrogate-Assisted Evolutionary Multiobjective Shape Optimization of an Air Intake Ventilation System

Publication ID: pub.1095587421

Keywords: Hydraulic Systems; Linear Programming; Numerical Models; Optimization; Resistance; Software; Ventilation

We tackle three different challenges in solving a real-world industrial problem: formulating the optimization problem, connecting different simulation tools and dealing with computationally expensive objective functions. The problem to be optimized is an air intake ventilation system of a tractor and consists of three computationally expensive objective functions. We describe the modeling of the system […]

Transformation and slippage in co-production ambitions for global technology development: The case of gene drive

Publication ID: pub.1132890408

Keywords: Co-production; Gene Drive; Global; Global Research; Governance; Sustainability

Co-production is an increasingly popular framework for knowledge generation, evaluation and decision making. Despite its potential to open up decisions and practices to the input of others, co-production regularly falls short of its transformative ambitions. Through documentary analysis, we investigate the meaning and dynamics of co-production as it stretches beyond the local into global research […]

A weighted cellular automata 2D inundation model for rapid flood analysis

Publication ID: pub.1022011539

Keywords: Cellular Automata; Flood Modelling; GPU Computing; Open Source; Torquay; UK; Weight-based Model

To achieve fast flood modelling for large-scale problems, a two-dimensional cellular automata based model was developed. This model employs simple transition rules and a weight-based system rather than complex Shallow Water Equations. The simplified feature of cellular automata allows the model to be implemented in parallel environments, resulting in significantly improved modelling efficiency. The model […]

Development and application of China provincial road transport energy demand and GHG emissions analysis model

Publication ID: pub.1103210452

Keywords: China; Energy Demand; EV; GHG Emissions; Transportation Energy; Vehicle Stock

Energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of China’s road transport sector have been increasing rapidly in recent years. Previous studies on the future trends trend to focus on the national picture and cannot offer regional insights. We build a novel bottom-up model to estimate the future energy demand and GHG emissions of China’s road […]

Upgrade of the HadGEM3-A based attribution system to high resolution and a new validation framework for probabilistic event attribution

Publication ID: pub.1103680958

Keywords: Atmospheric and Land Model; Climate of the 20th Century Plus (C20C+) Project; Ensembles; Forcings Set; Global; HadGEM3-A Based Attribution System; MET Office; Model Performance; Probabilistic Attribution; Resolution; Upgrade; Validation Framework

We present a substantial upgrade of the Met Office system for the probabilistic attribution of extreme weather and climate events with higher horizontal and vertical resolution (60 km mid-latitudes and 85 vertical levels), the latest Hadley Centre atmospheric and land model (ENDGame dynamics with GA6.0 science and JULES at GL6.0) as well as an updated forcings […]
