Green Vehicle Routing for Mixed-Fleet Cold-Chain Distribution under Time- and Location-Dependent Traffic Congestion

This study proposes a mixed-fleet cold-chain vehicle routing model that integrates time- and location-dependent traffic congestion into a nonlinear energy-consumption framework and solves it using an improved adaptive large neighborhood search algorithm to minimize total distribution costs while demonstrating the operational and economic advantages of mixed fleets under dynamic congestion conditions.

Predicting sand erosion in a gas deepwater jumper by incorporating distributions of sand particles size

This study employs CFD modeling with a Rosin-Rammler sand particle size distribution to predict erosion in deepwater gas jumpers, demonstrating that accounting for variable particle sizes and flow dynamics yields more realistic erosion predictions than theoretical models and identifies the last elbow as the most critical area for severe erosion.

Maximizing Task Endurance through Muscle Fatigue Minimization with Consideration of Muscle Fatigability and Task Contribution: an in-Silico FES Study of Handcycling

This in-silico study demonstrates that maximizing hand-cycling task endurance via Functional Electrical Stimulation is best achieved by optimizing cost functions that target specific variables and incorporate personalized muscle fatigability and mechanical criticality, rather than relying solely on standard norm archetypes.
