    RO-Crate Metadata Specification 1.1.1

    No full text
    This document specifies a method, known as RO-Crate (Research Object Crate), of aggregating and describing research data with associated metadata. RO-Crates can aggregate and describe any resource including files, URI-addressable resources, or use other addressing schemes to locate digital or physical data. RO-Crates can describe data in aggregate and at the individual resource level, with metadata to aid in discovery, re-use and long term management of data. Metadata includes the ability to describe the context of data and the entities involved in its production, use and reuse. For example: who created it, using which equipment, software and workflows, under what licenses can it be re-used, where was it collected, and/or where is it about.RO-Crate uses JSON-LD to to express this metadata using linked data, describing data resources as well as contextual entities such as people, organizations, software and equipment as a series of linked JSON-LD objects - using common published vocabularies, chiefly schema.org.The core of RO-Crate is a JSON-LD file, the RO-Crate Metadata File, named ro-crate-metadata.json. This file contains structured metadata about the dataset as a whole (the Root Data Entity) and, optionally, about some or all of its files. This provides a simple way to, for example, assert the authors (e.g. people, organizations) of the RO-Crate or one its files, or to capture more complex provenance for files, such as how they were created using software and equipment.While providing the formal specification for RO-Crate, this document also aims to be a practical guide for software authors to create tools for generating and consuming research data packages, with explanation by examples

    This document specifies a method, known as RO-Crate (Research Object Crate), of organizing file-based data with associated metadata, using linked data principles, in both human and machine readable formats, with the ability to include additional domain-specific metadata. The core of RO-Crate is a JSON-LD file, the RO-Crate Metadata File, named ro-crate-metadata.jsonld. This file contains structured metadata about the dataset as a whole (the Root Data Entity) and, optionally, about some or all of its files. This provides a simple way to, for example, assert the authors (e.g. people, organizations) of the RO-Crate or one its files, or to capture more complex provenance for files, such as how they were created using software and equipment.

    In het vooronderzoek is voorbereidend werk gedaan voor het ontwerp van de Ro-Ro-haven. In het voor u liggende rapport staat beschreven hoe dit ontwerp verder is uitgewerkt. In het eerste hoofdstuk wordt een inventarisatie gemaakt welk type schip er voor dit specifieke Ro-Ro-vervoer ingezet moet worden. Na de te vervoeren lading in hoofdstuk 3 te hebben besproken wordt de indeling van het schip vastgesteld. Deze indeling moet zodanig zijn dat het aan te vereiste vervoerskapaciteit voldoet. In de daarop volgende hoofdstukken wordt het programma van eisen op nautisch gebied behandeld. Hier komen onderwerpen ter sprake zoals de breedte en vorm van de haventoegang. Binnen de haven zijn korrektie- en stopafstand en de afmetingen van de draaicirkel van groot belang voor de manoeuvreerbaarheid van de schepen. Het enorme getijverschil heeft grote invloed op het havenontwerp. Er is daarom in hoofdstuk 7 een mathematisch model van de getijkromme gemaakt waarmee een voorspelling van de waterstanden kan worden gedaan. Dit is o.a. van nut geweest bij de bepaling van de ligging van de brekerzone en de probabilistische benadering van de noodzakelijke geuldiepte. De golfbrekers moeten de haven bescherming bieden tegen golfaanval vanuit zee. Daarom is aan dit belangrijk element in het projekt veel aandacht besteed. Een interessant aspekt hierbij is ook de bepaling van de kruinhoogte. Het P.I.A.N.C. heeft strenge eisen gesteld aan de golfdoordringing bij Ro-Ro-havens i.v.m. de gevoeligheid van de lading voor bewegingen van het schip. Uitgaande van deze eisen is een diffraktieberekening gemaakt om te onderzoeken in hoeverre het ontwerp voldoet aan de P.I.A.N.C. eisen. Om een goede ladingafhandeling mogelijk te maken is een flexibele pontonkonstruktie ontworpen die bij elke getijwaterstand kan funktioneren. Daar de ponton geen stootbelasting kan opnemen is tussen schip en ponton een remmingwerk gesitueerd. Dit is berekend op een extreme stootbelasting van het Ro-Ro-schip. Tenslotte is een berekening gemaakt van de troskrachten die optreden bij windbelasting op het schip als het ligt afgemeerd.Hydraulic EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience

    Razvoj Ro-Ro brodova traje u kontinuitetu već više od 180 godina. Svoj povijesni razvoj započinje u Škotskoj gdje se pojavio prvi trajekt koji prevozi Ro-Ro teret, u ovom slučaju željezničke vagone. Ro-Ro brodovi razvijaju se usporedno s integralnim i multimodalnim prijevozom jer su i oni sami dio ovog tipa transporta. U 60-im godinama prošlog stoljeća dolazi do uspostavljanja velikog broja kratkih linija na području Sjevernog i Baltičkog mora, koje se danas nastoji ponovno oživjeti. Prednosti Ro-Ro brodova u početku su bile vidljive na kraćim relacijama no naknadno ih pokazuju i dugim relacijama. Najniža visina troškova po jedinici tereta u usporedbi sa drugim sustavima kao prvenstvena prednost Ro-Ro tehnologije omogućena je dobrim prekrcajnim normama te se danas uspješno kombinira sa drugim tehnologijama. Isključiva namjena Ro-Ro brodova je prijevoz tereta na kotačima. U uvodnom dijelu rada autor analizira i interpretira te opisuje razvoj Ro-Ro brodova kroz pojedina povijesna razdoblja, a zatim opisuje suvremeni Ro-Ro brod i njegove osnovne karakteristike. U drugom dijelu rada autor provodi analizu prometa Ro-Ro brodova na Jadranu u posljednjih 5 godina. Vezano uz to autor nudi pojedine zaključke i prijedloge. U posljednjem dijelu rada (Zaključak) dana su zaključna razmatranja o temi.The development of Ro-Ro ships has been going on continuously for more than 180 years. Its historical development begun in Scotland where the first ferry carrying Ro-Ro cargo is primarily applied, and in this case railway wagons. Ro-Ro ships are being developed parallel with integrated and multimodal transport because they themselves are part of this type of transportation. In the 1960s, a large number of short lines were established in the North and Baltic Seas, which are now being revived. The advantages of Ro-Ro boats were initially visible on shorter distances, but later they also showed them on long distances. The lowest cost per unit of cargo compared to other systems as a primary advantage of ro - ro technology is provided by good transhipment standards and today is successfully combined with other technologies. The exclusive purpose of Ro-Ro boats is to transport cargo on wheels. In the introductory part of the paper, the author analyzes and interprets and describes the development of Ro-Ro boats through certain historical periods, and then describes the modern Ro-Ro ship and its basic characteristics. In the second part of the paper, the author analyzes the traffic of Ro-Ro boats in the Adriatic sea in the last 5 years. In this regard, the author offers some conclusions and suggestions. In the last part of the paper (Conclusion), concluding remarks on the topic are given

    Direct numerical simulation of weakly spanwise-rotating turbulent plane Couette flow

    In this report, we conduct direct numerical simulations (DNS) of weakly spanwise-rotating plane Couette flows at Reynolds number Rew=Uwh/ν=1300Re_w = U_wh/\nu= 1300 (here, UwU_w is the half the wall velocity difference, and hh is half-channel height). A series of simulations with different rotation numbers Ro=2Ωh/UwRo = 2\Omega h/U_w (Ω\Omega is constant angular velocity component in the spanwise direction) is carried out to investigate the effect of RoRo on the flow statistics. Our results show that the flow statistics are affected by the RoRo, and a "critical" rotation number RoRo^* (between Ro=0.01Ro=0.01 and Ro=0.05Ro=0.05) is observed, where the kinetic energy of secondary flow contributes about a half of the turbulent kinetic energy, and the mean shear rate at the center line reaches a minimum value. We conjecture that different mechanisms should exist around RoRo^*, and will be investigated further

    Development of an Auto-Trim Control System for Ro-Ro Ship Carrying Heavy Cargoes

    No full text
    In Ro-Ro ship carrying heavy cargoes, it is very important to maintain a certain level of aft draft and the proper trim through the entire loading or discharging process. Some kinds of manual ballast control system have been generally applied so far to this practice in Ro-Ro ship. However, there is need to develop a so-called Auto-Trim Control System using some computer technology to improve the operation of those existing systems. This paper aims at developing an Auto-Trim Control System especially for Ro-Ro ship carrying such heavy cargoes including hot coils and steel plates. The author carried out some systems analysis and design for developing the system by examining and reflecting the practices of the entire loading and discharging process. Then a user-friendly Auto-Trim Control System has been built by interfacing the Valve Remote Control system and Tank Level & Draft Measuring system with itself. The author also provides some excellent results on the performance of the system by reporting the records of installing the system on board 4 Ro-Ro ships.Abstract 제 1 장 서론 = 1 1.1 연구의 배경 = 1 1.2 연구의 목적 = 2 제 2 장 시스템의 개요 = 3 2.1 중량화물 선적 Ro-Ro 선 하역 작업의 기본개념 = 3 2.2 Auto-Trim Control System의 기본개념 = 7 2.3 시스템 구성도 = 10 제 3 장 선미흘수 및 트림 제어 알고리듬의 개발 = 11 3.1 탱크 배치도 = 11 3.2 탱크 배정 우선순위 = 11 3.3 탱크 선택 규칙 = 12 제 4 장 Auto-trim Control System 개발 = 15 4.1 시스템 소프트웨어 구성 = 15 4.2 시스템 설계 = 16 4.3 밸브 및 펌프 작동 절차 = 21 4.4 시스템 구현 = 37 제 5 장 프로그램 실행 예 = 42 5.1 통신상태 표시줄 = 42 5.2 선박상태 표시줄 = 44 5.3 프로그램 작동 = 45 제 6 장 결론 = 58 참고문헌 = 6

    High silica concentration in RO concentrate

    No full text
    Silica scaling is one of the major scaling challenges in Reverse Osmosis (RO). The safe operation practice is to keep the silica concentration below 150 mg/L in RO concentrate. This study addresses the effects of divalent cations such as calcium and magnesium on silica scaling in a seawater RO installation used as a pretreatment to Eutectic Freeze Crystallisation (EFC). Results showed that in the absence of antiscalant and divalent cations a sustained silica concentration of approximately 280 mg/L in concentrate is possible without declining membrane permeability. At a higher concentration of divalent cations, the membrane permeability decreased. Membrane autopsy and analysing destructed membrane showed a relatively low magnesium and a high calcium concentration on the membrane after adding divalent ions into the solutions. It is concluded that in absence of divalent cations and without antiscalant the limits of 150 mg/L silica can be extended to 280 mg/L for 6–8 h.Sanitary Engineerin
