At present, more than 90% of China's water transport ships still use diesel-powered propulsion systems, which have issues such as high fuel costs, high noise levels, and pollution emissions. Compared with traditional ship power systems, the ecological advantages and comprehensive benefits of electric propulsion-type ships are obvious. However, there are also issues, such as shorter range and battery life, which need to be analyzed in depth. This paper establishes a life cycle energy consumption model and emission model for the comprehensive benefits of electric ships and conducts an economic benefit analysis. The results show that electric ships have significant advantages in environmental protection, energy saving and lower costs while electric ships for containers have great prospects for future development.

For liner companies, the NSR offers a considerably shorter voyage distance than the Suez Canal Route does, making it a viable option to increase their profits. However, the overexploitation and utilization of the NSR may produce large amounts of black carbon, thus damaging the Arctic ecosystem. In light of the aforementioned background, we examine the challenges in designing liner shipping networks while considering the navigability and transit cost of the NSR and the environmental costs (i.e., black carbon pollution taxes) associated with black carbon. To this end, we establish a bi-level optimization model. Specifically, the upper-level model selects a network design scheme that maximizes the liner company's profit, whereas the lower-level model optimizes the slot allocation scheme to evaluate the derived network design scheme from the upper-level model. To solve this bi-level model, we develop a meta-heuristic algorithm embedded with a linear programming model and perform numerical experiments via a practical Asia‒Europe shipping route. Sensitivity analyses are conducted under various navigational conditions and black carbon taxes. The findings demonstrate that the proposed model and algorithm can effectively address the network design problem, offering practical managerial insights for the liner company's daily operations and the policy formulation of green sustainable transportation policies by governments of countries along the NSR. This paper provides a valuable contribution to advancing green shipping practices in the Arctic region.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54698,"journal":{"name":"Ocean & Coastal Management","volume":"261 ","pages":"Article 107492"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142748757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The intervention was a version of the Social-Ecological Systems Framework (SESF) translated into images that depicted the variables of the framework in the context of the case study. We hypothesized that the connected image-based SESF deliberation tool could facilitate more in-depth discussions on the complexities of social and ecological issues compared to baseline (no images) and control groups (images with no framework relationships). To gauge the farmers' intent to care for irrigation canals post-PITAP collectively, we employed the Reasoned Action Approach (RAA) from environmental psychology. Our experimental study revealed that employing the SESF as an image-based deliberation tool did not measurably improve the depth and complexity of the discussions within the context of the traditional aquaculture communities in Indonesia. Nevertheless, the data derived from the content of discussions indicates that employing the image-based tool results in different but important outcomes among the experimental groups with implications for a better understanding of context and culture where deliberation processes occur.

Drawing on surveys of Australian residents (<em>n</em> = 5320) conducted in 2018 and 2022, this paper investigates support for the development and deployment of six novel interventions on the Great Barrier Reef (marine cloud brightening, fogging, rubble stabilization, coral seeding, natural breeding for heat tolerance, and genetic engineering) and how support varies across time, social groups, perception of climate risk, and approach to intervention. It finds strong support for research and small-scale trials of all six interventions although support was highest for coral seeding, followed by rubble stabilization, fogging, natural breeding, marine cloud brightening, and genetic engineering. Reflecting their early stage of development, support for large-scale deployment of novel interventions across the Great Barrier Reef moderated, with respondents indicating strongest support for deployment of coral seeding, rubble stabilization, and fogging and lower support for natural breeding, marine cloud brightening, and genetic engineering. Trust in science to deliver solutions was a consistently strong predictor of support for both intervention R&amp;D and large-scale deployment. The perceived ability to identify and test environmental impacts was a strong predictor of support for scaled deployment. Perceived climate threat, trust in the Reef's management authority, and ethics were also consistently associated with support for intervention R&amp;D and implementation. With the vast majority of Australian residents supporting strong action to protect and restore coral reefs the maintenance of trust in scientists and scientific institutions stands out as critical to support for the implementation of novel interventions at scale, including the ability of researchers to identify and assess the environmental risks of these interventions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54698,"journal":{"name":"Ocean & Coastal Management","volume":"260 ","pages":"Article 107489"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142720128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, fatigue life prediction under low frequency fatigue loading was studied. Based on the law of energy conservation and the laws of heat conduction, heat convection, heat radiation, the temperature evolution of materials under low frequency fatigue loading was theoretically analyzed. Epoxy resin was selected as testing material and fatigue tests were conducted on epoxy resin specimens. During the fatigue test, the infrared thermal imager was used to monitor the samples surface temperature in real-time.

The results reveal an overall upward trend in the sustainability index of China's coastal recreational fisheries, with several notable regional differences. Furthermore, we found that recreational fishery sustainability exhibited spatial dependency across coastal provinces. The sustainability was influenced by both local factors and spillover effects from neighboring regions. The local factors ranked in order by direct effect coefficients from highest to lowest were consumption capability, travel convenience, policy, fishery management, urbanization, and environment. Indirect effect coefficients indicated that the degree of travel convenience and fishery development of neighboring regions had positive spillover effects, whereas consumption capability and tourism had negative effects.
