Steaming towards a cyber secure shipboard navigation systems: a review of industry readiness
The increasing reliance on digital technologies in the maritime industry has led to a growing concern about cyber security. Shipboard navigation systems are particularly vulnerable to attack, as they are often connected to the 'internet of things' and contain sensitive data. This dissertation …

Steaming Erratically Towards the Dreadnought: The British Navy in the Era of Gladstone and Disraeli
During the two decades after 1860 the British Navy was thrust into the machine age as the fruits of the Industrial Revolution impinged on the design and construction of ships of war with dramatic suddenness. Within the space of these twenty years the battlefleet was transformed from wooden walls …

Mechanical behavior of red oak in transverse compression as affected by hydro-treatments and its relations to changes in cell wall structure and composition
… for 1.5, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 96 hours. Short steaming induced little or no changes in the properties and the composition of red oak. Prolonged steaming, however, resulted in significant changes in physical and mechanical properties as well as in structure and chemical composition of wood. …

Comparison of Airway Response in Recurrent Airway Obstruction-Affected Horses Fed Steamed Versus Non-steamed Hay
… to inhalation of irritants including hay molds. Steaming hay reduces fungal content, but the effect on the antigenic potential has not been investigated. We tested the hypothesis that RAO-affected horses develop less severe clinical disease when fed steamed versus non-steamed hay and this …

The effect of hydrothermal and acid dealumination on the structural, acid and catalytic properties of Mordenite
… these species, particularly when created by mild steaming, increase the acidity and catalytic activity of the dealuminated sample, it has also been reported that these species have either a negative or no effect on thecatalyst's acidity and activity [Mirodatos and Barthomeuf, 1981; Chen eta/., …

Vacuum Steam Technology for Rapid Plasticization and Bending of Maple
… and heat to wood results in plasticization. Steaming at atmospheric pressure is the common technique for wood bending where diffusion prevails as the predominant mechanism governing moisture movement. Applications using conventional atmospheric steaming are time consuming and can result in …

Practical drying techniques for yellow-poplar S-D-R flitches
… the effectiveness of high-temperature and steaming treatments before solar and air drying S-D-R flitches on reducing warp and to determine the cost of application of successful methods. An initial study was conducted to establish the duration of treatment required to relieve growth stresses …

FATSOLUBLE VITAMINS IN BLACK SEA AND FRESHWATER FISH//МАСТНОРАЗТВОРИМИ ВИТАМИНИ В ЧЕРНОМОРСКИ И СЛАДКОВОДНИ РИБИ
… work also present an evaluation of the effect of steaming process on fat soluble vitamin contents in one of the analyzed freshwater fishes (freshwater trout) and three marine fishes (bluefish, shad and horse mackerel). A comparison of two group’s vitamin contents shown an extensive variability of …

Study of Adsorbate Interactions of Alumina Surfaces Using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Methods
… pretreatment step for gamma-Al2O3. Two types of steaming protocols were investigated, the critical difference being that one protocol steamed the alumina catalyst at the set-point only, whereas the alternative protocol also steamed the samples during the ramp and cool down. The two types of steam …

The effect of synthesis and post-synthesis modifications on the activity of zeolite beta for cumene synthesis
… modified by post synthesis modifications such as steaming, acid washing or steaming followed by acid washing. A series of zeolite Beta catalysts were also synthesised by different techniques. The samples were characterised with respect to structure, morphology, particle size, number of acid sites, …

Assessing Genetic and Environmental Influence on Traits Associated with Natto Quality
… such as water absorption, water loss after steaming, seed coat deficiency, and rate of water absorption. Genotype variation was significant for all traits, but genetic differences for water loss after steaming were minimal. Planting system significantly influenced all natto quality traits. …

Otimização de custos de viagem mediante a redução de velocidade para aproximação de um navio a porto de maré
Slow steaming in the approach of a ship to a tidal port taking into account tides results in ship fuel consumption and waiting cost reduction and a concomitant decrease in greenhouse gas emissions. In this dissertation, a mathematical optimisation model is developed for the formulation of this …
