Abstract:
The global gas market continues to remain volatile amid long-term uncertainty of global demand for natural gas along with the effect of ongoing energy transition measures in the exploration and production (E&P) industry. However, global gas demand is anticipated to recover in 2025 with increases in natural gas prices. Much of this increase can be attributed to the increased demand for electrification apace with global efforts to phase out coal-fired power plants. Additional increase in demand could result from adverse weather conditions, geopolitical developments, and supply concerns, lead

Abstract:
Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic microorganisms that colonize diverse environments worldwide, ranging from ocean to freshwaters, soils, and extreme environments. Their adaptation capacities and the diversity of natural products that they synthesize, support cyanobacterial success in colonization of their respective ecological niches. Although cyanobacteria are well-known for their toxin production and their relative deleterious consequences, they also produce a large variety of molecules that exhibit beneficial properties with high potential in various fields (e.g., a synthetic analog of dolas

ABSTRACT Around 65 AD, the Ancient Roman philosopher Seneca wrote his only text concerning Natural Phenomenon: Natural Questions. Considered since medieval times as part of a trinity of great thinkers including Plato and Aristotle, Seneca’s work in rhetoric, philosophy, and legal theory still receive praise today. The praise is not replicated for Natural Questions, however. Modern historians who consider the work paint it as uninspiring. Pliny, another Roman author and philosopher, wrote a far more encompassing and detailed work called Natural History, and it is this work that is considered th

Computer programs designed to converse with humans in natural language provide a framework against which to test supra-sentential theories of language production and interpretation. This thesis seeks to flesh out, in terms of a computer model, two basic assumptions concerning prosody-that speakers use intonation to convey intention, or attitude, and that prosodic prominence serves to convey conceptual prommence. A model of an information-providing agent in is proposed, based on an analysis of a corpus of spontaneous dialogues. This uses an architecture of communicating processes, which perform

Abstract:
Requirements elicitation is a difficult part of software engineering in which the specifications for a new system are discussed with potential users. Because verifying that requirements are correct for a complex task, computer support is often beneficial. This support requires formal specifications. However, people are not usually trained to use formal specification languages. Task or domain specific languages smooth the learning curve to write formal specifications but the elicitation process often remains error prone. Users need more support while writing specifications.

The objective was to assemble diverse international partners in a hybrid in-person and virtual setting to focus on the viability of applying Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) to solve engineering challenges in the Arctic and similar cold region locations. The goals of the two-day workshop were to share recent efforts implementing NBS to mitigate coastal hazards such as flooding and erosion in northern high latitud

Abstract:
Existing test data from the Engines and Energy Conversion Laboratory and other sources are analyzed to examine the impact of retrofit technologies and operating parameters on greenhouse gas emissions. CO2, CH4, and CO2e (equivalent CO2) emissions are the focus of the study. The data analysis is focused on 4 main categories, engine performance maps, retrofit technology, uncontrolled parameters, and NOx permit level. Examination of the impact of HP replacement is also performed.
