Exploratory Analysis on Shipping Segments and Potential Challenges for Dry Bulk Carriers

Published on 2026-02-03 by Angelos A. Menelaou, Sergey Popravko, Illya Bronnikov @MDPI

Abstract: The maritime industry is undergoing significant transformation, necessitating a reassessment of operational strategies, particularly for bulk carriers. Unlike container ships or ferries, which benefit from speed optimisation and real-time operational adjustments, bulk carriers face distinct challenges arising from rigid scheduling practices and the inherent complexities of cargo handling. Variability in loading and unloading processes, fluctuating discharge rates, and port congestion further con[...]


Our summary: This study explores the unique challenges faced by dry bulk carriers in the maritime industry. It highlights the limitations of Just-In-Time arrival strategies due to rigid scheduling and cargo handling complexities. The analysis emphasizes the need for reassessment of operational strategies in light of these challenges.

Instrument Performance and Thermospheric Wind Observations

Published on 2026-01-24 by Zhenqing Wen, Di Fu, Guangyi Zhu, Dexin Ren, Xiongbo Hao, Hengxiang Zhao, Jiuhou Lei, Yajun Zhu, Yutao Feng @MDPI

Abstract: The thermosphere serves as a pivotal region for Sun&amp;ndash;Earth interactions, and thermospheric winds are of great scientific importance for deepening insights into atmospheric dynamics, climate formation mechanisms, and space environment evolution. This study designed and developed a Ground-based Doppler Asymmetric Spatial Heterodyne Interferometer (GDASHI). Targeting the nightglow of the oxygen atomic red line (OI 630.0 nm), this instrument enables high-precision observation of thermos[...]


Our summary: This study developed a Ground-based Doppler Asymmetric Spatial Heterodyne Interferometer (GDASHI) for observing thermospheric winds. The instrument achieved high-precision measurements of nighttime meridional and zonal winds over one year at Gemini Astronomical Manor. Comparisons with a collocated Dual-Channel Optical Interferometer confirmed the reliability of GDASHI-derived winds, providing insights into atmospheric dynamics and climate mechanisms.

Implementation of the Just-in-Time Philosophy in Coal Production Processes as an Approach to Supporting Energy Transition and Reducing Carbon Emissions

Published on 2026-01-21 by Dariusz Prosta?ski, Rados?aw Marl?ga, Slavko Dragi? @MDPI

Abstract: In the context of Poland&amp;rsquo;s commitments under the European Union&amp;rsquo;s climate policy, including the European Green Deal and the Fit for 55 package, as well as the decision to ban imports of hard coal from Russia and Belarus, ensuring the stability of the domestic market for energy commodities is becoming a key challenge. The response to these needs is the Coal Platform concept developed by the KOMAG Institute of Mining Technology (KOMAG), which aims to integrate data on h[...]


Our summary: The article discusses the implementation of the Just-in-Time philosophy in coal production to support energy transition and reduce carbon emissions in Poland. It highlights the development of the Coal Platform by the KOMAG Institute, which integrates data for better resource management. Advanced forecasting methods using AI are explored to enhance production efficiency and align with climate commitments.

Multi-Dimensional Assessment of Low-Carbon Engineering Cement-Based Composites Based on Rheological, Mechanical and Sustainability Factors

Published on 2026-01-21 by Zhilu Jiang, Zhaowei Zhu, Deming Fang, Chuanqing Fu, Siyao Li, Yuxiang Jing @MDPI

Abstract: To address the high-carbon emissions associated with the large use of Portland cement (PC) in traditional engineered cementitious composites (ECCs) and the resource constraints on supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), this study proposes a strategy combining limestone calcined clay cement (LC3) as a PC replacement with the incorporation of hybrid synthetic fibers to develop low-carbon, environmentally friendly ECCs. The fundamental properties of the LC3-ECC were tested, and a sustainabili[...]


Our summary: This study develops low-carbon engineered cementitious composites (ECCs) using limestone calcined clay cement (LC3) and synthetic fibers. Experimental results show that specific mixtures enhance fluidity and tensile performance while reducing carbon emissions significantly. An integrated evaluation framework was established to optimize LC3-ECC mixture proportions for practical applications.
