Abstract Carbon dioxide transport from capture to utilization or storage locations plays key functions in carbon capture and storage systems. In this study a comprehensive overview and technical guidelines are provided for CO2 pipeline transport systems. Design specifications, construction procedures, cost, safety regulations, environmental and risk aspects are presented and discussed. Furthermore, challenges and future research directions associated with CO2 transport are sorted out including the large capital and operational costs, integrity, flow assurance, and safety issues. A holistic assessment of the impurities' impacts on corrosion rate and phase change of the transported stream is required to improve pipeline integrity. The influence of impurities and the changes in elevation on the pressure drop along the pipeline need to be further investigated to ensure continuous flow via accurate positioning of pumping stations. Although the long-experience in oil and gas pipeline industry forms powerful reference, it is necessary to develop particular standards and techno-economic frameworks to mitigate the barriers facing CO2 transport systems. Digital twins (DT) have potential to transform CO2 transport sector to achieve high reliability, availability and maintainability at lower cost. Herein, an integrated 5-component robust DT framework is proposed for CO2 pipeline transport systems and the future directions for DT development are insinuated. Data-driven-algorithms capable of predicting system's dynamic behavior still need to be developed. The data-driven approach alone is not sufficient and low-order physics based models should operate in tandem with the updated system parameters to allow interpretation and result's enhancing. Discrepancies between dynamic-system-models, anomaly-detection and deep-learning require in-depth localized off-line simulations.

In recent years, there is a need for new methods and frameworks for planning transport systems, improving their efficiency, and addressing globalisation and sustainability challenges. In addition, the use of existing capacities and infrastructure has raised significant issues in the transport sector. To achieve an economically, environmentally, and socially sustainable logistics ecosystem, Benoit Montreuil introduces the concept of “Physical Internet” (PI) to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of logistics networks. As a ground-breaking transportation philosophy, the PI aims to revolutionise freight and logistics transport. Moreover, the PI can enhance logistics productivity through the organisation of large-scale pooling. Similar to Digital Internet that conveys data, the PI strives to connect, synchronise, and ship regular modular containers from the point of origin to an exact destination, thereby creating robust and collaborative logistics networks. While the literature on the PI is relatively growing, there is still a lack of reviews that synthesise this knowledge body, identify current trends and gaps, and advance the research more broadly.  Therefore, this study aims to investigate the potentials of the PI for the development of sustainable logistics networks. Overall, 59 studies are selected from leading academic databases and further analysed. The review findings reveal that most scholars focus on the optimisation of transport at the tactical and organisational stage while devoting little attention to the contribution of the PI to the social sustainability of logistics compared to the economic and environmental aspects.

In vivo experiments were carried out to determine the relative effects of carbonic anhydrase (CA) infusion or inhibition on carbon dioxide (CO2) transport and acid-base status in the arterial and venous blood of sea lampreys recovering from exhaustive exercise. Infusion of CA into the extracellular fluid did not significantly affect CO2 transport or acid-base status in exercised lampreys. In contrast, infusion of the CA inhibitor acetazolamide resulted in a respiratory acidosis in the blood of recovering lampreys. In acetazolamide-treated lampreys, the post-exercise extracellular pH (pHe) of arterial blood was significantly lower than that in the saline-infused (control) lampreys. The calculated arterial and venous partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) and the total CO2 concentration in whole blood (CCO2wb) and red blood cells (CCO2rbc) during recovery in the acetazolamide-infused lampreys were also significantly greater than those values in the saline-infused control lampreys. These results suggest that the CO2 reactions in the extracellular compartment of lampreys may already be in equilibrium and that the access of plasma bicarbonate to CA is probably not the sole factor limiting CO2 transport in these animals. Furthermore, endogenous red blood cell CA clearly has an important role in CO2 transport in exercising lampreys.

Enhanced oil recovery schemes involve the transportation of large volumes of carbon dioxide from the capture source to the utilisation site. This research presents the possibilities of carbon dioxide transport using pipeline from the selected emission point to the oil reservoir located in Poland where greenhouse gas can be used as injecting fluid to improve oil production. In the first step, the different CO2 thermodynamic states are analyzed. For the design purpose, length, operating pressures and flow rates are determined, then pipeline diameter is calculated. Furthermore, the pipeline transmission schemes for CO2 transport are proposed. The study revealed, that the large amount of CO2 produced at source power plant can be transported to the oilfield site more efficiently when CO2 is converted into the liquid state. As a result, the smaller pipeline diameter can be applied for the transmission. Moreover, temperature decrease is observed when CO2 is transported in gaseous state and temperature increase is present when CO2 is in the liquefied state.

Carbon dioxide transport and ion distributions were examined in the blood of the lamprey, Petromyzon marinus. Over the PCOCO2 range studied, the erythrocytes had the highest total CO2 content, followed by whole blood and true plasma. The nonbicarbonate buffer values were −37.0mequiv l−1 pH unit−1 for erythrocytes, −3.3 mequiv 1−1 pH unit−1 for whole blood and −0.1 mequiv 1−1 pH unit−1 for true plasma. These results are in sharp contrast to the models of carbon dioxide transport in the blood of other vertebrates and are consistent with the view that chloride/bicarbonate exchange is virtually absent in agnathan erythrocytes. Protons are passively distributed in Petromyzon blood. However, the distribution ratio for chloride between plasma and erythrocytes was strikingly different fromthe distribution ratio for protons. In the absence of rapid chloride/bicarbonate exchange, the erythrocyte volume is relatively constant over the physiological pH range. A model is presented to explain carbon dioxide transport in lamprey blood which does not involve a rapid chloride/bicarbonate exchange mechanism on the erythrocyte membrane.

The motorcycle market has experienced an upward trend. That growth brings along mobility, accidents, and environment-related issues; nevertheless, there is a scarcity of literature on evaluating the impact of motorcycle market policies. Consequently, it has been challenging for researchers and policymakers to develop evidence-based strategies to promote or control the growth of this market. This paper aims to review and analyze the scientific literature about motorcycle market policies, using tech-mining techniques and a cluster analysis of keywords, to provide insights about the most relevant world trends in this research area. For this purpose, the bibliographic information of publications in the field was retrieved from the Scopus database. As a result, three thematic clusters (sustainability, mobility, and electric motorcycles) were identified and explained. According to our findings, greenhouse gas emissions, sustainability, environmental impact, and developing countries are the hot research topics. The research leader countries on said topics are the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom. This study can, therefore, be used as a reference to define a future research agenda in the area. Consequently, it permits researchers and policymakers to identify trending topics and gaps in knowledge, as a baseline to include motorcycles in sustainable and affordable transport systems design.

<?page nr="117"?>Abstract Calls for higher education institutions to implement improvements guided by “data-driven” processes are prevalent and widespread. Despite the pervasiveness of this turn toward data, research on how data-use works on the ground in postsecondary institutions—that is, how individuals within institutions make sense of education data and use it to inform practice—is still developing.Drawing on Habermas’ Theory of Communicative Action (TCA), critical-race theory, and methodological guidance on critical-qualitative research methods, this paper synthesizes methodological and substantive insights from P–12 data-use research, with an eye to applying these insights to critical questions on postsecondary educational equity. The result of the review and analysis is a theoretical framework and a set of methodological recommendations for future research on the perceptions and experiences of college faculty, administrators, and practitioners, regarding their data-use and its implications for equity.
