The concept of ALBA vehicles has been developed under the consideration of long term autonomous instrumentation for oceans research applications. Among their prospective missions, there are three of particular interests: water column survey, early event detection (oil spill and HAB) and water sampling, ...
In this paper the issue of on-line adaptation of the robot vision system to variations in the refractive index of the ambient fluid is being considered. This is achieved by developing an analytical model of the light propagation through the AUV water-dome-air interface before entering the camera optics. ...
Severe Fog-haze pollution speed up the high energy consumption, high pollution of coal enterprises to the low energy consumption, low emissions and low pollution economic model transition process. On the basis of the existing research, AHP combined with mathematical statistics method was used to establish ...
There is frost in Bohai bay every winter due to the geographical latitude and the cold air coming down from the north. The annual winter sea ice in the Bohai Bay has become a natural disaster which affects the port manipulation, shipping transportation severely. At present, the remote sensing technology ...
Pearl gentian grouper, Epinephelus lanceolatus × Epinephelus fuscoguttatus, is a hybrid species with increasing market requirement in China. A disease outbreak occurred in the fish juvenile stages in Shandong Province, P.R. China. The gross signs were characterized by mass mortality, exhibiting dark ...
This market analysis is based on the work performed for the EU/FP7 project NeXOS that focuses on preparing the new generation of multi-functional maritime sensors. Naturally, such a venture cannot be successful without a prior thorough assessment of the market status and an in depth understanding of ...
This study proposed an IoT (Internet of Things) system for the monitoring and control of the aquaculture platform. The proposed system is network surveillance combined with mobile devices and a remote platform to collect real-time farm environmental information. The real-time data is captured and displayed ...
Water is a fundamental element in urban environments, and water body extraction is important for landscape and urban planning. Remote sensing has increasingly been used for water body extraction; however, in urban environments, this kind of approaches is challenging because of the significant within-class ...
Presents an index of the authors whose articles are published in the conference proceedings record.
A novel and fully automatic rigid fish cage system has recently been developed for deployment in the waters of Korea. The cage structure has 12 sides, incorporating a steel framework with a diameter and depth of 5.92 and 2.91 m, respectively. Attached to the steel framework is a housing for motor valves ...
The objective of the NeXOS project is to develop cost-effective, innovative, and compact multifunctional sensor systems in ocean optics, ocean passive acoustics and for an Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries (EAF), which can be deployed from mobile and fixed platforms, with data services contributing to ...
Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) results from incompatibility between nuclear and cytoplasmic genomes, and is characterized by the inability to produce viable pollen. The restoration of male fertility generally involves the introgression of nuclear genes, termed restorers of fertility (Rf). CMS has ...
Background Roberts syndrome (RBS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder mainly characterized by growth retardation, limb defects and craniofacial anomalies. Characteristic cytogenetic findings are “railroad track” appearance of chromatids and premature centromere separation in metaphase spreads. Mutations ...
Vertebrate ectotherms such as reptiles provide ideal organisms for the study of adaptation to environmental thermal change. Comparative genomic and exomic studies can recover markers that diverge between warm and cold adapted lineages, but the genes that are functionally related to thermal adaptation ...
Artificial barriers have become ubiquitous features in freshwater ecosystems and they can significantly impact a region's biodiversity. Assessing the risk faced by fish forced to navigate their way around artificial barriers is largely based on assays of individual swimming behavior. However, social ...
Luminance vision has high spatial resolution and is used for form vision and texture discrimination. In humans, birds and bees luminance channel is spectrally selective—it depends on the signals of the long-wavelength sensitive photoreceptors (bees) or on the sum of long- and middle-wavelength sensitive ...
Modern resource management faces trade-offs in the provision of various ecosystem goods and services to humanity. For fisheries management to develop into an ecosystem-based approach, the goal is not only to maximize economic profits, but to consider equally important conservation and social equity ...
Background Commercial Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) farming is restricted by variable oocyte quality, slow growth, and early maturation of male fish. Maternally transferred components regulate early developmental processes; therefore, they have an effect on the future viability of the ...
Marine sponges harbour complex microbial communities of ecological and biotechnological importance. Here, we propose the application of the widespread sponge family Irciniidae as an appropriate model in microbiology and biochemistry research. Half a gram of one Irciniidae specimen hosts hundreds of ...
Background The heat sensitive factor (HSF) of the fish pathogen Yersinia ruckeri was previously identified as an unusual band on SDS-PAGE. According to this, Y. ruckeri strains were classified in HSF+ and HSF− in terms of the presence/absence of the factor. Experiments carried out by injection challenge ...
