Gesture-to-sound mapping is generally defined as the association between gestural and sound parameters. This article describes an approach that brings forward the perception–action loop as a fundamental design principle for gesture–sound mapping in digital music instrument. Our approach considers the ...
The United States Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS®) is a user-driven, coordinated network of people, organizations, and technology that generate and disseminate continuous data about our coastal waters, Great Lakes, and oceans supported by strong research and development activities. IOOS® is ...
While the genetic basis to plate morph evolution of the three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) is well described, the environmental variables that select for different plate and spine morphs are incompletely understood. Using replicate populations of three-spined sticklebacks on North Uist, ...
Gliderpalooza represented a grass-roots coordinated field demonstration of ocean observing technologies spanning the eastern seaboard of North America. The overarching goal was to coordinate disparate ocean research efforts, funded by disparate programs from a variety of agencies to demonstrate continental ...
Image-guided surgery is today considered to be of significant importance in neurosurgical applications. However, one of its major shortcomings is its reliance on preoperative image data, which does not account for the intraoperative brain deformations and displacements that occur during surgery. In ...
The Marine Environmental Research Lab for Intelligent Vehicles (MERLIN) operates an Explorer Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) that serves as a potential platform for ocean surveys over a broad range of disciplines. MERLIN undertook a four year development program to improve both the capacity and ...
In recent years, vessel traffic and maritime situation awareness become more and more important for countries across the world. AIS data contains much information about vessel motion and reflects traffic characteristics. In this paper, data mining is introduced to discover motion patterns of vessel ...
Introduction Seabirds have been historically used to monitor environmental contamination. The aim of the present study was to test the suitability of a species belonging to the Procellariiformes group, the Manx shearwater, Puffinus puffinus, as a sentinel of environmental health, by determining contaminant ...
Underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) have recently received a significant amount of attention. Since they have delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs) characteristics, the design of any UWSN scheme must take DTN influences into account, especially in routing protocols. Many researchers have ...
Coastal zone is the triple interface of land, ocean and atmosphere. Any developmental activity along the coastal zone requires a clear understanding of the dynamic processes controlling its very existence. When most of the processes, which are common to all coastlines are quite well known, there are ...
Based on the traditional transmission expansion planning(TEP) model,this paper uses chance-constrained programming method which combined with Monte Carlo simulation and Latin hypercube sampling(LHS) to handle dependencies among the input random variables. It can use to study the impact of wind speed ...
Current maritime communications rely on expensive or proprietary technology, such as satellite, WiMAX, and narrowband HF radios. Broadband communications are limited to the near shore 3G/4G coverage provided by mobile operators. The usage of unlicensed and IEEE 802.11 networks may provide ship owners ...
OVERLOOKING the Celebes Sea on the northernmost tip of Indonesia's island of Sulawesi, Stephen Urquhart and I are drinking iced tea in the sweltering equatorial heat and humidity. We've just returned from a long drive to the coastal village of Bahoi, where a handful of villagers eke out a modest subsistence ...
Metabolic engineering of omega-3 long-chain (≥C20) polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω3 LC-PUFA) in oilseeds has been one of the key targets in recent years. By expressing a transgenic pathway for enhancing the synthesis of the ω3 LC-PUFA docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) from endogenous α-linolenic acid (ALA), ...
Background: Monitoring of human exposure to mercury is important due to its adverse health effects. This study aimed to determine the extent of mercury exposure among mothers and their children in Ireland, and to identify factors associated with elevated levels. It formed part of the Demonstration of ...
ABSTRACT% Objectives: Mercury combined with other metals to form solid amalgams has long been used in reconstructive dentistry but its use has been controversial since at least the middle of the 19th century. The exposure and body burden of mercury reviews have consistently stated that there is a deficiency ...
Soil mechanical properties of the seabed are related to a number of challenges in the development of ocean renewable energy. Early site assessment is an important part of the development of an ocean renewable energy project, and soil mechanical and sediment dynamical site characteristics should already ...
Highly contaminated sediments exist in harbors and coastal environments due to shipping, poor management of waste, and anthropogenic inputs. Contaminated sediment is detrimental to fisheries, shell fishing, benthic communities, and human health. Measurement of heavy metals in sediments is of interest ...
Placentia Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada contains numerous islands and shoals, and is a busy bay with large marine vessel traffic, fishers and small-craft users. Placentia Bay is second only to the Port of Vancouver in Canada in terms of the annual value of goods shipped. The SmartBay applied ...
In October 2012, Fisheries and Oceans Canada began collection of two years of near-continuous autonomous acoustic recordings in the Gully Marine Protected Area and adjacent slope areas between the Gully and Shortland canyon, and between Shortland and Haldimand canyons south of Nova Scotia, Canada. Data ...
