Marine buoys aid in the battle against Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing by detecting fishing vessels in their vicinity. Marine buoys, however, may be disrupted by natural causes and buoy vandalism. In this paper, we formulate marine buoy placement as a clustering problem, and propose ...
An aerobic denitrification strain, Pseudomonas balearica RAD-17, was identified and showed efficient inorganic nitrogen removal ability. The average NO3−-N, NO2−-N, and total ammonium nitrogen (TAN) removal rate (>95% removal efficiency) in a batch test was 6.22 mg/(L∙h), 6.30 mg/(L∙h), and 1.56 ...
Nutritional improvements in intensive aquaculture production systems is necessary for the reduction of stress, maximum utilization of nutritional components, and expression of the genetic potential of fish. The objective of this study was to evaluate the hemato-immunological, and histological parameters ...
The eastern Baltic cod (Gadus morhua) population has been decreasing in the Baltic Sea for at least 30 years. Condition indices of the Baltic cod have decreased, and previous studies have suggested that this might be due to overfishing, predation, lower dissolved oxygen or changes in salinity. However, ...
A kind of life jacket, including main body, it is a pair of before coupling member after coupling member and a pair.Main body is divided into the front for surrounding abdomen and chest, and surrounds the rear portion at back, and memory space is defined in rear portion.Coupling member extends from ...
The present invention relates to an articulated mounting for a visor. The articulated mounting (100) supports spectacles. The articulated mounting has a first arm (20) and a second arm (30) connected together at a first pivot (40A); a first end (21) of the first arm is pivotally connected to a second ...
The present invention relates to a protective device (1) for protecting a proximal interphalangeal joint and a distal interphalangeal joint of a human finger. The device comprises a flexible sheath (3) for wearing around the human finger and at least four motion constraining elements (4) integrated ...
A helmet with video acquisition device and display, comprising a helmet shell on which at least one video acquisition device is fixed, and a display arranged at one end of a front piece of the helmet; further comprising elements to allow the movement of the display laterally with respect to the active ...
The present invention relates to a liferaft system comprising a container containing an inflatable liferaft and means for inflating the liferaft by means of an inflating gas, preferably carbon dioxide or a mixture of gases, where the container furthermore contains means for heating the system.
Background Although previous studies have underscored some unique inequalities in occupational mortality in Japan, many of these trends have been dramatically altered during recent decades. We analyzed mortality data by occupation and industry in Japan, to determine whether differences remained by ...
Navigation in the Arctic is of growing importance in the 21st century. This chapter discusses current methods of ice navigation as well as foreshadows future technologies. It begins with current maritime technologies used in the Arctic today along with their limitations and challenges. This includes ...
Cultural Algorithms are a knowledge‐intensive framework that is based on how human cultural systems adjust their structures and contents to address changes in their environments. While there is wide variety of ways in which the Cultural Algorithms can be implemented, there is a general metaphor that ...
Recently it has been found that the earth's oceans are warming at a pace that is 40% faster than predicted by a United Nations panel a few years ago. As a result, 2018 has become the warmest year on record for the earth's oceans. That is because the oceans have acted as a buffer by absorbing 93% of ...
CAPSO is a parallelized hybrid optimization system designed for solving multiobjective problems. CAPSO combines elements from Cultural Algorithms (CAs), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and Vector‐Evaluated Genetic Algorithms (VEGAs). CAPSO works by dividing a large search space between multiple particle ...
A thorough look at how societies can use cultural algorithms to understand human social evolution For those working in computational intelligence, developing an understanding of how cultural algorithms and social intelligence form the essential framework for the evolution of human social interaction ...
In the United States, extensive investments have been made to restore the ecological function and services of coastal marine habitats. Despite a growing body of science supporting coastal restoration, few studies have addressed the suite of societally enabling conditions that helped facilitate successful ...
Abstract The complete mitochondrial genome of the orange-spotted trevally, Carangoides bajad, which belongs to the family Carangidae was determined. The complete mitochondrial genome has a length of 16,556 bp and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and a control region. ...
Abstract The complete mitochondrial genome of the Hexagrammos agrammus is presented in this study. The mitochondrial genome is 16,512 bp long and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and a control region. The gene order and composition were similar to those of most other ...
Abstract The Chagos archipelago in the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT) has been lacking in detailed genetic studies of its chondrichthyan populations. Chondrichthyes in Chagos continue to be endangered through illegal fishing operations, necessitating species distribution and abundance studies ...
Abstract We present the mitochondrial genome sequence of a gray reef shark, Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos (Bleeker 1856), a coral reef associated species. This is the first mitogenome for this species from the western Indian Ocean. The mitogenome is 16,705 bp in length, has 13 protein-coding genes, 22 ...
