We analyzed suicide mortality by occupation using administrative data from 1993 to 2016. Methods: National death records from 1993 to 2016 of the Korea National Statistical Office (KNSO) were used. Suicidal death was taken from Korean Classification of Disease codes as intentional self-harm (X60–X84) ...
Building large-scale IoT applications requires enormous infrastructural support. As infrastructure we understand hardware, software and communication channels necessary to ensure interconnection between various heterogeneous components. Project CPS/IoT Ecosystems explores infrastructural requirements ...
This work addresses a realization of a compact ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) for monitoring in a dark and turbid aquaculture environment. A six degree-of-freedom ROV with four thrusters is implemented, in which a novel structure is proposed to solve the heeling problem better. In addition, a lighting ...
Unprecedented massive landings of Sargassum are regularly registered since 2011 along the shorelines of a huge area encompassing French Guyana, the Antilles and Caribbean Sea. The phenomenon affects widely the West Indies (Guadeloupe, Martinique, Barbados ...), Dominican Republic, Mexico, etc. and many ...
Psychological fish catches are designed and successfully applied to an optimization criterion for machine-learning-based predictors. In automatic fish catch prediction, prediction errors allowed by fishery workers differ depending on fish catches. Such error tolerance has not been considered both in ...
Maritime surveillance systems are used in a wide range of applications such as fisheries control and port surveillance. These systems can rely on ship classification modules providing high level information on the detected ships using data collected through electro-optical sensors. In this work, we ...
Determining fishing spots is an important decision-making for fishery. Fishers use environmental pattern information such as tide and vortex, and this process can be thought of as a good fishing spot determination problem from sea water temperature patterns. In this paper, we address this problem by ...
In this paper, we present a spatial land cover classification and hydrologic characteristics analysis to understand red tide occurrence in Lampung Bay, Indonesia, by using high resolution satellite images (WorldView-3) and digital elevation (DEM) data. Red tide causes damage to ecosystems, fisheries ...
Observations of spatial and temporal distribution of low and mid trophic level organisms traditionally rely on ship-based measurements. The integration of fisheries research echosounders on surface and sub-surface unmanned vehicles change this situation and facilitate persistent monitoring of these ...
Vessel Monitoring Systems (VMS) records trajectory data of fishing vessels, which provides a new tool for fishery research. Previous research distinguished the activities for fishing vessels and analyzed the fishing effort distribution. This paper proposes a nontrivial question that whether there are ...
Unmanned Marine Vehicles (UMVs) as well as manned vessels increasingly populate our seas. This brings novel challenges such as collision avoidance between manned and unmanned vehicles. With recent developments in the so-called Autonomous Ships topic and large Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), the ...
This work reports on the maritime use case development and evaluation of the prototype of the project Big Data Analytics for Time Critical Mobility Forecasting (datAcron), which was funded by the European Union Horizon 2020 programme. datAcron aimed at developing novel methods to detect threats and ...
The main objective of the work described here concerns the development of automatic ICT procedures in charge of processing imagery data captured by satellite-borne sensors to assess the status of a given maritime area. The mentioned assessment may refer to the detection and identification of peculiar ...
Background: We aimed to investigate the clinical value of detecting 14 food intolerances. Methods: A total of 312 patients with food intolerance enrolled in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Qiqihar Medical University (Qiqihar, China) from Feb 2016 to Feb 2017 were selected. ELISA was used to detect ...
Different developmental stages of Artemia spp. (metanauplii, juveniles and adults) were bath-challenged with two isolates of the Lymphocystis disease virus (LCDV), namely, LCDV SA25 (belonging to the species Lymphocystis disease virus 3) and ATCC VR-342 (an unclassified member of the genus Lymphocystivirus). ...
Background: A sizable cross-sectional studies demonstrated a low dietary diversity in Southern Ethiopia. However, its seasonal trend has not been well studied in areas where nutrient-poor enset (false banana (Ensete ventricosum)) foods are major staple. Moreover, there is scarcity of information on ...
Background: Mercury is a neurotoxin that affects neurodevelopment in children; however, its association at the lowest concentration is not clear. The main objective of this study is to measure and evaluate mercury concentrations in mother–child pairs and its association demographics, lifestyle, and ...
In circumstances where total dissolved gas (TDG) levels are variable, the peak TDG and duration are expected to be the dominant drivers of fish survival. Focusing on the peak TDG and duration in natural rivers, a laboratory experiment and field experiments in the upper Yangtze River were conducted with ...
Innovative tools for assessing food and nutrient intakes in adolescence are essential to uncover the long-term effects of diet on chronic diseases. Here, we developed and compared a web-based self-administered food frequency questionnaire (web-FFQ) with a traditional interviewer printed FFQ (print-FFQ) ...
This study was performed to improve the ability to predict the concentrations of Escherichia coli in oyster meat and estuarine waters by using environmental parameters, and microbiological and heavy metal contamination from shellfish growing area in southern Thailand. Oyster meat (n = 144) and estuarine ...
