Potential of luminescent bacteria in production of metal nanoparticles (NPs) has not been well evaluated up until now. These bacteria contain lux operon which is included of reductase enzymes, by increasing bacterial cell density, the expression of aldehyde synthetic enzymes elevate and enhance the ...
The Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to change society, although it is a general-purpose technology and its concrete application, value, and feasibility are still obscure. In this study, we explored plausible social issues to which IoT solutions can be applied. First, we extracted promising research ...
This study aimed to determine blending options for Roselle-Tung biodiesel and estimate the difference in the environmental impacts of vegetable oil-based biodiesel and its blends compare to petroleum diesel when discharging into Ha Long Bay.
Aquaculture structures comprising suspended canopies extending from the free surface to a point above the sediment are represented as porous blockages in a hydrodynamic surface-water model. These canopies alter flow conditions and material transport within and around the structure, especially between ...
The Oceans of Tomorrow (OoT) projects, funded by the European Commission's FP7 program, are developing a new generation of sensors supporting physical, biogeochemical and biological oceanographic monitoring. The sensors range from acoustic to optical fluorometers to labs on a chip. The result is that ...
Sometimes referred to as the ‘Serengeti of the Sea’, the one-of-a-kind Monterey Bay of California is now embracing a new name, the ‘Blue Silicon Valley’ which aptly describes the world's leading sustainable, marine science research and development region. The Monterey Bay, one of the largest marine ...
The 2015 Gold King Mine spill exposed the Animas River (located in Durango, Colorado) to over 3 million gallons of toxic water with spiked levels of arsenic and lead among other metals. In response to public concern for the quality of the river's water, a water quality monitoring system has been developed ...
We present the Autonomous Microbiological Alert Sensor (AMAS), an automatic and remotely-controlled microbiology sensor for field Total Coliform (TC) and Escherichia Coli (E. coli) quantification at remote or difficult-to-access sites. Deployed directly in the environment like a floating buoy, the AMAS ...
INESC TEC is strongly committed to become a center of excellence in maritime technology and, in particular, deep sea technology. The STRONGMAR project aims at creating solid and productive links in the global field of marine science and technology between INESC TEC and established leading research European ...
In this paper, we try to develop a general framework of 3D shape reconstruction strategy with extremely rare point cloud extracted for fish ethology research. Particle filter is first taken to focus on fish trajectory tracking from monocular video sequence. The Speeded Up Robust Features (SURF) technique ...
Aquaculture processes usually take place in remote and harsh environments, and are highly dependent on uncontrollable and unpredictable variables, therefore its monitoring and supervision can be a key factor in this activity. Taking that into account, this paper proposes a solution for a Remote Supervision ...
The Australian Coastal Ocean Radar Network measures current, wave and wind parameters from an array of HF radar systems. A network of CODAR and WERA radars have been operating in Australia since 2007. This paper describes some data quality issues identified using the phased-array systems and the techniques ...
The detection of moving objects in a scene is a well researched but depending on the concrete research still often a challenging computer vision task. Usually it is the first step in a whole pipeline and all following algorithms (tracking, classification etc.) are dependent on the accuracy of the detection. ...
Underwater acoustic communication can be divided into two categories on the basis of water depth: shallow water and deep water communications, both have their own challenges to be dealt with. The effects of some factors are more in shallow water than in deep water like surface noise, temperature gradients, ...
Four-rotor dish-shaped UUV is a new type of equipment for aquaculture to survey water pollution, which can land on the seabed by extending the hydraulic support. In this paper, the instability state of the UUV is defined, and the mathematical model of the instability state is established. Unstructured ...
There is still much to learn about ocean ecosystems. Long-term, continuous observations of underwater environments can help improve our understanding. This is especially important as we continue to develop ocean energy resources. The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and the University of ...
This paper explores the effectiveness of interactive simulation for teaching a selected complex subject, Ecology, in higher education. Specifically, we carry out a lab intervention using interactive agent based simulation, to teach the complex concept of spatially-explicit predator prey interaction ...
Pervasive computing enabled by wireless network technologies span a wide area of applications in modern living. Heterogeneous devices used in Internet of Things are highly constrained in terms of energy efficiency. Aquaculture is a technique of human intervention in the rearing process of aquatic animals. ...
Presents the table of contents/splash page of the proceedings record.
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) provide reliable and affordable infrastructure for various applications ranging from environmental monitoring, industrial automation, telemedicine, to military surveillance. These networks allow monitoring processes to be conducted remotely, in real-time and with minimal ...
