A ship, gradually lowering sail

Fast Sail Assisted Feeder Container Ship

An environmentally sustainable fast sail assisted feeder (FSAF) container ship concept with a maximum operational speed of 25 knots has been developed for the 2020 South East (S.E.) Asian and Caribbean feeder container markets. The use of low-carbon and zero-sulphur fuel (liquefied natural gas) and improvements in operational efficiency (cargo handling and scheduling) mean predicted green house...

Gradually Varied Surfaces and Gradually Varied Functions

The gradually varied surface was introduced and studied in digital and discrete spaces by Chen. The basic idea of introducing gradually varied surfaces is to employ a purely discrete interpolation algorithm to fit a discrete surface when the desired surface is not required to be “smooth.” In this paper, we generalize the concept of gradually varied surfaces. A digital surface is defined as a ma...

Starting to Sail

lent, considered by many to be one of the best sailing areas in the country, provided an opportunity not to be missed. Although my initial trip out was in a yacht, most of my early experience was in dinghies less expensive to buy and to repair if damaged. The first dinghy I shared was with three other equally inexperienced friends. We bought a 14 foot fibre glass family dinghy through Exchange ...

SAIL: A hybrid approach to sentiment analysis

This paper describes our submission for SemEval2013 Task 2: Sentiment Analysis in Twitter. For the limited data condition we use a lexicon-based model. The model uses an affective lexicon automatically generated from a very large corpus of raw web data. Statistics are calculated over the word and bigram affective ratings and used as features of a Naive Bayes tree model. For the unconstrained da...
