Iron-Clad Sea-Going Shield Ships

On Applying Artificial Intelligence Techniques to Building Sea-Going Ships

Sea-going ships are autonomous complex objects that are intensively automatized due to safety and economic factors. The issue is complicated enough to entail a need for powerful methods such as Artificial Intelligence techniques. This repon gives a brief description of several problems of ship-building for which Artificial Intelligence techniques seem to be particularly suitable. They include: ...

Varicella at sea: a two-year study on cruise ships.

BACKGROUND Being highly contagious by person-to-person transmission, varicella can easily spread within the multinational population of a cruise ship and into communities ashore. The aim of the study was to report the prevalence of varicella infections in a fleet of cruise ships during a two-year period and to discuss measures to prevent and contain shipboard outbreaks. MATERIAL AND METHODS A...
