Analytical Study on Rotational Restraint of Sheathing

Working with alarms on ships ICT work on ships

Alarm indicators are a very simple and important user interface for many control tasks, and are known to be problematic. Alarms on ships have increased in number and importance. Recent incidents such as Savannah Express, Aquitaine and others have identified a number of important issues in the way that alarm systems support safe and effective work. The state of alarm systems onboard is inconsist...

Re-Sheathing the Scimitar Syndrome

Scimitar Syndrome is a congenital condition resulting in anomalous pulmonary venous drainage from the lung into the inferior vena cava. It is often associated with cardiac and pulmonary abnormalities, both which are determinants in the severity and timing of presentation. True incidence of this condition is unknown and likely to be significantly underestimated as many patients remain asymptomat...

Constructing rules for dismantling ships.

Labor groups, environmental activists, and shipping experts have begun finalizing international guidelines that would reduce threats from toxic substances released during the ship scrapping process and would protect the health and safety of laborers who dismantle ships. In June 2001, government representatives and stakeholders in the ship dismantling industry gathered in Geneva, Switzerland, to...

Rudder roll stabilization for ships

Advanced control algorithms using LQG and adaptive control techniques enable the design of an economically attractive alternative for conventional fin stabilizers and have proved to be robust during simulation experiments and full-scale trials. Abstract-This paper describes the design of an autopilot for rudder roll stabilization for ships. This autopilot uses the rudder not only for course kee...
