Several oil spill disasters have been reported in the last decade, posing a major threat to marine ecosystem, damaging life, vital for protecting environment, and reducing economic losses. In order reduce or clean spill, one needs create cost-effective detection system, including its source, extent, quantity estimate, range of probable transport paths, weather sea conditions. Thermal polarimetr...

What are the attitudinal consequences of growing pervasiveness populism and nativism? We conceive both nativism as binary moral frameworks predicated on an antagonistic relationship between ‘us’ ‘them’. Our study investigates presence spillover effects these two forms ingroup-outgroup thinking among survey respondents in Netherlands. posit that exposure to populist (nativist) messages fuels (po...

Killer whales were photographed in oil after the 1989 ‘Exxon Valdez’ oil spill, but preliminary damage assessments did not definitively link mortalities to the spill and could not evaluate recovery. In this study, photo-identification methods were used to monitor 2 killer whale populations 5 yr prior to and for 16 yr after the spill. One resident pod, the AB Pod, and one transient population, t...

The primary goal of the register allocation phase in a compiler is to minimize register spills to memory. Spill decisions by the allocator are often made based on the costs of spilling a virtual register and, therefore, on an assumed placement of spill instructions. However, because most allocators make these decisions incrementally, placement opportunities can change as allocation proceeds, ca...

BACKGROUND The 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster led to the largest ever marine oil spill. Individuals who worked on the spill were exposed to toxicants and stressors that could lead to adverse effects. OBJECTIVES The GuLF STUDY was designed to investigate relationships between oil spill exposures and multiple potential physical and mental health effects. METHODS Participants were recruited b...

Abstract Monitoring and regulating discharges of wastewater pollution in water bodies England is the duty Environment Agency. Identification reporting events from treatment plants operators. Nevertheless, 2018, over 400 sewage incidents were reported by public. We present novel event methodologies to identify likely untreated spills plants. Daily effluent flow patterns at two supplemented opera...

We used an established seagrass monitoring programme to examine the short and longer-term impacts of an oil spill event on intertidal seagrass meadows. Results for potentially impacted seagrass areas were compared with existing monitoring data and with control seagrass meadows located outside of the oil spill area. Seagrass meadows were not significantly affected by the oil spill. Declines in s...

This paper presents an operational synthesis of major oil spill response methods (mechanical, chemical, etc.) and the corresponding oil response equipment for sea context (booms, skimmers, etc.). We focus on important features of oil spill response, in order to formulate a decision-based database, capable of supporting the development of a complete oil spill response operation. Moreover, we cla...

We use age distributions of sea otters (Enhydra lutris) found dead on beaches of western Prince William Sound, Alaska, between 1976 and 1998 in conjunction with time-varying demographic models to test for lingering effects from the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill. Our results show that sea otters in this area had decreased survival rates in the years following the spill and that the effects of the ...
