Boat traffic and resulting wakes are among the major human-mediated stressors on coastal ecosystems. Modulation of sediment transport by tides in an intertidal waterway with boat is studied here. The hypothesis that cause significant increases settings tested. Field observations tides, currents, turbidity were collected a transect within Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway Northeast Florida, USA. Hy...

Salmonella enterica is one of the most important bacterial enteric pathogens worldwide. However, little is known about its distribution and diversity in the environment. The present study explored the diversity of 104 strains of Salmonella enterica isolated over 2 years from 12 coastal waterways in central California. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and multilocus sequence typing were u...

In Yangtze River traffic management, to manage ship sequencing and scheduling effectively efficiently in restricted waterways has long been a challenging issue. This paper proposes Sliding Window based Online Sequencing Scheduling algorithm (OSS-SW) tackle this problem. The OSS is capable of generating more efficient sequence by introducing the ‘position shift’ concept which takes advantages sh...
