This research paper explores the use of AdaBoost algorithm for predicting residential habitation status in aftermath Mount Merapi eruption. Using a dataset from Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Task Force, with 2516 instances 11 attributes, model was trained evaluated. The demonstrated robust performance an accuracy 92%, though it struggled correctly identifying all 'No Habited' instances. The...

• Maximum speed in a seaway: 'involuntary' speed reduction due to added resistance in waves and 'voluntary' speed reduction to avoid excessive motions, loads etc. • Route optimization (routing) to minimize, e.g., transport time, fuel consumption, or total cost. • Structural design of the ship with respect to loads in seaways. • Habitation comfort and safety of people on board: motion sickness, ...
