Military active sonar and marine transportation are detrimental to the livelihood of mammals ecosystem. Early detection classification using machine learning can help humans mitigate harm mammals. This paper proposes a cross-covariance attended compact Feed-Forward Sequential Memory Network (CC-FSMN). The proposed framework shows improved efficiency over multiple convolutional neural network (C...

On June 2013 a workshop at the University of Siena (Italy) was organized to review current knowledge and to clarify what is known, and what remains to be investigated, concerning plastic litter in the sea. The content of the workshop was designed to contribute further to the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) following an inaugural workshop in 2012. Here we report a number of s...

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is the cleanest fossil fuel available, producing less carbon emissions and fewer pollutants than other fuels. Marine transportation a key process in LNG supply chain. The use of tank containers, which are portable equipment, can effectively facilitate multi-mode transportation. evaporation causes pressurization, safety concern during Ship motion environmental tempera...

feeding habits of caspian marine shad alosa braschnikowii (borodin, 1904), inhabiting in the western part of caspian sea such as prey spectrum and seasonal dynamics have been studied. as in other parts of caspian sea, throughout the year, the main hunt of caspian marine shad constituted kilkas, gobies and shrimps while other groups of zoobenthos were represented in a lesser extent. importance o...

Abstract This article tries to see if hydrogen can represent the future of marine transportation. presents all types and ways in which it be produced. Major ship-owners companies’ policy regarding use for ship propulsion is presented as well how P&I Clubs view problem. The conclusion arguments drawbacks this issue. In paper, author analyzes alternative a source energy maritime

We are pleased to introduce this collection of papers covering different aspects of intelligent transportation systems. These papers were selected from a list of papers presented at the Intelligent Transportation Systems Conference and Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, jointly held in Detroit, MI, October 3–5, 2000. In order to bear witness and celebrate the large success of these two scientific ...

Drugs from the sea? Darwin may not have considered this concept when he was thinking about mechanisms that drove diversification of life on earth. In recognition of his 200th year, and celebration of the publication in 1859 of his "On the origin of species", we review the global status of marine biodiscovery in medicinal fields, with a focus on the South Pacific. Furthermore, in the Darwinian s...
