This paper is a sequel to the authors’ earlier article, which addressed safe layout design of liquified natural gas (LNG) fueled facilities for preventing LNG or (NG) leaks. aims develop new method designing safety zone LNG-fueled ships during truck-to-ship bunkering. While deterministic approach has limitations in practical application, hybrid suggested as an advanced solution. In this regard,...

In enclosure experiments in the littoral zone of Lake Constance, Germany, juvenile cyprinids showed significantly reduced somatic growth in the shallow eulittoral zone (0 5 m depth) compared to the sublittoral zone (1 6 m depth). Growth was especially reduced in larger and more deep-bodied fish groups, providing evidence that this is due to increased hydrodynamic stress, induced by ship and win...

Regulatory T cells (T(regs)) play a pivotal role in preventing autoimmunity, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and organ graft rejection. We previously showed that either germline or induced SH2 domain-containing inositol 5-phosphatase (SHIP) deficiency in the host abrogates GVHD. Here we show that SHIP deficiency promotes an increase of CD4(+)CD25(+)FoxP3(+) T(regs) and CD4(+)CD25(-)FoxP3(+)"n...

Reliable ship detection plays an important role in both military and civil fields. However, it makes the task difficult with high-resolution remote sensing images with complex background and various types of ships with different poses, shapes and scales. Related works mostly used gray and shape features to detect ships, which obtain results with poor robustness and efficiency. To detect ships m...

Ship detection and classification with space-borne SAR has many potential applications within the maritime surveillance, fishery activity management, monitoring ship traffic, and military security. While ship detection techniques with SAR imagery are well established, ship classification is still an open issue. One of the main reasons may be ascribed to the difficulties on acquiring the require...

Tyrosine phosphorylation of Shc in response to B cell Ag receptor (BCR) engagement creates binding sites for the Src homology 2 (SH2) domain of Grb2. This facilitates the recruitment of both Grb2. Sos complexes and Grb2. SHIP complexes to the plasma membrane where Sos can activate Ras and SH2 domain-containing inositol phosphatase (SHIP) can dephosphorylate phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosph...

Analyzed and summarized the research results on the ship target detection and identification in SAR imagery. The characteristics of the ship target recognition in SAR imagery are listed. Ship target recognition techniques are introduced. And the ship detection and recognition algorithms have been reviewed and analyzed. The main problems on ship detection and recognition process have been descri...

Ferry accidents often occur the result of ship handling difficulty which interfacing human, machine and environment. Therefore, a decision tool model as a comprehensive information system, based on the ship handling difficulty, needs to be developed through the combination of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Fuzzy Logic System. The Fuzzy Logic System part consists of ship condition, ship ha...

In this study, basic experiments regarding the wireless sensor network were conducted on a 3,000-ton-class training ship as the first step in applying the ubiquitous technology to a real ship. Various application fields of the technology in terms of the provision of safety and convenience on a ship would be extracted through these experiments. To efficiently adopt the ubiquitous technology for ...

We have previously demonstrated that the NKR repertoire is profoundly disrupted by SHIP deficiency. This repertoire disruption is characterized by receptor dominance where inhibitory signals from 2B4 repress killing of complex targets expressing MHC class I and activating ligands. In this study, we examine the molecular basis of receptor dominance in SHIP-/- NK cells. In this study, we show tha...
