The paper describes six methods of optimal and game theory and artificial neural network for synthesis of safe control in collision situations at sea. The application of optimal and game control algorithms to determine the own ship safe trajectory during the passing of other encountered ships in good and restricted visibility at sea is presented. The comparison of the safe ship cont...

Both offshore oil-gas exploration and marine methane hydrate recovery can trigger massive CH4 release from seafloor. During upward transportation of CH4 plume through water column, CH4 is subjected to dissolution and microbial consumption despite the protection of hydrate and oil coating on bubbles surface. The ultimate CH4 degassing to the atmosphere appears to be water-depth dependent. In sha...

The advancement of metabarcoding techniques, declining costs of high-throughput sequencing and development of systematic sampling devices, such as autonomous reef monitoring structures (ARMS), have provided the means to gather a vast amount of diversity data from cryptic marine communities. However, such increased capability could also lead to analytical challenges if the methods used to examin...

With the rapid development of the oil industry and oil transportation, oil well blowout and marine oil spill accidents ca·used a lot of environmental damage in recent years, so there is a growing demand for oil spill disaster emergency response. It is difficult to monitor oil spill by conventional ways in real time due to the large range of oil spill, so remote sensing technology becomes the mo...

Marine economy plays an important role in the growth of the global economy. With its continuous development in the past years, the driving roll of marine economy in China’s economy has become remarkable. It is of strategic significance for China’s economic sustainable development to strengthen the exploration of marine resources and promote the quality and profit of the marine economy. To explo...

The wide chemical and biological diver extraordinary source of high added value served in the marine environment makes the ocean an nds (HAVC) which can be employed in many applications. d proteins from marine sources have unique features and, found in parts of marine organisms that are commonly of the chief methodo

Antimicrobial peptides are widely expressed in organisms and have been linked to innate and acquired immunities in vertebrates. These compounds are constitutively expressed and rapidly induced at different cellular levels to interact directly with infectious agents and/or modulate immunoreactions involved in defense against pathogenic microorganisms. In invertebrates, antimicrobial peptides rep...

In this paper some research questions which potentially lie within the purview of the new discipline of Computational Transportation Science are presented. Some of these questions are no doubt old and jaded and some may rightly reside in a different research field (or be seen as engineering) but viable solutions to all of the issues presented are of vital importance to the efficacy of future tr...

The exponential degree distribution has been found in many real world complex networks, based on which, the random growing process has been introduced to analyze the formation principle of such kind of networks. Inspired from the nonequilibrium network theory, we construct the network according to two mechanisms: growing and adjacent random attachment. By using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test (KST)...
