Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) are used in many applications like mining, aquaculture and military applications. AUV is highly nonlinear system; modeling and controller performance is challenging issue for the researchers. In this paper a linear quadratic regulator (LQR) and proportional integral derivative (PID) controllers are designed for the depth control system of AUV. These controll...

The Fusarium mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) can cause cell death in wheat (Triticum aestivum), but can also reduce the level of cell death caused by heat shock in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) cell cultures. We show that 10 μg mL(-1) DON does not cause cell death in Arabidopsis cell cultures, and its ability to retard heat-induced cell death is light dependent. Under dark conditions, it ac...

Field trials were carried out 2019–2021. object was hybrid ‘Zernogradsky 354MV’, (included State List Breeding Achievements 6th (North Caucasian) region 2010). purpose an economic a...

Observations: This project is part of the Ripples DRI, in which the spatial and temporal variations of the seabed are being examined in a field site on the West Florida shelf. We are using the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) REMUS (Figure 1) to make better measurements of the spatial distribution of ripples, both during active conditions as the ripples are modified during energetic sea-stat...

Twenty years ago, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) were an infant technology, and there was an absence of evolution to guide designers in deciding the fundamental shape and size of their craft. Since this period, researchers have tried a wide variety of AUV shapes and sizes, including torpedo shapes, like the National Oceanography Centre's (NOC) Autosub and Hydroid's (Pocasset, Massachuset...

In oceanography, there has been a growing emphasis on coastal regions, partially because of their inherent complexity, as well as the increasing acknowledgment of anthropogenic impacts. To improve understanding and characterization of coastal dynamics, there has been significant effort devoted to the development of autonomous systems that sample the ocean on relevant scales. Autonomous underwat...

Olfactory-based mechanisms have been hypothesized for biological behaviors including foraging, mateseeking, homing, and host-seeking. Typically, olfactorybased mechanisms proposed for biological entities combine a large-scale orientation behavior based in part on olfaction with a multisensor local search in the vicinity of the source. Long-range olfactory based search is documented in moths at ...
