Well. I'm well and truly settled into the job now. I've been here six months and things are developing nicely. I say nicely, but what I mean is rather quickly. I am now doing drug rounds unsupervised. I give IV drugs and am competent in phlebotomy.

This paper describes a part of the Yacht Captain Training system, particularly the part that includes ships and scenes modelling. It is divided into two parts. The first deals with problems of practical usage of VRML standard for basic 3D modelling, while the second inquires the possibilities to make virtual sailing more realistic.

Over the past decade there has been intense scientific work on autonomous sailing robots. As hardware gets smaller, cheaper and also better performing the possibilities increase for autonomous vessels. Recently there is a lot of research going on with the aim of reducing CO2 emissions. Smart sailing robot fit perfectly into these ambitions. A robotic sailboat is able to autonomously navigate to...

Ocean Exploration and Navigational Research is leading efforts by supporting expeditions with computer vision techniques have shown potential for Sailboat robots developed in order to make measurements at the surface. The marine environment presents an almost ideal test-bed for the evaluation and development of robotic technologies. Robot sailing is a challenging task in both building and contr...

This study formulates a two-objective model to determine the optimal liner routing, ship size, and sailing frequency for container carriers by minimizing shipping costs and inventory costs. First, shipping and inventory cost functions are formulated using an analytical method. Then, based on a trade-off between shipping costs and inventory costs, Pareto optimal solutions of the twoobjective mod...
