Maritime zones delimitation – Problems and solutions

Eritrea-Yemen Arbitration (Award, Phase II: Maritime Delimitation)

The Application of GIS in Maritime Boundary Delimitation

The Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste (East Timor) attained independence on 20 May 2002, marking its separation from Indonesia. As a newly independent country, East Timor is faced with a number of significant international opportunities, together with some obligations that it must fulfil, including the delimitation of its international boundaries. Similarly, for Indonesia, with 10 maritime nei...

Flexible solutions to maritime inventory routing problems with delivery time windows

This paper studies a Maritime Inventory Routing Problem with Time Windows (MIRPTW) for deliveries with uncertain disruptions. We consider disruptions that increase travel times between ports and ultimately affect the deliveries in one or more time windows. The objective is to find flexible solutions that can withstand unplanned disruptions. We propose a Lagrangian heuristic algorithm of obtaini...

Integrating fuzzy logic and statistics to improve the reliable delimitation of biogeographic regions and transition zones.

This study uses the amphibian species of the Mediterranean basin to develop a consistent procedure based on fuzzy sets with which biogeographic regions and biotic transition zones can be objectively detected and reliably mapped. Biogeographical regionalizations are abstractions of the geographical organization of life on Earth that provide frameworks for cataloguing species and ecosystems, for ...

Phylogeny-based delimitation of species boundaries and contact zones in the trilling chorus frogs (Pseudacris).

Although the trilling chorus frogs (subclade within Pseudacris: Hylidae) have been important in studies of speciation, continental patterns of genetic diversity within and among species have not been elucidated. As a result, this North American clade has been the subject of substantial taxonomic debate. In this study, we examined the phylogenetic relationships among the trilling Pseudacris and ...
