Space and Maritime Strategy

DECLIMS Detection and Classification of Maritime Traffic from Space

Finding ships from space Space-based imaging enables the surveillance of the planet’s oceans for maritime traffic, increasingly in nearreal-time. The challenges are in analysing the satellite images: to find ships and their positions; to determine what kind of ships they are; to estimation their speed and course; and to deduce their activity. We have two types of sensors at our disposal: Synthe...

construction and validation of translation metacognitive strategy questionnaire and its application to translation quality

like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...

Study on Blue Growth, Maritime Policy and the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region

The Strategy Hypercube: Exploring Strategy Space Using Agent-Based Models

We demonstrate a method of representing a firm’s strategy as its position and movement within an n-dimensional strategy space. We explore this space through the use of an agent-based model and provide preliminary results as to the appropriateness of different strategies under differing levels of environmental turbulence.

Shipwrecks and maritime archaeology

Shipwrecks are the most numerous and distinctive type of site studied by maritime archaeologists. Their uniform characteristics, regardless of date, place and type, mean that virtually all wrecks can be investigated using similar methodologies and research strategies. The contributions to this issue of World Archaeology demonstrate both these common features and the wide variety of archaeologic...
