Spatially explicit risk assessment is an essential component of Marine Spatial Planning (MSP), which provides a comprehensive framework for managing multiple uses of the marine environment, minimizing environmental impacts and conflicts among users. In this study, we assessed the risk of the exposure to high intensity vessel traffic areas for the three most abundant cetacean species (Stenella c...

BACKGROUND Identifying the potential for drug-induced kidney injury is essential for the successful research and development of new drugs. Newer and more sensitive preclinical drug-induced kidney injury biomarkers are now qualified for use in rat toxicology studies, but biomarkers for clinical studies are still undergoing qualification. The current studies investigated biomarkers in healthy vol...

With the rapid development of society and the economy, an increasing number of human activities have gradually destroyed the marine environment. Marine environment monitoring is a vital problem and has increasingly attracted a great deal of research and development attention. During the past decade, various marine environment monitoring systems have been developed. The traditional marine enviro...

Anthropogenic noise across the world's oceans threatens the ability of vocalizing marine species to communicate. Some species vocalize at key life stages or whilst foraging, and disruption to the acoustic habitat at these times could lead to adverse consequences at the population level. To investigate the risk of these impacts, we investigated the effect of vessel noise on the communication spa...

The degree of speed control of ship machinery effects on the economics and optimization of the machinery configuration and operation. All marine vessel ranging need some sort of speed control system to control and govern the speed of the marine diesel engines. The main focus of this study is to apply and comparative between two specific soft-computing techniques. Fuzzy logic controller and gene...

This paper focuses on a Fuzzy-logic based parallel decision formulation that aims to improve the safety of marine vessels by avoiding collision situations in ocean navigation. The collision avoidance of the Target vessel with respect to the vessel domain of the Own vessel has been analyzed and input and output Fuzzy Membership Functions are derived in this study. The If-Then rule based decision...

This paper considers aspects related to the problem of automatic tuning (autotuning) of dynamic positioning (DP) controllers for marine surface vessels. Autotuning involves automatic adjustment of controller parameters for shifting vessel operational conditions (VOCs), which encompass changing vessel dynamics and different operational tasks. A controller with fixed gains cannot behave equally w...

The stabilizer formalism allows the efficient description of a sizeable class of pure as well as mixed quantum states of n-qubit systems. That same formalism has important applications in the field of quantum error correcting codes, where mixed stabilizer states correspond to projectors on subspaces associated with stabilizer codes. In this paper, we derive efficient reduction procedures to obt...

Design of power system stabilizer for enhancement power system stability is proposed. The effect of the proposed PSS on the synchronizing and damping torque coefficients is proved. To study the effectiveness of the proposed linear quadratic regulator (LQR) power system stabilizer, a sample power system in a linearized model is simulated and subjected to different operating conditions. The Linea...
