New forms of navigation aids for underwater vehicles are enabled through the use of acoustic communications. Both the content and form of the message may be used to estimate range, bearing, range rate, geo-location, and time. Accurate range estimates are available via a conventional 2-way method, but the transmitted signal also supports high precision bearing estimation and highly accurate rang...

Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) have gained more interest in recent years for military as well as civilian applications. One potential application of AUVs is for the purpose of undersea surveillance. As research into undersea surveillance using AUVs progresses, issues arise as to how an AUV acquires, acts on, and shares information about the undersea battle space. These issues naturally t...

The bacterial superantigen staphylococcal enterotoxin (SE) A (SEA) directs cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) expressing particular sequences of the T-cell receptor (TCR) beta chain to lyse tumor cells expressing major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules, which serve as receptors for SEs. We now report that chemical conjugates of SEA and the colon carcinoma-reactive monoclonal antib...

This study contributes to shipping research by profiling container lines with respect their sustainability related brand positioning strategies through social media communications. Longitudinal content analysis is combined multiple correspondence (MCA) map branding of selected in relation the triple bottom line (TBL) dimensions and functional versus emotional benefits. Results indicate that pos...

The ANTARES underwater neutrino telescope, at a depth of 2475 m in the Mediterranean Sea, near Toulon, is taking data in its final configuration of 12 detection lines. Each line is equipped with 75 photomultipliers (PMT) housed in glass pressure spheres arranged in 25 triplets at depths between 100 and 450 m above the sea floor. The PMTs look down at 45 to have better sensitivity to the Cherenk...

The Sapienza University Networking framework for underwater Simulation Emulation and real-life Testing (SUNSET) is a toolkit for the implementation and testing of protocols for underwater sensor networks. SUNSET enables a radical new way of performing experimental research on underwater communications. It allows protocol designers and implementors to easily realize their solutions and to evalua...
