Global policy-making in response to perceived problems in the ocean, whether caused by environmental or economic factors, depends upon an adequate understanding of the ocean itself. Ideally, this level of understanding should include the ability to describe and predict the state and status of the world ocean and coastal seas for a useful period of time into the future. This capability is known ...

Tel: 886+(0)5-2721001 ext.2017 Abstract In 1997, Cranor and Cytron proposed an electronic voting protocol, Sensus protocol, intended to be applied in a real election. However, in 2005 Fabrizio et.al. pointed out there is a vulnerability exists in their protocol that the validator can impersonate anyone of those abstained voters to cast vote. They proposed a scheme, Seas protocol, to solve this ...

Through collaborations with scientific partners in Taiwan and various Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam, the Seven SouthEast Asian Studies (7 SEAS) is jointly initiated by NASA’s Radiation Science, Tropospheric Chemistry, Air Quality and Oceanography programmes as well as the Office of Naval Research (ONR), the Office of Naval Re...

Despite its clear significance for the myriad economic, developmental and infrastructure policies of the Member States, the Strategic Environmental Assessment Directive remains one of the more mysterious and underappreciated elements of EU environmental law. This has proved to be especially true in the context of the offshore environment. Indeed, while the maritime implications of pertinent nat...

The eastern Mediterranean is susceptible to biological invasions because of its placement between the Atlantic, Pontic and Erythrean regions, busy maritime traffic, and lagoons and bays that are crowded with fish and shellfish farms. However, the greatest influx of invaders resulted from the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, which allowed entry of Indo-Pacific and Erythrean biota. Exotic macro...

comin the present study, co2 removal from natural gas stream has been studied using a flat sheet membrane contactor. a three dimensional mathematical model is developed to describe the process. the model considers the transport of a gas mixture containing carbon dioxide and methane through a flat sheet membrane contactor module. the model is based on the non-wetted mode of operation, in which t...

This paper presents literature search outcomes concerning computer-assisted teaching and learning of physics and its efficiency, informs about translation and customization of PhET physics applets and introduces new database of links related to physics and physics education which should serve mainly to physics teachers.

Understanding and managing an ecosystem without knowledge of circulation patterns and hydrography would be like trying to diagnose a patient without taking their pulse and temperature. In order to improve our understanding and prediction of ecosystem dynamics, we must improve our knowledge of the processes and mechanisms that link changes in the physical environment to biological variability. T...

Transient regimes arise when the propeller of a ship is operating in extreme seas, where ventilation and in-and-out of water effects results in loss of propeller thrust. By introducing Lyapunov based controller state reset, the performance in transient regimes may be increased without influencing the performance in calm seas. Improvements have been presented previously for dynamically positione...
