The COIN (Enterprise COllaboration and INteroperability) platform allows exposure, integration and application of interoperability and collaborative services in various business domains. As part of the COIN FP7 project, the objective was to exploit the COIN platform and apply its services in the marine shipping sector. In this demo, we demonstrate how COIN services are used to expedite and simp...

the asmari formation at nil anticline area has been studied in order to determine faunal assemblages, the age and the paleoecology. paleontological and biostratigraphical studies led to the identification of 5 faunal assemblages. as a result, the age of the asmari formation in this section, with 291m thickness, is rupelian/chattian-burdigalian. extension of the large benthic foraminifera sugges...

The characters of marine data, such as multi-source, polymorphism, diversity and large amount, determine it’s different from other data. How to store and manage marine data rationally and effectively to provide powerful data support for marine management information system and “Digital Ocean” prototype system construction is an urgent problem to solve. System planning different types of data, s...

a total of 12 species of marine gastropods, among which two taxa are new, is reported for the first time from the miocene deposits of khavich section, south of sirjan, kerman. gastropods assemblage in khavich area indicates deposition in shallow, warm ramp-type carbonate platform. the miocene and even oligocene gastropod assemblages, relatively similar to khavich section, reported from the othe...

Biologists now use a variety of survey platforms to assess the spatial distribution and abundance of marine birds, yet few attempts have been made to integrate data from multiple survey platforms to improve model accuracy or precision. We used density surface models (DSMs) to incorporate data from two survey platforms to predict the distribution and abundance of a diving marine bird, the Common...
