Berthing Assistant System Using Reference Points [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
With more goods to be transported oversea, traffic and vessels dimensions increase while berthing areas merely remain constant and thus challenge ship masters and pilots to maneuver in small basins with dense traffic even in bad weather situations.

Capturing Financial Burden Concerns in an ALS Multidisciplinary Clinic

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, Volume 74, Issue 4, Page 1270-1274, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is associated with substantial financial burden. How financial concerns are documented or addressed in ALS multidisciplinary clinics (MDC) is unclear. We aimed to characterize financial concerns among people living with ALS (pALS) and how they are identified and documented by ...

DeepZoo: A cost‐effective and modular sampler for ecological studies in the deep ocean

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 10, Page 2895-2908, October 2026.
Abstract Understanding the structure and dynamics of deep‐ocean communities requires effective sampling of pelagic organisms in near‐bottom waters. These dispersive organisms contribute to biodiversity, connectivity and ecosystem recovery. Yet, current sampling methods remain constrained by size, cost, and depth, leaving key questions unanswered in ...
