The international ocean transport industry in crisis : assessing the reasons and outlook [PDF]
Until 1980, the world merchant fleet expanded rapidly in response to thriving seatrade markets. Since then, it has not grown much. The industry did not adjust effectively to periodic global recession, and the fleet's earnings deteriorated as the gap ...

On Probability Distributions of the Operational Law of Container Liner Ships
SummaryThe probability distribution of the operational law of container liner ships in port is the significant theoretical basis for the study of container liners and ports, but there has been a lack of corresponding statistical analysis and theoretical research on that distribution since maritime container transportation came into being.

Automatic Determination of Quasicrystalline Patterns from Microscopy Images
This work introduces a user‐friendly machine learning tool to automatically extract and visualize quasicrystalline tiling patterns from atomically resolved microscopy images. It uses feature clustering, nearest‐neighbor analysis, and support vector machines. The method is broadly applicable to various quasicrystalline systems and is released as part of

Remora‐Inspired Sensing Suction Cup with Adhesion Monitoring and Force Detection
A suction cup with integrated liquid metal microchannel sensors enables stable multidirectional force sensing and adhesion monitoring in both air and water. The flexible resistive sensors, placed on the outer lip, transduce deformations into resistance changes under normal and shear loads.

Securing Generative Artificial Intelligence with Parallel Magnetic Tunnel Junction True Randomness
True random numbers can protect generative artificial intelligence (GAI) models from attacks. A highly parallel, spin‐transfer torque magnetic tunnel junction‐based system is demonstrated that generates high‐quality, energy‐efficient random numbers.
