Recent advances in boosting interfacial bubble dynamics with external fields

Droplet, EarlyView.
External physical fields, including acoustic, magnetic, thermal, mechanical, and optical stimuli, accelerate the entire bubble‐dynamics sequence of nucleation, growth, and detachment. Abstract The efficiency of industrial electrocatalytic reactions depends not only on generating gaseous products but also on their detachment from the catalyst surface ...

Detection of Floating Objects Based on Hydroacoustic and Hydrodynamic Pressure Measurements in the Coastal Zone

Polish Maritime Research, 2020
The development of coastal infrastructure and related maritime transport necessitatesthe intensification of vessel traffic monitoring. Navigation systems used in this research are traditionally based on the information transmitted by radio waves.

Modelling of the Marine Traffic Situation Complexity [PDF]

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2016
With the growth of traffic density, traditional collision risk models cannot thoroughly describe the complex traffic any more. Therefore, in this paper, a marine traffic situation complexity model, which is based on the relationship between ships, is introduced to metric the complexity of vessel traffic.

Small islands as ecotourism destinations : a Central Mediterranean perspective [PDF]

, 2019
A prerequisite for ecotourism development is the presence of natural environments, normally exhibited in protected areas, which serve as ecotourism venues. Little attention has been given to Mediterranean islands in terms of ecotourism.

Possible role of microtubules in vesicular transport of matrix protein during sea urchin larval biomineralization

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Biomineralization is a vital biological process through which organisms produce mineralized structures such as shells, skeletons, and teeth. Microtubules are essential for biomineralization in various eukaryotic species; however, their specific roles in this process remain unclear.

Traffic Analysis for the Calibration of Risk Assessment Methods [PDF]

, 2009
In order to provide some measure of the uncertainty inherent in the sorts of charting data that are provided to the end-user, we have previously proposed risk models that measure the magnitude of the uncertainty for a ship operating in a particular area.

Toxic Metals in Dried Marine Fish and Implications for Human Health in Bangladesh and Exporting Countries

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
This study assessed toxic metals in five dried marine fish species from Bangladesh. Although most metals were within safe limits, chromium (Cr) consistently exceeded FAO/WHO standards, especially at Kuakata Beach. The findings highlight localized contamination hotspots and species‐specific bioaccumulation, while risk assessment supports the safety and ...

Operating Capacity, Pricing and Supply Elasticity in Container Shipping Markets

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We investigate the channels through which changes in operating capacity influence freight rates in the container shipping market using a novel dataset to create an operating capacity index at the shipping‐route level. Our analysis reveals that when supply elasticity is low, an increase in operating capacity tends to drive freight rates upward,
