Functional models from limited data: A parametric and multimodal approach to anatomy and 3D kinematics of feeding in basking sharks (Cetorhinus maximus)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Basking sharks, Cetorhinus maximus (Gunnerus, Brugden [Squalus maximus], Det Kongelige Norske Videnskabers Selskabs Skrifter, 1765, vol. 3, pp. 33–49), feed by gaping their mouths and gill slits, greatly reorienting their cranial skeletons to filter food from water.

Automated Feature Extraction and Classification of Submerged Cultural Heritage Assets in the Puck Lagoon via Multisensor Remote Sensing

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a strong framework for the detection and classification of Submerged Cultural Heritage Assets (SCHA) in shallow marine environments using the integration of multibeam echosounder and airborne LiDAR bathymetry with object‐based image analysis and fuzzy logic–based classification.

Application of NASTRAN/COSMIC in the analysis of ship structures to underwater explosion shock [PDF]

The application of NASTRAN/COSMIC in predicting the transient motion of ship structures to underwater, non-contact explosions is discussed. Examples illustrate the finite element models, mathematical formulations of loading functions and, where available,

Development Of A Semi-Swath Craft For Malaysian Waters [PDF]

, 2006
Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull (SWATH) and Catamaran vessels are known to have more stable platform as compared to mono-hulls. A further advantage of SWATH as compared to Catamaran is its smaller waterplane area that provides better seakeeping ...

The lack of legal protections in the United States to prevent commercializing the dead for education and research: Consequences and risks to anatomists

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract A lack of minimum legal standards for body donation programs undermines recent strides by anatomy professionals to promote ethical best practices in the United States (US). In particular, the commercialization of the dead by nontransplant tissue banks poses a risk to the public trust in academic body donation programs.

The Use of Pivot Point in Ship Handling for Safer and More Accurate Ship Manoeuvring [PDF]

, 2011
The size of ships has increased notably over recent decades. The size of harbours and ports has however not grown in proportion. As a result ship manoeuvring in harbours and ports has become more problematic, and more of an art than a science.

Setting up mother–infant pair lactation studies with biobanking for research according to regulatory requirements

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Within the ConcePTION project we set out to design two mother–infant pair studies collecting breast milk and plasma from the mother and plasma from the infant (for metformin and prednisolone) in order to demonstrate the premises and conditions for investigating potential drug transfer in association with breastfeeding.

Young people's occupational aspirations beyond the aspiration discourse: A sociocultural perspective

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Young people's aspirations have been the focus of many educational, sociological and psychological studies. This paper argues, firstly, that the concept of aspirations holds greater generative potential than suggested by the policy‐oriented ‘aspiration discourse’.

Ship Motion Parameter Estimation and Refocusing Method Based on Minimization of Position Offset in Multiview Missile-Borne SAR Images

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Motion compensation helps mitigate the defocusing effects observed in ship synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images caused by ship’s noncooperative motion, and its effectiveness depends on the accuracy of motion parameter estimation.

Ship motion estimation

, 1967
This thesis proposes a method of identifying the dynamics of ship angular motion at sea as the basis for ship motion estimation. Various sources of information are discussed. A digital model to simulate ship's motion is developed. Identification algorithms are presented with the results of thei stochastic digital simulation.
