Effects of Recreational Boats on Harbour Porpoise Swimming Speed and Surfacing Interval Investigated by Two Synchronised UAVs. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
This study examines the impact of speed and proximity of recreational boats on the swimming speed and surfacing interval of one of the most common coastal cetacean species, the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena), using data collected by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in a key habitat for the vulnerable Belt Sea population.

ELECTRONIC THERMOSENSORS FOR UNMANNED SHIPS

open access: yesShipping & Navigation, 2022
The article deals with temperature sensors, the operation of which is based on the use of a change of voltage on a p-n junction of the semiconductor transistor at the set direct current. It sets out the theoretical justification for requirements for the structure of diodes and transistors used as temperature sensors.
