Playing Moby-Dick: Agency, Disempowerment, and Adaptation in Nantucket

open access: yesAmerican, British and Canadian Studies Journal
Picaresque Games’ 2018 video game Nantucket acts as something of a spiritual successor to Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick. Nantucket provides an Oregon Trail-like simulation of nineteenth-century American whaling with the themes and characters of Moby-Dick ...

HOWLish: a CNN for automated wolf howl detection

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Automated detection of wolf howls presents a great opportunity for large‐scale passive acoustic monitoring of wolf populations. Here we present HOWLish, a CNN trained for automated wolf howl detection, based on thousands of hours of soundscapes recorded in the wild.

Comparing convolutional neural network and random forest for benthic habitat mapping in Apollo Marine Park

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
A comparison of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Random Forest (RF) model predictions of benthic habitats within Apollo Marine Park. The CNN (left) and RF (right) classification maps show the spatial distribution of three habitat types: high energy circalittoral rock with seabed‐covering sponges, low complexity circalittoral rock with non‐crowded

The Role of Māori Values in Corporate Culture and CSR: A Comparative Study in Aotearoa‐New Zealand's Fishing Industry

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explores the interaction of organisational culture, corporate social responsibility (CSR) and Indigenous values in Aotearoa‐New Zealand's fishing industry, focusing on Māori‐owned and non–Māori‐owned companies. It reveals how Māori values shape company culture and how CSR aligns with them. Using Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory,

Rule of Law and Transparency in Modern Norwegian Whaling (2006-2015)

open access: yesNordicum-Mediterraneum, 2017
Regarding Norway’s whaling, it was discovered that the Government has achieved quite a high level of transparency. However, in some areas, for instance training of whalers, there is still need for a higher level of transparency.

Numerical Prediction of Deformation‐Induced Martensitic Transformation in Cold‐Sprayed Austenitic Stainless Steel

open access: yessteel research international, EarlyView.
Cold spray deposition of stainless steel (grade: SS304) is evaluated for marine applications, with emphasis on martensitic transformation during impact. Analytical modeling, simulations, and experiments reveal that helium‐assisted spraying of fine powders promotes cooling below the martensitic start temperature, enabling up to ≈40% austenite to ...

Distributed AutoML framework for multi‐objective optimization of concrete crack segmentation models

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Monitoring cracks in concrete surfaces is essential for structural safety. While machine vision techniques have received significant interest in this domain, selecting optimal models and tuning hyperparameters remain challenging. This paper proposes a Distributed Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) framework for efficiently designing and ...

Exploring the Impact of Polystyrene Microplastic Beads on Male Gonads of the Marine Mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plastic, with its remarkable versatility and numerous applications, has greatly benefited humanity. However, its extreme resistance to natural degradation means it persists in the environment for long periods, causing global environmental problems.
