Marine Application of Fiber Reinforced Composites: A Review

Felice Rubino, Antonio Nisticò, Fausto Tucci et al. · 6 Jan 2020

Components and structures working in the marine environment are exposed to high stresses attributable to the action of wind, waves, and tides. Moreover, they have to face hostile and severe environmental conditions during their lifetime, being placed in the splash zone if not even submerged in saltwater. The application of polymer composites in marine systems…

Seaweed Potential in the Animal Feed: A Review

Tiago Morais, Ana Carolina Inácio, Tiago Coutinho et al. · 25 Jul 2020

Seaweed (known as marine algae) has a tradition of being part of the animal feed in the coastal areas, from ancient times. Seaweeds, are mixed with animal feed, because when consumed alone can have negative impact on animals. Thus, seaweeds are very rich in useful metabolites (pigments, carotenoids, phlorotannins, polyunsaturated fatty acids, agar, alginate and…

An Optimal BP Neural Network Track Prediction Method Based on a GA–ACO Hybrid Algorithm

Yuanzhou Zheng, Xuemeng Lv, Long Qian et al. · 30 Sep 2022

Ship position prediction is the key to inland river and sea navigation warning. Maritime traffic control centers, according to ship position monitoring, ship position prediction and early warning, can effectively avoid collisions. However, the prediction accuracy and computational efficiency of the ship’s future position are the key problems to be solved. In this paper, a…

Decarbonization in Shipping Industry: A Review of Research, Technology Development, and Innovation Proposals

George Mallouppas, Elias A. Yfantis · 13 Apr 2021

This review paper examines the possible pathways and possible technologies available that will help the shipping sector achieve the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) deep decarbonization targets by 2050. There has been increased interest from important stakeholders regarding deep decarbonization, evidenced by market surveys conducted by Shell and Deloitte. However, deep decarbonization will require financial incentives…

Carbon Balance in Salt Marsh and Mangrove Ecosystems: A Global Synthesis

Daniel M. Alongi · 30 Sep 2020

Mangroves and salt marshes are among the most productive ecosystems in the global coastal ocean. Mangroves store more carbon (739 Mg CORG ha−1) than salt marshes (334 Mg CORG ha−1), but the latter sequester proportionally more (24%) net primary production (NPP) than mangroves (12%). Mangroves exhibit greater rates of gross primary production (GPP), aboveground net…
