Application of HF Radar in Hazard Management by Mal Heron, Roberto Gomez, Bernd Weber, Anna Dzvonkovskaya, Thomas Helzel, Nicolas Thomas, Lucy Wyatt

“…Maps of surface currents can be produced every 10–20 minutes which, in real time, improve navigation safety in restricted areas commonly found near ports and harbours. The time sequence of surface current maps enables Lagrangian tracking of small parcels of surface water, which enables hazard mitigation in managing suspended sediments in dredging, in emergency situations where flotsam and other drifting items need to be found, and in pollution control. …”

Temporal and spatial co-occurrence of pacific oyster mortality and increased planktonic Vibrio abundance by Elliot Scanes, Nachshon Siboni, Jaimie Potts, Shivanesh Rao, Maurizio Labbate, Justin R. Seymour

“…However, the link between these events, planktonic bacterial dynamics and environmental variables has not yet been resolved. In Port Stephens, Australia, we characterized the microbial community and quantified the abundance of total Vibrio, Vibrio harveyi, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus in a (i) 27-month seawater planktonic microbial time-series; (ii) samples of Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) during a mortality event and (iii) seawater samples following the mortality event. …”

La crise de l’oléoduc Edjeleh-Gabès : Au cœur des enjeux de souveraineté du Maghreb (1954-1962) by Sarah Adjel-Debbich

“…After the loss of the Libyan Fezzan in 1955, France decided to build a pipeline to transport oil from Edjeleh, near the Libyan border, through the Tunisian territory to the port of Skhira in the Gulf of Gabes. Tunisia was a small oil producer after the independence in 1956, however this paper highlights that after 1958 pipelines that cross the country became a vector of French and European interests to secure oil supplies. …”

Design and Analysis of Combined Valve Spool with Linear Flow Coefficient by Changxiong Xie, Heng Su, Jun Yang, Zhongjing He

“…In fact, the flow discharge has obvious nonlinearity under the condition of small opening and small pressure difference of the valve port, which makes the electro-hydraulic servo system more difficult to control. …”

Anton Nilsson et l’écho d’une bombe. Malmö, 1908-1917 by Lars Berggren, Roger Johansson

“…He was a member of the Young Socialist movement in the working-class city of Malmö, he placed a bomb on the ship Amalthea, which housed 73 English strike breakers, in connection with an extensive dock worker conflict in the Swedish ports. Anton Nilsson was sentenced to death in a subsequent trial, but after extensive protests, also abroad, the death sentence was converted to life imprisonment. …”

Design of Motion Controller for Satellite-Borne Data Transmission Antenna by Lijiao Li, Ran Shi, Xiaohui Zhang, Jiyu Ma, Jun Zhang

“…The controller receives commands through the RS-422 asynchronous transmission serial port and performs speed planning autonomously. The controller also performs closed-loop position control with the collected resolver angle and controls two antennas synchronously or independently in a subdivision driving method. …”

Theory and Application of Vessel Speed Dynamic Control considering Safety and Environmental Factors by Tianrui Zhou, Qinyou Hu, Zhihui Hu, Jiamao Zhi

“…In the first stage, certain safety navigation factors, including obstacles, sea environment conditions, and limit of estimated time of arrival to destination port, are considered. In the second stage, the speed dynamic control model considering safety and environmental factors is established by combining multisource data and particle swarm optimisation algorithm. …”

Breaking and entering, or a feeling of heterotopia in tourism situations by Hécate Vergopoulos

“…This paper is based on the following field research conducted in 2010: (i) a tourist accommodation experience in Chora, capital of the Greek island of Skyros, in a house that in all likelihood was never originally intended for tourists; and (ii) a visit of the Estonian city of Paldiski, an important military port under Soviet rule. These two cases, a priori very different, generated intense feelings of uneasiness similar to both guilt and voyeurism in the two groups of tourists involved, which included the author of this paper. …”

RIVER AND SEA TRANSPORTS IN ROMANIA IN THE EUROPEAN UNION STRATEGY FOR THE DANUBE REGION PERSPECTIVE by RADU SĂGEATĂ

“…Romania’s geographical position links it essentially to the Black Sea, which thus becomes the main gateway to Europe (through the ports of Constanţa, Constanţa Sud – Agigea and the Danube – Black Sea Canal, unfortunately still not exploited at its full strategic capacity) and the main Caspian-Pontic interface with the West. …”
