description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.An initiative is currently being taken by several Norwegian organizations to obtain funds to intensify ongoing investigations on marine sea-floor mapping off Norway. Led by the Geological Survey of Norway and Institute of Marine Research, planning during the last two years has led to the inception of a large-scale mapping project entitled 'MAREANO - Marine areal Database for the Norwegian Sea'. The investigation area covers 270 000 km2 of the shelf and deep sea off the central part of western Norway. It is a commercially important region for fisheries and the petroleum industry and includes the world’s largest system of cold-water coral reefs. The aim of MAREANO is to collect new as well as historical data elucidating the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the seabed along the mid-Norwegian shelf and parts of the deeper Norwegian Sea. The project shall produce maps and/or provide information on seabed bathymetry, marine habitats, biological diversity and resources, mineralogical resources and geological features as well as habitat contamination. Stored in a GIS database, this information shall be available to environmental managers and interest groups as well as the fisheries, aquaculture and petroleum industries via a dedicated system on the intern&.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Research on ecosystem-based fisheries management, marine biodiversity conservation, and other fields requires appropriate maps of the major natural regions of the oceans, and their ecosystems. It is proposed here that a classification system proposed by T. Platt and S. Sathyendranath and implemented by A.R. Longhurst, defined largely by physical parameters, and which subdivides the oceans into four ‘biomes’ and 57 ‘biogeochemical provinces’ (BGCPs), could be merged with the system of 50 Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs) identified by K. Sherman and colleagues, which would represent subunits of the BGCPs. This arrangement enhances each of the systems, and renders them mutually compatible. For the LMEs, subprovinces are pragmatically defined to serve as a framework for the management of coastal fisheries, and other purposes, while the BGCPs have rigorous physical definitions, including borders defined by natural features. Moreover, incorporating the 50 defined LMEs into the framework of BGCPs will allow straightforward scaling-up of LME-specific flow estimates (including fisheries catches) up to basin and ocean scales. The combined mapping will allow the computation of GIS-derived properties such as temperature, primary production, etc., and their analysis in relation to fishery catch data for any study area. A further useful aspect of the proposed scheme is that it will enable us to quantify the EEZ of various countries in term of the distribution of marine features (e.g. primary production, coral reef areas) so far not straightforwardly associated with different coastal states. Applications to shelf, coral reef and oceanic fisheries, and to the mapping of marine biodiversity are briefly discussed.

More precisely, we address the problem of using an underwater robot equipped of vision and sonar to produce maps of the spatial distribution of maerl, yielding indication of the concentration of living and dead material and of their mixing degrees. Instead of relying on a complete coverage of the area of interest, our approach is based on the use of probabilistic models (random closed sets) learned from a priori information, coupled with a random sampling strategy.

description: Since 2016 federated learning (FL) has been an evolving topic of discussion in the artificial intelligence (AI) research community. Applications of FL led to the development and study of federated reinforcement learning (FRL). Few works exist on the topic of FRL applied to autonomous vehicle (AV) platoons. In addition, most FRL works choose a single aggregation method (usually weight or gradient aggregation). We explore FRL's effectiveness as a means to improve AV platooning by designing and implementing an FRL framework atop a custom AV platoon environment. The application of FRL in AV platooning is studied under two scenarios: (1) Inter-platoon FRL (Inter-FRL) where FRL is applied to AVs across different platoons; (2) Intra-platoon FRL (Intra-FRL) where FRL is applied to AVs within a single platoon. Both Inter-FRL and Intra-FRL are applied to a custom AV platooning environment using both gradient and weight aggregation to observe the performance effects FRL can have on AV platoons relative to an AV platooning environment trained without FRL. It is concluded that Intra-FRL using weight aggregation (Intra-FRLWA) provides the best performance for controlling an AV platoon. In addition, we found that weight aggregation in FRL for AV platooning provides increases in performance relative to gradient aggregation. Finally, a performance analysis is conducted for Intra-FRLWA versus a platooning environment without FRL for platoons of length 3, 4 and 5 vehicles. It is concluded that Intra-FRLWA largely out-performs the platooning environment that is trained without FRL.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.This paper presents results of a new approach for sea floor habitat mapping based on an integrated analysis of multibeam bathymetric data, associated geoscientific information, and benthos data from Browns Bank on the southwestern Shelf, Atlantic Canada. Six habitats and corresponding associations of benthos were derived and mapped, based on sea floor sediment maps and statistical analysis of megabenthos determined from photographs. The habitats are distinguished primarily on the basis of sediment type and water depth. Additional factors are sea floor geomorphology, habitat complexity, and relative current strength. A Browns bank benthic habitat map summarizes the present understanding of the bank's benthic zone.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Research on the spread of invasive marine organisms by hull fouling has neglected the potential for transfer of species by recreational boats. In this study, we examine relationships between the fouling assemblages of recreational boats and coastal boat marinas, which may act as potential sources of invasive organisms. Assemblages on vessels, pillings and flating jetties were surveyed in three marinas separated by 300-750 km of coastline in Queensland, Australia. Fouling assemblages varied widely among marinas. Vessels resident in each marine developed fouling assemblages that were characteristic of their homeport. Similarity between the vessel and marina fauna depended upon the age of the antifpuling paint on the vessel's hull and how long the boat had been resident in the marina. Biota on the hulls of the vessels varously resembled assemblages on floating jetties or piling, but the relative importance of each structure as a potential source of propagules varied from marina to marina. Our results show that recreational boat marinas may be an important source for the transfer and spread of hull-fouling organisms. The risk of species transfer depends, in part, on the vessels' antifouling history and on the amount of time they spend in home and destination ports.

description: Ride-hailing and ride-sharing applications have recently gained popularity as a convenient alternative to traditional modes of travel. Current research into autonomous vehicles is accelerating rapidly and will soon become a critical component of a ride-hailing platforms architecture. Implementing an autonomous vehicle ride-hailing platform proves a difficult challenge due to the centralized nature of traditional ride-hailing architectures. In a traditional ride-hailing environment the drivers operate their own personal vehicles so it follows that a fleet of autonomous vehicles would be required for a centralized ride-hailing platform to succeed. Decentralization of the ride-hailing platform would remove a roadblock along the way to an autonomous vehicle ride-hailing platform by allowing owners of autonomous vehicles to add their vehicles to a community-driven fleet when not in use. Blockchain technology is an attractive choice for this decentralized architecture due to its immutability and fault tolerance. This thesis proposes a framework for developing a decentralized ride-hailing architecture that is verifiably secure. This framework is implemented on the Hyperledger Fabric blockchain platform. The evaluation of the implementation is done by applying known security models, utilizing a static analysis tool, and performing a performance analysis under heavy network load.

description: People's personal hygiene habits speak volumes about the condition of taking care of their bodies and health in daily lifestyle. Maintaining good hygiene practices not only reduces the chances of contracting a disease but could also reduce the risk of spreading illness within the community. Given the current pandemic, daily habits such as washing hands or taking regular showers have taken primary importance among people, especially for the elderly population living alone at home or in an assisted living facility. This paper presents a novel and non-invasive framework for monitoring human hygiene using vibration sensors where we adopt Machine Learning techniques. The approach is based on a combination of a geophone sensor, a digitizer, and a cost-efficient computer board in a practical enclosure. Monitoring daily hygiene routines may help healthcare professionals be proactive rather than reactive in identifying and controlling the spread of potential outbreaks within the community. The experimental result indicates that applying a Support Vector Machine (SVM) for binary classification exhibits a promising accuracy of ~95% in the classification of different hygiene habits. Furthermore, both tree-based classifier (Random Forrest and Decision Tree) outperforms other models by achieving the highest accuracy (100%), which means that classifying hygiene events using vibration and non-invasive sensors is possible for monitoring hygiene activity.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Cercopagis pengoi (Ostroumov, 1891) is a predatory Cladocera from the Ponto­Caspian basin. Its expansion into the Baltic Sea had started from ! 980s. The species penetrated with ballast waters through the Volgo-Balt channel system. In 1992 it was recorded in the Gulf of Riga, and later on in 1995 - in the Gulf of Finland as well. In 1999 Cpengoi was found in the Gdansk Lagoon and in the early August it was recorded in the Vistula Lagoon. Cercopagis pengoi was recorded in the Vistula Lagoon for the first time on 9 August 1999. The maximum abundance (310 ind./m3 ) of the species was found in the channel between the Lagoon and the Baltic Sea. Gamogenesic females with latent eggs were observed in the population. In the late August (26, 29 August) the peak density of the species (530 ind./m3) was found along the Baltic Spit. Distribution pattern of the species corresponds to the main marine currents direction, which allows to assume that this species has invaded into the Vistula Lagoon from the Baltic Sea with wind-driven currents. Availability of gamogenetic females with latent eggs shows that C.pengoi may naturalize. The bioccnotic consequences of such large predator invasion into the lagoon may be very serious, especially taking into account the high vulnerability of this community.
