Priorization of River Restoration by Coupling Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) Models in the Taizi River Basin, Northern China.

International journal of environmental research and public health
Identifying priority zones for river restoration is important for biodiversity conservation and catchment management. However, limited data due to the difficulty of field collection has led to research to better understand the ecological status withi...

Shipboard design and fabrication of custom 3D-printed soft robotic manipulators for the investigation of delicate deep-sea organisms.

PloS one
Soft robotics is an emerging technology that has shown considerable promise in deep-sea marine biological applications. It is particularly useful in facilitating delicate interactions with fragile marine organisms. This study describes the shipboard ...

Locomotion of arthropods in aquatic environment and their applications in robotics.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Many bio-inspired robots have been developed so far after careful investigation of animals' locomotion. To successfully apply the locomotion of natural counterparts to robots for efficient and improved mobility, it is essential to understand their pr...

Integrating river hydromorphology and water quality into ecological status modelling by artificial neural networks.

Water research
The aim of the study was to develop predictive models of the ecological status of rivers by using artificial neural networks. The relationships between five macrophyte indices and the combined impact of water pollution as well as hydromorphological d...

Characterization of Polyphenolic Content in the Aquatic Plants Ruppia cirrhosa and Ruppia maritima -A Source of Nutritional Natural Products.

Molecules (Basel, Switzerland)
Herein, the polyphenolic content in extracts of (Petagna) Grande and L.was fully characterized for the first time. High amounts of the main compound chicoric acid () (≤30.2 ± 4.3 mg/g) were found in both species. In addition, eight flavonoids, nam...

The use of marine-derived fungi for preparation of enantiomerically pure alcohols.

Applied microbiology and biotechnology
A highly enantioselective and minimally polluting approach to optically pure chiral alcohols is developed using cheap, readily available and sustainable marine-derived fungi as catalysts. An evaluation of the synthetic potential of 13 Chinese marine ...

Modeling and optimization of anaerobic codigestion of potato waste and aquatic weed by response surface methodology and artificial neural network coupled genetic algorithm.

Bioresource technology
A novel approach to overcome the acidification problem has been attempted in the present study by codigesting industrial potato waste (PW) with Pistia stratiotes (PS, an aquatic weed). The effectiveness of codigestion of the weed and PW was tested in...

Quantifying Area Back Scatter of Marine Organisms in the Arctic Ocean by Machine Learning-Based Post-Processing of Volume Back Scatter.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
As the sea ice reduces in both extent and thickness and the Arctic Ocean opens, there is substantial interest in mapping the marine ecosystem in this remote and until now largely inaccessible ocean. We used the during surveys in the Central Arctic O...

Marine animal tracking with classical and emerging localization algorithms.

Science robotics
Localization algorithms applied to acoustic tags for tracking marine animals can also be used to localize marine robots.
