Gaussian Function Fusing Fully Convolutional Network and Region Proposal-Based Network for Ship Target Detection in SAR Images by Peipei Zhang, Guokun Xie, Jinsong Zhang

“…Recently, ship target detection in Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images has become one of the current research hotspots and plays an important role in the real-time detection of sea regions. The traditional SAR ship detection methods usually consist of two modules, one module named land-sea segmentation for removing the complicated land regions, and one module named ship target detection for realizing fine ship detection. …”

Stability of small incision lenticule extraction over laser in situ keratomileusis at an altitude of 3874 m by Yanming Huang, Yuancheng Zhao, Xiaofan Chen, Huan zou, Rongdi Yuan

“…Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stability of small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) when ascending from near sea level to an altitude of 3874 m. The visual acuity (VA), intraocular pressure (IOP), spherical equivalent refraction (SER) and biometric parameters of 20 normal subjects (40 eyes, controls) and 36 subjects who underwent corneal refractive surgery (35 eyes with SMILE and 36 eyes with LASIK) were examined in Chongqing (C, 500 m above sea level) and 7–10 days after a collective travel to Shigatse (S, 3874 m above sea level). …”

Horaires de travail, sommeil et vigilance chez les marins : quelles incidences sur les risques d’accidents en mer ? by Ghislaine Tirilly

“…Consequently, work often occurs at hours that are not conducive to maintaining a suitable level of alertness. The decrease in alertness has been related to fatigue and a much greater risk of accidents.The present study examines the adjustment of sleep/wake rhythms and alertness in two shift schedule conditions at sea. …”

Bathymetry of the Antarctic continental shelf and ice shelf cavities from circumpolar gravity anomalies and other data by Raphaelle Charrassin, Romain Millan, Eric Rignot, Mirko Scheinert

“…Abstract Bathymetry critically influences the intrusion of warm Circumpolar Deep Water onto the continental shelf and under ice shelf cavities in Antarctica, thereby forcing ice melting, grounding line retreat, and sea level rise. We present a novel and comprehensive bathymetry of Antarctica that includes all ice shelf cavities and previously unmeasured continental shelf areas. …”

Effects of ENSO on Autumn Rainfall in Central Vietnam by Thang Van Vu, Hieu Trong Nguyen, Thang Van Nguyen, Hiep Van Nguyen, Huong Thi Thanh Pham, Lan Thi Nguyen

“…This reduction seems to be caused by a weakening of the North East monsoon circulation, which appears to be linked to an anomalous anticyclonic vortex and a positive sea level pressure anomaly over the East Sea. In addition, the disappearance of a secondary moisture source over the southern region of the East Sea also favors the reduction in rainfall over this region. …”

Investigating the Wind Erosion Affecting the Activation of Dust Genesis over South-Eastern of Iran by Saviz Sehat Kashani, Mehdi Rahnama, Sara Karami, Abbas Ranjbar, Noushin Khoddam

“…One of the main factors activating dust sources is relatively strong winds on these areas, which together with the upward movement of air due to atmospheric systems, provide vertical transport of dust to higher levels of the atmosphere. Mean sea level pressure and temperature are other meteorological factors that affect the activity of dust sources. …”
