Development and Validation of a Wave-Propelled Semi-submersible Unmanned Vehicle by Tian Yingyuan, Li Weijia, Wang Zhigang

“…Ocean observation and exploration technologies are crucial for marine environmental protection and resource development, but traditional tools have limitations in terms of operating time, coverage, and cost. Wave gliders, which offer advantages such as long duration, wide range, and low cost, are a promising solution, but their low speed and weak manoeuvrability hinder their application, due to poor collision avoidance and survivability. …”

Practices and pain points in personal records by Matt Balogh, William Billingsley, David Paul, Mary Anne Kennan, Melanie Robertson-Dean

“…For example, respondents who saved records on a computer or in the cloud reported higher levels of satisfaction with how they managed their personal records and experienced fewer adverse incidents such as losing documents or failing to pay bills on time. Conclusion. The paper concludes by identifying some specific personal records management practices that are likely to improve satisfaction with that task, such as saving and sorting records that need to be retained outside of email in a structured filing system.…”
