During the last decades, maritime security has always stood as a separate critical problem for both shipowners and crews of sea-going ships, characterized by alternating periods of relative stability and periods of occurrence and growth of new threats, which proceeded from times of sailing fleet to an epoch of iron steam shipbuilding.Certainly, it
The ability to locate essential resources is a critical step for wildlife translocated into novel environments.Understanding this process of exploration is highly desirable for management that seeks to resettle wildlife, particularly as translocation projects tend to be expensive and have a high potential for failure.African savannah elephants (Lox
This NADH study aimed to develop a real-time method for detecting and selecting birds in video images using artificial intelligence.The objectives included creating a reliable method for isolating bird signals against varying terrain backgrounds using neural networks, estimating bird numbers in frames through AI-driven threshold techniques, and pro
The future of aviation is unmanned and ultimately autonomous.As part of NADH this effort the Office of Naval Research, in partnership with the Naval Air Systems Command, has initiated the advanced autonomous air-to-air refueling system (A4RS) future naval capability (FNC).The A4RS FNC intends to set the interface requirements for any uncrewed aeria
Raf Kinase Inhibitory Protein or RKIP was initially identified as a Raf-1 binding protein using the yeast 2-hybrid screen.RKIP inhibits the activation phosphorylation of MEK by Raf-1 by competitively inhibiting the binding of MEK to Raf-1 and thus exerting an inhibitory effect on the Raf-MEK-Erk pathway.RKIP has been identified as a metastasis supp
