Pollution by micro-plastic in ecosystems is one of the major problems we are facing now, especially in marine environment. Many studies are going on the detection of different micro substances that pollute our environment. Micro-plastics are among the more frequent pollutants of the sort in aquatic ecosystems. There have been some studies earlier on methodologies to detect and identify micro-plastic ...

The paper shows the possible implementation of Infrared (IR) ice detection technique. The experimental setup is implemented keeping in view of the marine icing phenomena over the ships and offshore structures. The detection mechanism is unique from the passive IR detection by introducing the active heating concept. The intervention of the active heating information inside the IR ice detection system ...

Manufacturers consider carbon fiber as a wonder material for the world's economy. Its distinctive combination of high strength and low weight has helped drive the wind power revolution and make aircraft and ships more fuel-efficient. In addition, the carbon fiber structures can function longer and are more rigid than the traditional metallic models, making them more resilient in cold and more efficient ...

Hazardous marine icing is a major concern for ships operating in Arctic waters during freezing conditions. Sea spray generated by the interaction between a ship and ocean waves is the most important water source in these dangerous icing events. Although there exist several data sets with observations of ice accretion in conjunction with meteorological and oceanographic parameters, these data sets ...
