Bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus) are an important species in the Arctic ecosystem, but their conservation is challenged by environmental noise from shipping and climate change. Effective monitoring of Bowhead whale vocalizations is essential for their conservation, yet traditional acoustic methods face limitations in detecting weak and non-stationary signals amidst complex background noise. In this study, we propose a novel...

In ocean engineering, the demand for fiber-optic vector hydrophones (FOVHs) is increasing. The performance of a FOVH depends on phase consistency between its pressure and acceleration channels, which should match the acoustic field’s properties. Phase polarity, which refers to the alignment of the output signal with the acoustic field direction, is critical. Incorrect phase polarity during sensor assembly can disrupt phase con...

The diesel engine on a ship is crucial as it serves as the primary power source, significantly influencing both the vessel’s efficiency and safety. Monitoring metal wear particles found in lubricating oil is essential for assessing the lubrication condition of mechanical equipment onboard and anticipating potential failures. Analyzing these metal wear particles allows us to gauge the wear status of bearing pairs within the mac...
