Human activity and climate change affect biodiversity and cause species range shifts, contractions, and expansions. Globally, human activities and climate change have emerged as persistent threats to biodiversity, leading to approximately 68% of the ~522 primate species being threatened with extinction. Here, we used habitat suitability models and integrated data on human population density, gross domestic product (GDP), road...

Recently, point cloud technology has been applied in the ship engineering field. However, the dense point cloud acquired by terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) technology in ship engineering applications brings an obstacle to some powerful and advanced point-based deep learning point cloud processing methods. This paper presents a deep learning pre-procession module to ensure the feasibility of processing dense point clouds on co...

The qualit12y of shafting alignment is related to the reliability and safety of a ship’s operation, and bearing displacement adjustment (BDA) plays a key role in shafting alignment. To solve the problems encountered in ship shafting alignment in the actual construction, this study focused on the investigation of the shafting load measurement system based on the strain gauge method (SGM), used the optimization method based on q...

Subassembly partition is an important process in hull block building as it greatly affects the efficiency and quality of the assembly work. Recently, an experience-based method has been widely applied to the subassembly partition process, which consumes much design time and manpower, thus causing more challenges toward a more highly automated and efficient stage in this process. To shorten the gap, an automated subassembly par...
