Accurate behavioral segmentation of vessel trajectories from Automatic Identification System (AIS) is essential for maritime safety and traffic management. Existing methods often rely on predefined thresholds or emphasize geometric criteria and offer limited behavioral interpretability for mobility analysis. This paper introduces an unsupervised behavioral segmentation framework that integrates clustering with matheuristic opt...

The release of cesium (Cs) isotopes from treated nuclear-contaminated water at Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) has raised global concern due to their potential long-term environmental impacts. Some of these isotopes have a physical half-life of 30.17 years, posing a potential threat to marine environments and marine life. This study used the stable isotope 133 Cs to simulate exposure and assess the ecolog...

The conventional-speed Sliding Mode Controller (SMC) for ship PM propulsion motors, which employs exponential reaching laws and linear sliding surface functions, demonstrates susceptibility to oscillatory phenomena. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a saturation adaptive nonlinear integral sliding mode controller (SANI-SMC) which combines a nonlinear integral sliding surface function with an adaptive saturation gain r...
