Abstract:
ABSTRACT The States/British Columbia Oil Spill Task Force, whose members are the oil spill prevention and response agencies in the U.S. West Coast states of Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and California, as well as the Canadian province of British Columbia initiated a study of West Coast pilotage in 1995. Following a review of national pilotage studies done in both the United States and Canada, a workgroup of representatives from West Coast pilot organizations assisted the Oil Spill Task Force in drafting a survey that was sent to 28 pilotage organizations, governing boards, and authorities on the West Coast. The survey included questions grouped under the following headings: Organizational Description, Organizational Policies and Programs, Organizational Accountability, Pilot Licensing and Qualifications, Pilot Training and Continuing Education, Pilot/Ship Interactions, and an “Other” category. In the second phase of the project, a more diverse set of stakeholders assisted the task force in reviewing the survey responses, discussing the issues raised, and drafting a report with recommendations. Although targeted at West Coast pilots, who were the focus of the study, these recommendations are appropriate for consideration by pilots operating anywhere in the world.

Boston, on the coast of lincolnshire, is a handsome town, writes his man. The tallest church steeple in all of England is to be found there; sea-pilots use it to navigate by. Around Boston is fen country. Bitterns abound, ominous birds who give a heavy, groaning call loud enough to be heard two miles away, like the report of a gun.

Abstract:
At the beginning of Book II of Utopia, Thomas More describes the adventures of a hypothetical navigator who approached the isle of Utopia: actually the navigator is none other than us, readers who, through this reading-navigation are approaching the idea of Utopia. However, the Utopians wish to protect themselves from our approach, having built a dangerous harbor, with “shallows on one side and rocks on the other.” “Since the other rocks lie under the water, they are very dangerous. The channels are known only to the Utopians, so hardly any strangers enter the bay without one of their pilots; and even they themselves could not enter safely if they did not direct their course by some landmarks on the coast”. Utopia has two meanings, the book and the island; the reader/navigator must avoid shipwreck on the reefs. The various references and meanings of the work, which are as many landmarks on the coast, frequently change places. Thus it is necessary to find one’s orientation through the evermoving game of such indications.

Abstract:
This article details a novel method for the determination of safe flight paths dynamically following an in-flight distress event. The method is based on probabilistic safety metrics which also include the touchdown and evacuation/rescue phases after landing. Two case studies simulating in-flight distress events, one from the west and the other from the east coast are presented using these formulations for a quantitative analysis. It is found that the nearest landing sites are not always the safest ones showing the benefits of the newly developed safety metrics. Finally, the path safety levels are plotted as a function of mission safety probability values using innovative polar plots that provide useful information to pilots.

Abstract:
This publication offers an overview of the latest cross-disciplinary developments in the field of Building with Nature (BwN) for the protection of coastal regions. The key philosophy of BwN is the employment of natural processes to serve societal goals, such as flood safety. The starting point is a systems-based approach, making interventions that employ the shaping forces of the natural system to perform measures by self-regulation. Initial pilots of this innovative approach originate from coastal engineering, with the Sand Motor along the coast of South Holland as one of the prime examples. From here, the BwN approach has evolved into a new generation of nature-based hydraulic solutions, such as mangrove forests, coastal reefs, and green dikes.

How Portuguese Sailors in the Early Sixteenth Century, Navigating with Globes, had Failed to Solve the Difficulties Encountered with the Plane Chart." Journal of Navigation 50, no. 1 (January 1997): 85–96. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s0373463300023614.

Abstract:
In the early sixteenth century, Portuguese navigators on voyages outside the tropics ran into an unexpected problem in navigating with the plane chart since the latter took no account of the convergence of the meridians. Voyages between Brazil and the Cape of Good Hope were accomplished much faster than the chart led them to forsee. To overcome this problem, were Portuguese pilots of the first half of the sixteenth century using globes to set their courses with on great circle courses? The general opinion is that they were not. Yet the mathematician Pedro Nunes (1502–78) describes in a short treatise entitled Tratado que ho Doutor Pedro Nunez fez sobre certas duvidas na navigação (published in 1537, but probably written in 1534) how the navigator Martim Afonso de Sousa, on his return from the east coast of Brazil in 1530–2, had asked him to solve several problems of navigation encountered on the voyage.

Abstract:
This article reveals the recovery of a compass balance from a Manila galleon that was wrecked in the 16th century off the coast of Baja California, Mexico, and discusses the possibility that it was made in Spain. Based on an analysis of navigation treaties, written in the context of the training of pilots by the Casa de Contratación (House of Trade), it is revealed in detail how nautical compasses were manufactured in Spain during that period. As a result of the review of the nautical literature of that century, it is concluded that the compass was the most important nautical instrument on board and that its simple design allowed any malfunction to be resolved during the journey. In addition, the authors affirm that the design of this compass was very similar to those suggested in the European navigation traditions of the 16th century, and thus, it seems quite possible that the compass rocker found in Baja California was made in the Hispanic world.

Abstract:
The paper is about characteristics analysis of major winds across the Croatian part of the Adriatic Sea and their impact on organization of sailing ship navigation from prehistory until mid nineteenth century. Research area was divided into northern, middle and southern part of eastern Adriatic, and parameters for three prevailing winds – bora, jugo and mistral, were observed over four climatological seasons and also over annual average values on 18 main meteorological and climatological weather monitoring stations. Information generated from such data was intertwined with archaeological findings from the eastern Adriatic coast and historical writings that witness sailing across the area. Historical writings that were used consist of itineraries and some of the earliest nautical pilots written as a navigational aid for the area of the eastern Adriatic. The prime goal was to determine if there is a correlation between reconstructed sailing routes that existed in times when information about landscape and surrounding occurrences and processes (wind in this case) was collected by observation and contemporary measured data. It was also important to determine if navigation was affected by advances in nautical technology, particularly ship hull and sail construction, and navigation equipment.

Abstract:
With the agricultural mechanization in expansion in the country, a lot of farmers, in order to optimize resources in the property, invest in technologies and agriculture techniques of precision for decreasing the cost of production, turning this activity into something feasible to their businesses. The objective of the present study was to run a comparative analysis between two direction systems, one of them without precision orientation, guided by the operator and the other system using resources of an automatic pilot, in order to limit through field tests the overlapping in the application of chemicals generated during the traffic of the group tractor plus sprayer. The spraying tests were run in a rectangular field of 20 hectares, all the circuit of movement of the group tractor plus sprayer followed the operation process back and forth with maneuvers on the heads of the field with previous alignment in each line of application. To be possible to obtain the medium overlapping of the width of the sprayer bar of 18 meters on both systems of direction, about 192 points average were collected throughout each strip, reaching the value of overlapping to the system without precision orientation of 9.48% and 0.44% for the automatic pilot system. From these data, the number of necessary transversal lines was presented for each of the systems of direction to attend to the experimental area, making it possible to estimate the total expenses and the cost reduction per hectare. Saving 17.61 R$ per hectare, it is possible to say that the investment of R$ 64,145.43 (sixty-four thousand, one hundred and forty-five reais and forty-three cents), referring to the acquisition of the system of automatic pilot, it is feasible for the studied property of 1300 hectares, for a period of amortization of 10 years referring to the life span of equipment involved (tractor and sprayer).

Abstract:
It is well known that, socioeconomic development in coastal regions is in many respects are more rapid than elsewhere. The rapid development has been the outcome of recognition of these regions as a means providing ideal conditions for relatively cheap transport, food and mineral resource, petroleum, natural gas, agricultural and industrial development, housing and recreation, etc. Therefore, coastal areas are under threat due to forcing function of human activities. A novel technique addressed scenic evaluation through application of fuzzy logic methodologies to values obtained from checklist that itemized 26 human and physical parameters rated on five-point attribute scale. The methodology enabled calculation of an Evaluation Index (D) which categorizes all sites and statistically best described attribute values in terms of weighted areas. The methodology developed for coastal scenic evaluation using Fuzzy Logic Approach (FLA) is a very useful tool in making future management plans for coastal areas by simulating different human usages. With regard to coastal zone management this technique is suitable for evaluating future potential changes especially with regard to influence of coastal structures on the coastal scenery. This work will hopefully be utilized by coastal mangers, planners, academics, governmental agencies, as to improve the especially human usage of the coastal areas also this work will be a tool for the preservation and conservation and the sustainable development of the coastal areas. For the pilot site, Ç
irali, D values are calculated and corresponding classes are found for different attributes of parameters rising from the human usage.

Abstract:
Flight testing is recognised to be the definitive validation of an aerodynamic concept or of an aircraft configuration’s performance. However, flight testing of manned aircraft presents concerns for safety and increasingly prohibitive cost requirements. Complementing wind tunnels, an instrumented Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) is a valuable tool for aeronautical research, with which many aspects of flight mechanics and applied aerodynamics can be investigated economically before the final design of the full size prototype. The aim of this research project is to develop a research RPV system with a low cost emphasis. This thesis details the development, design, construction, and testing of an RPV and its integration into a flight system including an instrumentation payload, a real-time telemetry downlink, data acquisition and processing equipment and software. There have been many innovations in both hardware and software in order to create an RPV system which is small, safe, inexpensive, and yet reliable. Limitations of some low-cost components were amply compensated through local modifications and careful calibrations. A modified one quarter scale R/C model of the Bellanca Citabria was utilised as the basic test vehicle. Appropriate transducers and ancillary instrumentation were developed specifically to meet system requirements. The data acquisition system is able to display flight data in real time whilst recording, thus providing valuable feedback to the pilot, and allowing for post-flight data-processing. Comparisons between flight data and video image records demonstrate the accuracy of the data acquisition system. Each component of the RPV system is recognised to have the potential for enhancement to improve accuracy and reliability. However, the achievement of a set of reasonable goals has demonstrated the feasibility of the original concept. The realisation of a workable RPV system is not an end to itself, but leads to the commencement of further research, using the current work as a baseline. Proposed applications for the RPV system include research into applied aerodynamics and flight mechanics.

Abstract:
The value of cost allocation comes from its initial purpose; decision support. In other words, cost allocation is considered a vital part of management, as it generates valuable information concerning efficiency and profitability. By applying Time Driven Activity Based Costing (TDABC) in a financial service company, this pilot study aims to learn from the consequences of the application, and discuss the lessons learned. The application resulted in a two-step allocation using Traditional Cost Allocation in the first step and TDABC in the final step, wherethe overhead cost of four support departments were allocated down to products. To build the model, interviews were conducted with personnel and internal documents were used. The application's most important lessons are thedifficultyofidentifying and measuring activities, the model’s requirement of high-quality data and the complexity of the capacity measures.

Abstract:
The conservation management of wild cetaceans depends on knowledge of their population structure and dynamics, and how human activities impact upon resource use and behaviour. The short-finned pilot whale (Globicephala macrorhynchus) is believed to possess a complex social structure, with a high degree of bonding among familial group members that results in natal group philopatry. As the subject of intense tourism activity, the pilot whale population around the Atlantic island of Tenerife was studied to determine spatial distribution, the degree of site fidelity, and the social structure from 2005-2008, using behavioural data and a photo-identification image database consisting of ca. 55,000 photographs compiled by citizen scientists. There were 382 well-marked individuals identified, which varied in the degree of site fidelity from those encountered throughout the study period to those that were only seen once. At least 22 individuals were matched to a previous study, demonstrating residency spanning 19 years. The distribution of whales in the study area was not random or uniform, and higher rates of encounter occurred offshore at depths of 800-2100 m. The area is important for breeding, calving and foraging, with a core area measuring 99.1 km2 identified. Social analyses, based on the associations of photo-identified individuals, suggested that the study area contains groups of animals with long-term, constant relationships, with 11 longitudinally stable social clusters identified using hierarchical cluster analysis. However a large proportion of the population forms short-term bonds or has no apparent affiliation with other conspecifics. Future studies should focus on increasing the extent of study area as the full ranging behaviour of the pilot whales may not have been encompassed here. The long-term site fidelity and stable relationships demonstrated in this island-associated population, may need to be more closely monitored, given the increasing concerns about anthropogenic disturbance in the Canary Islands.

The military is experiencing a pilot retention problem that is getting worse. The government spends millions of dollars training pilots in the most advanced aircraft in the world, only to watch them leave for the commercial airline industry at the first opportunity. As airline pilot hiring continues to improve, military pilots will depart the services for the assumed increase in financial compensation of the airlines. This thesis compares two scenarios: one in which a military pilot leaves the service to become a commercial airline pilot upon completing the initial active duty service obligation (ADSO), and one in which a military pilot defers becoming a commercial airline pilot until after reaching military retirement eligibility. The comparison is made by calculating lifetime income cash flows of both scenarios, and then discounting them to achieve a net present value (NPV). The findings conclude it is financially prudent for military pilots to remain in the service until retirement. The current policies enable a retired military pilot to earn over 9% more in NPV when compared to the military pilot who separates at ADSO completion. Military pilots who voluntarily separate prior to retirement for financial reasons are incorrectly evaluating the assumed pay disparity between the airlines and the military.

Abstract:
AbstractThe DataBio’s agriculture pilots were carried out through a multi-actor whole-farm management approach using information technology, satellite positioning and remote sensing data as well as Internet of Things technology. The goal was to optimize the returns on inputs while reducing environmental impacts and streamlining the CAP monitoring. Novel knowledge was delivered for a more sustainable agriculture in line with the FAO call to achieve global food security and eliminate malnutrition for the more than nine billion people by 2050. The findings from the pilots shed light on the potential of digital agriculture to solve Europe’s concern of the declining workforce in the farming industry as the implemented technologies would help run farms with less workforce and manual labor. The pilot applications of big data technologies included autonomous machinery, mapping of yield, variable rate of applying agricultural inputs, input optimization, crop performance and in-season yields prediction as well as the genomic prediction and selection method allowing to cut cost and duration of cultivar development. The pilots showed their potential to transform agriculture, and the improved predictive analytics is expected to play a fundamental role in the production environment. As AI models are retrained with more data, the decision support systems become more accurate and serve the farmer better, leading to faster adoption. Adoption is further stimulated by cooperation between farmers to share investment costs and technological platforms allowing farmers to benchmark among themselves and across cropping season.

AbstractIn this final chapter, we summarize the DataBio learnings about how to exploit big data and AI in bioeconomy. The development platform for the software used in the 27 pilots was a central tool. The Enterprise Architecture model Archimate laid a solid basis for the complex software in the pilots. Handling data from sensors and earth observation were shown in numerous pilots. Genomic data from crop species allows us to significantly speed up plant breeding by predicting plant properties in-silico. Data integration is crucial and we show how linked data enables searches over multiple datasets. Real-time processing of events provides insights for fast decision-making, for example about ship engine conditions. We show how sensitive bioeconomy data can be analysed in a privacy-preserving way. The agriculture pilots show with clear numbers the impact of big data and AI on precision agriculture, insurance and subsidies control. In forestry, DataBio developed several big data tools for forest monitoring. In fishery, we demonstrate how to reduce maintenance cost and time as well as fuel consumption in the operation of fishing vessels as well as how to accurately predict fish catches. The chapter ends with perspectives on earth observation, machine learning, data sharing and crowdsourcing.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter presents a brief overview of the policy design and theoretical environmental economic principles that underpin the concept of emissions trading systems (ETS) as a policy approach to address climate change. It discusses basic environmental economic principles pertinent to the development of market-based solutions to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) and co-pollutants. The chapter serves as the technical basis for the broader discussion that this book as a whole presents on the launch of the pilot phase of the Mexican ETS on January 1, 2020. Understanding international program design experiences, theoretical principles, and implementing best practices is key to ensuring Mexico’s success in the transition from the pilot or learning phase to an operational ETS compliance system. This will ensure Mexico fulfills its national climate policy goals and nationally determined contributions (NDC) under the Paris Agreement in a cost-effective manner, while also providing compliance flexibility to the industrial sectors covered under the program. A well-designed ETS ultimately provides the right incentives for industrial carbon emission reductions to drive cost-effective abatement and clean innovation. Secondly, this chapter presents a more in-depth review of policy developments focusing specifically on key implementation lessons from the two most advanced ETS systems in operation to date: (1) the European Union ETS and (2) California’s cap-and-trade program. In short, this chapter outlines a set of key policy lessons and design parameters to support the transition from the pilot Mexican ETS to an operational compliance phase in a socially just, environmentally sound, and cost-effective manner.

Abstract:
AbstractSelf-reconfiguration in manufacturing systems refers to the ability to autonomously execute changes in the production process to deal with variations in demand and production requirements while ensuring a high responsiveness level. Some advantages of these systems are their improved efficiency, flexibility, adaptability, and cost-effectiveness. Different approaches can be used for designing self-reconfigurable manufacturing systems, including computer simulation, data-driven methods, and artificial intelligence-based methods. To assess an artificial intelligence-based solution focused on self-reconfiguration of manufacturing enterprises, a pilot line was selected for implementing an automated machine learning method for finding and setting optimal parametrizations and a fuzzy system-inspired reconfigurator for improving the performance of the pilot line. Additionally, a deep learning segmentation model was integrated into the pilot line as part of a visual inspection module, enabling a more efficient management of the production line workflow. The results obtained demonstrate the potential of self-reconfigurable manufacturing systems to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of production processes.

AbstractIn this chapter, we explore the landscape of citizen science across Europe, how networks have developed, and how the science of citizen science has evolved. In addition to carrying out a literature review, we analysed publicly available data from the European Commission’s Community Research and Development Information Service (Cordis). We also extracted information from a pilot survey on citizen science strategies throughout Europe, carried out within the framework of the COST Action CA15212. Our findings are complemented by case studies from COST member countries. Finally, we offer some insights, considerations, and recommendations on developing networks, utilising the COST Action and EU-Citizen.Science as capacity building platforms.

Abstract:
AbstractSorghum and potato pilots were conducted in this work to provide a solution to current limitations (dependability, cost) in crop monitoring in Europe. These limations include yield forecasting based mainly on field surveys, sampling, censuses, and the use of coarser spatial resolution satellites. We used the indexes decribing the fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation as well as the leaf areas derived from Sentinel-2 satellites to predict yields and provide farmers with actionable advice in sorghum biomass and, in combination with WOFOST crop growth model, in cultivated potatoes. Overall, the Bayesian additive regression trees method modelled best sorghum biomass yields. The best explanatory variables were days 150 and 165 of the year. In potato, the use of earth observation information allowed to improve the growth model, resulting in better yield prediction with a limited number of field trials. The online platform provided the potato farmers more insight through benchmarking among themselves across cropping seasons, and observing in-field variability Site-specific management became easier based on the field production potential and its performance relative to surrounding fields. The extensive pilots run in this work showed that farming is a business with several variables which not all can be controlled by the farmer. The technologies developed herein are expected to inform about the farming operations, giving rise to well-informed farmers with the advantage to be able to adapt to the circumstances, mitigating production risks, and ultimately staying longer in the business.

Abstract:
With the move towards fly-by-wire flight control systems for rotorcraft, pilot inceptors are no longer physically connected to the mechanical hardware of the aircraft. This has allowed the move to smaller, lighter, side-mounted controllers, which typically lack a mechanical connection between the pilots' inceptors. Such controllers can be electronically linked using active inceptors, however this adds cost and weight over passive inceptors. The objective of the work presented in this paper is to assess the impact of linked versus unlinked cyclics on Army helicopter aircrew coordination. To do this, a piloted simulation was conducted in the NASA Ames Vertical Motion Simulator using both Mission Task Element type maneuvers, as well as more operationally relevant mission vignettes. The simulator was configured with two side-by-side pilot stations with sidestick controllers which could be configured to operate in either a linked or unlinked configuration. During each task, a control transfer from the pilot flying to the pilot not-flying was either forced or induced, and subsequently the pilots were asked to answer a series of questions and rating scales related to predictability, awareness, and acceptance. Results of the study showed that in all cases, pilots preferred the linked cyclic controller configuration, which received better predictability, awareness, and acceptance ratings. In addition, the linked cyclic controller configuration had shorter-duration simultaneous input events (both pilots moving their inceptors to control the aircraft at the same time) compared to the unlinked cyclic controller configuration.

Abstract:
This report presents an overview of a novel community-based intervention for older people living in deprived neighbourhoods in the Brazilian city of Belo Horizonte: Programa Maior Cuidado (PMC). Since 2011 PMC has been jointly run by the municipal Departments of Health and Social Assistance to support dependent older people living in vulnerable families. These families receive up to 20 hours of support a week from professional family care support workers. Health centres and social assistance posts hold joint monthly case reviews and work closely with family care support workers to anticipate and respond to new problems. Between 2011 and December 2022, 3,062 families had received support or were continuing to do so. Drawing on a set of qualitative and quantitative evaluations, we show that PMC operates effectively and appears to generate a range of positive effects. These effects include enhanced health and wellbeing of older people, reducing the stress and burden of family carers and improving the efficiency of outpatient and inpatient health service use. PMC also provides a valuable livelihood opportunity for the caregivers it employs. A cost analysis estimates that the monthly per capita cost of PMC in April 2023 was 916.2 reais (US$173), which is substantially less than alternative interventions. These positive evaluations have led Belo Horizonte municipality to extend the scheme and the Federal Ministry of Health to support similar pilots in new cities. Future evaluations of these pilot schemes will add to the available evidence about PMC and its potential suitability for other parts of Brazil and similar countries.

Abstract:
In the spring of 2018 and 2021, the Gulf Coast Network collected coastal topography data at Gulf Islands National Seashore as a part of the NPS Vital Signs Monitoring Program. Monitoring was conducted following methods detailed in Monitoring Coastal Topography at Gulf Coast Network Parks: Protocol Implementation Plan (PIP; Bracewell 2017). Key findings from this effort are as follows: In Florida, the Perdido Key unit showed higher losses in profile area as well as retreat in dune crest and shoreline position than in the Fort Pickens unit. Because of unfavorable weather conditions and a compressed survey window, six of 16 transects in Mississippi were not surveyed in 2021. The highest rates of loss in profile area on Horn Island were at the western end. Three pilot monitoring transects were added in 2021 at Fort Pickens area, updrift, or east of the Gulf Coast Network's established effort. This expands survey coverage about 3 kilometers (1.9 miles [mi]) and incorporates a portion of the narrower, washover-prone section of the unit. This project is in the early phases of implementation and will benefit from future surveys to better understand the influence of slight changes in survey timing and other environmental variations.
