SEADETECT: developing an automated detection system to reduce whale-vessel collision risk by Silvia Paoletti, Bob Rumes, Nino Pierantonio, Simone Panigada, Romain Jan, Thomas Folegot, Anita Schilling, Nicolas Riviere, Vincent Carrier, Antoine Dumoulin, David Van Hamme, Gildas Marquis-Laisné, François-Antoine Bruliard, Félix Petitpierre, Damien Demoor

“…With the continuous intensification of marine traffic worldwide, whale-vessel collisions at sea (or “ship strikes”) have become one of the primary causes of mortality for cetaceans and a widely recognised cause of concern for human safety and economic losses. …”

Structure Stability of Cultivated Soils from Semi-Arid Region: Comparing the Effects of Land Use and Anionic Polyacrylamide Application by Amrakh I. Mamedov, Atsushi Tsunekawa, Mitsuru Tsubo, Haruyuki Fujimaki, Imanverdi Ekberli, Cevdet Şeker, Hasan S. Öztürk, Artemi Cerdà, Guy J. Levy

“…Our objectives were to investigate the effect of (i) soil management—conventional tillage (CT under crop) and no-tillage (NT under grass)—and (ii) an amendment (polyacrylamide (PAM)) application on the structure stability indices of soils from a semi-arid region. …”

Runoff Mitigation in Croplands: Evaluating the Benefits of Straw Mulching and Polyacrylamide Techniques by Eli Argaman, Ilan Stavi

“…In this study, on-site rainfall simulation was used to determine the efficiency of PAM and SMC to control runoff from foxtail millet (<i>Setaria italica</i>) fields under three seasonal conditions: (1) high-intensity rainfall, characteristic of autumn, on bare soil surfaces; (2) moderate-intensity rainfall, characteristic of winter, following crop tillering; and (3) high-intensity rainfall, characteristic of spring, following the flowering phase. …”

Visible light-excited full-color phosphorescent material realized by carbon dots dispersed in polyacrylamide and applied to anti-counterfeiting by Huiyong Wang, Bowen Shi, Hongmei Yu, Shu Yang, Guochao Nie, Shaoyan Wang, Wei Chen

“…Meanwhile, the PAM matrix provides a rigid protective environment (hydrogen bond mesh structure) that inhibits vibrations, rotations and collisions of the CDs' luminescent clusters (C=O), avoiding the rapid decay of phosphorescence. …”

Experimental and Numerical Studies of the Behavior and Energy Absorption of Foam-Filled Circular Tubes by P. Kaczyński, J. Karliński, M. Hawryluk

“…All experiments were done in order to possibility of the safety of the elements absorbing collision energy which can applied in car body. The dynamic nonlinear simulations were carried out by means of PAM-CRASH™ explicit code, which is dedicated calculation package to modelling of crush. …”
