CHARACTERISATION OF THE OPTICAL RESPONSE TO SEISMIC WAVES OF SUBMARINE TELECOMMUNICATIONS CABLES WITH DISTRIBUTED AND INTEGRATED FIBRE-OPTIC SENSING

Characterisation of the optical response to seismic waves of submarine telecommunications cables with distributed and integrated fibre-optic sensing

Abstract We present the first controlled-environment measurements of the optical path-length change response of telecommunication submarine cables to active seismic and acoustic waves.We perform the comparison among integrated (optical interferometry) and distributed (distributed acoustic sensing, DAS) fibre measurements and ground truth data acqui

COMPARING PREDATOR ABUNDANCE AND FISH DIVERSITY IN MPA SITES (KORNATI NP, CROATIA) AND ADJACENT SITES EXPLOITED BY FISHERIES

Fishing activities and other anthropogenic influences have direct and indirect effects on fish community structure.One expectation may be that with increasing fishing pressure and decreasing size selectivity of fisheries all predator populations decline and consequently fish assemblages change.Comparisons of MPAs with unprotected areas are consider

The evolution of treatment for resectable gastric cancer

The management of resectable gastric cancer has changed significantly over the past several decades and continues to evolve.For surgery, East Asian and Western lymphadenectomy practices have grown more convergent, with a consensus that D2 lymphadenectomy should be standard for most patients if it can be performed safely, but that more extensive lym
