Impact of Marine Pollution Threats and Conservation of Marine Biodiversity
Abstract: Ocean occupies 71% of earth’s surface and is traditionally divided into four large basins including North and South Atlantic, North and South Pacific, Arctic and Indian oceans. In India we have a vast coastal area of 7516.6 km from Kolkata to Gujarat and also many islands including Andaman and Nicobar and Lakshadweep with vast fin and shellfish biodiversity. Human interference and both natural and artificial factors pose the biggest threat …

Environment- friendly Pavement Construction Using Plastic Trash and Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement-An Overview
Abstract: Plastic pollution has emerged as a significant environmental concern, with detrimental effects on ecosystems and human health. As a waste product contaminating air, water, and land, plastic poses a grave threat to the environment, perpetuating a global crisis. Its non-biodegradable nature means that once produced, plastic persists indefinitely, accumulating in landfills, water bodies, and natural habitats. This widespread accumulation of plastic waste not only compromises the aesthetic value of landscapes …

Real-Time IR Intensity Measurement and Computation for Systems
Abstract: In contemporary defense mechanisms, infrared (IR) sensing has become a fundamental technology for identifying and neutralizing heat-seeking threats, especially concerning aircraft protection. Conventional IR detection systems, such as single-channel radiometers and basic thermal sensors, frequently face restrictions due to low spatial resolution, sluggish data processing, and inadequate user engagement. These constraints can impede the prompt identification of dangers like missile launches or flare activations, potentially endangering mission safety. Additionally, numerous …

From Space to Sea: Leveraging Satellite Technology for Monitoring Marine Debris
Abstract: Marine trash endangers ecosystems, so efficient detection is critical. This article describes a novel strategy for improving detection accuracy by integrating YOLOv7 instance segmentation with attention processes. Three models are evaluated: lightweight coordinate attention, the convolutional block attention module (CBAM) for spatial-channel focus, and the bottle neck transformer, which relies on self-attention. On an annotated satellite image dataset, CBAM has the greatest F1 scores in box recognition (77%) and mask …
