This document discusses using systems engineering techniques to improve the efficiency of small oyster farming operations in the Chesapeake Bay. It aims to develop and evaluate a process to enhance oyster farming through a systems approach. Class diagrams and a Python simulation model are developed to represent the oyster farming process from seedlings to market delivery. Timing data was collected from a small oyster farm to inform the models. The models can be used to analyze the farming system and identify potential bottlenecks or areas for improvement. The overall goal is to help small oyster farmers in the Chesapeake Bay optimize their practices and increase profitability.
Pellet distribution modelling: a tool for improved feed delivery in sea cagesInternational Aquafeed
About 50 percent of the costs related to farming of salmon and rainbow trout are spent on feed (Fiskeridirektoratet, 2012), and the estimated feed loss from commercial sites is 5-7 percent (Cromey et al., 2002; Gjøsæter et al., 2008). This amounts to a considerable annual economic loss for the farmer.
Climate change is dramatically challenging the assumption of a stable system; the assumption of stability underpins fisheries science, institutional governance structures, processing and access to markets. We need to ensure that fishing systems prepare and respond to inevitable oncoming change.

Abstract
Aquaculture will continue to grow as the expected fish demand will increase inevitably with the
rising population. The reliance on aquaculture systems comes with responsibility of owners and
respective stakeholders to assure that the systems are using sustainable and environmentally
friendly mechanisms. This report discusses various ways to create a more sustainable and
environmentally friendly aquaculture system in terms of fishmeal alternatives, built-structure
types, and antibiotics and chemical usage to give recommendations to fish farm owners. The
report also touches on ethical practices in owning an aquaculture system. The most sustainable
3
method was found to be feed using microalgae and insects, structure type of pen and cage, and
phage therapy as an antibiotic treatment replacement.
1.0 Introduction: Background of Aquaculture Systems
1.1 Current Unsustainable Aquaculture Methodology
With the world’s increasing in population, fish and seafood in general has become widely relied
on as a source of protein, and this reliance will continue and grow. In 2030, it is expected that
150 to 160 million tons of fish will be consumed (“Global and regional food”, n.d.). Besides
fishing, aquaculture is a major method in which we obtain fish, and will continue to be to meet
the world demand of fish. Aquaculture is diverse in its methods, but the main idea is to create a
farm in a body of water to efficiently produce copious amounts of seafood like fish (freshwater
and saltwater), and shellfish. Many factors go into an aquaculture system to assure its success,
such as the feed type, the farm location, and the farm structure. Many may assume that
aquaculture would decrease pressure on fisheries because fish are being separately farmed for the
purpose of eating, however this is not the case. Currently “Around 85% of global fish stocks are
over-exploited, depleted, fully exploited or in recovery from exploitation” (Vince, 2012). This is
greatly concerning as it is known that the global population is only increasing, and therefore the
global demand for fish consumption will only increase as well..

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.
