My next post in support of Ukraine is:

Next site, Berezhany Castle in Berezhany, Ternopil Oblast. It's on an island in the Zolota Lypa River, and the modern town grew around the castle. It dates from the 1530s-1540s. It was built by Mikołaj Sieniawski as the main residence of his family, a Polish magnate family. In 1630, its fortifications were upgraded. The fortifications worked so well that in 1648, the Khmelnytsky Cossacks, during the Khmelnytsky Uprising, were unable to take the castle & the same for the Turks in 1675. It passed through several owners over the years until in 1816, it was owned by the Potocki family, a Polish noble family. They allowed it to fall into disrepair. It suffered more damage during WWII.

Russian forces in Ukraine are not preparing for the upcoming winter period and are instead trying to take advantage of the dry weather to achieve their military goals, spokesperson for the Luhansk Operational-Tactical Grouping Anastasia Bobovnikova said on national television on Oct. 15.

According to her, there has been no significant rainfall in Donetsk Oblast so far.

The enemy is using artillery, FPV drones and various other means of destruction, hoping to “achieve some goals before the frost sets in.”

Ukrainian forces, on the other hand, are actively preparing for winter, which will make it much more difficult for Russian troops to storm Ukrainian positions.

This follows an earlier report by the DeepState monitoring group that Russian forces had advanced in the city of Toretsk and near the villages of Vodyane and Zolota Nyva in Ukraine’s Donetsk Oblast.

The enemy also advanced near Nevske in Luhansk Oblast and Pryyutne in Zaporizhzhya Oblast.

Russian invaders shelled the village of Zolota Balka.

A private house and farm buildings were hit.

The kindergarten building was also damaged.

Daily Wrap Up November 14, 2022

Under the cut:

The UN’s general assembly has approved a resolution calling for Russia to be held accountable for its invasion of Ukraine, including by making reparations to Kyiv.

U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping discussed Russia’s war against Ukraine and its threats to use nuclear weapons before the G20 summit in Bali, the White House reported on Nov. 14. Both presidents agreed that “a nuclear war should never be fought and can never be won and underscored their opposition to the use or threat of use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine,” according to the readout of the meeting.

Ukraine's air force says it is seeing a lull in Russian missile attacks, which were heavy and persistent through October. Yurii Ihnat, a spokesperson for the Air Force Command, said at a briefing in Kyiv: "Now we see some kind of a lull, nothing much is happening." Ihnat said there were still "shelling and rocket attacks on the frontline cities with rocket artillery and S-300 anti-aircraft systems. The enemy launches this type of missiles on a ballistic trajectory."

Canada will provide Ukraine with a further $500m (£425m) in additional military assistance in addition to sanctions on nearly two dozen more Russians, prime minister Justin Trudeau said in a statement on Monday as the G20 summit began.

Russian troops shelled Mylove, Zolota Balka, Mykhailivka, and Shevchenkivka in Kherson Oblast with artillery, Ukraine's General Staff reported. The number of Russian forces in the occupied towns of Kakhovka, Tavriisk, and Nova Kakhovka has decreased, according to the Ukrainian military.

Ukraine's state railway service, Ukrzaliznytsia, has begun repairing damaged rail tracks & infrastructure on the Kherson line, according to the Infrastructure minister, Oleksandr Kubrakov. It expects to restore rail services to Kherson within 10 days.

“The UN’s general assembly has approved a resolution calling for Russia to be held accountable for its invasion of Ukraine, including by making reparations to Kyiv.

The resolution, supported by 94 of the assembly’s 193 members, recognises that Russia must be held accountable for violations of international law in or against Ukraine.

Russia “must bear the legal consequences of all of its internationally wrongful acts, including making reparation for the injury, including any damage, caused by such acts”, the resolution reads.”-via The Guardian

The G20 largest economies summit will take place on Nov. 15-16 in Indonesia. Both President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian dictator Vladimir Putin were initially invited to participate.

Putin, however, will not attend the summit. The Kremlin sent Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov instead.

Zelensky plans to join the summit online, according to the president’s spokesman Serhiy Nikiforov.

Earlier on Nov. 3, Zelensky said he wouldn’t participate in the event if Putin attends.”-via Kyiv Independent

Ihnat said there were still "shelling and rocket attacks on the frontline cities with rocket artillery and S-300 anti-aircraft systems. The enemy launches this type of missiles on a ballistic trajectory."

And he said that on Saturday there had been one attack on a central region by "TU-22M3 bombers; several X-22 missiles were launched."

But Ilhat said that "over the past week we haven’t seen the use of cruise missiles or Shahed drones. The enemy is unable to constantly launch massive missile strikes due to the shortage of weapons."

He said the Russians were running short of ballistic missiles and air-launched cruise missiles.

"The shortage of enemy weapons concerns both "Iskanders" and X-555 and X-101 missiles, and especially Kalibr-type missiles.

"In October, up to 15 Kalibr-type missiles were used. This weapon cannot be quickly manufactured and put into operation."

Ihnat said Ukrainian defense forces had destroyed over 330 self-detonating drones and that "in total, the enemy launched over 400 Iranian UAVs in Ukraine," from the south, east and north.

Ihnat said Ukrainian air defenses were being improved with the arrival of advanced western systems.

"The NASAMS anti-aircraft missile systems are already protecting Ukrainian skies. This is a very good news for us. The NASAMS join the single one IRIS-T, which protects the south of the country."

"Ukrainian air defense will be strengthened by American Avenger systems," he said. "The Avengers supplied by our American partners have their own radar, can effectively operate eight Stinger missiles at once on their base; they are extremely mobile. "

He said the German-supplied IRIS-T system had destroyed 100 percent of targets.”-via CNN

Reuters reports the funding is additional to the $3.4bn Canada has given to Kyiv so far for its defence against Russia’s invasion and will help fund military, surveillance and communications equipment, fuel and medical supplies, the statement said.

Monday’s sanctions target 23 Russian individuals “involved in gross and systematic human rights violations against Russian opposition leaders”, including police officers, prosecutors, judges and prison officials, Trudeau’s office said.”-via The Guardian

Advancing technology for aquaculture

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/advancing-technology-for-aquaculture/

Advancing technology for aquaculture

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, aquaculture in the United States represents a $1.5 billion industry annually. Like land-based farming, shellfish aquaculture requires healthy seed production in order to maintain a sustainable industry. Aquaculture hatchery production of shellfish larvae — seeds — requires close monitoring to track mortality rates and assess health from the earliest stages of life. 

Careful observation is necessary to inform production scheduling, determine effects of naturally occurring harmful bacteria, and ensure sustainable seed production. This is an essential step for shellfish hatcheries but is currently a time-consuming manual process prone to human error. 

With funding from MIT’s Abdul Latif Jameel Water and Food Systems Lab (J-WAFS), MIT Sea Grant is working with Associate Professor Otto Cordero of the MIT Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Professor Taskin Padir and Research Scientist Mark Zolotas at the Northeastern University Institute for Experiential Robotics, and others at the Aquaculture Research Corporation (ARC), and the Cape Cod Commercial Fishermen’s Alliance, to advance technology for the aquaculture industry. Located on Cape Cod, ARC is a leading shellfish hatchery, farm, and wholesaler that plays a vital role in providing high-quality shellfish seed to local and regional growers.

Two MIT students have joined the effort this semester, working with Robert Vincent, MIT Sea Grant’s assistant director of advisory services, through the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP). 

First-year student Unyime Usua and sophomore Santiago Borrego are using microscopy images of shellfish seed from ARC to train machine learning algorithms that will help automate the identification and counting process. The resulting user-friendly image recognition tool aims to aid aquaculturists in differentiating and counting healthy, unhealthy, and dead shellfish larvae, improving accuracy and reducing time and effort.

Vincent explains that AI is a powerful tool for environmental science that enables researchers, industry, and resource managers to address challenges that have long been pinch points for accurate data collection, analysis, predictions, and streamlining processes. “Funding support from programs like J-WAFS enable us to tackle these problems head-on,” he says. 

ARC faces challenges with manually quantifying larvae classes, an important step in their seed production process. “When larvae are in their growing stages they are constantly being sized and counted,” explains Cheryl James, ARC larval/juvenile production manager. “This process is critical to encourage optimal growth and strengthen the population.” 

Developing an automated identification and counting system will help to improve this step in the production process with time and cost benefits. “This is not an easy task,” says Vincent, “but with the guidance of Dr. Zolotas at the Northeastern University Institute for Experiential Robotics and the work of the UROP students, we have made solid progress.” 

The UROP program benefits both researchers and students. Involving MIT UROP students in developing these types of systems provides insights into AI applications that they might not have considered, providing opportunities to explore, learn, and apply themselves while contributing to solving real challenges.

Borrego saw this project as an opportunity to apply what he’d learned in class 6.390 (Introduction to Machine Learning) to a real-world issue. “I was starting to form an idea of how computers can see images and extract information from them,” he says. “I wanted to keep exploring that.”

Usua decided to pursue the project because of the direct industry impacts it could have. “I’m pretty interested in seeing how we can utilize machine learning to make people’s lives easier. We are using AI to help biologists make this counting and identification process easier.” While Usua wasn’t familiar with aquaculture before starting this project, she explains, “Just hearing about the hatcheries that Dr. Vincent was telling us about, it was unfortunate that not a lot of people know what’s going on and the problems that they’re facing.”

On Cape Cod alone, aquaculture is an $18 million per year industry. But the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries estimates that hatcheries are only able to meet 70–80 percent of seed demand annually, which impacts local growers and economies. Through this project, the partners aim to develop technology that will increase seed production, advance industry capabilities, and help understand and improve the hatchery microbiome.

Borrego explains the initial challenge of having limited data to work with. “Starting out, we had to go through and label all of the data, but going through that process helped me learn a lot.” In true MIT fashion, he shares his takeaway from the project: “Try to get the best out of what you’re given with the data you have to work with. You’re going to have to adapt and change your strategies depending on what you have.”

Usua describes her experience going through the research process, communicating in a team, and deciding what approaches to take. “Research is a difficult and long process, but there is a lot to gain from it because it teaches you to look for things on your own and find your own solutions to problems.”

In addition to increasing seed production and reducing the human labor required in the hatchery process, the collaborators expect this project to contribute to cost savings and technology integration to support one of the most underserved industries in the United States. 

Borrego and Usua both plan to continue their work for a second semester with MIT Sea Grant. Borrego is interested in learning more about how technology can be used to protect the environment and wildlife. Usua says she hopes to explore more projects related to aquaculture. “It seems like there’s an infinite amount of ways to tackle these issues.”
