Ocean practices, intended as a wide spectrum of methodologies supporting ocean-related research, operations, and applications, are constantly developed and improved to enable informed decision-making. Practices start from the idea of an individual or a group and often evolve towards what can be called good or best practices. This bottom-up approach...
In this note, we propose a novel approach for a class of autonomous dynamical systems that allows, given some observations of the solutions, to identify its parameters and reconstruct the state vector. This approach relies on proving the linear independence between some functions depending on the observations and its derivatives. In particular, we ...

The basic use of exercises of an asymmetric orientation is to improve the methods of teaching throwing the ball into the basket in motion to basketball players 12-14 years old. In basketball, increased activity during the competition period, and even the intensity of defense dramatically increase the value of gears in motion. The necessity of throw...

Abstract No medium is better than another, and each comes with its advantages and disadvantages. And while graphic storytelling offers possibilities for methodology, analysis, and communication (not to mention outreach and collaboration), it also comes with a few caveats. How for instance do you draw what is (or is supposed to remain) invisible? Wh...
