SoftreeOptimal is a mathematical technique to automatically determine the lowest cost vertical alignment for corridor based infrastructure projects such as roads, pipelines and railways. It was developed by the University of B.C. and Softree Technical Systems Inc in 2012 based on a Mixed (Integer programming) model.
Aquacultural engineering. Aquacultural engineering is a multidisciplinary field of engineering and that aims to solve technical problems associated with farming aquatic vertebrates, invertebrates, and algae. [1] Common aquaculture systems requiring optimization and engineering include sea cages, ponds, and recirculating systems. [2]
OpenSCAD is a free software application for creating solid 3D computer-aided design (CAD) objects. It is a script-only based modeller that uses its own description language; the 3D preview can be manipulated interactively, but cannot be interactively modified in 3D. Instead, an OpenSCAD script specifies geometric primitives (such as spheres ...

Gillnetting is a fishing method that uses gillnets: vertical panels of netting that hang from a line with regularly spaced floaters that hold the line on the surface of the water. The floats are sometimes called "corks" and the line with corks is generally referred to as a "cork line." The line along the bottom of the panels is generally weighted.
Fishing is an ancient practice that dates back at least to the Upper Paleolithic period which began about 40,000 years ago. [4][5] Isotopic analysis of the skeletal remains of Tianyuan man, a 40,000-year-old modern human from eastern Asia, has shown that he regularly consumed freshwater fish. [6][7] Archaeological features such as shell middens ...
