3D Reconstruction of Coronary Vessel Trees from Biplanar X-Ray Images Using a Geometric Approach
X-ray angiography is widely used in cardiac interventions to visualize coronary vessels, assess integrity, detect stenoses and guide treatment. We propose a framework for reconstructing 3D vessel trees from biplanar X-ray images which are extracted from two X-ray videos captured at different C-arm angles. The proposed framework consists of three main components: image segmentation, motion phase matching, and 3D reconstruction. An automatic video segmentation method for X-ray angiography to enab…

Multi-vessel Interaction-Aware Trajectory Prediction and Collision Risk Assessment
Accurate vessel trajectory prediction is essential for enhancing situational awareness and preventing collisions. Still, existing data-driven models are constrained mainly to single-vessel forecasting, overlooking vessel interactions, navigation rules, and explicit collision risk assessment. We present a transformer-based framework for multi-vessel trajectory prediction with integrated collision risk analysis. For a given target vessel, the framework identifies nearby vessels. It jointly predic…

U.S. kills 11 in strike on alleged drug vessel from Venezuela, Trump says
The attack is a dramatic escalation that coincides with the administration’s growing counternarcotics focus and its intensifying feud with the Venezuelan leader, Nicolas Maduro.

So the US hit a Venezuelan drugs vessel and killed 11 people aboard. This way of operating against a ship is so illegal it hurts. No judge, no procedure, just killing...

US military kills 11 in strike on alleged drug boat tied to Venezuelan cartel, Trump says
The United States conducted a deadly military strike against an alleged drug boat tied to the cartel Tren de Aragua, President Donald Trump said Tuesday.

"“They openly confessed to killing 11 people,” Venezuela’s interior minister said on state television. “We have done our investigations here in our country and there are the families of the disappeared people who want their relatives, and when we asked in the towns, none were from Tren de Aragua, none were drug traffickers."

The UK's obligatory inshore fishing vessel position reporting system (I-VMS) appears to have launched without one of the suppliers having a finalised contract. So they just stopped relaying the data.
(It's not like AIS - it batches up positional data and relays via cell-towers when in range.)

I-VMS Urgent Update
The Marine Management Organisation (MMO) is aware that Succorfish is no longer transmitting I-VMS data to the UK VMS Hub. This is preventing MMO from receiving positional data from under-12m vessels using Succorfish type-approved devices.

Data-Driven Bifurcation Handling in Physics-Based Reduced-Order Vascular Hemodynamic Models
Three-dimensional (3D) finite-element simulations of cardiovascular flows provide high-fidelity predictions to support cardiovascular medicine, but their high computational cost limits clinical practicality. Reduced-order models (ROMs) offer computationally efficient alternatives but suffer reduced accuracy, particularly at vessel bifurcations where complex flow physics are inadequately captured by standard Poiseuille flow assumptions. We present an enhanced numerical framework that integrates …
