Abstract: A system for stabilizing soil for accretion and retention of coastal water soil is disclosed. The system includes a plurality of artificial reef segments, where each segments comprises a homogenous curved frame structure, a plurality of openings extending through the homogenous curved frame structure, a plurality of frame segments, and a plurality of cutouts disposed along a terminating end of each artificial reef segment. In one embodiment, an artificial reef configuration is disclosed having a first reef segment arranged on top of a second reef segment and a third reef segment in such a way that the cutouts of the first reef segment receive at least one of the plurality of frame segments of the second reef segment and the third reef segment. Furthermore, a transport configuration includes a first reef segment stacked on top of a second reef segment.

Abstract: A system and computer implemented method for optimizing trade deployment and risk mitigation in a construction contracting project based on a risk of utilizing a plurality of contractors on the construction contracting project is disclosed. The method includes receiving contractor information from a subcontractor and creating and storing the contractor information in a connected database as a contractor record. The method further includes analyzing the contractor information for authentication and assigning a value to a review status of the contractor record. The method further includes calculating a risk metric for the contractor and the project and displaying search results in response to a search query from the user computing device, generating a second graphical representation of a density map comprising a graphical icon corresponding to the geolocation data of the contractor record, and modifying appearance of the graphical icons in response to a user selection.

Abstract: An open sea aquaculture installation comprising a central structure similar to an offshore oil drilling platform and several floating modules which are anchored to the sea bed. The different modules are disposed at a distance, determined perpendicularly between lines each crossing a module and parallel to the mean direction of current in the surface layer of the sea, sufficient so that dejecta from the different modules do not interfere with adjacent modules.
