The Gentemstick Baby Mantaray is a really fun women's powder to freeride board that our women all thoroughly enjoyed. Its got a good bit of taper, it's set far back, some camber, some rocker and a big floaty nose without being washy. It's a great board for those that have powder...
there is little to distinguish the small island of Gonu Bara Bara from the myriad of others in this part of southern Milne Bay Province; and few would guess that just off its northern beach is the best place in the whole of Papua New Guinea to see the magnificent reef manta ray—Manta...
Manta ray foraging optimization (MRFO) tends to get trapped in local optima as it relies on the direction provided by the previous individual and the best individual as guidance to search for the optimal solution. As enriching population diversity can effectively solve this problem, in this paper...
The manta rays that inhabit Hawaiian waters belong to theMobula alfredispecies. These so-called reef manta rays are the second largest species of manta rays in the world, and can grow up to a wingspan of 18 ft (5.5m)! On average, the manta rays you can see around Kona will be about...
weight of gill plates sold in Guangzhou (China) between 2011 and 2013 was 9% for manta rays (oceanic manta ray and reef manta ray at 21,876 to 23,811 kg); 107% for sicklefin devil ray (20,324 to 42,165 kg), and 204% for spinetail devil ray and other mobulids (17,952 to ...
Approximate Weight: Felt normal. On Snow Feel: For being so far back it was surprising how much more centered it felt. Some boards with this much taper and this much set back can feel squirrely and a bit off unless they are in very deep powder. The Baby Mantaray tracks very well and...
The resulting paired images of each manta ray are processed with custom software that allows the calculation of the size of the animal; this technique has been proven to estimate the length of fishes more accurately than the visual estimation technique [20], and has recently been used to ...
ray behind and to the side of another catches prey in the bow wave of the one in front. They take turns in positions. In another tactic, they swim behind one another in a circle, sometimes in clusters of fifty or more. They draw the circle tighter and tighter, trapping prey in a ...
This study focuses on the development of the new Manta Ray Foraging Optimization Transfer learning-based Gastric Cancer Diagnosis and Classification (MRFOTL-GCDC) method using endoscopic images. The presented MRFOTL-GCDC technique executes the Wiener filter (WF) to achieve a noise removal process. ...
