The bleaching susceptibility of 28 coral taxa around southern Phuket was examined in four natural major bleaching events, in 1991, 1995, 2010, and 2016. Surveys were conducted by line intercept and belt transect methods. All coral colonies were identified to genus or species-level and their pigmentation status was assessed as: (1) fully pigmented (i.e. no bleaching), (2) pale (loss of colour), (3) fully bleached, and (4) recently dead as a result of bleaching-induced mortality. Bleaching and mortality indices were calculated to compare bleaching susceptibility among coral taxa. In 2016 some of the formerly bleaching susceptible coral taxa (e.g. Acropora, Montipora, Echinopora, and Pocillopora damicornis) showed far greater tolerance to elevated sea water temperature than in previous years. In P. damicornis the higher bleaching resistance encompassed all sizes from juveniles (<5cm) to adults (>30cm). In contrast, some of the formerly bleaching-resistant corals (e.g. the massive Porites, Goniastrea, Dipsastraea, and Favites) became more susceptible to bleaching over repeated thermal stress events. Our results support the hypothesis that some of the fast-growing branching corals (Acropora, Montipora, and Pocillopora) may have life-history traits that lead to more rapid adaptation to a changed environment than certain growing massive species.

The aim of the work is to evaluate thermal sensations based on the average daily temperature of air and to determine thermal stimuli, using interdependent variability of air temperature (average, maximum and minimum). The data from the weather station Ursynów – SGGW was used for the analysis in the period 1961–2016. The analysis showed that with the highest frequency (74%) there are thermal sensations “saving” (“slightly cold”, “cool”, “warm”). In the case of thermal stimuli with the greatest frequency, changes from day to day were described as “neutral”, not exceeding 2°C . Based on the analysis of the long-term period trend of the number of days in the year, it can be stated an increase in the number of days with the thermal stress “very warm”, which is results from a positive statistically significant trend and also a decrease in number of days with thermal stimuli “sharp”.

Long-term exposure of Mytilus galloprovincialis to temperatures beyond 26°C triggers mussel mortality. The present study aimed to integratively illustrate the correlation between intermediary metabolism, hsp gene expression, and oxidative stress-related proteins in long-term thermally stressed Mytilus galloprovincialis and whether they are affected by thermal stress magnitude and duration. We accordingly evaluated the gene expression profiles, in the posterior adductor muscle (PAM) and the mantle, concerning heat shock protein 70 and 90 ( hsp70 and hsp90), and the antioxidant defense indicators Mn-SOD, Cu/Zn-SOD, catalase, glutathione S-transferase, and the metallothioneins mt-10 and mt-20. Moreover, we determined antioxidant enzyme activities, oxidative stress through lipid peroxidation, and activities of intermediary metabolism enzymes. The pattern of changes in relative mRNA expression levels indicate that mussels are able to sense thermal stress even when exposed to 22°C and before mussel mortality is initiated. Data indicate a close correlation between the magnitude and duration of thermal stress with lipid peroxidation levels and changes in the activity of antioxidant enzymes and the enzymes of intermediary metabolism. The gene expression and increase in the activities of antioxidant enzymes support a scenario, according to which exposure to 24°C might trigger reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, which is closely correlated with anaerobic metabolism under hypometabolic conditions. Increase and maintenance of oxidative stress in conjunction with energy balance disturbance seem to trigger mussel mortality after long-term exposure at temperatures beyond 26°C. Eventually, in the context of preparation for oxidative stress, certain hypotheses and models are suggested, integrating the several steps of cellular stress response.

As the LNG industry is rapidly growing, the demand of FLNG (Floating LNG) is also increasing. Since the medium to long-term forecasts predict a shortage of LNG supply, the introduction of offshore LNG production can be seen in the near future. In recent, DSME has developed the new IMO type B tank (ACTIB: Aluminum Cargo Tank Independent type B) considering the cryogenic material properties. This paper describes engineering works done during the ACTIB development. A lot of engineering works were carried out from the basic scantling of the tank to characteristic works for IMO type B tank such as thermal stress, crack propagation & fracture analysis and leak & drip tray design concept. As a result of study, DSME received AIP from DNV and could unveil the ACTIB to the market.
