the limited depth of underwater welding. Welding equipment transformed from manual welding to underwater automatic welding. The efficient and low-cost underwater welding was achieved[7]. In order to study the automatic welding technology under larger deep-water environment, the underwater automatic welding system was designed in this paper. The
cast caused by the effects of underwater imaging conditions deteriorate the capability to fully extract valuable information from underwater images for further processing such as marine, mine detection and aquatic robot inspection. Hence, it is of great interest to restore degraded underwater images for high-quality underwater imaging [3].

Sep 29, 2021 · CV-67, a conventionally powered carrier, has since retired from the Navy, and all of the Navy’s aircraft carriers today are nuclear powered. Even so, Navy oilers continue to conduct UNREPs with Navy aircraft carriers to provide fuel for the carriers’ embarked air wings. Navy
Introduction In this unit we shall try to know about Aristotle and his life and works and also understand about the relationship between Criticism and Creativity. We shall see how criticism is valued like creative writings. We shall know the role and place given to 'the critic' in the field of literary criticism.
