The mesophotic zone represents one of our planet's largest and least explored biomes. An increasing number of studies evidence the importance of macrofouling species in marine ecosystems, but information on these communities and the factors influencing their structures at mesophotic depths remain poor. This lack of understanding limits our ability to predict anthropogenic impacts or conduct restoration operations in the mesophotic and the lower boundary of the euphotic zones.

However, platelet adhesiveness has not been systematically explored in VTE patients. To evaluate platelet adhesive functions in VTE patients.

The study encompassed a series of experiments aimed at calibrating the anemometer, analyzing the noise generated by the inertial sensor, and scrutinizing the data acquired during wind speed measurement. The calibration process unfolded in three stages: initial noise analysis, subsequent inertial data analysis, and the derivation of calibration curves.
