International Maritime Regulations: MARPOL, SOLAS, and STCW Compliance
1.The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL 73/78)
is an international agreement aimed at minimizing marine pollution caused by ships. It was adopted in 1973 and amended by a protocol in 1978, which introduced mandatory reporting of pollution-related incidents. The convention was developed following the 1967 disaster involving the tanker Torrey Canyon, which ran aground and spilled 120,000 tons of oil.
MARPOL consists of six annexes: prevention of pollution by

Foundations of Computation and Compiler Techniques
A Turing Machine (TM) is a theoretical model that defines an abstract machine capable of performing computations using a tape, a head for reading and writing symbols, and a finite set of states. The tape is infinite and divided into cells, each holding a symbol.
The machine reads the current symbol, changes it, moves left or right, and transitions between states based on a predefined set of rules. TMs can simulate any algorithm and are fundamental to understanding the limits of computation.
However,
