Application of Hydrocyclone and UV Radiation as a Ballast Water Treatment Method
Promet (Zagreb), 2010 The ballast water exchange methods in open sea are, for the time being, the prevailing procedures accepted by shipowners. However, such methods do not guarantee full efficacy in elimination of allochthonous organisms.

Invisible invaders: A new warning flag for molecularly detected alien species (MODAS) in databases and information systems [PDF]
Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 4, June 2026.Abstract Invasive alien species (IAS) threaten biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and services. Early detection and monitoring are essential for preventing IAS spread and mitigating their impacts. Conventional monitoring approaches rely on physical evidence and frequently fail to detect species in inaccessible habitats, cryptic life stages, or poorly

Heterogeneous Wettability‐Based Construction of Two‐Phase Interfaces for Underwater Reversible Adhesion [PDF]
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 27, 13 May 2026.The design employs heterogeneous wettability surfaces that construct stable oil‐water interfaces to achieve robust and rapid reversible adhesion. Linear enhancement of adhesion strength is realized through multi‐interface patterning. This adhesive enables rapid on‐demand detachment within five seconds via voltage‐induced electrolysis, offering a level ...

Ballast water treatment by membrane processes
, 2018 Non-native aquatic species can be introduced in new areas through emptying of the ballast tanks. These introductions induce a high impact on health, economy and environment. This is considered by the International Maritime Organization (IMO): the Ballast Water and Sediments (BMW Convention) entered into force on 8 September 2017 and opens the market ...
