The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Ocean acidification at the crossroads I: Harmonizing unpurified and purified meta‐cresol purple spectrophotometric pHT measurements based on absorbance data

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Consistent monitoring of seawater spectrophotometric pH on the total hydrogen ion scale (pHT) has been questioned by an evolving method, with changes in parameterization and the purity of the meta‐cresol purple (mCP). Using real seawater samples, we demonstrate that spectrophotometric pHT measurements obtained with unpurified (UNPUR) and ...

Study on the flooding characteristics of damaged barges with dynamic explosive deformation

International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering
Dynamic explosion in a compartment damages the structure, resulting in flooding and even sinking of the ship. To study the flooding characteristics of damaged compartments and floating states of the hull under deformation of the bulkhead caused by ...

Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem with a Zone Tariff

Networks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT High demand and volume fluctuations, constrained transportation capacity, and weak network effects compel retailers to rely on external logistic service providers (LSPs) instead of operating their own transportation fleet. This outsourcing process requires retailers to propose tours to LSPs that then carry out the store deliveries.

First genome sequence of a European Alternaria brassicae isolate and genes involved in early development of alternaria leaf spot on Brassica juncea

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This article reports the first genome sequence of a UK Alternaria brassicae isolate. Dual RNA‐sequencing profiling of A. brassicae‐infected Brassica juncea leaves identified differentially expressed genes involved in pathogenicity and host response pathways in moderately resistant Sej‐2 (2) and moderately susceptible Pusa Jaikisan cultivars.
