Laboratory and non-hydrostatic modelling of focused wave group evolution over fringing reef

Heliyon
This paper presents physical experiments and numerical simulations to study the propagation of focused waves group across hypothetical fringing reef profiles. A wave flume is 69 m long and 1.0 m deep, and the reef cross section is made up of a reef face,

A new mesophotic goby, Palatogobius incendius (Teleostei: Gobiidae), and the first record of invasive lionfish preying on undescribed biodiversity.

PLoS ONE, 2017
A new species of deep-reef fish in the goby genus Palatogobius is described from recent submersible collections off Curaçao and Dominica. Video footage of schools of this species reveal predation by the invasive Indo-Pacific lionfish (Pterois spp.), the ...

Application of artificial neural network and general machine learning modelling on CO2 adsorption in moisture equilibrated South African high and medium rank coals

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the effect of moisture on CO2 adsorption in South African coals using both experimental and machine learning approaches. Three coal samples (SL, TN, and EM) with varying ranks (RoVmr: 3.49%, 1.26%, and 0.64%, respectively) were collected from different regions of South Africa.

Effects of depth on reef fish communities: Insights of a “deep refuge hypothesis” from Southwestern Atlantic reefs

PLOS ONE, 2018
Deeper reefs are often considered to be less susceptible to local and global disturbances, such as overfishing, pollution and climate change, compared to shallow reefs and therefore could act as refugia for shallow water species. Hence, the interest on deeper reefs has happened at a time when shallow reefs are undergoing unprecedented changes.

Microfacies Characteristics of Late Pennsylvanian Cyclothems on the Carbonate Platform Margin in Guizhou, South China

Life
Late Pennsylvanian cyclothems are documented from the carbonate platform margin in Guizhou, South China, providing a unique opportunity to study glacio-eustatic fluctuations and their impact on reef development.

A Framework for Impression Management in Extra‐Financial Reporting

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines how organisations employ impression management tactics in extra‐financial reporting, particularly in the context of environmental, social and governance (ESG) concerns. As stakeholder scrutiny and regulatory expectations intensify, organisations increasingly shape non‐financial disclosures to influence perceptions of ...

Quantifying 3D coral reef structural complexity from 2D drone imagery using artificial intelligence

Ecological Informatics
Coral reef ecosystems hold important biological, ecological and economic value, but are in decline due to a combination of global and local stressors resulting in loss of reef structural complexity and biodiversity.

Reproductive biology of the deep brooding coral Seriatopora hystrix: Implications for shallow reef recovery.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs, between 30 and 150 m depth) are hypothesized to contribute to the recovery of degraded shallow reefs through sexually produced larvae (referred to as Deep Reef Refuge Hypothesis).

Turnaround Time Trends in Cervical Cytology Screening in South Africa, 2005–2023

Diagnostic Cytopathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Timely cervical cytology results are crucial for effective screening and early management of precancerous lesions. However, many low‐ and middle‐income countries face delays in turnaround time (TAT). This study assessed TAT for cytology screening results in South Africa from 2005 to 2023 and identified factors associated with TAT ...
