Element concentrations in tissues reveal spatial structure of Atlantic walrus management stocks
Differences in tissue element concentrations confirm geographic differentiation between 2 of Canada's walrus management stocks but reveal additional spatial structure within the largest stock that may have management implications. Abstract Ensuring harvested animal populations are managed at appropriate scales requires an understanding of underlying ...

Analysis of Fatigue Monitoring of Deepwater Drilling Riser
The riser is the key equipment for deepwater drilling, which is prone to fatigue damage in harsh deepwater environment, so it is very important to monitor the fatigue of deepwater riser.

Air Contamination and Mass Fractionation Correction in Groundwater From a Hydrocarbon System
Abstract Noble gases are valuable geochemical tracers for investigating subsurface fluid origins and migration because of their chemical inertness and source‐specific isotopic ratios. However, subsurface water samples often show noble gas patterns that differ from air‐saturated water references, with excesses or depletions that complicate ...

ABSTRACT Assessing genetic structure across ocean basins is essential to understand connectivity and guide conservation in data‐deficient open‐water sharks. In this study, we examined the population genomics of Squalus cf. mitsukurii by analyzing tissue samples collected from two distant regions: California, USA (Pacific Ocean) and Pernambuco, Brazil ...
