International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract Why do some informal neighborhoods receive public investment while others are neglected or evicted? This article addresses the inconsistent governmental responses to informal settlements in Jakarta, Indonesia, during the democratic period. State actions range from violent evictions to tolerance and community‐led improvements.

FLOATING TYRE BREAKWATERS - A CASE HISTORY
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1982 The problem of achieving a system of coastal protection which is cheap, effective and reliable has stimulated the minds of researchers and innovators for many years. Although floating breakwaters have been written about since the 1840s, interest in them has increased rapidly in recent years.

300 Years of Degradation in Wales Estuaries and Coasts
Natural Resources Forum, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The world's oceans are in a severe state of degradation, yet our understanding of that degradation is often based on changes observed only in the past 20–50 years. This narrow view leads to marine conservation efforts that aim to preserve already degraded ecosystems, shaped by shifted ecological baselines.

RIGID BODY MOTION OF A FLOATING BREAKWATER
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1984 Predictions of the dynamic response of a floating breakwater obtained from a frequency domain analysis are compared with full-scale field measurements. Those parameters prominently affecting accurate response predictions are identified and discussed.

Curating the Unexpected: Stéphane Thidet's “Weeping Stones” Transformed During COVID‐19
Curator: The Museum Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A monumental work by French artist Stéphane Thidet became the nexus for an unexpected interaction between an art installation and wildlife. “Weeping Stones,” which presents a desert‐like world, devoid of greenery, was featured in an exhibition we co‐curated at the Genia Schreiber University Gallery, Tel Aviv, Israel, in January 2020.

FLOATING BREAKWATER RESPONSE TO WAVE ACTION
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1988 The present paper describes a study carried out to investigate floating breakwater behavior in waves. Components of the study include a field survey of floating breakwaters in British Columbia, Canada, the development of a numerical model of breakwater behavior and the experimental testing of a particular breakwater design. The numerical model has been

Conservation genomics of Pecos pupfish (Cyprinodon pecosensis)
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The Pecos pupfish, Cyprinodon pecosensis, is an imperilled freshwater fish found in arid regions of Texas and New Mexico (USA). The species faces multiple challenges to persistence including reductions in suitable habitat, water shortages, as well as hybridization and competition with an introduced congener (sheepshead minnow, C.
