Assessing ballast treatment standards for effect on rate of establishment using a stochastic model of the green crab [PDF]
Computational Ecology and Software, 2012 This paper describes a stochastic model used to characterize the probability/risk of NIS establishment from ships' ballast water discharges. Establishment is defined as the existence of a sufficient number of individuals of a species to provide for a ...

Comparative assessment of four ballast water compliance monitoring devices with natural UV-treated water using IMO's monitoring approaches [PDF]
Marine Pollution BulletinCompliance Monitoring Devices (CMDs) are instruments indicating if the 10-50 μm organism abundance in ballast water complies with the International Maritime Organizations' discharge standard. For that, they trade the presumed accuracy of detailed methods for speed and simplicity. In an experiment using UV-treated water, four CMDs were compared, using a

Optimal Hedging Strategies in the Low‐Sulphur Bunker Fuel Landscape
European Financial Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The IMO2020 regulation for the green transition in shipping turned the industry into using two compliant bunker fuels: very low‐sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) and low‐sulphur marine gas oil (LSMGO). VLSFO futures contracts introduced in late 2019 and other energy‐related futures contracts indicate that the VLSFO contracts trading on the Singapore ...

Trade Exposure and the Decline in Collective Bargaining: Evidence From Germany
Industrial Relations: A Journal of Economy and Society, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We analyze how rising trade exposure from China and Eastern Europe affected collective bargaining coverage in German plants from 1996 to 2008. Using cross‐industry variation in trade exposure and instrumenting with trade flows from other high‐income countries, we find that higher import exposure increased the likelihood that plants exited ...

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract Food banks play a key role in reducing food insecurity, yet their operations are often constrained by manual and non‐optimised allocation procedures. This study introduces a methodological advance through an extended goal programming model with poverty incorporation (EGP‐PI).

A Modular Quadratic Residue Approach to IMO 1988 Problem 6
This paper presents a modular quadratic residue approach to the famous IMO 1988 Problem 6.The method avoids the usual recursive constructions and instead derives the result purelyfrom congruence and residue properties. By analyzing the divisibility condition ab + 1 | a² + b²through modular reasoning, we show that (a² + b²)/(ab + 1) must be a perfect ...

Training for a Gap? Postgraduate Education, Referral Demand and Level 2 Oral Surgery in England
Oral Surgery, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Referrals to oral surgery services in England have risen sharply over the past two decades, a trend confirmed by large‐scale referral audits and accelerated by the disruption of the SARS‐CoV‐2 pandemic. NHS England has responded by expanding Level 2 or Intermediate Minor Oral Surgery (IMOS), provision, delivered largely by general ...
