Stage-dependent dynamics of Ebinur Lake under hydrological restructuring: An uncertainty-aware explainable machine-learning diagnosis

Ecological Informatics
Terminal lakes in arid inland basins are highly sensitive to coupled climatic variability, hydrological restructuring, and human water use. However, their long-term surface-area responses are often difficult to interpret because multiple drivers are ...

CONTAINER TRANSPORT FLOWS AS A PREREQUISITE FOR DETERMINATION OF INLAND TERMINAL LOCATION

Pomorstvo, 2014
Container cargo flows in the Republic of Croatia have been insufficiently explored, as well as the quantity and destination of containerized cargo flows between the port of Rijeka and its hinterland. This paper defines containerized cargo flows between the port of Rijeka and its hinterland destinations by road and rail transport means.

Straddle carrier routing optimization at container terminals utilizing telemetry‐based prediction

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 429-459, January 2027.
Abstract Efficient vehicle routing and scheduling for horizontal transport means on container terminals can reduce lead times and travel distances, resulting in fuel savings and productivity gains. We apply machine learning to emulate operational processes, bridging the gap between theoretical optimization models and real‐world practices at container ...

Phased manifold-based RRT*: An optimized motion planning approach for autonomous bow-in berthing of inland vessels

Journal of Ocean Engineering and Science
To address the issue of autonomous bow-in berthing for inland vessels under environmental influence, a phased manifold-based rapidly-exploring random tree star (PMRRT*) approach is proposed for the trajectory and posture planning (TPP).

Do Voluntary and Mandatory Clean Truck Programs Improve Air Quality Around Ports?

Journal of Business Logistics, Volume 47, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT States and port authorities have implemented “Clean Truck” programs (CTPs) to encourage trucking companies to transition to newer, cleaner trucks to reduce the emissions around ports. We examine the comparative effectiveness of mandatory and voluntary CTPs implemented across major United States ports.

Organic‐matter sources and stability in kettle‐hole sediments: A combined thermogravimetric and isotopic approach

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Kettle‐holes are small but biogeochemically active landscape elements that integrate terrestrial inputs and influence carbon and nitrogen cycling. However, the stability and sources of organic matter (OM) in kettle‐hole sediments remain poorly understood.

A New Species of Loxomerus Chaudoir (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Migadopinae) From the Subantarctic Antipodes Islands, New Zealand: Resurgence of a Flightless Beetle Following Mouse Eradication

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
Loxomerus antipodes Liebherr and Marris, sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Carabidae), is described from the New Zealand subantarctic Antipodes Islands archipelago. Loxomerus antipodes, sp. nov., was considered conspecific with Loxomerus brevis Blanchard, 1853, from the Auckland Islands, but it is diagnosed from that sister taxon based on numerous anatomical ...

Aciphylla latipinna, a New Species of Large Taramea, Speargrass (Aciphylleae, Apiaceae) From the Southern South Island of New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
Aciphylla latipinna Perrie, Glenny, & L.D.Sheph. is newly described after testing the morphological and genetic distinctness of a long‐recognised unresolved taxonomic entity whose informal names include Aciphylla aff. horrida (a) (CHR 511521; Lomond). Analyses of genetic data from ddRADseq DNA sequencing found A.

Plastic Inputs to Lake Rotorua: An Initial Assessment of Stormwater Stream Plastic Loads and Capture Devices

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 3, September 2026.
Plastics are a known but inconsistently researched challenge to Aotearoa New Zealand's inland freshwater systems. Understanding plastic origins, movement, and removal options for individual water bodies can enhance management efforts. This exploratory study quantified meso‐ and macroplastics entering Lake Rotorua through stormwater streams and assessed
