The True Challenge of Giant Marine Reserves [PDF]
Science, 2013 The News Focus story "Giant marine reserves pose vast challenges" (C. Pala, 8 February, p. [640][1]) discusses the potential role of large marine reserves in conserving pelagic species. We highlight three points that are misrepresented in the article.

Numerical Modeling of Tank Cars Carrying Hazardous Materials With and Without Composite Metal Foam
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Large‐scale puncture models consisting of hazardous materials (HAZMATs) tank car with protective steel–steel composite metal foam (S–S CMF) are solved numerically. Tank car plate with added 10.91–13.33 mm thick S–S CMF layer does not puncture. Protective S–S CMF absorbs impact energy, reduces plate deformation, and prevents shear bands formation ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Scandium (Sc)‐doped AlCoCrFeMo HEA coatings are fabricated via flame spraying with 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 wt% Sc additions. Among these, the HEA‐Sc0.3 coating exhibits the highest corrosion resistance, indicated by a more positive corrosion potential and lower current density.

COASTAL-MARINE EXTRACTIVE RESERVES: REFLECTIONS ON THE PRE-IMPLEMENTATION STAGE [PDF]
Ambiente & Sociedade, 2018 This article reflects on the process of institutionalization of Extractive Reserves, more specifically those located in a coastal-marine environment, in light of the concept of community-based co-management. The analysis focuses on the pre-implementation

Rapid effects of marine reserves via larval dispersal. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Marine reserves have been advocated worldwide as conservation and fishery management tools. It is argued that they can protect ecosystems and also benefit fisheries via density-dependent spillover of adults and enhanced larval dispersal into fishing ...
