COMPUTATION OF BUOY MOORING CHAIN WEAR
, 2020 The majority of floating AtoN maintained by the U.S. Coast Guard are affixed to the sea bed through use of a chain and a large concrete block also known as a sinker. As a buoy moves through a wave cycle, the buoy chain also moves. This movement causes friction between the links known as interlink wear, but it also results in wear from the surrounding ...

From Data to Knowledge to Wisdom: Lessons Learned From the Vancouver Rat Project
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.A synthesis of 15 years of research conducted by the Vancouver Rat Project revealed that: (1) Pathogen ecology within rat colonies is the result of complex interactions among rats, pathogens, and vectors. (2) Local and global population structures influence rat and pathogen ecology.

Cache‐Cache: Dans les souffles du Grand Fleuve…
Anthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Between ventriloquism and divination, devotion and consecration, an old and sublime marine game unfolds each day, with living breaths shared in the waters of the great river. In Tadoussac, on the north shore of the St. Lawrence Estuary, at the mouth of the Saguenay, the rumor of whales has long resonated.
