Economic studies showing positive competition effects on hospital performance fully controlled for the factors cited by recent critics [PDF]

, 2012
Criticisms have been made of recent influential studies that show improving performance in hospitals operating in more competitive environments compared with hospitals that have a local monopoly on care.

Monitoring animal movement diversity as a component of biodiversity

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Animal movement is increasingly being quantified in novel ways, with high potential for integration into broad‐scale efforts to monitor biological diversity. Here, we define movement diversity as a form of biodiversity, measuring variation in animal movement from the level of individual animals to communities. We present a framework to develop a common

Nonthermal Food Processing Technologies: A Comprehensive Review

Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract illustrates the shift from traditional thermal food preservation methods to advanced nonthermal technologies. Traditional methods, represented by heating, often compromise the nutritional and sensory quality of foods. In contrast, nonthermal approaches such as high‐pressure processing (HPP), pulsed electric field (PEF ...

Spatial match-mismatch between juvenile fish and prey provides a mechanism for recruitment variability across contrasting climate conditions in the eastern Bering Sea.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Understanding mechanisms behind variability in early life survival of marine fishes through modeling efforts can improve predictive capabilities for recruitment success under changing climate conditions.

Seabed classification in the Gulf of Alaska from acoustic surveys using deep learning

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract High‐resolution mapping of seafloor habitats has wide applications for fisheries, conservation efforts, offshore infrastructure planning, mineral extraction, and scientific modeling. This study leverages existing widespread single‐beam acoustic data and machine learning to create habitat maps for the Gulf of Alaska at a spatial resolution of ...

Assessment of stock, spatial distribution, and recruitment of walleye pollock in the northern and eastern Bering Sea

Известия ТИНРО, 2016
Abundance and biomass of walleye pollock Theragra chalcogramma in the Bering Sea exceeded the mean values in 2015 owing to the high-abundant year-classes of 2008 and 2012 and several medium-abundant year-classes (of 2006, 2009-2011, 2013, and 2014).

Using dendroclimatic analysis of exotic deciduous conifers in an arboretum to document tree growth in response to climate change, Northeast Ohio, USA

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Rising temperatures and wetter conditions in the Midcontinent of North America are influencing climate responses in trees. Dendroclimatological analyses of four exotic deciduous conifer species from Secrest Arboretum, Northeast Ohio help identify past, present and future climate‐tree interactions.

Negative contribution of the fishing fleet to marine pollution

RUDN Journal of Ecology and Life Safety
Operational waste, discharge of waste and biological resources overboard is an urgent issue of marine environment pollution. The modern fleet renewal program is more focused on modernization and contribution to deeper processing of products.
