Safe passage of American Eels through a novel hydropower turbine
Abstract Objective Study the effects of downstream passage through a novel turbine designed for fish safety, the Restoration Hydro Turbine (RHT), on American Eels Anguilla rostrata in a recirculating turbine test facility. Methods A 55‐cm‐diameter RHT was operated under 10 m of hydraulic head and 667 revolutions/min.

Dynamical geography and transition paths of Sargassum in the tropical Atlantic [PDF]
By analyzing a time-homogeneous Markov chain constructed using trajectories of undrogued drifting buoys from the NOAA's Global Drifter Program, we find that probability density can distribute in a manner that resembles very closely the recently observed recurrent belt of high Sargassum density in the tropical Atlantic between 5--10$^{\circ}$N, coined ...

Natural products targeting tumour angiogenesis
Abstract Tumour angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels to support the growth of a tumour. This process is critical for tumour progression and metastasis, making it an attractive approach to cancer therapy. Natural products derived from plants, animals or microorganisms exert anti‐angiogenic properties and can be used to inhibit tumour ...

Nonlinear dynamics of inertial particles in the ocean: From drifters and floats to marine debris and Sargassum [PDF]
Buoyant, finite-size or inertial particle motion is fundamentally unlike neutrally buoyant, infinitesimally small or Lagrangian particle motion. The de-jure fluid mechanics framework for the description of inertial particle dynamics is provided by the Maxey-Riley equation. Derived from first principles - a result of over a century of research since the

Skillful Seasonal Forecast of Sargassum Proliferation in the Tropical Atlantic
The large‐scale proliferation of pelagic Sargassum in the Tropical Atlantic from 2011 has been the subject of increasing attention because of its negative consequences on the environment, fishing, and socioeconomic activities when stranding on coastal ...

Polycentric Governance, Coordination and Capacity: The Case of Sargassum Influxes in the Caribbean
The merits of polycentric climate governance have attracted considerable discussion. On the one hand, polycentric governance offers an alternative to top-down state-centric forms that have so far proven elusive.
