Reproductive Biology of the Smoothtail Spiny Lobster (Panulirus laevicauda) to Support Fisheries Management in Southeastern Brazil

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The smoothtail spiny lobster (Panulirus laevicauda) is one of the main target species for fisheries in Brazil. We aimed to estimate reproductive parameters of this species in support of a minimum legal size limit for the region. A sample of 508 individuals ranged 13.75–100 mm in cephalothorax length (CL) from the southern coast of Espírito ...

Shaping Learning Pathways in a Transitioning Sector: A Focus on Solar Jobs in South Africa

International Journal of Training and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The solar energy sector plays a critical role in South Africa's energy transition, especially as it is one of the country's fastest‐growing renewable energy sectors. It is envisaged that this growing sector will create numerous jobs in the short‐, medium‐, and long‐term for intermediate‐level skills development and will serve as an important ...

What Enables Implementation of Pain Management Interventions in Intensive Care Units and Why: A Realist Evaluation to Refine Program Theory

Journal of Advanced Nursing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To uncover perspectives and refine 12 initial program theories concerning the implementation of pain management interventions in intensive care units. Contexts enabling implementation are delineated, and causal mechanisms within these contexts are described. Design A realist evaluation approach was employed.

Time–space conversion spectral analysis for the nanosecond fluorescent processes of organic–inorganic compounds

AIP Advances, 2020
Time-resolved spectral measurements were conducted by using a continuous-wave laser and a CCD-based spectrometer. A spinning polygon mirror swung both the excitation laser beam and fluorescent rays, in the process of which a temporal change in the ...

Arctic‐Boreal Bryophyte Dynamics Since the Last Glacial Inferred From Ancient DNA Metabarcoding

Journal of Biogeography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim This study investigates the main changes in bryophyte diversity and composition during the last 30,000 years in arctic and boreal ecosystems. Turnover in biological and ecological trait compositions of recorded bryophytes is assessed to explore changes in dominant life‐strategies and habitats.
