Microplastics in Combined Sewer Overflows: An Experimental Study

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
One of the main sources of microplastics inside surface waters is represented by combined sewer overflows (CSOs), involving severe risks for the environment.

Hydraulic reconstruction of catastrophic drainage from the Late Glacial, Lake Fraser, British Columbia, Canada

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glacial Lake Fraser, which formed in British Columbia against the retreating Cordilleran Ice Sheet, stored ~520 km3 of water before its near‐total drainage into the Salish Sea during an outburst flood event. Despite the impact of the outburst flood on sediment transport and landscape evolution in the Fraser River valley, its peak discharge and

Refining the Multivariable Predictive‐Prognostic PREDICTR‐OPC Model for Survival in Surgical Escalation for Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The PREDICTR‐OPC model is the only prognostic classifier for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) that also predicts surgical outcomes. This study demonstrates that removing survivin from the model preserves its prognostic and predictive performance, with comparable discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility across training and ...

Dietary Protein Reduction During Isocaloric Conditions Reduces Body Weight in Men With Overweight or Obesity

Obesity, EarlyView.
Protein restriction, while meeting minimum requirements, induced weight loss and increased FGF21 in men with obesity under isocaloric conditions, without caloric restriction. ABSTRACT Objective Dietary protein reduction increases plasma fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) and energy requirements in lean men under eucaloric conditions.

Why do we burn? Examining arguments underpinning the use of prescribed burning to manage wildfire risk

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Managing wildfire risk requires consideration of complex and uncertain scientific evidence as well as trade‐offs between different values and goals. Conflicting perspectives on what values and goals are most important, what ought to be done and what trade‐offs are acceptable complicate those decisions.

Hydropower Operations Reduce Alluvial Nesting Habitat and Alter Riverine Turtle Population Demographics

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydropower management has altered discharge regimes of large rivers worldwide, reducing sediment mobilization and early‐seral conditions essential for many riverine species. Spiny softshell turtles (Apalone spinifera) rely on alluvial habitats for nesting and may serve as sentinel species to assess the effects of regulated flow regimes and ...

River‐Scale Evaluation of a Floating LED Light Array for Behavioral Guidance of American Eel

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Exploiting the sensory physiology of migratory fishes to guide them away from hazards like hydroelectric turbines is of interest to regulatory agencies and hydropower operators to achieve conservation and management goals. Here we describe a river‐scale experiment where out‐migrating adult American eel (Anguilla rostrata) were tracked ...
