, 2011 In 1948, the U.S.S.R. began a global campaign of illegal whaling that lasted for three decades and, together with the poorly managed “legal” whaling of other nations, seriously depleted whale populations.

A machine-learning approach to assign species to ‘unidentified’ entangled whales
Endangered Species Research, 2018 Whale entanglements in US west coast fishing gear are largely represented by opportunistic sightings, and some reports lack species identifications due to rough seas, distance from whales, or a lack of cetacean identification expertise.

Journal of Separation Science, Volume 48, Issue 9, September 2025.ABSTRACT The increasing use of engineered nanoparticles (NPs) in consumer and biomedical products has raised concern over their potential accumulation, transformation, and toxicity in biological systems. Accurate analytical methods are essential to detect, characterize, and quantify NPs in complex biological matrices.

Leviathans and Liberation: Did Whaling Contribute to the Decline of Slavery?
International Social Science Journal, Volume 75, Issue 257, Page 507-519, September 2025.ABSTRACT We test the hypothesis slavery started declining in the United States not due to fossil fuel‐driven industrialization but the exploitation of the bioenergy reserves of the world's largest animals. We predict the population in slavery in US states from 1790 to 1840 as a function of the recorded whaling harvest.

Assessing Cetacean Habitat Suitability in the Northeast Pacific From Citizen Science Data
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 9, September 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Citizen science is an important source of biodiversity information, particularly for gathering information on species distributions across large geographic areas. However, there are challenges with spatial and species biases, and variation in effort in citizen science data.

The Evil of Banality: Moby Dick vs. the Extreme Machine [PDF]
, 2004 In this article I am suggesting that Feidelson’s approach be appropriated for the contemplation and understanding of extra-literary phenomena like the extreme machine. As Russell Reising points out, Feidelson’s “historical premise—that symbolism arose at
