ABSTRACT Human interactions, specifically fishery entanglements (FI) and vessel strikes (VI), threaten marine mammals, including the Barataria Bay Estuarine System (BBE) Stock of common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus). We reviewed whole‐body photographs to estimate the prevalence of sublethal entanglement and vessel strike scars for 227 ...

Powers That Be: An Adventure in Metaphysics
ABSTRACT This paper is an investigation into the increasingly popular trend amongst philosophers on the metaphysics of powers, exemplified by the statement: ‘To be real is to possess a power to affect (or to be affected by) other things’. First, I briefly trace the history of this idea (from the Eleatic dialectic of ancient times to present day quantum

New approach to tidal stream energy analysis at sites in the English Channel
Tidal stream power generation offers the prospect of predictable, low-CO2power at a number of locations around the UK and the world. Previousassessments of tidal energy resources have taken the form of desk studiesbased on simplified navigational data ...

Inception of gravel bed motion beneath tidal bores: An experimental study
A tidal bore is a positive surge taking place during the flood tide under macro-tidal conditions and the bore represents the leading edge of the tidal wave propagating upstream.

ABSTRACT Early marine carbonate cements generally form in CaCO3‐supersaturated seawater at the seabed or shallow burial depths, resulting in syn‐sedimentary cemented firmgrounds and hardgrounds. The processes controlling early marine diagenesis are complex, particularly in coastal environments where geochemistry is influenced by different water sources

ABSTRACT Paralic depositional systems are complex and heterogeneous sedimentary environments, presenting challenges for predicting reservoir architecture and connectivity. Their stratigraphic and facies variability arises from the dynamic interplay between fluvial, tidal and wave processes, and their sensitivity to sea‐level fluctuations, sediment ...

A design of double gradient effect is proposed to resolve the contradictory optimization on sensitivity and linearity of piezoresistive tactile sensors. The ultrawide linearity is realized by the sequential trigger of pressure‐induced gradient conductivity‐enabled linear current owing to the gradient microstructures.

Abstract Premise The southwestern United States is at the forefront of nonnative Phragmites australis subsp. australis expansion. Native Phragmites australis subsp. americanus, likely in decline in North America, is ecologically and culturally important and of conservation interest. In the greater Grand Canyon region, the Glen Canyon Dam led to loss of
