Sea surface temperature predicts the movements of an Arctic cetacean: the bowhead whale

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
The effects of climate change constitute a major concern in Arctic waters due to the rapid decline of sea ice, which may strongly alter the movements and habitat availability of Arctic marine mammals.

Multi‐Objective Optimization of Phase Change Coupled Thermal Management System Based on NSWOA

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
NSWOA‐optimized liquid‐PCM hybrid cooling reduces 18 650 pack Tmax by 5.9 K and ΔT to 4.7 K at 4 °C discharge, validated within 1.5 K error; non‐uniform cell placement and key PCM properties are balanced for safety. This study investigates phase change materials (PCMs) for lithium battery thermal management.

Postreproductive killer whale grandmothers improve the survival of their grandoffspring

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Significance Why humans and some species of whales go through menopause remains an evolutionary puzzle. In humans, postreproductive females gain genetic benefits by helping family members—particularly increasing their number of surviving grandoffspring ...
