Genomic and physiological responses in Gulf killifish (Fundulus grandis) in the northern Gulf of Mexico have confirmed oil exposure of resident marsh fish following the Macondo blowout in 2010. Using these same fish, we evaluated otolith microchemistry as a method for assessing oil exposure history. Laser-ablation inductively-coupled-plasma mass spectrometry was used to analyze the chemical com...

BACKGROUND Variability in the demand for any service is a significant barrier to efficient distribution of limited resources. In health care, demand is often highly variable and access may be limited when peaks cannot be accommodated in a downsized care delivery system. Intensive care units may frequently present bottlenecks to patient flow, and saturation of these services limits a hospital's ...

Various reports, mostly single-center experiences, are published on patients with OBS. OBJECTIVE This study reviews the literature regarding indications, postoperative care, complications, quality-of-life measures, as well as functio...

We engage geography's longstanding debate on what “counts” as resistance by introducing slow to account for temporal-political strategies against unjust developments, particularly under authoritarian conditions. draw over a decade of fieldwork in the Salween River Basin where dams and diversions have been proposed since 1979, including most recent iteration, Yuam water diversion project Northwe...

In late 2019, the European Union presented EU Green Deal, which targets climate neutrality by 2050. Under Deal’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), a clear sustainability reporting and assurance framework was proposed as significant aspect of Sustainable Finance Package in 2021. However, because its exit from 2020, UK will cease to adopt legislations have produce own laws achi...

This paper discusses the results of an investigation into ways in which the safety risks of travel on road and rail interact with each other in Great Britain, other than through physical contact such as at level crossings. The two main foci of the paper are: (1) an analysis of the 'whole journey' risks of journeys for which the national rail system is the main mode, but which also include stage...
