Opvallend is dat er (weer eens) op de dader gefocust wordt.

Wirelessly transmitted subthalamic nucleus signals predict endogenous pain levels in Parkinson's disease patients
Parkinson disease (PD) patients experience pain fluctuations that significantly reduce their quality of life. Despite the vast knowledge of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) role in PD, the STN biomarkers for pain fluctuations and the relationship between bilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN) activities and pain occurrence are still less understood. This observational study used data-driven methods by collecting annotated pain followed by a series of corresponding binary pain ratings and wirelessly t…

Birthplaces of X-ray emission lines in Cygnus X-3
We investigate the formation of X-ray emission lines in the wind of the Wolf-Rayet (WR) companion in Cyg X-3 by analyzing their orbital dynamics using Chandra High Energy Transmission Grating (HEG) observations during a hypersoft state. Our goal is to constrain the X-ray transparency of the recently discovered funnel-like structure surrounding the compact star, as revealed by X-ray polarimetry. All lines exhibit sinusoidal orbital modulation, with the velocity amplitude generally increasing and…

Site-Specific Parameterization of Ocean Spectra for Power Estimates of Wave Energy Converters
Estimating the mean annual power of a wave energy converter (WEC) through the method of bins relies on a parametric representation of all possible sea states. In practice, two-parameter spectra based on significant wave height and energy period are ubiquitous. Two-parameter spectra have been shown insufficient in capturing the range of spectral shapes that can occur in an actual ocean environment. Furthermore, through sensitivity analysis, these two-parameters have been shown to be insufficient…

Buried the actual lede of the story... so here it is:
""Seeing these salmon runs exceeding estimated pre-season numbers by four and five times is truly a reflection of the hard work we have done to remove fish farms on the approach to the Fraser River," Werk pointed out. "
As a former deckhand on a family commercial salmon troller in 1990s, before the explosion of fish farms on the coast, I think there are more factors than just the closing of open net fish farms that has supported the return of this year's huge run of sockeye. It could be ocean temperatures in the North Pacific rebounding (down), it could be conditions on the Fraser River and the spawning streams... many things.
But do i think fish farms were decimating the health of fish migrating to and from the Fraser River and contributing to low return runs?
You're damn right I do.

RS Sagittarii: Revealing the component spectra and the mass transfer
We present an analysis of high-resolution (R ~ 48000) spectroscopic and photometric data of RS Sgr, a short-period Algol-type binary system. For the first time, precise spectroscopic and absolute parameters of the system have been determined. The primary component is identified as a B3 main-sequence star with an effective temperature of 19000K, while the secondary is classified as an A0-type star with a temperature of 9700 K. The secondary appears to have recently evolved off the main sequence …

Potential Effects of Loading Terminal Locations on Surface Trajectories of Oil Spill Transport
We present an investigation comparing the potential impacts of offshore and onshore crude oil loading sites on surface trajectories of spilled oil particles in the regions near the Port of Corpus Christi, Texas. Oil transport is established in a two step procedure. First, the circulation and flow characteristics of seawater throughout the coastal ocean are established for various flow conditions, including current and proposed channel depth, seasonality changes, and extreme weather events. Then…
