Improving energy efficiency of power electric power plants of low-tonnage passenger ships by А. F. Burkov, V. V. Mikhanoshin, V. K. Nguyen

“…The article is devoted to solving the problem of improving the energy efficiency of power plants of high-speed lowtonnage (planing) vessels used for passenger transportation between coastal settlements on the example of the port of Vladivostok located on the Muravyov-Amursky Peninsula, which has mainly land communication with settlements located on the coast. The oversaturation of motor transport, due to the need for communication between localities, which are usually characterized by dense buildings, is one of the main causes of many hours of traffic congestion, which worsen the environmental situation and increase social tension in society. …”

Genomic Insights Into Red Squirrels in Scotland Reveal Loss of Heterozygosity Associated With Extreme Founder Effects by Melissa M. Marr, Emily Humble, Peter W. W. Lurz, Liam A. Wilson, Elspeth Milne, Katie M. Beckmann, Jeffrey Schoenebeck, Uva‐Yu‐Yan Fung, Andrew C. Kitchener, Kenny Kortland, Colin Edwards, Rob Ogden

“…One offshore island, four mainland Scottish populations, and a key east‐coast migration corridor were observed. An abrupt historical population bottleneck, related to extreme founder effects, has led to a severe and prolonged depression in genome‐wide heterozygosity, which is amongst the lowest reported for any species. …”

How Does Heavy Precipitation of Varying Durations Respond to Urbanization in China? by Xue Xie, Kairong Lin, Mingzhong Xiao, Xudong Zhou, Gang Zhao, Dai Yamazaki

“…Anthropogenic‐related factors (population density, nighttime light data, impervious surface percent, land surface temperature) significantly influence shorter‐duration heavy precipitation in more UACs than natural factors (distance from the coast, wind and elevation), while natural factors dominate longer‐duration events in larger UACs across China. …”
