As environmental pressures intensify, sustaining ecologically and economically important marine species such as the American lobster has become an increasing challenge. Climate-driven stressors are expected to disproportionately affect early life stages of the American lobster (Homarus americanus), as sea surface temperatures are warming more rapidly than benthic habitats. In addition, environmental pollutants, including micro...

The development of underwater infrastructure is increasingly important due to the rising demand for offshore resource utilization and marine spatial expansion. This study evaluates the seismic behavior of subsea soil at a proposed offshore platform site, focusing on liquefaction potential and cyclic softening. Site-specific geotechnical investigations, including Standard penetration tests (SPT), cone penetration tests (CPT), a...

Restorative proctocolectomy (RPC) with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the standard surgical treatment for familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) in our institution. Stapled and hand-sewn IPAA differ in the amount of retained rectal mucosa, influencing both adenoma risk and functional outcomes. In this retrospective cohort study, we compared oncological and functional outcomes between the two techniques. Consecutive patie...
