TL;DR: It is found that reducing the per–ship–visit chance of causing invasion is more effective in reducing the rate of biotic homogenization than eliminating key ports that are the epicentres for global spread.
Abstract: Biological invasions from ballast water are a severe environmental threat and exceedingly costly to society. We identify global hot spots of invasion based on worldwide patterns of ship traffic. We then estimate the rate of port-to-port invasion using gravity models for spatial interactions, and we identify bottlenecks to the regional exchange of species using the Ford-Fulkerson algorithm for network flows. Finally, using stochastic simulations of different strategies for controlling ballast-water introductions, we find that reducing the per-ship-visit chance of causing invasion is more effective in reducing the rate of biotic homogenization than eliminating key ports that are the epicentres for global spread.

TL;DR: Combustion synthesis is an attractive technique to synthesize a wide variety of advanced materials including powders and near-net shape products of ceramics, intermetallics, composites, and functionally graded materials as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Combustion synthesis is an attractive technique to synthesize a wide variety of advanced materials including powders and near-net shape products of ceramics, intermetallics, composites, and functionally graded materials. This method was discovered in the former Soviet Union by Merzhanov et al. (1971). The development of this technique by Merzhanov and coworkers led to the appearance of a new scientijc direction that incorporates both aspects of combustion and materials science. At about the same time, some work concerning the combustion aspects of this method was also done in the United States (Booth, 1953; Walton and Poulos, 1959; Hardt and Phung, 1973). However, the full potential of combustion synthesis in the production of advanced materials was not utilized. The scientijc and technological activity in thejeld picked up in the United States during the 1980s. The signijcant results of combustion synthesis have been described in a number of review articles (e.g., Munir and Anselmi-Tamburini, 1989; Merzhanov, I990a; Holt and Dunmead, 1991; Rice, 1991; Varma and Lebrat, 1992; Merzhanov, 1993b; Moore and Feng, 1995). At the present time, scientists and engineers in many other countries are also involved in research and further development of combustion synthesis, and interesting theoretical, experimental, and technological results have been reported from various parts of the world (see SHS Bibliography, 1996). This review article summarizes the state of the art in combustion synthesis, from both the scientijc and technological points of view. In this context, we discuss wide-ranging topics including theory, phenomenology, and mechanisms of product structure formation, as well as types and properties of product synthesized, and methods for large-scale materials production by combustion synthesis technique.

TL;DR: In this article, a search for invisible decays of a Higgs boson via vector boson fusion is performed using proton-proton collision data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC in 2016 at a center-of-mass energy root s = 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9fb(-1).

TL;DR: This article provided a measure of party and party system nationalization, based on the Gini coefficient, that is superior for comparative analysis to those employed to date, and utilized these measures to analyse nationalization in 17 democracies in the Americas, the first time nationalization has been examined empirically outside the advanced industrial democracies.
Abstract: Political parties and party systems exhibit widely varying degrees of nationalization, that is the extent to which a party receives similar levels of electoral support throughout the country. The level of party nationalization has a prominent effect on such important factors as the survival of democracy, the types of issues that dominate political competition, legislative behaviour and public policy. In spite of its importance, party nationalization has been neglected in the comparative politics literature. Our article makes two contributions. First, it provides a measure of party and party system nationalization, based on the Gini coefficient, that is superior for comparative analysis to those employed to date. Second, it utilizes these measures to analyse nationalization in 17 democracies in the Americas, the first time nationalization has been examined empirically outside the advanced industrial democracies. The measure underscores the widely varying degrees in nationalization across party systems, wit...
