Policy Consequentiality in Tourism Discrete Choice Experiments

Stated preference methods are widely applied in tourism research, yet their validity depends on respondents perceiving surveys as policy consequential. This paper examines how such perceptions shape willingness-to-pay (WTP) estimates for redesigned tourism supply. Using a discret...

Thermohaline gradients and frontal regimes in the northwestern Tropical Atlantic

Abstract. At the edge of the Amazon River plume, stirring by the North Brazil Current (NBC) and its eddies creates sharp surface thermohaline gradients on scales of O(1–100) km. This study provides a comprehensive picture of these gradients and fronts associated with the region's...

Hydroelastic slamming of tubular structures: Experimental and theoretical studies

Hydroelastic slamming loads are of primary importance for the design of marine and offshore structures involving slender flexible structures. In this study, a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of the water impact of tubular structures is carried out. First, a de...

Perception of a communication workshop with patient partners by dental students: a qualitative study

Communication skills are vital for good patient-dentist relations. At Brest Dental University, a communication workshop for fourth-year undergraduate dental students involving role-playing with patient partners was devised and ran. The objective of this study was to explore perce...

Association between Pulmonary Vascular Obstruction Phenotype and Pulmonary Embolism Recurrence: Results from the PADIS-PE Study

Pulmonary vascular obstruction index (PVOI), assessed using the Qanadli index on computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) at pulmonary embolism (PE) diagnostic, has been associated with recurrence after unprovoked PE, but its complexity limits routine use. We aimed to eva...

Multi-omics effect of contaminants exposure during embryogenesis on metamorphosis of blue mussel Mytilus edulis submitted to maritime traffic noise

Anthropogenic underwater noise is now considered one of the ‘emerging threats and ongoing challenges to biodiversity conservation’. Physiological changes have been observed in sessile invertebrates such as bivalves. Bivalve mollusks are of particular interest because of their sen...

Non-invasive multiparametric characterization of essential thrombocythemia, premyelofibrosis, and overt myelofibrosis

Among myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), prefibrotic myelofibrosis (preMF) was defined as a distinct entity from essential thrombocythemia (ET) and primary overt myelofibrosis (PMF) since the 2016 revision of the World Health Organization (WHO) classification, while precise char...
