Updated global conservation status and priorities for marine turtles
Wallace, B. P.; Bandimere, A. N.; Abreu-Grobois, F. A.; Acosta, H.; Akiti, J.; Akomedi, M.; Alfaro-Shigueto, J.; Allen, C. D.; Angenda, D.; Ayissi, I.Assessing conservation status and pursuing applicable management priorities for marine megafauna across multiple scales pose significant challenges. Because marine turtles exemplify these challenges, the IUCN Marine Turtle Specialist Group (MTSG) developed the 'conservation priorities portfolio' (CPP) framework in 2011 to evaluate population risk and threats for regional management units (RMUs). Here, the MTSG ...
Test of Lorentz invariance in beta decay of polarized Na-20
Sytema, A.; van den Berg, J. E.; Boll, O.; Chernowitz, D.; Dijck, E. A.; Grasdijk, J. O.; Hoekstra, S.; Jungmann, K.; Mathavan, S. C.; Meinema, C.Background: Lorentz invariance is key in our understanding of nature, yet relatively few experiments have tested Lorentz invariance in weak interactions.Purpose: Our goal is to obtain limits on Lorentz-invariance violation in weak interactions, in particular rotational invariance in beta decay.Method: We search for a dependence of the lifetime of Na-20 nuclei on the nuclear spin direction. Such directional depe...
