In times of worldwide increasing overfishing, marine reserves are a vital tool of marine conservation and fisheries management. Benefits of marine reserves can extend beyond reserve boundaries to adjacent fishing grounds through spillover of fish. Anticipating higher catch rates, fishers try to capitalize on spillover by increasingly fishing along reserve boundaries, a behavior known as fishing th

In 2018, the International Organization for Migration stated that ‘migration has nearly become synonymous with urbanization, given the dominance of the city as the destination of most migrants’.

Background. Over five billion people worldwide lack access to safe and affordable surgery and anesthesia care when required.

We characterize the model spaces K in which functions with smooth boundary extensions are dense. It is shown that such approximations are possible if and only if the singular measure associated to the singular inner factor of is concentrated on a countable union of Beurling Carleson sets. In fact, we use a duality argument to show that if there exists a restriction of the associated singular measu
