description: Panel data subject to heterogeneity in both cross-sectional and time-serial directions are commonly encountered across social and scientific fields. To address this problem, we propose a class of time-varying panel data models with individual-specific regression coefficients and interactive common factors. This results in a model capable of describing heterogeneous panel data in terms of time-varyingness in the time-serial direction and individual-specific coefficients among crosssections. Another striking generality of this proposed model relies on its compatibility with endogeneity in the sense of interactive common factors. Model estimation is achieved through a novel duple least-squares (DLS) iteration algorithm, which implements two least-squares estimation recursively. Its unified ability in estimation is nicely illustrated according to flexible applications on various cases with exogenous or endogenous common factors. Established asymptotic theory for DLS estimators benefits practitioners by demonstrating effectiveness of iteration in eliminating estimation bias gradually along with iterative steps. We further show that our model and estimation perform well on simulated data in various scenarios as well as an OECD healthcare expenditure dataset. The time-variation and heterogeneity among cross-sections are confirmed by our analysis.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.In order to design environmentally responsible fishing gear we need to address three problems: does this fishing gear provide optimal selectivity range (e.g. bycatch of undersized fish is minimum); does it disturb or destroy biotopes; and does it provide minimum bycatch of rare or unwanted species? To understand the interrelation between fish behaviour and the catching processes of pots we carried out a series of experiments in laboratory conditions. Based on ecological and physiological parameters we compared 14 freshwater species for maximum compliance and chose perch as a prototype species for cod. Tasks in the experimental study included determining the catchability of the pots in relation to: pot construction, ingress cone construction, soak time, and environmental conditions (presence of current, reef structures, etc.). Consideration of the catchability of rectangular and cylindrical pots relative to their construction showed no differences, provided they were positioned on sites where there is no overall direction of fish movement. The catchability of the rectangular pot was significantly higher when pots were positioned on sites with unidirectional fish movement. Studies of the catchability and retaining capacities of the pots in relation to ingress cone construction showed that this is more important in determining the retaining capacity of pots than their catchability.
A new method for removing Electrical Vestibular Stimulation induced artifacts from Electro-Encephalographic recordings

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: In this work, we present a new method for removing artifacts from scalp Electro-Encephalography (EEG) signals recorded during Electrical Vestibular Stimulation (EVS). Using EVS, we stimulate the vestibular nerves, which can affect different regions in the brain via the interconnection of the vestibular system with some regions in the brain. As a result, some of the brain functions can be altered during the EVS application. Throughout its long history, EVS has been found as an interesting research tool in physiology and neurology. Various applications of EVS have been implemented in the health-care industry and also in other industries such as entertainment. Although there have been many advances in the EVS applications, it still remains a challenging problem to understand how the EVS stimulus acts as an input to the brain and how the brain responds. In this study, we monitored and recorded the brain activities during the application of EVS, using EEG. The recorded EEG data during EVS application, contain the information that elicit the EVS induced responses. However, the distribution of the EVS current throughout the scalp generates an artifact on the EEG signals. To analyze the EEG and study the brain functions during EVS, we have to eliminate this artifact. We developed a method to remove this artifact by estimating the contribution of the EVS current in the EEG signals at each electrode. The proposed method is a hybrid method, which combines time series regression and wavelet decomposition methods to estimate the artifact and remove it. Wavelet transform was employed to project the recorded EEG signal into various frequency bands and then the regression method was used to estimate the EVS current distribution in each frequency band separately. We optimized the proposed method using simulated data. Then we assessed the performance of our method and compared it to the other well accepted artifact removal methods, using both simulated and real data. The results show that the proposed method has better performance compared to the others, in terms of achieving higher signal to artifact ratio and introducing less distortion to the original EEG signals.

description: Expanding blast waves are ubiquitous in many astronomical sources, such as supernovae remnants (SNRs), X-ray emitting binaries (XRBs) and gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). I consider here the dynamics of such an expanding blast wave, both in the adiabatic and the radiative regimes. As the blast wave collects material from the surrounding, it decelerates. A full description of the temporal evolution of the blast wave requires consideration of both the energy density and the pressure of the shocked material. The obtained equation is different than earlier works in which only the energy was considered. The solution converges to the familiar results in both the ultra-relativistic and the sub-relativistic (Newtonian) regimes.

description: Graphene is considered one of the most promising materials for future electronic. However, in its pristine form graphene is a gapless material, which imposes limitations to its use in some electronic applications. In order to solve this problem many approaches have been tried, such as, physical and chemical functionalizations. These processes compromise some of the desirable graphene properties. In this work, based on ab initio quantum molecular dynamics, we showed that a two-dimensional carbon allotrope, named biphenylene carbon (BPC) can be obtained from selective dehydrogenation of porous graphene. BPC presents a nonzero bandgap and well-delocalized frontier orbitals. Synthetic routes to BPC are also addressed.

description: 6. Eurybia franciscana caerulescens Druce, 1904, stat. rev.
(Fig. 68– 69 ♂)
 Mejor conocida como E. lamia Cramer, un sinónimo recientemente establecido por Callaghan y Lamas (2004). Aunque esta Eurybia es reconocida como una entidad separada de otras (Callaghan y Lamas 2004), nosotros creemos que es más acertado el tratamiento que da Stichel (1910) al considerarla como “ E. lamia caerulescens ” correspondiente a E. franciscana caerulescens. Druce (1904) en su descripción original, habla de un insecto de alas cafés con una mancha azul brillante ubicada desde la base hasta la mitad del AA y con ocelo discal azul rodeado de naranja, los dos puntos subcostales evidentes y una hilera de puntos café submarginales negruzcos. El AP es azul brillante, excepto en la costa y el borde marginal con una hilera de puntos submarginales brillantes desde el ápice al ángulo anal. Reverso alar café grisáceo con las manchas del anverso distintivas. Todos estos elementos alares son similares en E. molochina hyacinthina que son exhibidos sobre un fondo violeta brillante, en tanto en caerulescens son azul iridiscente notable. Druce (1904) relaciona esta subespecie con lycisca.
 Distribución (Mapa 4). Subespecie amazónica distribuida en el bosque húmedo tropical de regiones bajas y zonas de piedemonte sobre todo de Caquetá, Cauca y Putumayo, siendo local y más rara que E. molochina violacea. Esta registrada para la región amazónica por Andrade et al. (2015) y Salazar (2019); el bajo Caquetá y Apaporis (Pinzón 2009), el costado este de la Cordillera Oriental y Putumayo (= como E. dardus unxia G. y S.) por Andrade (2002) y Salazar (1995) y el oriente de Boyacá (Andrade et al. 2007).

 Esta especie fue considerada una raza de E. dardus por Stichel (1910) y propone un nuevo nombre: E. lamia fulgens. Callaghan y Lamas, (2004) lo consideran sinónimo de E. unxia. El AA es café oscuro con el ocelo discal azul violáceo rodeado de un halo naranja oscuro, los dos puntos blancos subcostales manifiestos, y con los elementos mediales y postmediales de manchas oscuras presentes. El AP con café en el ápice y margen costal excepto por una gran mancha azul púrpura iridiscente que ocupa más de la mitad del área y salpica una serie de 5-6 manchas oscuras ovales. Reverso alar café claro con los componentes habituales de manchas del anverso. La hembra tiene la apariencia de una dardus típica sin brillo pero con los dos puntos blancos subcostales diagnósticos.
 Incluimos esta especie en esta revisión debido a la alta probabilidad que habite Colombia. Se ha reportado para Centroamérica (Costa Rica, Panamá, Honduras, Guatemala y Nicaragua) y hay citas de D’Abrera (1994); Stichel (1910) y en especial Stichel (1924) como presente en la región pacífica. Otro indicio de su presencia en Colombia lo tenemos de Rubio y Jiménez (2015) quienes inventariaron fotográficamente las especies de Zapzurro (Capurganá, Chocó), región que limita con Panamá, con franca influencia de la fauna de mariposas de ese país. Rubio y Jiménez (2015) ilustran un ejemplar identificado como E. unxia, que no corresponde al verdadero morfotipo de dicha especie. Sin embargo, E. unxia no la hemos encontrado en las colecciones revisadas.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The detection range of a baited pot or trap depends on several, more or less interconnected factors. The concentration and rate of release at the bait of the chemical substance acting as an attractant will be determined by the properties of the bait and by the ambient current speed. A plume of attractant is formed by advection and turbulent diffusion in the area surrounding the pot, with a gradually diminishing mean concentration downstream but often with strong concentration fluctuations. Depending on the type of gear, the hydrodynamic conditions in the plume can be a boundary layer or free-stream conditions. Finally, the actual detection range will depend on the chemosensory detection and reaction thresholds of the target fish. A semi-quantitative analysis is made of the different stages in this transmission chain and of how the overall detection range varies in time. This is illustrated by modelling the odour plume for different cases.

description: We uploaded all the original data, including source code, vector graphics, and process files, to Figshare for our study on the analysis of biomarkers associated with protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum (PER) during cerebral ischemia (CI)/reperfusion injury. The study utilized the GSE163614 dataset from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) for the analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and screening of PER-associated DEGs. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis were used to determine the functions and pathways of PER-associated DEGs, and core genes were identified through protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis. The study also screened for genes with diagnostic value through external validation data sets and conducted single-sample gene-set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) for screening genes strongly associated with hypoxia and apoptosis. The study identified Adcy5, Camk2a, Plcb1, Ntrk2, and Dlg4 as possible key genes that induce apoptosis in the hypoxic environment during CI/reperfusion injury. These genes were greatly down-regulated in MCAO models and strongly bound up with hypoxia and apoptosis.

description: Gravitational waves coming from Super Massive Black Hole Binaries (SMBHBs) are targeted by both Pulsar Timing Array (PTA) and Space Laser Interferometry (SLI). The possibility of a single SMBHB being tracked first by PTA, through inspiral, and later by SLI, up to merger and ring down, has been previously suggested. Although the bounding parameters are drawn by the current PTA or the upcoming Square Kilometer Array (SKA), and by the New Gravitational Observatory (NGO), derived from the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), this paper also addresses sequential detection beyond specific project constraints. We consider PTA-SKA, which is sensitive from 10^(-9) to p x 10^(-7) Hz (p=4, 8), and SLI, which operates from s x 10^(-5) up to 1 Hz (s = 1, 3). A SMBHB in the range 2x 10^(8) - 2 x 10^(9) solar masses (the masses are normalised to a (1+z) factor, the red shift lying between z = 0.2 and z=1.5) moves from the PTA-SKA to the SLI band over a period ranging from two months to fifty years. By combining three Super Massive Black Hole (SMBH)-host relations with three accretion prescriptions, nine astrophysical scenarios are formed. They are then related to three levels of pulsar timing residuals (50, 5, 1 ns), generating twenty-seven cases. For residuals of 1 ns, sequential detection probability will never be better than 4.7 x 10^(-4) y^(-2) or 3.3 x 10^(-6) y^(-2) (per year to merger and per year of survey), according to the best and worst astrophysical scenarios, respectively; put differently this means one sequential detection every 46 or 550 years for an equivalent maximum time to merger and duration of the survey. The chances of sequential detection are further reduced by increasing values of the s parameter (they vanish for s = 10) and of the SLI noise, and by decreasing values of the remnant spin.

Statistical-Mechanical Measure of Stochastic Spiking Coherence in A Population of Inhibitory Subthreshold Neurons

description: By varying the noise intensity, we study stochastic spiking coherence (i.e., collective coherence between noise-induced neural spikings) in an inhibitory population of subthreshold neurons (which cannot fire spontaneously without noise). This stochastic spiking coherence may be well visualized in the raster plot of neural spikes. For a coherent case, partially-occupied "stripes" (composed of spikes and indicating collective coherence) are formed in the raster plot. This partial occupation occurs due to "stochastic spike skipping" which is well shown in the multi-peaked interspike interval histogram. The main purpose of our work is to quantitatively measure the degree of stochastic spiking coherence seen in the raster plot. We introduce a new spike-based coherence measure $M_s$ by considering the occupation pattern and the pacing pattern of spikes in the stripes. In particular, the pacing degree between spikes is determined in a statistical-mechanical way by quantifying the average contribution of (microscopic) individual spikes to the (macroscopic) ensemble-averaged global potential. This "statistical-mechanical" measure $M_s$ is in contrast to the conventional measures such as the "thermodynamic" order parameter (which concerns the time-averaged fluctuations of the macroscopic global potential), the "microscopic" correlation-based measure (based on the cross-correlation between the microscopic individual potentials), and the measures of precise spike timing (based on the peri-stimulus time histogram). In terms of $M_s$, we quantitatively characterize the stochastic spiking coherence, and find that $M_s$ reflects the degree of collective spiking coherence seen in the raster plot very well. Hence, the "statistical-mechanical" spike-based measure $M_s$ may be used usefully to quantify the degree of stochastic spiking coherence in a statistical-mechanical way.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Cod were trained to associate a 250-Hz sound with food by classical conditioning in the presence or absence of trained fish. Adult cod adapted to sea cages were placed in the experimental cage located 80 m from the shore. There were two feeding trays, placed on opposite sides of the cage, each equipped with a transducer, video camera, and a feeding pipe through which small pieces of herring could be delivered from shore. There were six training sessions per day. In the first experiment, 20 naïve fish were trained on their own. On the third day, the fish started to eat the feed and learned to search for feed on the feeding trays. At the end of the sixth day, there was an indication of an acoustic training and on the ninth day, the fish reacted consistently to the feeding sound. In the second experiment, 10 naïve cod immediately started to follow a group of 9 experienced cod to the feeding trays. In the third experiment, 19 naïve cod and 1 teacher were released into the cage. In the first session, the teacher reacted correctly to the sound signal. After 13 minutes, the first student was seen following the teacher and by the end of the day, there were several students following the teacher. After two days of training, the teacher was removed to see if the students had acquired the acoustic training. Already in the first acoustic session on their own the students reacted correctly to the sound signal.
Renormalization Group Transformations Near the Critical Point: Some Rigorous Results

description: We consider renormalization group (RG) transformations for classical Ising-type lattice spin systems in the infinite volume limit. Formally, the RG maps a Hamiltonian H into a renormalized Hamiltonian H': exp(-H'(σ'))=\sum_σT(σ, σ')exp(-H(σ)), where T(σ, σ') denotes a specific RG probability kernel, \sum_σ' T(σ, σ')=1, for every configuration σ. With the help of the Dobrushin uniqueness condition and standard results on the polymer expansion, Haller and Kennedy gave a sufficient condition for the existence of the renormalized Hamiltonian in a neighborhood of the critical point. By a more complicated but reasonably straightforward application of the cluster expansion machinery, the present investigation shows that their condition would further imply a band structure on the matrix of partial derivatives of the renormalized interaction with respect to the original interaction. This in turn gives an upper bound for the RG linearization.

description: Information field dynamics (IFD) is introduced here as a framework to derive numerical schemes for the simulation of physical and other fields without assuming a particular sub-grid structure as many schemes do. IFD constructs an ensemble of non-parametric sub-grid field configurations from the combination of the data in computer memory, representing constraints on possible field configurations, and prior assumptions on the sub-grid field statistics. Each of these field configurations can formally be evolved to a later moment since any differential operator of the dynamics can act on fields living in continuous space. However, these virtually evolved fields need again a representation by data in computer memory. The maximum entropy principle of information theory guides the construction of updated datasets via entropic matching, optimally representing these field configurations at the later time. The field dynamics thereby become represented by a finite set of evolution equations for the data that can be solved numerically. The sub-grid dynamics is treated within an auxiliary analytic consideration and the resulting scheme acts solely on the data space. It should provide a more accurate description of the physical field dynamics than simulation schemes constructed ad-hoc, due to the more rigorous accounting of sub-grid physics and the space discretization process. Assimilation of measurement data into an IFD simulation is conceptually straightforward since measurement and simulation data can just be merged. The IFD approach is illustrated using the example of a coarsely discretized representation of a thermally excited classical Klein-Gordon field. This should pave the way towards the construction of schemes for more complex systems like turbulent hydrodynamics.

description: We study random number expansion protocols based on the $n \to 1$ quantum random access codes (QRACs). We consider them in the semi-device independent scenario where the inner workings of the devices are unknown to us but we can certify the dimensions of the systems being communicated. This approach does not require the use of the entanglement and makes the physical realization of these protocols much easier than in the standard device independent scenario. In our work, we propose a protocol for randomness expansion, compute min-entropy for the semi-device independent protocol, and investigate $n\to 1$ QRACs with a view to their use in randomness expansion protocols. We also calculate the dependence of the effectiveness of the randomness generation on $n$ and find it optimal for $n=3$, and provide the explanation for this fact.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.A worldwide interest in investigating and improving the capture of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) using fish pots currently exists. This interest is fuelled by the potential for cod pots to be an environmentally responsible alternative gear because of their species selectivity, low energy, and low impact. To further development of pots, paired comparisons of two different designs were conducted over an eight-month period in Massachusetts Bay, USA. Newfoundland-style, large, large-mesh static pots were compared with Norwegian-style smaller, small-mesh, off-bottom, dynamic pots in a controlled study from a commercial fishing vessel from November 2008 to November 2009. Results from analysis indicate that cod were most vulnerable to pots during a limited season, and that the smaller mesh pot caught more small cod. Otherwise, the pots performed similarly. We conclude that either pot style may be effective for further development, that seasonality plays an important role and should be exploited for further testing, and observation of nearfield behaviour in cod near pots is still vital and problematic.
When does it matter that God is watching? : differential effects of large and small gods on cheating as a function of material insecurity in Yasawa, Fiji
Creators: name: McNamara, Rita Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Previous work on religion’s potential to suppress behaviours that threaten sustained cooperation is extended to villagers in Yasawa, Fiji. Yasawans’ co-existing Christian (Bible God) and local, deified ancestor spirit (Kalou-vu) beliefs provide comparisons of different kinds of deities’ impact on prosocial behaviour in a small-scale society. If religion promotes prosociality through the threat of supernatural punishment (the ‘supernatural monitor’) in this context, then villagers should cheat less when they believe a deity is more punitive and more when they think the deity is more forgiving. Prosociality was measured in this study using a die rolling game to assess covert cheating in favour of self or in-group vs. out-group. Perceptions of the Bible God and Kalou-vu are as forgiving or punitive significantly predicted cheating as a function of material insecurity. Specifically, perceptions of a punishing Bible God predicted fewer coins to the self or in-group (thus less cheating) when material insecurity was low or at average levels, but more coins (more cheating) when material insecurity was high. Punishing Kalou-vu showed a similar effect that was showed more statistically significant relationships with probable cheating. These effects are more strongly driven by expected food insecurity for years (long-term) to come than by expected insecurity in the coming months (short-term). Additional analysis using perceptions of national secular authority as represented by police showed that a more punishing view of police predicted more cheating, though this effect dropped out of significance when police negativity was considered in separate analyses. This suggests that, unlike urban contexts, secular authority may have little psychological impact on sustaining cooperation in this relatively isolated social context. Further, the results of this study suggest the impact of perceptions about supernatural agents may depend upon both the kind of deity involved and the individual’s sense of resource availability. Implications for the evolution of religion and its place in the evolution of large-scale societies are discussed.

description: Neutron spectroscopy measurements reveal dynamic spin correlations throughout the Brillouin zone in the colossal magnetoresistive material La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 at 265 K (approximately 1.03 Tc). The long-wavelength behavior is consistent with spin diffusion, yet an additional and unexpected component of the scattering is also observed in low-energy constant-E measurements, which takes the form of ridges of strong quasielastic scattering running along (H 0 0) and equivalent directions. Well-defined Q-space correlations are observed in constant-E scans at energies up to at least 28 meV, suggesting robust short-range spin correlations in the paramagnetic phase.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.A project to develop fish pots with increased catch efficiency for traditional fish species has been carried out in the Faroe Islands since late 2005. The project has generated a substantial amount of underwater video observation of fish behaviour around fish pots, especially of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) and haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus). On several occasions fish (cod) has been observed to be attracted to (sudden) movement of other fish. It is not clear whether this is a result of purely visual stimuli or whether sounds and mechanoreceptor stimuli are also involved. To investigate this further electronic vibrating devices have been developed. The initial experiments with these devices have yielded ambiguous results. Further behavioural studies of fish around fish pots will be conducted to clarify whether additional stimulation to bait can be found to attract and direct fish to readily enter fish pots and thereby increase catching efficiency.

description: The diagnosis of dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT) depends on the clinician's ability to document intellectual impairment in the patient and to exclude other causes of dementia. About 50% of all demented patients entering a hospital are ultimately found at postmortem examination to have Alzheimer's disease. However, using the most rigorous criteria the accuracy of correct clinical diagnosis at autopsy approaches only 80-90% and this excludes some unusual patients. Most investigators use the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder-third ed. (DSM-III) criteria for dementia, a rating of performance in activities of daily living, and an assessment of personality and intellectual function for diagnosis. Two clinical rating scales: the Blessed Dementia Rating Scale (parts 1 and 2) and the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale, are used frequently and seem to identify patients with DAT with greater accuracy than other scales.

Cavity approach to variational quantum mechanics

description: A local and distributive algorithm is proposed to find an optimal trial wave-function minimizing the Hamiltonian expectation in a quantum system. To this end, the quantum state of the system is connected to the Gibbs state of a classical system with the set of couplings playing the role of variational parameters. The average energy is written within the replica-symmetric approximation and the optimal parameters are obtained by a heuristic message passing algorithm based on the Bethe approximation. The performance of this approximate algorithm depends on the structure and quality of the trial wave-functions; starting from a classical system of isolated elements, i.e. mean-field approximation, and improving on that by considering the higher order many-body interactions. The method is applied to some disordered quantum Ising models in transverse fields and the results are compared with the exact ones for small systems.

description: Familial Alzheimer's disease (AD [MIM 104300]) has been a focus of intense investigation, primarily in Caucasian families from Europe and North America families. Although the late-onset form of familial AD, beginning after age 65 years, has been linked to regions on chromosomes 10q and 12p, the specific genetic variants have not yet been consistently identified. Using a unique cohort of families of Caribbean Hispanics ancestry, we screened the genome using 340 markers on 490 family members from 96 families with predominantly late-onset AD. We observed the strongest support for linkage on 18q (LOD=3.14). However, 17 additional markers (chromosomes 1-6, 8, 10, 12, and 14) exceeded a two-point LOD score of 1.0 under the affecteds-only autosomal dominant model or affected sibpair model. As we previously reported the fine-mapping effort on 12p showing modest evidence of linkage, we focused our fine-mapping efforts on two other candidate regions in the current report, namely 10q and 18q. We added 31 family members and eight additional Caribbean Hispanic families to fine map 10q and 18q. With additional microsatellite markers, the evidence for linkage for 18q strengthened near 112 cM, where the two-point LOD score for D18S541 was 3.37 and the highest NPL score in that region was 3.65 (P=0.000177). This narrow region contains a small number of genes expressed in the brain. However, at 10q (134-138 cM), the NPL score decreased from 3.15 (P=0.000486) to 2.1 (P=0.0218), but two broad peaks remained overlapping with previously reported peaks. Our results provide modest support for linkage on 10q and 12p in this cohort of Caribbean Hispanic families with familial Alzheimer's disease, and strong evidence for a new locus on 18q
Holographic RG flows and transport coefficients in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet-Maxwell theory

description: We apply the membrane paradigm and the holographic Wilsonian approach to the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet-Maxwell theory. The transport coefficients for a quark-gluon plasma living on the cutoff surface are derived in a spacetime of charged black brane. Because of the mixing of the Gauss-Bonnet coupling and the Maxwell fields, the vector modes/shear modes of the metric and Maxwell fluctuations turn out to be very difficult to decouple. We firstly evaluate the AC conductivity at a finite cutoff surface by solving the equation of motion numerically, then manage to derive the radial flow of DC conductivity with the use of the Kubo formula. It turns out that our analytical results match the numerical data in low frequency limit very well. The diffusion constant $D(u_c)$ is also derived in a long wavelength expansion limit. We find it depends on the Gauss-Bonnet coupling as well as the position of the cutoff surface.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.We present a framework for determining carrying capacity (CC) through mass-balance ecosystem modelling and stakeholder involvement that can be used to guide management of bivalve aquaculture. Two Ecopath models were constructed for Narragansett Bay (NB) and coastal ponds (CP), Rhode Island, USA, where aquaculture has doubled in six years and user conflict is high. Stakeholders informed the modelling process at four critical steps: conceptualization of models, evaluation of data sources for parameterization, mass-balancing of the model, and calculation of carrying capacity. Cultured oysters were not a significant part of NB or CP, despite rapid increase in the industry. Cultured oyster biomass in NB is currently at 0.5 Mt km–2 and could be increased 625 times without exceeding the ecological CC of 297 Mt km–2. Production CC was calculated to be 3481 Mt km–2, which could exist over only 9% of NB surface area without exceeding the ecological CC. Cultured oyster biomass in CP is currently at 12 Mt km–2 and could increase 62 times this value without exceeding the ecological CC of 722 MT km–2. Production CC was calculated to be 1561 Mt km–2. CP could support this high level of biomass production across 46% of its surface area before exceeding the ecological CC. Harvest was 40% of biomass. Both CP and NB were more productive and had higher CC than oligotrophic and heavily cultured New Zealand bays. Involving the stakeholders in the modelling process increased understanding and acceptance of the science, making the results more likely to be incorporated into future management and policy formulation.
