description: We have measured the persistent current in individual normal metal rings over a wide range of magnetic fields. From this data, we extract the first six cumulants of the single-ring persistent current distribution. Our results are consistent with the theoretical prediction that this distribution should be nearly Gaussian (i.e., that these cumulants should be nearly zero) for diffusive metallic rings. This measurement highlights the particular sensitivity of persistent current to the mesoscopic fluctuations within a single coherent volume.

description: While the impurity-induced nanoscale electronic disorder has been extensively reported in the underdoped iron pnictides, its microscopic origins remain elusive. Recent scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) measurements reveal a dimer-type resonant structure induced by cobalt doping. These dimers are randomly distributed but uniformly aligned with the antiferromagnetic a axis. A theory of the impurity-induced quasiparticle interference patterns is presented that shows the local density of states developing an oscillatory pattern characterized by both geometry and orbital content of the {\em reconstructed} Fermi pockets, occasioned by the pocket density-wave (PoDW) order along the b axis. This pattern breaks the $C_4$ symmetry and its size and orientation compare well with the dimer resonances found in the STM experiments, hinting at the presence of a "hidden" PoDW order. More broadly, our theory spotlights such nanoscale structures as a useful diagnostic tool for various forms of order in iron pnictides.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The imposition of the burden of proof occurs in Western legal systems to guard against unfairness in the enforcement of the law. Therefore, criminal law imposes the burden of proving an allegation on the prosecutor while under civil law the burden of proof may shift from the claimant to the defendant, as in a discrimination case or environmental pollution case. Where damage has been caused to the environment, strict liability or a rebuttable presumption of liability may be imposed on the polluter as a result of legislation. A presumption of liability for ecosystem degradation could be imposed individually or collectively on those fishing an area where fish stocks are reduced below sustainable levels. Management of the seas and oceans is according to a precautionary approach which ought to apply the precautionary principle to exclude the risk of over-fishing but does not. This poses the problems of how to devise a legal obligation to deliver sustainability, how the level of extraction is to be determined and who should bear the responsibility for the degradation of seas as a result of fishing activity. This paper proposes the legally-binding objective of maximum sustainable yield and the determination of a liability regime informed by the strict liability and collective responsibility models of the Conventions concerning vessel-source oil pollution incidents.

description: The purpose of this paper is to argue against a proposal to adopt formal linguistic theory to the psychological problem children face in acquiring the semantic domains of tense and aspect. As semantic rather than syntactic categories, tense and aspect vary between languages. Without universal statements about meaning, we have no reason to substitute a linguistic analysis for psychological theory. The only real alternative, then, is to attempt to characterize the child language data in terms of categories derived from a child's language behavior, and to search in the contextual events which relate to the child's utterance for cues to the acquisition of motivating categories and distinctions.

Effect of perpetrator and victim ethnicity in perception of sexual assault : is it stereotyping?
Creators: name: Chang, Sabrina Chia-Hsuan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Previous research examining the role of ethnicity in rape perception has primarily found that African-American perpetrators and victims are perceived more negatively than their Euro-Caucasian equivalents. These ethnic effects have largely been attributed to the hypersexual stereotype of African-Americans. This study is the first to test the stereotyping mechanism by comparing the perception of Euro-Caucasian perpetrator and victim to those of a hypo-sexualized ethnic group, the Chinese. 787 undergraduate students read and evaluated a vignette depicting sexual assault where the ethnicity of the perpetrator and victim were manipulated to be either Chinese or Euro-Caucasian. Our results indicated that Chinese and Euro-Caucasian victims were not viewed differently. Chinese participants also did not judge the Chinese and Euro-Caucasian perpetrator dissimilarly. In contrast, Euro-Caucasian participants deemed the Chinese perpetrator as more guilty than the Euro-Caucasian perpetrator when both were depicted as committing the exact same sexual assault. This finding is in stark contrast to what the stereotyping mechanism predicted and is instead consistent with another phenomenon: in-group bias. It appears that unfair treatment in the context of sexual assault does not solely affect visible minorities that are hypersexually stereotyped and cannot be buffered by benign sexual stereotypes. Future research in sexual assault perception should be encouraged by this study to explore outside of the stereotyping explanatory model for additional causes of ethnic effects on rape perception.

description: In a recent publication [B. Schuette, S. Bauch et al., accepted for publication in Phys. Rev. Lett. 2012] it was demonstrated both, experimentally and theoretically, that Auger electrons are subject to an energetic chirp if a three-body-interaction dubbed post-collision interaction (PCI) is involved. Here, we extend previous theoretical work and give a detailed analysis of field-assisted PCI based on numerical solutions of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation, extensive Monte-Carlo averaged molecular dynamics simulations and analytical theory. The dependence on various streaking and excitation conditions is investigated, and we discuss, how these findings may help to improve XUV pulse characterization as well as understanding of ultrafast atomic processes.

description: Deformation of single stranded DNA in translocation process before reaching the pore is investigated. By solving the Laplace equation in a suitable coordinate system and with appropriate boundary conditions, an approximate solution for the electric field inside and outside of a narrow pore is obtained. With an analysis based on "electrohydrodynamic equivalence" we determine the possibility of extension of a charged polymer due to the presence of an electric field gradient in the vicinity of the pore entrance. With a multi-scale hybrid simulation (LB-MD), it is shown that an effective deformation before reaching the pore occurs which facilitates the process of finding the entrance for the end monomers. We also highlight the role of long range hydrodynamic interactions via comparison of the LB-MD results with those obtained using a Langevin thermostat instead of the LB solver.

Progress in Lattice in the B and D system

Year: 2019

description: This talk gives a survey of lattice-QCD calculations relevant for B and D mesons. The material chosen focuses on results new since FLAG 2016 and CKM 2016, and those not covered in the parallel sessions. The topics are determinations of CKM matrix elements from electroweak tree-level decays, tests of CKM unitarity from loop-level decays, and quark masses. In particular, we know have three completely separate methods for determining the charm- and bottom- quark masses, with different systematic, all in excellent agreement. Combined with very precise quark-mass ratios, this information can be leverage to determine all quark masses except top. The consistency of recent results (included c and b results from continuum analyses) indicates that the PDG estimates should be revised.

Whites--Race identity
Academic librarians

description: This chapter considers a less-often mentioned aspect of whiteness in libraries and librarianship. It examines the ways in which the physical space of the library may inscribe, overdetermine, and perpetuate the library as a white space. I look at the library not only as a place where people work, study, and gather, but as a distinct(ive) part of the university, one which preserves, reproduces, and transmits certain values and regimes of knowledge. I also try to foreground the ways in which a library may be designed to foreclose certain uses, or certain groups, from asserting their agency, or even being. Reflecting on this dimension of the library will show that even if we were to remedy our longstanding diversity and whiteness problems in terms of personnel or staff, we would still find ourselves in spaces of whiteness and spaces that reproduce whiteness. I then suggest some pedagogical implications of these observations about space, and suggest that library classrooms, along with reference and consultation spaces, are the most important sites of resistance to entrenched structures of oppression in the library.

Proximity fingerprint of s+- superconductivity

description: We suggest a straightforward and unambiguous test to identify possible opposite signs of superconducting order parameter in different bands proposed for iron-based superconductors (s+- state). We consider proximity effect in a weakly coupled sandwich composed of a s+- superconductor and thin layer of s-wave superconductor. In such system the s-wave order parameter is coupled differently with different s+- gaps and it typically aligns with one of these gaps. This forces the other s+- gap to be anti-aligned with the s-wave gap. In such situation the aligned band induces a peak in the s-wave density of states (DoS), while the anti-aligned band induces a dip. Observation of such contact-induced negative feature in the s-wave DoS would provide a definite proof for s+- superconductivity.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.In response to rising costs and increased regulatory intervention, industry-based programs for bycatch reduction, resource surveys and fisheries monitoring have been promoted by fishermen, scientists and fisheries managers. Bycatch of yellowtail flounder in the US sea scallop fishery is a constraint to achieving optimum yield of scallops. Since 1999, the rotational area scallop fisheries on Georges Bank have been subject to total allowable catches for yellowtail flounder bycatch. Bycatch of yellowtail flounder has often forced early closures of these scallop fisheries, resulting in economic losses of over US $100 million. To address this constraint, we collaborated with the scallop fishing industry to implement a bycatch avoidance program. We designed a system to collect information on incidental catch that expands the use of existing Vessel Monitoring System technology and relies upon the active fishing fleet to provide data. Vessels supplied real-time communications about incidental bycatch rates during fishing activities. In turn, we compiled the information for the fleet and sent it back to active fishing vessels. While providing spatially- and temporally-specific data on catch rates of non- target species, the fishing fleet gained valuable information about distribution of yellowtail flounder in order to avoid bycatch “hotspots”. The system was designed as an inexpensive method to employ traditional fisheries dependent data and create individual based incentive for bycatch avoidance to benefit the entire fishery. The system provided accurate advice to the fishing fleet for bycatch avoidance and was an economic and conservation success. The scallop fleet harvested the target scallop allocation worth US $ 40 million while only catching 29% of the yellowtail bycatch allocation. This case study demonstrates an example of results based management through a small scale incentive-based approach to achieve maximum yield of scallops by confronting bycatch restrictions.
A Note on the Terminology of Pottery Making Sites
Creators: name: Moorhouse, Stephen A
Publisher: name: Archaeology Data Service
Year: 2023

description: Medieval Ceramics: Journal of the Medieval Ceramics Research Group, 11, 25-30
description: When pottery manufacturing sites are referred to in the archaeological literature, they are, quite naturally, described as 'kiln sites'. This term is not only misleading, but it will be argued below that it has conditioned our attitude to the way in which we view such sites, and hence how we excavate them. The kiln and its associated waste debris is the most obvious evidence for a pottery making site once it has been disturbed. A settlement composed of timber-built structures, however, would never be described as a 'post-hole site'. It is suggested that in future when the whole complex is being referred to, the term 'production centre', 'pottery making site' or terms of similar meaning should be used, and when referring to the products associated with a kiln, the terms 'tenement' or 'workshop' (in the sense of a group of potters working together and producing a similar product) should be adopted.

description: In Fontainebleau sandstone, the evolution of transport properties with porosity is related to changes in both the size and connectivity of the pore space. Microcomputed tomography can be used to characterize the relevant geometric attributes, with the resolution that is sufficiently refined for realistic simulation of transport properties based on the 3D image. In this study, we adopted a hybrid computation scheme that is based on a hierarchical multi-scale approach. The specimen was partitioned into cubic sub-volumes for pore-scale simulation of hydraulic permeability and formation factor using the lattice Boltzmann method. The pore-scale results were then linked with finite element simulation in a homogenized scheme to compute and upscale the transport properties to specimen scale. The simulated permeability and formation factor have magnitude and anisotropy that are in good agreement with experimental rock physics data. Together with simulated and measured values of connected porosity and specific surface area, they provide useful insights into how pore geometry controls the evolution of the transport properties.

B-meson Semi-inclusive Decay to $2^{-+}$ Charmonium in NRQCD and X(3872)

description: The semi-inclusive B-meson decay into spin-singlet D-wave $2^{-+}$ charmonium, $B\to η_{c2}+X$, is studied in nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD). Both color-singlet and color-octet contributions are calculated at next-to-leading order (NLO) in the strong coupling constant $α_s$. The non-perturbative long-distance matrix elements are evaluated using operator evolution equations. It is found that the color-singlet $^1D_2$ contribution is tiny, while the color-octet channels make dominant contributions. The estimated branching ratio $B(B\to η_{c2}+X)$ is about $0.41\,\times10^{-4}$ in the Naive Dimensional Regularization (NDR) scheme and $1.24\,\times10^{-4}$ in the t'Hooft-Veltman (HV) scheme, with renormalization scale $μ=m_b=4.8$\,GeV. The scheme-sensitivity of these numerical results is due to cancelation between ${}^1S_0^{[8]}$ and ${}^1P_1^{[8]}$ contributions. The $μ$-dependence curves of NLO branching ratios in both schemes are also shown, with $μ$ varying from $\frac{m_b}{2}$ to $2m_b$ and the NRQCD factorization or renormalization scale $μ_Λ$ taken to be $2m_c$. Comparison of the estimated branching ratio of $B\to η_{c2}+X$ with the observed branching ratio of $B \to X(3872)+K$ may lead to the conclusion that X(3872) is unlikely to be the $2^{-+}$ charmonium state $η_{c2}$.

description: States have begun to incorporate careers pathway programs into their workforce and professional development systems in order to strengthen and support the early childhood workforce. A career pathways approach offers career advancement through a progression of educational qualifications, training, and credentials that build on each other and are aligned with the needs of the industry. Additionally, the career pathways approach includes multiple entry and exit points to allow workforce members greater flexibility in acquiring skills and knowledge. While the terms career ladders, career lattices, and career pathways are often used interchangeably in the early care and education field, the Department of Labor's Career Pathways Toolkit differentiates between career ladders or lattices and career pathways defining career ladders or lattices as "a group of related jobs that may comprise a career. They often include a pictorial representation of job progression in a career as well as detailed descriptions of the jobs and the education and experiences that facilitate movement between jobs" (p. 135). Career pathways, in contrast, are more comprehensive and defined as "a combination of rigorous and high-quality education, training and other services..." (such as counseling and support services) that are aligned to support movement along a career ladder or lattice. Career pathways are specifically designed to meet the needs of diverse learners and non-traditional students. This research-to-policy resource list compiles publications from 2008 to the present on early childhood career pathways and career ladders or lattices. Resources are grouped under the following headings: 1) State workforce surveys, 2) Descriptions and considerations for developing early childhood career pathways, 3) State and city efforts to develop early childhood career pathways and career ladders or lattices, 4) Evaluations of early childhood career ladders or lattices.
A colonial haunting : prostitution and the politics of sex trafficking in British India, 1917-1939
Creators: name: Chang, Sandy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Following the murder of a Bombay prostitute in 1917, the Government of India launched a series of investigations and commissions of inquiry in order to determine the scope of prostitution and extent of sex trafficking across British India. Between 1917 and 1939, these colonial projects produced a vast archive of ethnographic and statistical information about those women whose lives were intricately tied to brothels in the Indian subcontinent. In this paper, I examine the politics behind these projects of knowledge production and the colonial desire to make these women “known.” By situating this colonial history within the international climate of the interwar period – a time when the legitimacy of the British Empire was increasingly challenged by Indian nationalists and subject to scrutiny by the League of Nations – this study argues that colonial administrators appropriated the highly publicized death of an Indian prostitute to elicit emotions of shock and pity and in turn, preserve the ideological legitimacy of “enlightened” British rule by fashioning themselves as “modernizers of indigenous patriarchy” in India. The death of the prostitute, much like the controversy around sati and child marriage in the nineteenth century, became a metonym for the social ills of India which justified colonial intervention as a form of benevolent paternalism. However, these knowledge production projects rarely materialized into tangible social reforms for the women at question. They were, instead, a public relations exercise meant to bolster the international image of British rule India and create an illusion of the success of the colonial technologies of surveillance. Sustaining commonsense assumptions about colonial prostitutes required an ongoing effort to produce statistics, social “facts,” and tropes about them. By scrutinizing these colonial reports and the context of their production, this study attempts to illuminate both the illogical and unpredictable nature of state commissions of inquiry and the ulterior motives of imperial legitimacy behind seemingly benevolent colonial social reforms for Indian women.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Currently many multi-year management plans are being developed either for rebuilding depleted stocks or for avoiding difficult negotiations when management decisions must be revisited on a regular basis. Management plans are commonly evaluated by intensive model simulations that describe the ecological and economic dynamics, and the management loop. Under the resultsbased management paradigm, the fishing industry or particular fishing sectors will develop their own management plans, potentially leading to a huge number of plans to be evaluated. Guidelines for evaluating the plans on a qualitative level before launching quantitative evaluations will be essential. Here we propose a framework for evaluating management strategies in a qualitative way. A strategy is defined by i) an objective ii) a coordinated plan of actions to reach this objective. We evaluate i) under which assumptions the stated management objective is sustainable and ii) whether the proposed plan of actions can reach the objective, against theoretical criteria derived from general fishery models, and practical rules determining success of management plans from empirical review papers. We demonstrate this framework by analysing a series of management plans recently implemented in the EU.

description: Advancements in volume manufacturing have significantly boosted the potential of photonic integrated circuits (PICs), positioning them to replace bulk optics across numerous applications. Among the fields experiencing the greatest benefits from this progress is nonlinear photonics, which enables the highly confined manipulation of light within on-chip dimensions. This development paves the way for a diverse array of applications, including frequency combs, LiDARs, sensing and biomedical technologies, photonic computing, and RF photonics. The inherent advantages of PICs, such as their compact size and stable performance facilitated by integration, make them particularly appealing for these applications.Among the different materials, lithium niobate (LN) has attracted considerable attention from researchers due to its outstanding properties. Creating nonlinear optical frequency converter devices using LN necessitates quasi-phase matching (QPM) achieved through periodic poling. Additionally, efficiently coupling nonlinearly generated light, such as fundamental and second harmonic spots, to an output fiber demands an optimized edge coupler. This thesis introduces an edge coupler design for x-cut thin-film LN specifically tailored to optimize the simultaneous coupling of spots at different wavelengths resulting from nonlinear processes.Nonlinear photonics finds applications in autonomous vehicles as well. Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) has emerged as a robust technique for swiftly detecting and classifying objects even in rapidly changing and low-visibility conditions. However, conventional LiDAR systems are often limited by the speed of their 2D scanning process across the entire scene. In this thesis, a ranging technique is proposed, leveraging dual frequency combs with slightly different repetition rates. This approach facilitates parallel ranging in one direction, reducing the scanning process to a single dimension and offering the promise of high-speed LiDAR systems.Beyond these applications, the rapid expansion of modern technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), has driven demand for highly sensitive, compact, and cost-effective optical sensors. PIC-based optical sensors offer advantages such as high sensitivity, broad dynamic range, cost efficiency, and high throughput. This thesis introduces a design for a linear and fully passive refractive index (RI) sensor on the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform. The sensor maintains a constant figure of merit (FOM) across the entire range of refractive index variations in the cover medium, addressing the limitations of conventional RI sensors, which exhibit nonlinear responses.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Despite its relatively small stock size and economic value, Western Baltic spring spawning herring (WBSS) is managed in a highly complex governance scheme, with demanding scientific challenges and an elaborate political process of resource allocation among fishing fleets. WBSS herring spawns in the western Baltic Sea, where it is exploited by several EU fishing fleets. It migrates into the Kattegat, Skagerrak and eastern North Sea areas, where it mixes with North Sea autumn spawning herring (NSAS), in an age and season- dependent pattern with high variability, and where it is exploited by both EU and non-EU fleets. For the two separate management areas, TACs are set at different times in the yearly TAC-setting process, and this can result in conflicts over quota allocations to individual fleets. Industry stakeholders of two Regional Advisory Councils – the Pelagic and Baltic Sea RACs – and scientists involved in the FP7 JAKFISH project engaged in collaboration, aiming to improve stock management through joint development of a robust Long-Term Management Plan. A common understanding of relevant scientific and political issues was developed and used to conduct Management Strategies Evaluations in an interactive process. In this paper we review the project’s achievements, and analyze the effectiveness of the collaborative process itself, and how it affected individual endeavours of the scientific and the stakeholder groups. Finally, we reflect upon the concept of Results-Based Management and how such science-stakeholder collaborations could play a role in a RBM system.

Für 2.638 stationäre Patienten wurde das Resistenzverhalten von Erregern aus verschiedenen anatomischen Kompartimenten verglichen. E. coli-Nachweise aus tiefen anatomischen Lokalisationen waren dabei im Mittel resistenter als solche, die aus oberflächlichen Kompartimenten isoliert wurden. Besondere patientenbedingte Risikofaktoren als Prädiktor für die Schwere der Infektion fanden sich nicht.

description: The axion emerges in extensions of the Standard Model that explain the absence of CP violation in the strong interactions. Simultaneously, it can provide naturally the cold dark matter in our universe. Several searches for axions and axion-like particles (ALPs) have constrained the corresponding parameter space over the last decades but no unambiguous hints of their existence have been found. The axion mass range below 1 meV remains highly attractive and a well motivated region for dark matter axions. In this White Paper we present a description of a new experiment based on the concept of a dielectric haloscope for the direct search of dark matter axions in the mass range of 40 to 400 $\mu$eV. This MAgnetized Disk and Mirror Axion eXperiment (MADMAX) will consist of several parallel dielectric disks, which are placed in a strong magnetic field and with adjustable separations. This setting is expected to allow for an observable emission of axion induced electromagnetic waves at a frequency between 10 to 100 GHz corresponding to the axion mass.

description: We report measurements of Hc2(T) up to 85 Tesla on Ba1-xKxAs2Fe2 single crystals and FeSe1-xTex films tuned by doping and strain. We observed an Hc2 enhancement by nearly 25 T at 30 K for the optimally-doped Ba1-xKxAs2Fe2 as compared to the previous results and extraordinarily high slopes dHc2/dT = 250-500 T/K near Tc in FeSe1-xTex indicating an almost complete suppression of the orbital pair-breaking. Theoretical analysis of Hc2(T) in FeSe1-xTex and the optimally doped Ba1-xKxAs2Fe2 predicts an inhomogeneous Fulde-Ferrel-Larkin-Ovchinnikov state for H//ab and T < 3-10 K, and shows that Hc2 in multiband Fe based superconductor can be enhanced by doping and strain much more effectively than by the conventional way of increasing disorder.

description: We review the consequences of intrinsic, nonstatistical temperature fluctuations as seen in observables measured in high energy collisions. We do this from the point of view of nonextensive statistics and Tsallis distributions. Particular attention is paid to multiplicity fluctuations as a first consequence of temperature fluctuations, to the equivalence of temperature and volume fluctuations, to the generalized thermodynamic fluctuations relations allowing us to compare fluctuations observed in different parts of phase space, and to the problem of the relation between Tsallis entropy and Tsallis distributions. We also discuss the possible influence of conservation laws on these distributions and provide some examples of how one can get them without considering temperature fluctuations.

description: The resonant process of nuclear excitation by electron transition (NEET) in highly charged ions is investigated. In NEET, a bound electronic decay transition occurs with the simultaneous excitation of the nucleus, provided that the energies of the atomic and nuclear transition match. By varying the atomic charge state, the atomic transition energy can be tuned to a better match of the nuclear transition energy. We propose a new way to create the atomic hole in highly charged ions by dielectronic capture of a free electron. In order to derive the cross section for the three-step process composed by dielectronic capture, NEET, and the subsequent nuclear decay, a Feshbach projection operator formalism is developed. With the help of this formalism, the resonances in nuclei coupling to the atomic shell and the possible interference between several direct and resonant electronic and nuclear processes such as radiative recombination, dielectronic recombination and nuclear excitation by electron capture are described.

description: The Center for the Advancement of Public Integrity at Columbia Law School (CAPI) conducted a review of the campaign fundraising practices of Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance, Jr. at his request. Our review, as described in this report, encompassed research on relevant laws, regulations, and guidelines, as well as interviews with relevant stakeholders and subject matter experts, and culminates with recommended improvements to district attorney fundraising policies and procedures that are designed to address the problems of actual conflicts of interest, potential conflicts of interest that raise appearance issues, and unconscious bias, that may arise when campaign contributors also have business with a district attorney’s office.

While DA Vance requested this report, it also applies to the 61 other district attorneys in New York, and CAPI’s recommendations are designed to work broadly for those other offices as well.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.When reversing the burden of proof in fisheries, there is an interest among stakeholders to decrease the uncertainty in scientific estimates of fish stocks and thus obtain higher exploitation possibilities with same estimated risks. Especially poorly studied by-catch species have an increasing role when applying results based management and Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management. The amount of information available from a specific fish stock is often limited, and the resources to gather new data can be small. However, information can be available from other stocks of the same or closely related species. Utilising all available information is cost efficient and makes it possible to diminish the amount of uncertainty around the key parameters of interest. By using Bayesian computation and hierarchical modeling, different hierarchical levels are set for correlation to connect closely related and more distant stocks together. For example, two levels of hierarchy can describe the stocks within the same species, and stocks of other related species. Also genetic, geographical and environmental similarities could be considered as a measure of closeness. Database called Fishbase is used as a data source since it gathers a great amount of information from various species and it is easily accessible. With this approach, it is possible to use different databases and former studies for building informative priors for subsequent studies. This can result in less uncertain estimates and better ground for fisheries management. An example is given for learning from length-weight and length-fecundity relationships in order to update the understanding of fecundity. Key words: Bayesian hierarchical models, correlation, reducing uncertainty
