description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. Recent advances in habitat modelling allow us to assess climate change impacts on species distribution. We evaluate the impacts of future climate change in community structure, occurrence distribution, and phenology of 14 copepod species in the North Atlantic Ocean. To this end, historical observations from Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) and environmental data extracted from POLCOMS-ERSEM model have been used. Generalized Additive Models (GAMs) have been applied to relate the species occurrence with environmental variables (sea surface temperature and salinity, bathymetry, pH, O2, mixed layer depth, surface phytoplankton biomass). North Atlantic regime shift has been taken into account to perform a temporal cross-validation of the model. To this end, a subset of 4 Calanus spp. (C. finmarchicus, C. glacialis, C. helgolandicus, C. hyperboreus) between 1970 and 2004 have been used, comparing cold (1970-1986) with warm (1987-2004) regimes. Results have shown that model accuracy is relatively good (74-85%) for the models built in cold regime and extrapolated and validated in the warm period. Therefore, species models can be used to be projected in future climate simulations with relative confidence. On a second step, it is intended to extend the analysis by comparing GAMs with Maximum Entropy model and Mahalanobis distance algorithm
Competitiveness of the B.C. food and beverage industry in the Pacific Rim: an empirical analysis of the influencing factors
Creators: name: Cain, Laura Lea-Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Factors or characteristics which influence the export competitiveness of British Columbia's food and beverage processing industries in the Pacific Rim markets (i.e., Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China: Mainland, Singapore and South Korea) are studied using pooled time-series and cross-sectional data, for the years 1988 through 1992. Changes in exports and in export market share are explained by changes in systematic exogenous and endogenous differences amongst B.C. and competing provincial industries over the five year period. The results indicate that, converse to what is suggested in the literature, there is no statistical consistency in the explanatory capability of comparative cost, industrial organization, or firm strategy variables to explain competitiveness in Pacific Rim markets. Rather, it appears export success is due to many unique factors at the firm or provincial level. Hence, it is not possible to make generalizations about the competitiveness determinants of these industries in the Pacific Rim markets.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. Fishing and environmental conditions influence the size structure of fish populations and communities. Both fishing activity and environmental change are heterogeneous in space and time, but most studies have examined variation of community size structure in time or space separately and with limited data on drivers of change. To investigate spatio-temporal heterogeneity and the relative influence of different variables on several metrics related to the North Sea fish community size spectrum, we used Empirical Orthogonal Functions (EOFs). Input into the EOFs came from the International Bottom Trawl Survey, fishing effort and a hindcast model for environmental variables. After computing EOFs for each variable, we separated out areas of dominant change in the size-based indicators and cross-correlated these to fishing and environmental variables. Preliminary results suggest the central North Sea is a region of dominant change for community size structure. Further work aims to determine whether the relative influence of drivers varies in space and how these match to regions of dominant size-based change. Currently the large fish indicator is being proposed at the scale of the North Sea as a whole. Knowledge of spatially distinct drivers would inform the development of this proposed indicator under the Marine Strategy Framework Directive.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. In 2012, a vast stretch of the North Atlantic was more than 1°C warmer than normal. This “ocean heat wave” was the largest, most persistent sea surface temperature anomaly ever recorded in this region. The Gulf of Maine was at the apex of this event, with surface and subsurface temperature anomalies exceeding 3°C for much of the year. The conditions during this event were similar to the mean conditions expected by the end of the century. The response of fish and invertebrate populations to this event differed depending on their mobility. Warm-water fish and squid not normally found in the Gulf of Maine rapidly expanded northward. Less mobile species such as American lobsters exhibited a marked change in their phenology. Temperatures in the Gulf of Maine also reached levels that would be stressful to cod, challenging the recovery of this stock. The northwest Atlantic is currently warming faster than any other region in the global ocean. Experience in 2012 suggests that shorter-term events could be more important than changes in the mean.

description: The work is devoted to ways of modeling street traffic on a street layout without traffic lights of an established topology. The behavior of traffic participants takes into account the individual inclinations of drivers to creatively interpret traffic rules. Participant interactions describe game theory models that provide information for simulation algorithms based on cellular automata. Driver diversification comes down to two types often considered in such research: DE(fective)-agent and CO(operative)-agent. Various ways of using the description of traffic participants to examine the impact of behavior on street traffic dynamics were shown. Directions for the further detailed analysis were indicated, which requires basic research in the field of game theory models.

description: The present MLA dissertation examines the coastal archeological sites from the perspective of landscape architecture, in order to investigate their potentials, find ways to transform them in sustainable sites for recreation and education, aiming at the emergence of coastal archeological landscapes, which are recognized as comparative benefits of the Greek space. Coastal landscapes as well as archeological sites are being examined, in order to explore the particularities of the specific issue and specifically the crucial factors that affect the landscape analysis and management, proposing, additionally, a methodology of approach. Furthermore, a critical view of the contemporary status in Greece is being attempted, through examples. Then, taking into account the theoretical investigation and the proposed method of approach, the case of Poseidon Temple, an unexploited and inactive site in Possidi of Chalkidiki, is being studied. The study concludes at proposals that concern the connection of the archeological site with its broader landscape, the activation of memory and the readability of the archeological landscape as a whole. As a result, a compound eco-archeological park is designed, which simultaneously aims to the promotion and the protection of both the natural and cultural heritage in terms of sustainable development.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. We review the literature on early life dynamics of Barents Sea (BS, also known as Northeast Arctic or Arcto-Norwegian) cod (Figure 1). Focus is on the biotic and abiotic drivers that accumulated determine the strength of the new year class, including recruitment, i.e., the abundance of a cohort surviving to enter the fishery. Also Russian work is included, parts of which until now has not been available to non-Russian readers. Physical drivers examined include sea temperature, advection and dispersal, wind-induced turbulence and light. Biotic mechanisms studied range from maternal effects and skipped spawning of the adult stock through egg quantity and quality, to prey availability for the larvae and effects of cannibalism on the juveniles. Statistical analyses of time series on recruitment itself, not one specific early life stage, and various explanatory variables are also reviewed. Finally, we by stage summarize the properties and mechanisms we believe to impose significant interannual variability in survival of BS cod, ultimately affecting recruitment.
The chemistry of multiply deuterated molecules in protoplanetary disks. I. The outer disk
Creators: name: Willacy, K.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present new models of the deuterium chemistry in protoplanetary disks, including, for the first time, multiply deuterated species. We use these models to explore whether observations in combination with models can give us clues as to which desorption processes occur in disks. We find, in common with other authors, that photodesorption can allow strongly bound molecules such as HDO to exist in the gas phase in a layer above the midplane. Models including this process give the best agreement with the observations. In the midplane, cosmic ray heating can desorb weakly bound molecules such as CO and N$_2$. We find the observations suggest that N$_2$ is gaseous in this region, but that CO must be retained on the grains to account for the observed DCO$^+$/HCO$^+$. This could be achieved by CO having a higher binding energy than N$_2$ (as may be the case when these molecules are accreted onto water ice) or by a smaller cosmic ray desorption rate for CO than assumed here, as suggested by recent theoretical work. For gaseous molecules the calculated deuteration can be greatly changed by chemical processing in the disk from the input molecular cloud values. On the grains singly deuterated species tend to retain the D/H ratio set in the molecular cloud, whereas multiply deuterated species are more affected by the disk chemistry. Consequently the D/H ratios observed in comets may be partly set in the parent cloud and partly in the disk, depending on the molecule.

description: Recent experimental success in the realization of two-dimensional (2D) magnetism has stimulated the search for new magnetic 2D materials with strong magnetic anisotropy and high Curie temperature. One promising subgroup of 2D magnetic systems are Dirac half-metals (DHM) which have gained a lot of interest recently, as they host a high-temperature quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE). This article discusses predictions for intrinsic DHMs and identifies them as realizations of the Kane-Mele Hubbard model at quarter filling. This proposed unification contributes to a firmer understanding of these materials and suggests pathways for the discovery of new DHM systems.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. We present a downscaling experiment linking a validated regional atmospheric model to local hydrodynamic, biogeochemical, ecosystem and target species population dynamic models, used to evaluate the effects of climate change on a coastal lagoon ecosystem and related good and services. Under both the A2 and B2 scenarios we observe a modification of the seasonal precipitation pattern, which affects the timing of nutrient inputs to the lagoon and causes a reduction in plankton productivity. These changes propagate    along   the food web with a time delay. Overall ecosystem good and services differ among scenarios, depending on the dynamics of the extremes (yearly maximum) values. Increases in the nutrient load maximum results in higher monthly peaks of primary producers and food web components directly related to the grazing food chain. A modifications of the timing of the nutrient peaks produces an enhancement of the food web components related to detritus‐based food chain. Constant exploitation rates for target and non‐target (discarded) species    lead to divergent changes in future scenarios on food web biodiversity and complexity and on fisheries landings. Simulations show that aquaculture activity will suffer and point to the need for management policies to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change.

All these processes are sensitive to triple Higgs couplings. Hence observations of them provide information on the triple Higgs couplings that help reconstructing the scalar potential. We also discuss the double Higgs-strahlung $e^+e^- \to h^0 h^0 Z$ in the decoupling limit where $h^0$ mimics the SM Higgs boson. The processes $e^+e^- \to h^0 h^0 Z$ and $e^+e^- \to h^0 H^0 Z$ are also discussed in the fermiophobic limit where distinctive signatures such as $4γ+X$, $2γ+X$ and $6γ+X$ are expected in the Type-I Two Higgs Doublet Model.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. The impacts of climate variability on coastal ecosystems are dependent on several factors, including assemblage structure and geographic locality. Moreover, in areas of intense harvest, removals often contribute to instability of populations and may increase the ability of climate to cause community-level reorganization. We used trawl survey data from the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service to assess the impact of these factors on the spatial structure of four contiguous Northwest Atlantic communities. We used ordinary least squares regression (OLS) to evaluate the interspecific abundance-occupancy (A-O) relationship for each community. Yearly A-O slopes and coefficients of determination served as indices of organismal density and spatial heterogeneity, respectively. The indices were regressed on time series of average surface temperature, Gulf Stream location and regional landings data. We found the strength of trends to increase with latitude, coinciding with regional shifts in assemblage structure. There was also regionally variable evidence for the effect of each external factor on community spatial utilization. Our results highlight the complexity and variety of biological responses to disturbance, even for adjacent communities. Lastly, our research will be important for future evaluations focused on ecological impacts of extrinsic factors on communities, beyond simple depletion or translocation of populations.

description: We determine the nonlocal stress autocorrelation tensor in an homogeneous and isotropic system of interacting Brownian particles starting from the Smoluchowski equation of the configurational probability density. In order to relate stresses to particle displacements as appropriate in viscoelastic states, we go beyond the usual hydrodynamic description obtained in the Zwanzig-Mori projection operator formalism by introducing the proper irreducible dynamics following Cichocki and Hess, and Kawasaki. Differently from these authors, we include transverse contributions as well. This recovers the expression for the stress autocorrelation including the elastic terms in solid states as found for Newtonian and Langevin systems, in case that those are evaluated in the overdamped limit. Finally, we argue that the found memory function reduces to the shear and bulk viscosity in the hydrodynamic limit of smooth and slow fluctuations and derive the corresponding hydrodynamic equations.

description: Quantum computing enables quantum neural networks (QNNs) to have great potentials to surpass artificial neural networks (ANNs). The powerful generalization of neural networks is attributed to nonlinear activation functions. Although various models related to QNNs have been developed, they are facing the challenge of merging the nonlinear, dissipative dynamics of neural computing into the linear, unitary quantum system. In this paper, we establish different quantum circuits to approximate nonlinear functions and then propose a generalizable framework to realize any nonlinear quantum neuron. We present two quantum neuron examples based on the proposed framework. The quantum resources required to construct a single quantum neuron are the polynomial, in function of the input size. Finally, both IBM Quantum Experience results and numerical simulations illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework.

Assessing the potential biological and socio-economic consequences resulting from climate change (CC) and ocean acidification (OA) impacts on marine ecosystems is necessary for the sustainable utilisation and management of the oceans’ resources and services. This requires interdisciplinary collaborations between experimental biologists, oceanographers, ecosystem modellers, social scientists and economists. Common assessment frameworks to integrate these interdisciplinary approaches are needed to bridge the methodological and scale challenges between sciences. We present such an assessment framework to assess the impacts of CC and OA on marine ecosystems and their services, with a view to develop an economic analysis that considers the needs of stakeholders. This framework aims to bring experiments focused on the potential impacts of OA into models, producing a solid basis for socio-economic analysis concentrating on three key areas: 1) species’ life-histories (e.g. survival, development, growth); 2) primary production and biogeochemical processes; and 3) species’ habitats availability (e.g. increased seaweed and seagrass production). The validity of this framework is demonstrated using case studies from research on commercial fish species and invertebrates.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. We developed a coupled biological-physical model (ROMS-TRACMASS) to examine how variable atmospheric and oceanographic forcing affects the spawning, transport, and distribution of walleye pollock early life stages (ELS) in the eastern Bering Sea. The eastern Bering Sea recently experienced a prolonged warm period followed by a prolonged cold period. Analyses of observational data indicated that spatial distributions of walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma; hereafter pollock) ELS are influenced by broad-scale and fine-scale variables, with temperature explaining more of the variation in abundance than wind, spawning stock biomass, and zooplankton biomass. Under warmer-than-average thermal conditions over the Bering Sea shelf distributions were shifted to the east, suggesting a relationship with the predominant wind patterns in these years. Additionally, adult fishery data indicate a change in the time of peak spawning between warm and cold years. The individual-based biophysical model was used to test the effects of atmospheric, oceanographic, and biological conditions on the transport, growth, and distribution of walleye pollock eggs and larvae. Model results will help elucidate the dominant physical mechanisms responsible for observed changes. We are currently examining historical pathways of dispersal with the intention of forecasting how pathways and distributions might vary in the future under changing climate conditions.

description: Further results are reported for the one-component quaternionic wave equation recently introduced. A Lagrangian is found for the momentum-space version of the free equation; and another, nonlocal in time, is found for the complete equation. Further study of multi-particle systems has us looking into the mathematics of tensor products of Hilbert spaces. The principles of linearity and superposition are also clarified to good effect in advancing the quaternionic theory.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. Multi-model ensemble simulations for the marine biogeochemistry and food web of the Baltic Sea were performed for the period 1850-2098, and projected changes in a future climate were compared with the past climate. For the past period 1850-2006, atmospheric, hydrological and nutrient forcings were reconstructed, based on historical measurements. For the future period 1961-2098, scenario simulations were driven by regionalized global General Circulation Model data and forced by various future greenhouse gas emission and air- and riverborne nutrient load scenarios (ranging from a pessimistic “business-as-usual” to the most optimistic case). Assuming greenhouse gas emission scenarios A1B or A2, we found that water temperatures at the end of this century may be higher and salinities and oxygen concentrations may be lower than ever measured since 1850. There is also a tendency of increased eutrophication in the future, depending on the nutrient load scenario. Although cod biomass is mainly controlled by fishing mortality, climate change together with eutrophication may result in a biomass decline during the latter part of this century, even when combined with lower fishing pressure. Despite considerable shortcomings of state-of-the-art models, this study suggests that the future Baltic Sea ecosystem may unprecedentedly change compared to the past 150 years.

description: Genetic Algorithm is an evolutionary algorithm and a metaheuristic that was introduced to overcome the failure of gradient based method in solving the optimization and search problems. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the impact on the convergence of Genetic Algorithm vis-a-vis 0/1 knapsack. By keeping the number of generations and the initial population fixed, different crossover methods like one point crossover and two-point crossover were evaluated and juxtaposed with each other. In addition to this, the impact of different selection methods like rank-selection, roulette wheel and tournament selection were evaluated and compared. Our results indicate that convergence rate of combination of one point crossover with tournament selection, with respect to 0/1 knapsack problem that we considered, is the highest and thereby most efficient in solving 0/1 knapsack.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. Marine zooplankton populations and communities are influenced by changes in local environmental conditions and ocean circulation. To provide information on how interannual changes in the pelagic environment and larger scale changes in circulation influence    zooplankton communities of the Scotian Shelf, in the Canadian northwest Atlantic, multivariate analyses were used to evaluate mesozooplankton species associations and large‐scale spatial patterns in zooplankton communities at both the Scotian Shelf scale and the larger Atlantic Canadian shelf scale. Depth and temperature associations were dominant factors structuring Atlantic Canadian shelf communities. Scotian Shelf species groups could be categorized as dominant shelf species, warm shelf species, Arctic Calanus species, and warm and cold offshore species. The abundance of immigrant groups, Arctic Calanus and warm offshore species, were strongly correlated with variability in temperature, while dynamics of the dominant species were more complex. While there is substantial uncertainty about how conditions on the Scotian Shelf will change in the future, the influence of the subtropical gyre may become greater, and it is likely that temperature will increase, salinity will decrease, and stratification will increase. Information on large‐scale zooplankton community patterns can provide insight into how species ranges and communities may change in the future.
