description: In this paper we demonstrate the use of intelligent optimization methodologies on the visualization optimization of virtual / simulated environments. The problem of automatic selection of an optimized set of views, which better describes an on-going simulation over a virtual environment is addressed in the context of the RoboCup Rescue Simulation domain. A generic architecture for optimization is proposed and described. We outline the possible extensions of this architecture and argue on how several problems within the fields of Interactive Rendering and Visualization can benefit from it.

description: Der er sket en markant reduktion i antallet af omkomne på de danske veje i de senere år. Dog er antallet af tilskadekomne, der modtager behandling i Sundhedsvæsenet i forbindelse med trafikulykker kun faldet lidt. Derimod er antallet af ulykker registreret i de offentlige statistikker faldet voldsomt, hvorfor mørketallet er steget til ca. 91%. Da sortpletarbejdet, der er en hovedhjørnesten i trafiksikkerhedsarbejdet, baseres på de officielle statistikker, er det baseret på et usikkert grundlag. Artiklen tager udgangspunkt i GPS-data fra biler i det nyligt afsluttede ITS Platformsprojekt og undersøger, om koncentrationer af kraftige decelerationer og de afledte herfra, ryk, indsamlet fra kørende biler, kan anvendes som en supplerende metode til at udpege sorte pletter. Ideen baseres på den svenske konfliktstudieteknik, hvorfra der kan dokumenteres en sammenhæng mellem antallet af konflikter (nær-ulykker) og faktiske rapporterede ulykker. Denne undersøgelse baserer sig på data fra 380 biler i tre måneder, hvilket svarer til ca. 1,9 mio. km. Den antyder, at koncentrationer af store decelerationer genfindes, hvor der er store trafikmængder, men ikke nødvendigvis, hvor der kan konstateres problemer med vejnettets indretning og omgivelser. Den indikerer, at koncentrationer af store ryk kan genfindes, hvor vejnettet er uhensigtsmæssigt indrettet og/eller hvor der tidligere er konstateret ulykker. Et litteraturstudie antyder ligeledes, at ryk giver en bedre indikation på nær-ulykker end decelerationer. Til gengæld kan det konstateres, at ryk optræder koncentreret i forbindelse med ujævnheder på vejnettet, hvorfor registreringer i disse lokaliteter skal fjernes, for at ryk kan være en troværdig indikator. Endvidere konstateres det, at antallet af registrerede decelerationer/ryk i det anvendte datasæt er for lavt til at det endelig kan afklares, om sorte pletter kan identificeres ved hjælp af ryk.

Hors-d'oeuvres : ornamental decoration and gender
Creators: name: Daw, Robyn
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: In this thesis I propose to make explicit the historical basis of the connection between ornamental decoration and the feminine and reveal this as not just something inherently 'female', but a product of historical conventions and interpretation. I wish to show how this has impacted on the way artists and theorists have approached ornamental decoration, its reception in the public domain, and how contemporary artists have achieved a critical approach that both relies upon and is distinct from previous artists' and critics' interpretations. The 'feminine' is as much an historical construction as the link between it and ornamental decoration: neither are biologically determined. Yet it is still difficult to dissuade viewers from this assumption. In order to achieve my aims, this thesis investigates the evolution of the link between ornament and the feminine through an analysis of the terms 'ornament' and 'decoration' and traces the history of the feminisation and subsequent denigration of ornamental decoration through a discussion and comparison of historical and modern writers on the subject. It addresses how ornament has become connected to the feminine and indicates the implications for artists who choose to use it. It also investigates various attempts to reinsert ornamental decoration into contemporary visual art, paying specific attention to the exploitation of the 'feminine', and the critical reception of these attempts. What is revealed is that, even when ornamental decoration is used to critique or subvert the historical construction that gave rise to the dichotomy, often it serves to reinforce its reductive, essentialist position, to the extent that it remains problematic for women artists to use it without being perceived solely as taking a 'feminine' position, and falling victim to the dichotomies that have denigrated it as trivial and extrinsic to form. Through investigating contemporary visual art and theory, particularly those which suggest alternative models for approaching the construction of gender, I propose a possible direction by which the dichotomy that sees ornamental decoration as extrinsic to form, can be transcended.

description: Vi analyserer forskelle i mænds og kvinders involvering i trafikulykker. Vi sammenholder antal personer involveret i trafikulykker med gruppernes transportarbejde for en række socioøkonomiske grupper. Analyserne gennemføres dels ved hjælp af beskrivende statistik, dels ved hjælp af simple regressionsanalyser. De anvendte data er Vejdirektoratets ulykkesstatistik, Danmarks Statistiks registre og Transportvaneundersøgelsen. Arbejdet har ført til en række resultater, der kan være relevante for trafiksikkerhedsindsatsen. Et eksempel på et resultat er, at mænd og kvinder med en mellemlang videregående uddannelse er lige ofte involveret i trafikulykker. Størstedelen af gruppen er involveret i trafikulykker med bil, herefter følger cykel og dernæst fodgængerulykker. Et andet eksempel på et resultat er, at en uforholdsmæssig stor del af personerne involveret i trafikulykker har mindre end et års kørekortserfaring. Det er særligt tilfældet for mænd, og i ganske særlig grad tilfældet for mænd involveret i eneulykker.

Transversity in exclusive vector-meson leptoproduction

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: 530 Physik

description: The role of transversity or helicity-flip generalized parton distributions (GPDs) in leptoproduction of vector mesons is investigated within the framework of the handbag approach. The transversity GPDs in combination with twist-3 meson wave functions, occur in the amplitudes for transitions from a transversely polarized virtual photon to a longitudinal polarized vector meson. The importance of the transversity GPDs can be examined in some of the spin density matrix elements and in transverse target spin asymmetries. Using suitable parametrizations of both helicity-flip and non-flip GPDs, which are essentially taken from our previous papers, we estimate these observables and compare the results with available data.

Complex persons : a holistic solution to personal identity
Creators: name: Enright, Pauline M.
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The contemporary problem of personal identity can be traced to Locke's initial formulation of the problem, and to the difficulties inherent in his solution. Following Locke, the favoured view in contemporary literature is that the primary locus of personal identity is in a person's psychological states or mind, to the exclusion of other factors, such as a person's body, or a person's environment. This thesis critically challenges the view that psychological continuity alone grounds personal identity. In addressing the psychological continuity criterion, I argue that the most fully developed version of this criterion contains untenable presuppositions about the nature of psychological states. In particular, I argue that the thought experiments advanced in support of the psychological continuity criterion are not adequate to establish that psychological continuity alone grounds personal identity. I also challenge the internalist conception of mental states implicit in the psychological continuity criterion, and the commitment to an atomistic, owner-independent characterisation of mental states. I argue instead for a characterisation that is holistic and owner-dependent. I also defend the view that the body plays a positive role in personal identity, and that self-unity is a necessary condition for the possibility of experience. Throughout the thesis there is a strong commitment to the view that conceptual analysis alone is insufficient to solve the crucial issues involved in personal identity. There is, therefore, a significant utilisation of current empirical research and studies to support this commitment. Throughout the thesis also, attention is paid to the ethical implications of the psychological continuity criterion's conception of personhood, and to the practical consequences which are likely to be involved in this conception, were it to be adopted.

description: Mobilitetsstrategier, mobilitetsplaner eller Trafik- og mobilitetsplaner er ord, som de seneste år har vundet frem i både danske og udenlandske kommuner. I Danmark har vi oftest hørt om hvordan der arbejdes med begreberne igennem store projekter, som Formel M og i de største kommuner. Men hvordan arbejdes der med mobilitet, når det primære transportmiddel er privatbilen og alternativerne i den kollektiv trafik er på et minimum? Eller hvordan skabes der en bred opbakning i alle forvaltninger om at se nyt og anderledes på transport i kommunen? I flere af de mindre og mellemstore kommuner er der et ønske om at arbejde med mobilitet, men i en kontekst som giver mening for den udvikling og de visioner som de arbejder med, hvilken oftest er forskellig fra mulighederne i de store byer. Samtidig er der stor forskel på hvordan man ser på mobilitet. Overordnet set handler det for alle kommuner om at skabe de bedst mulige betingelser for borgere og erhvervsliv. I de store byer er der stor fokus på grøn mobilitet, hvor visionerne er at flytte så mange som muligt fra bilen over i den kollektive trafik eller på cykel. I de mellemstore og mindre kommuner er mobilitet at skabe de bedste betingelser for at kunne bevæge sig rundt til de daglige gøremål. Mange mindre kommuner lever af at der er god tilgængelighed til vejnettet og tror ikke så meget på at cyklen kan løse deres udfordringer. Dette ofte fordi de fleste af turene er lange pendlerture og fordi det blot er meget lettere at benytte bilen. I store dele af disse kommuner vil det mere dreje sig om hvorledes det er muligt at sammen tænke og koble de forskellige håndtag der findes og der er råd til. En anden vigtig del, som der er arbejdet med, er at skabe samarbejde på tværs. At få alle forvaltninger til at forstå, hvad mobilitet betyder for deres kerneområde. Mobilitetsplaner tager udgangspunkt i borgernes behov. Hvilke mennesker skal de transportere? Kan de transportere sig selv eller er de afhængige af kommunal kørsel. Oplægget vil handle om, hvordan mobilitet forstås alt efter hvilken kommune der ser på det, hvordan opgaven er grebet an og hvad der har initieret opgaven og processen med den, som udgangspunkt for en drøftelse/debat om hvordan vi behandler begrebet mobilitet i forskellige kontekster. I det følgende beskrives 4 forskellige eksempler på kommuners arbejde med mobilitet.

description: Legare in una ricerca problematica l’etica e le passioni esigerebbe forse, quale mossa preliminare, una qualche giustificazione dell’uso di questa parola, “passioni”; oppure, in seconda battuta, un’indagine semantica che ne fondi un impiego a ragion veduta, rispetto ad altri termini pure possibili e altrettanto diffusi, quali “emozioni”, “sentimenti”, “affetti”. Rinunciando a riproporre o a riaprire un dibattito in merito ormai amplissimo, la nostra scelta si è orientata (relativamente al titolo) sul termine più datato ma, in qualche misura e nel senso che diremo, anche archetipico: “passione” dunque, termine figlio di quel pathos che già nella Grecia antica è oggetto di largo e articolato approccio, in sede letteraria come filosofica. Il legame del sostantivo pathos col verbo paschein, il “patire” o “soffrire”, che sigla l’intensità del suo darsi non meno che – spesso – l’inattrezzata inermità dell’essere umano alla sua forza, non esclude però due aspetti che a noi paiono sostanziali per il tipo di ricerca che, in questo numero 2 di «Thaumàzein», proviamo a proporre. Il pathos greco-antico mai è ridotto al versante solo cognitivo del suo manifestarsi al soggetto (so che sto desiderando, amando, odiando, invidiando, etc.), ma – ben diversamente da quanto sancito in valutazioni intellettualistiche tanto diffuse quanto superficiali – prevede un coinvolgimento della dimensione sia affettiva che cognitiva e, di conseguenza, esige una riflessione articolata sul tipo di esperienza globale che questo complicato intreccio fra conoscere e sentire volta a volta determina.

Strategic choice of measures

Year: 2015

description: Since 2013 the study of strategic choice of measures has been a part of the process for the strategic and economic planning of the transport system in Sweden. The main objective in implementing a new planning process for infrastructure was to ensure safe and cost-efficient solutions which contribute to sustainable development and the fulfilment of the Swedish transport policy. The method for strategic choice of measures is focused on facilitating collaboration between the actors that have a responsibility in planning the transport system as well as enabling involvement of the general public and other actors. The methodology is divided into four phases. Initiate - Making the decision of starting a study, involving the closest concerned actors and deciding on the main aim of the study as well as the cost and time frame. Understand the situation - Defining the problems needs and deficiencies, setting a scope for the study, describing the current situation and the ‘zero option’ and agreeing on which goals the measures should reach. Test possible solutions - Identify possible measures with the help of the ‘four-step principle’ and within all modes of transport and assess the measures to see if they contribute to the goal of the study, is economically sound, does not lead to any negative consequences etc. Form a direction and recommend measures - Recommend measures or a combination of measures and hopefully reach an agreement between the actors. There are some adjustments to be made to the method, but there seems to be a consensus that the method for strategic choice of measures has led to a better understanding of the different actors’ points of views - both the problems and needs within the transport system but also the issues and limitations within their respective organisations. This is something that could benefit the Danish authorities, especially since they have separate authorities for road and railway.

Policy runs with the COMPAS model
Creators: name: Vuk, Goran
Publisher: name: Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 2015

description: This paper introduces an activity based (AB) traffic demand model for Copenhagen, called COMPAS. It is European first operational AB model of a discrete choice type. As an innovation we introduce the concept of Primary Family Priority Time (PFPT), which represents a high priority household decision to spend time together for in-home activities. Structural tests and estimation results identify two important findings. First, PFPT has a place high in the model hierarchy of day activity schedule submodels, and second, strong interactions exist between PFPT and the other day level activity components of the model system. Forecasts, for the year 2030, are generated for two case studies: a) a road pricing and congestion scenario by COMPAS and a comparison version of the model system that excludes PFPT, and b) an Autonomous Vehicle (AV) scenario. With respect to the first scenario, the COMPAS model system with PFPT is measurably less sensitive to a road pricing and congestion scenario than the comparison model system without PFPT. This is most evident in lower mode shift from car to other modes and smaller shift of car commutes away from the afternoon peak period. With respect to the Autonomous Vehicle scenario, we get for the morning peak traffic and home-work trips only, an increase of car trips by 8.2%.

The delinquency of Indian girls on British Columbia : a study in socialization
Creators: name: Neilson, Kathryn Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Delinquency is examined in groups of young female offenders from two different cultures: British Columbia Indians and the larger White society. Socialization (Gough and Peterson 1952) is the focus of the study, due to its universal nature. Facets and dimensions of socialization are examined statistically and qualitatively for Indian-White differences in the expression and significance of delinquency for each culture. Several significant findings emerge. Specifically, the reliability of measures used is consistently poorer for Indian subjects. Indian delinquents show more positive attitudes toward family and more pessimism regarding life in general than do their White counterparts. The methods used do not permit adequate exploration of the complexities of Indian-White differences. The implications of the study for future research and for treatment of Indian delinquents are discussed.

description: Der er mange bud på, hvornår den selvkørende bil for alvor slår igennem, men det er sikkert, at de bliver en del af den fremtidige trafik. Udbredelsen af selvkørende biler kommer til at betyde meget for, hvordan vi transporterer os og dermed hvordan vi fremadrettet skal planlægge investeringer i ny infrastruktur og den generelle trans-portplanlægning. Det kommer til at betyde noget for behovet for veje og parkeringspladser. For at planlægge den fremtidige infrastruktur, skal vi kunne inddrage effekterne af selvkørende biler i den fremtidige samfundsmæssige prioritering af infrastrukturprojekter, også selvom udviklingen og udbredelsen af bilerne er behæftet med stor usikkerhed. I Vejdirektoratet har vi derfor igangsat en række aktiviteter, der er rettet imod at gøre den fremtidige planlægningsindsats parat til at inkludere selvkørende biler. Der er gennemført beregninger med de to mest oplagte værktøjer vi har til rådighed i dag. Fremadrettet vil vi så vidt muligt beskrive udbredelsen af selvkørende biler i en række scenarier. For herved at bygge rammen om det første bud på, hvad selvkørende biler kan betyde for trafikken, herunder estimere hvilke forudsætninger der kan ændres i modelberegningerne, så de afspejler den fremtidige udvikling inden for nye teknologier. Aktiviteterne er endnu ikke afsluttede, men vi vil her gennemgå de indledende beregninger som har givet os et første indblik hvad selvkørende biler kan betyde for den samlede planlægning fremadrettet.

Modelling real choice between conventional ad electric cars for homebased journeys

Year: 2015

description: Over the last decades, several studies have focused on understanding what drives the demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and to what extent the difference in several characteristics – especially the limited driving range and limited charging options - makes it a feasible transport alternative compared to conventional internal combustion engine vehicles (ICVs). However such studies do not reveal to what extent households would actually use an EV for travel if they had the choice. We utilize a dataset describing household travel with either a private ICV or an EV that was available to the household for three months in connection with a large-scale EV demonstration project in Denmark. These data allow us to study what factors that influence the choice between an EV and an ICV for home-based journeys. The results show that several factors related to the time, length and number of trip legs affect the choice of the EV. Furthermore, we show that whether it is necessary to recharge the battery during the journey as well as the weather at the time of departure has an effec

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. The cascading consequences of overharvesting top marine predators are becoming increasingly clear. While most of the ecosystem effects of fishing have been attributed to a decline in predator abundance, a largely unexplored mechanism for explaining these trophic cascades is the reduction in predator body size due to fishing. Because body size often determines what and how much a predator eats, the loss of large individuals may eliminate the capacity for predators to regulate prey populations. We developed a size-structured predator-prey model to identify the life history characteristics of predators that make predator-prey interactions most vulnerable to disruption by fishing. When ontogenetic shifts in diet occurred, fishing caused the greatest reductions in prey consumption for prey eaten late in the life history. We applied this model to California kelp forest ecosystems where predation by sheephead, Semicossyphus pulcher, on sea urchins, Strongylocentrotus spp., begins at adulthood. In field populations where large sheephead are absent, urchin mortality rates are lower, particularly for the largest urchins. Reductions in body size due to fishing sheephead may lead to a reduction in the ability of these predators to control urchin densities, increasing the likelihood of kelp forests being converted to urchin barrens.

description: We have investigated spectral variation of the Seyfert 1 galaxy MCG-6-30-15 observed with Suzaku in January 2006 for three separate periods spreading over fourteen days. We found that the time-averaged continuum energy spectrum between 1 keV and 40 keV can be approximated with a spectral model composed of the direct power-law component, its reflection component, two warm absorbers with different ionization states, and neutral absorption. We have taken two approaches to study its spectral variation at various timescales: The first approach is to make intensity-sliced spectra and study correlation between the intensity and spectral shape. The second approach is to study spectral changes between the intervals when the source flux is above ("bright state") and below ("faint state") the average for fixed time-intervals. In both approaches, we found a clear correlation between the intensity in the 6 -- 10 keV band and the spectral ratio of 0.5 -- 3.0 keV/6.0-- 10 keV. Such a spectral variation requires change of the apparent slope of the direct component, whereas the shape and intensity of the reflection component being invariable. The observed apparent spectral change is explained by variation of the ionization degree of one of the two warm absorbers due to intrinsic source luminosity variation. Current results suggest that the warm absorber has a critical role to explain the observed continuum spectral shape and variation of MCG-6-30-15, which is essential to constrain parameters of the putatively broadened iron line emission feature.

More minimal conditions for painting
Creators: name: Haddon, Neil
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The grid, pristine industrial materials, systems, the monochrome - these are some of the more recognisable characteristics of Minimal art. These characteristics are used, or more correctly misused, in this project in such a way as to question the values commonly attributed to them; to insert evidence of use and the seed of doubt. The realities of the everyday ‚ÄövÑvÆ the wear and tear of use ‚ÄövÑvÆ are contradictory to the supposedly pure values of Minimalism. The project proposes that when methodologies derived from these realities are applied to and extended within abstract geometric minimal painting it can be re-aligned with that everyday experience rather than being seen as aloof from it. To achieve this a new model for abstract painting is proposed; one that recoils from simply pursuing 'more of the same'. This new model might then be seen to articulate the uncertainties that the perceived model of Minimalism excludes. This articulation relies on the new model being conversant with 'human fallibility' and the blemishes of the real world. These issues were investigated in a studio based practice which produced a large body of paintings. The project shows that a clash of values; on the one hand the supposedly idealised and untainted, on the other the scuffed corners and uncertainties of the real world, positioned in the one body of work, yields a very different kind of abstraction from that handed down from the mid 60's. It is a kind of abstraction which acknowledges and accepts its place within a world of other things; that is not divorced from that world. It finds affinity with an imperfect world of blemishes and mistakes whilst maintaining that within all of this there is still room for the blank space of abstraction. Ultimately the conclusion of this project, if it is to challenge the view of Minimalism as sealed within its own pristine constructions, must remain open. Its proposal is to open up a model of geometric abstraction which has come to be seen, rightly or wrongly, as closed and impervious. The project necessarily raises doubts but it does so by proposing that such is life, and that there is room for a kind of geometric abstract painting that finds itself at home here.

description: We analyze the effects of capture of dark matter (DM) particles, with successive annihilations, predicted in the minimal walking technicolor model (MWT) by the Sun and the Earth. We show that the Super-Kamiokande (SK) upper limit on excessive muon flux disfavors the mass interval between 100-200 GeV for MWT DM with a suppressed Standard Model interaction (due to a mixing angle), and the mass interval between 0-1500 GeV for MWT DM without such suppression, upon making the standard assumption about the value of the local DM distribution. In the first case, the exclusion interval is found to be very sensitive to the DM distribution parameters and can vanish at the extreme of the acceptable values.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. The Black Sea and the Baltic Sea are two European lake‐like marine systems where regime shifts have occurred. Both ecosystems show similar features and hold comparable long‐term records for the main food web components and external pressures. Here, we analyse Black Sea and Baltic Sea multi‐trophic time series applying the same statistical tool, which allowed us to characterize tipping points and quantify the main dynamics ruling each regime phase. In both systems a trophic cascade, consequence of overfishing, drove a shift between regimes. This work focuses on the robustness of this ecological mechanism. By simulating environmental scenarios we tested whether enhanced bottom‐up effects could counteract the development of the trophic cascades once these have been triggered. We found that under certain environmental settings the trophic cascade signals blur at different levels suggesting that the observed changes resulted from a combination of heavy fishing and unfavourable conditions.
Stationary and impulsive injection of electron beams in converging magnetic field

description: In this work we study time-dependent precipitation of an electron beam injected into a flaring atmosphere with a converging magnetic field by considering collisional and Ohmic losses with anisotropic scattering and pitch angle diffusion. Two injection regimes are investigated: short impulse and stationary injection. The effects of converging magnetic fields with different spatial profiles are compared and the energy deposition produced by the precipitating electrons at different depths and regimes is calculated. The time dependent Fokker-Planck equation for electron distribution in depth, energy and pitch angle was solved numerically by using the summary approximation method. It was found that steady state injection is established for beam electrons at 0.07-0.2 seconds after the injection onset depending on the initial beam parameters. Energy deposition by a stationary beam is strongly dependent on a self-induced electric field but less on a magnetic field convergence. Energy depositions by short electron impulses are found to be insensitive to the self-induced electric field but are strongly affected by a magnetic convergence. Short beam impulses are shown to produce sharp asymmetric hard X-ray bursts within a millisecond timescale often observed in solar flares.

TEMA (Transporters EMissioner under Alternative forudsætninger) 2015
Creators: name: Hausgaard, Emil
Publisher: name: Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 2015

description: Denne artikel beskriver modellen TEMA2015 og opdateringen af TEMA-modellen til denne version. Herunder er der hovedsageligt fokus på modellens opbygning, anvendelse og resultater. Herudover er der lagt fokus på hvilke konkrete opdateringer der er foretaget i forbindelse med opdateringen af TEMA2010 til TEMA2015. Formålet med denne artikel, samt oplægget på Trafikdage 2015, er at kunne præsentere den nye TEMA udgave, og fremlægge de forbedringer der er foretaget i opdateringen til 2015 udgaven. Herudover også generelt at orientere om, hvad TEMA kan benyttes til i praksis. TEMA er en beregningsmodel, der kan beregne energiforbrug og emissioner for både person- og godstransport for følgende transportmidler: Personbiler, busser, tog, fly, færger, varebiler, lastbiler, godstog, godsfærger og fragtskibe. Siden TEMA2010 blev offentliggjort er der sket betydelige teknologiske fremskridt, hvorfor det var nødvendigt med en opdatering, som siden hen er resulteret i TEMA2015. Her er alle væsentlige fremskridt og ændringer siden TEMA2010 forsøgt medtaget og indarbejdet, såfremt disse er fundet relevante for selve modellen og dens beregninger. Disse opdateringer beskrives i nærmere detaljer i artiklen, og vil blive præsenteret på Trafikdage 2015.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. The backdrop of ecosystem-based management makes a stronger case for integrating biotic and abiotic information, guided by ecological theory and empirical evidence. In the Norwegian-financed strategic program ADMAR, we build on Brunel et al.(2010) and Skagen et al. (2013)and the concept of 'link functions' as a tactic to bring the abiotic and biotic connections into a management framework at the population level: by doing this, we add a dimension to the harvest control rule setup that include environmental cues along with the traditional biological input on stock biomass

description: Compared to starburst galaxies, normal star forming galaxies have been shown to display a much larger dispersion of the dust attenuation at fixed reddening through studies of the IRX-beta diagram (the IR/UV ratio "IRX" versus the UV color "beta"). To investigate the causes of this larger dispersion and attempt to isolate second parameters, we have used GALEX UV, ground-based optical, and Spitzer infrared imaging of 8 nearby galaxies, and examined the properties of individual UV and 24 micron selected star forming regions. We concentrated on star-forming regions, in order to isolate simpler star formation histories than those that characterize whole galaxies. We find that 1) the dispersion is not correlated with the mean age of the stellar populations, 2) a range of dust geometries and dust extinction curves are the most likely causes for the observed dispersion in the IRX-beta diagram 3) together with some potential dilution of the most recent star-forming population by older unrelated bursts, at least in the case of star-forming regions within galaxies, 4) we also recover some general characteristics of the regions, including a tight positive correlation between the amount of dust attenuation and the metal content. Although generalizing our results to whole galaxies may not be immediate, the possibility of a range of dust extinction laws and geometries should be accounted for in the latter systems as well.

description: Artiklen baserer sig på specialeopgaven på uddannelsen til landskabsarkitekt. Under titlen ”Fra Lygten til Lorteøen” omhandler specialet, der blev afsluttet i september 2014, et forslag til en letbanelinje fra Nørrebro st. over Nørreport og København H til Amager. Forslaget tager udgangspunkt i de problemstillinger, som den nuværende busdrift skaber i korridoren i dag. Problemer som ikke bliver løst med en metrocityring. I artiklen argumenteres for, at det er muligt, under hensyntagen til øvrige trafikformer og bymiljø, at etablere en letbane som en forlængelse af en eventuel letbane på Frederikssundsvej, og at valget mellem letbane og metro ikke et enten eller, men at systemerne har hver deres styrker, og derfor kan supplere hinanden. Med letbanen vil de trafikale vilkår for cyklister og fodgængere blive forbedret, samtidig med at fremkommeligheden for biltrafikken prioriteres. Sidst men ikke mindst inddrages konkrete eksempler på, hvordan anlægget af letbanen bidrager til at skabe en række nye og forbedrede byrum langs strækningen.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. A conceptual model of how size-selective fishing and non-selective trawling modify the expected size spectrum of a community is proposed. Moreover, the constancy in the temporal pattern of size structure observed in already established fisheries, seems to suggest, from the point of view of size structure, stability of the community, but in an overexploited alternate regime. In order to implement a fisheries management strategy according to the balanced harvesting strategy recently proposed, it would be necessary to try to return the community / ecosystem to a not overexploited alternate regime in order to improve ecosystem services.
