Fisheries research 2019 v.217 pp. 156-168
ISSN:
0165-7836
Subject:
case studies; fisheries; models; population dynamics; population structure
Abstract:
... Understanding population dynamics is essential for achieving sustainable and productive fisheries. However, estimating recruitment in a stock assessment model involves the challenging task of identifying a self-sustaining population, which often includes representing complex geographic structure. A review of several case studies demonstrated that alternative stock assessment models can influence e ...

Abstract:
... Despite their generally negative attitude toward food waste, consumers often pursue goals that can inhibit their intention to reduce food waste. Identifying these goals that inhibit consumers’ intention to reduce food waste is essential for the development of successful public policy and retail approaches designed to curb or reduce household food waste. First, we conducted semi-structured qualitat ...

Abstract:
... The interfacial abruptness and uniformity in heterostructures are critical to control their electronic and optical properties. With this perspective, this work demonstrates the three-dimensional (3D) atomic-level mapping of the roughness and uniformity of buried epitaxial interfaces in Si/SiGe superlattices with a layer thickness in the 1.5–7.5 nm range. Herein, 3D atom-by-atom maps were acquired ...

... The optimization of polymer barrier properties is currently of crucial importance for a wide range of applications from packaging to building or even energy applications. To meet the requirements of these applications, polymer matrices are often combined with impermeable (nano) fillers. Different nanofiller natures, shapes, and contents have been experimentally used and a large range of barrier ma ...

Using photogrammetry, thallus topography was digitally modelled in three dimensions to calculate 3D surface area (A₃D), which was consistently greater than areas extracted from projected images (A₂D). The A₃D:A₂D ratio, a pro ...

The disadvantage of these 2D mug shots is that the perspective, in which they are taken (usual ...
