Abstract:
... This paper presents research on recreational paddlefish anglers’ preferences for catch-and-release fishing. We used stated preference (SP) data from a choice experiment to identify the effect of a hypothetical catch-and-release regulation on fishing preferences, and revealed preference (RP) data to measure the desirability of actual paddlefish fishing locations. We then modeled the effects of catc ...

Abstract:
... Fog harvesting is a useful technique for obtaining fresh water in arid climates. The wire meshes currently utilized for fog harvesting suffer from dual constraints: coarse meshes cannot efficiently capture microscopic fog droplets, whereas fine meshes suffer from clogging issues. Here, we design and fabricate fog harvesters comprising an array of vertical wires, which we call “fog harps”. Under co ...
