Causal analysis of trade loss from pathogens: A global study of foot and mouth disease impacts on meat exports

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Our general interest is in global trade loss from livestock pathogens, specifically exports. We adopt a causal inference approach that considers animal disease outbreaks over time as non‐staggered binary treatments with the potential for switching in (infection) and out of treatment (recovery) within the sample period. The outcome evolution of

The 'W' prawn-trawl with emphasised drag-force transfer to its centre line to reduce overall system drag. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
For prawn trawling systems, drag reduction is a high priority as the trawling process is energy intensive. Large benefits have occurred through the use of multiple-net rigs and thin twine in the netting.

Synergistic Integration of LiCF3SO3 in PVdF‐HFP/PVAc Polymer Blends: Multifaceted Analysis From Microstructure to Electrochemical Properties

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Solid polymer electrolyte films of PVdF‐HFP/PVAc blend with LiCF3SO3 were prepared by solution casting. XRD, FESEM, and FTIR confirmed reduced crystallinity and enhanced amorphous nature. Ionic conductivity reached 3.46 × 10−4 S cm−1 for optimized SP4.

Utterance evolution: the road to generative, combinatorial communicators

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Language has long been considered uniquely complex in the animal kingdom; however, animal research over the last decade has begun to challenge some long‐standing premises about exactly which language capacities are uniquely human. The task of resolving why and how complex communication systems evolve, particularly human language, has ...

Influence of Trawl Geometry and Vertical Distribution of Fish on Sampling with Bottom Trawl

Journal of Northwest Atlantic Fishery Science, 1986
Studies were initiated at the Institute of Marine Research, Bergen, in 1984 with the aim of improving the reliability of bottom trawl and acoustic survey results for cod and haddock in the Barents Sea. Spread of the wings and doors and height of the trawl were measured during fishing operations, and acoustic recordings of fish densities were obtained ...
