Precious Coral Fisheries of Hawaii and the U.S. Pacific Islands [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
The precious coral fishery in Hawaii and the Western Pacific consists of one industry but two distinct and separate fisheries. The first is the harvest of black coral by scuba divers from depths of 30-100 m.

Efficient Conductivity Enhancement of Flexible Polyaniline Films Induced by Ultrafast Photoexcitation

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This work uses ultrafast photoexcitation to enhance doped polyaniline films' conductivity and transistor transconductance. Polyaniline (PANI) exhibits remarkable electrical conductivity and mechanical flexibility, rendering it widely applicable in flexible electronic devices.

Decentralized Wind Energy Systems as Catalysts for Urban Resilience: A Design Framework

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Confronting the escalating extreme weather events (EWEs) and intensifying winds, this study proposes an active response to these issues by exploring decentralized wind energy production for Peng Chau Island, Hong Kong. It integrates theoretical perspectives on energy democracy—empowering local communities through energy autonomy—and urban ...

Threshold Decline in Mesoamerican Coral Growth and Resiliency [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Caribbean coral reefs have been massively altered in recent decades due to human impacts, resulting in a dramatic reduction of live coral cover but quantitative data before the 1970s have not been available to assess how these changes came about1,2,3. We

Low‐temperature soft electrochemical actuator based on hierarchically structured polypyrrole membranes for subzero operation

open access: yesFlexMat, EarlyView.
A soft electrochemical actuator using a hierarchically structured polypyrrole membrane with coral‐like hollow vesicles achieves stable performance at −24°C. The unique architecture ensures continuous conductivity and rapid ion diffusion, resulting in large strain, low energy consumption, and high coulombic efficiency under subzero conditions. This work

Mid-term coral-algal dynamics and conservation status of a Gorgona Island (Tropical Eastern Pacific) coral reef

open access: yesRevista de Biología Tropical, 2010
Colombian coral reefs, as other reefs worldwide, have deteriorated significantly during the last few decades due to both natural and anthropogenic disturbances. The National Monitoring System for Coral Reefs in Colombia (SIMAC) was established in 1998 to

Coherent Forecasting of Realized Volatility

open access: yesJournal of Forecasting, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The QLIKE loss function is the stylized favorite of the literature on volatility forecasting when it comes to out‐of‐sample evaluation and the state of the art model for realized volatility (RV) forecasting is the HAR model, which minimizes the squared error loss for in‐sample estimation of the parameters.
