The economic payoffs from marine reserves: resource rents in a stochastic environment
The paper analyses the economic payoffs from marine reserves using a stochastic optimal control model. The results show that even if the reserve and harvested populations face the same negative shocks, harvesting is optimal, the population is persistent ...

System identification and particle image velocimetry reveal how a modular robotic fish changes thrust physics across gaits. A traveling‐wave, fish‐like motion draws thrust from resistive drag, while a resonant standing‐wave motion is driven by reactive pressure.

Rebuilding the Eastern Baltic cod stock under environmental change - Part II: The economic viability of a marine protected area [PDF]
This study adds a cost analysis of the Eastern Baltic cod fishery to the existing model presented in Röckmann et al. (forthcoming). As cost data on this international fishery do not exist, available data from Denmark are extrapolated to the whole ...

ABSTRACT Background We investigated associations of self‐reported and job exposure matrix (JEM) assigned civilian occupational exposure to vapors, gas, dust, or fumes (VGDF) with respiratory symptoms among previously deployed US Veterans. Methods An interviewer‐administered questionnaire ascertained self‐reported civilian occupational VGDF exposure.
