Total Economic Values of Increasing Gray Whale Populations: Results from a Contingent Valuation Survey of Visitors and Households [PDF]
The consistency of an individual's willingness to pay (WTP) responses for increases in the quantity of an environmental public good (whale populations) is tested along three lines.

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.A comparison of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Random Forest (RF) model predictions of benthic habitats within Apollo Marine Park. The CNN (left) and RF (right) classification maps show the spatial distribution of three habitat types: high energy circalittoral rock with seabed‐covering sponges, low complexity circalittoral rock with non‐crowded

Analysis of turbulence and vortex structures by flow mapping [PDF]
, 1997 The technique of Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) flow mapping is reviewed and comparisons made with Laser Doppler Anemometry (LDA). Results are presented showing the application of PlV to the determination of coherent structures in grid-generated ...

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study explores the interaction of organisational culture, corporate social responsibility (CSR) and Indigenous values in Aotearoa‐New Zealand's fishing industry, focusing on Māori‐owned and non–Māori‐owned companies. It reveals how Māori values shape company culture and how CSR aligns with them. Using Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory,

steel research international, EarlyView.Cold spray deposition of stainless steel (grade: SS304) is evaluated for marine applications, with emphasis on martensitic transformation during impact. Analytical modeling, simulations, and experiments reveal that helium‐assisted spraying of fine powders promotes cooling below the martensitic start temperature, enabling up to ≈40% austenite to ...

Estimating the impact of whaling on global whale watching [PDF]
After the commercial whaling moratorium was enacted in 1986, whale watching became one of the fastest growing tourism industries worldwide. As whaling was regarded as an activity incompatible with whale watching, the possible resumption of commercial ...

Distributed AutoML framework for multi‐objective optimization of concrete crack segmentation models
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Monitoring cracks in concrete surfaces is essential for structural safety. While machine vision techniques have received significant interest in this domain, selecting optimal models and tuning hyperparameters remain challenging. This paper proposes a Distributed Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) framework for efficiently designing and ...
