Ship Breaking And Its Future In Bangladesh, Jewel Das, Muhammed Ali Shahin
Ship Breaking And Its Future In Bangladesh, Jewel Das, Muhammed Ali Shahin
Journal of Ocean and Coastal Economics
Ship breaking is comparatively a sustainable business, particularly in the developing world, but the conditions where it is practiced is non-sustainable. Ship breaking is the process of dismantling ships and selling their parts - primarily the steel - for scrap. The main impetus for breaking a ship down is that maintenance costs go up as a ship ages. Shipping companies also have to pay port charges, crew salaries and oil fees for their ships, so when they are no longer economically viable they are sold to ship recyclers who strip the old ships down, salvaging anything of value. Bangladesh is …

The Future Navy—Near-Term Applications Of Artificial Intelligence, Christian H. Heller
Naval War College Review
Many examples of task automation using artificial intelligence exist in private industry. The U.S. military has a great opportunity to exploit these developments and adapt them for use throughout the force, particularly in areas such as logistics and administration, freeing up man-hours and resources for other, more-complex activities.
Northwest Pacific—Exploring North Korea’S Asymmetric Military Strategy, Mirko Tasic
Northwest Pacific—Exploring North Korea’S Asymmetric Military Strategy, Mirko Tasic
Naval War College Review
North Korea’s military strategy can be difficult to decipher, but it should not be regarded as irrational or insignificant. Over the past decade, the North Korean regime has taken deliberate steps to increase its asymmetric military capabilities, giving credence to the argument that North Korea is engaging in offensive posturing, not simply defensive buildup.

Human Rights, Environmental Justice, Social Justice, Faith Values And Ethics: Building Stronger Partnerships For The Common Good By Understanding The Differences, Theresa Harris, Leanne M. Jablonski, Sarah Fortner, Malcolm Daniels
Biennial Conference: The Social Practice of Human Rights
Partnerships between human rights practitioners, local communities, scientists, engineers, and health professionals have shown potential to address deeply rooted, systemic human rights concerns. These collaborations are essential for achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and for engaging the perspectives and expertise of all constituents. However, even when the individuals in these partnerships or the organizations they represent have common goals, their motivations, analyses, and solutions often come from different perspectives. Members of good will can inadvertently alienate one another when attempting to work together. The fields of human rights, social justice, environmental justice, and ethics have each developed their …

Traveling Waves In Discrete Models Of Biological Populations With Sessile Stages, Ahlam Harish Alzahrani
Traveling Waves In Discrete Models Of Biological Populations With Sessile Stages, Ahlam Harish Alzahrani
39th Southeastern-Atlantic Regional Conference on Differential Equations (SEARCDE)
This paper deals with the existence of traveling waves for a discrete model of biological population with sessile stages. We discuss the existence of traveling waves when the migration probability may not have density, or if it has density function, the density function may not be continuous. For this end, we impose some conditions that guarantee the monotone property of the evaluation operator, so that we use Monotone Iteration Method.

Faking The News: Antiwar Activists, The Italo-Ethiopian War, And The Practice Of Human Rights, Caroline Waldron Merithew
Biennial Conference: The Social Practice of Human Rights
In “Faking the News,” I bring past and present together to underscore lessons already learned by antifascist antiwar activists from the 1930s. These activists used, what they termed, "Authentic News," to combat the propaganda Benito Mussolini's regime was making up about the Italo-Ethiopian war. How might knowing about how people faked the news,and faked out fascism, in the past shape current and future human rights actions and help us go against the grain today for a better world tomorrow?

Juvenile Hawksbill Residency And Habitat Use Within A Caribbean Marine Protected Area, Thomas H. Selby, Kristen M. Hart, Brian J. Smith, Clayton G. Pollock, Zandy Hillis-Starr, Madan K. Oli
United States National Park Service: Publications
Understanding the spatial ecology of highly mobile marine vertebrates is necessary for informing conservation and management strategies aimed at protecting such species. Buck Island Reef National Monument (BIRNM), off the coast of St. Croix, US Virgin Islands, harbors critical foraging habitat for Critically Endangered juvenile hawksbills Eretmochelys imbricata that exhibit high site fidelity until sexual maturation. Using an array of fixed passive acoustic receivers that covered over 20.2 km2 at its largest configuration and in-water biannual sampling, we analyzed residency patterns and habitat use of 29 hawksbills. High recapture rates allowed for long- term data collection for some individuals, with …

Data From: Kin Grouping Is Insufficient To Explain The Inclusive Fitness Gains Of Conspecific Brood Parasitism In The Common Eider, Samuel Hervey, Andrew Barnas, Tanner Stechmann, Robert Rockwell, Susan N. Ellis-Felege, Brian J. Darby
Data From: Kin Grouping Is Insufficient To Explain The Inclusive Fitness Gains Of Conspecific Brood Parasitism In The Common Eider, Samuel Hervey, Andrew Barnas, Tanner Stechmann, Robert Rockwell, Susan N. Ellis-Felege, Brian J. Darby
Datasets
Conspecific brood parasitism allows females to exploit other females’ nests and enhance their reproductive output. Here, we test a recent theoretical model of how host females gain inclusive fitness from brood parasitism. High levels of relatedness between host and parasitizer can be maintained either by; 1) kin recognizing and parasitizing each other as a form of cooperative breeding or 2) natal philopatry and nest site fidelity facilitating the formation of kin groups increasing the probability of parasitism between relatives nesting in close proximity. To address these two hypotheses we genotyped feathers and hatch membranes of common eiders (Somateria mollissima) from …
The Role Of Sensemaking And Organizational Identification In Employee Engagement For Sustainability, Kent D. Fairfield
The Role Of Sensemaking And Organizational Identification In Employee Engagement For Sustainability, Kent D. Fairfield
Organization Management Journal
This exploratory study examines how sensemaking and organizational identification occur inside an organization and how they can affect how employees engage in managing for sustainability. Qualitative data suggest a positive effect of organizational identification on support for sustainability goals and actions and, conversely, how individual sustainability actions may in turn increase organizational identification. The findings from interviews of a sample of eight companies reveal many different goals, challenges, and means of seeking sustainability. Analysis points toward the dynamics of cognitive and emotional processing across this diverse sample, suggesting implications for practitioners and further research.

Policies aiming to preserve vegetated coastal ecosystems (VCE; tidal marshes, mangroves and seagrasses) to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions require national assessments of blue carbon resources. Here, we present organic carbon (C) storage in VCE across Australian climate regions and estimate potential annual CO2 emission benefits of VCE conservation and restoration. Australia contributes 5–11% of the C stored in VCE globally (70–185 Tg C in aboveground biomass, and 1,055–1,540 Tg C in the upper 1 m of soils). Potential CO2 emissions from current VCE losses are estimated at 2.1–3.1 Tg CO2-e yr-1, increasing annual CO …

Microliths In The South Asian Rainforest ~45-4 Ka: New Insights From Fa-Hien Lena Cave, Sri Lanka, Oshan Wedage, Andrea Picin, James Blinkhorn
KIP Articles
Microliths–small, retouched, often-backed stone tools–are often interpreted to be the product of composite tools, including projectile weapons, and efficient hunting strategies by modern humans. In Europe and Africa these lithic toolkits are linked to hunting of medium- and large-sized game found in grassland or woodland settings, or as adaptations to risky environments during periods of climatic change. Here, we report on a recently excavated lithic assemblage from the Late Pleistocene cave site of Fa-Hien Lena in the tropical evergreen rainforest of Sri Lanka. Our analyses demonstrate that Fa-Hien Lena represents the earliest microlith assemblage in South Asia (c. 48,000–45,000 cal. …

Mite Load Predicts The Quality Of Sexual Color And Locomotor Performance In A Sexually Dichromatic Lizard, Richard W. Orton, Chase T. Kinsey, Lance D. Mcbrayer
Biology: Faculty Publications
Since Darwin, the maintenance of bright sexual colors has recurrently been linked to mate preference. However, the mechanisms underpinning such preferences for bright colors would not be resolved for another century. Likely, the idea of selection for colors that could decrease the chances of survival (e.g., flashy colors that can inadvertently attract predators) was perceived as counterintuitive. It is now widely accepted that these extreme colors often communicate to mates the ability to survive despite a “handicap” and act as honest signals of individual quality when they are correlated with the quality of other traits that are directly linked to …

The success of reef-building corals for >200 million years has been dependent on the mutualistic interaction between the coral host and its photosynthetic endosymbiont dinoflagellates (family Symbiodiniaceae) that supply the coral host with nutrients and energy for growth and calcification. While multiple light scattering in coral tissue and skeleton significantly enhance the light microenvironment for Symbiodiniaceae, the mechanisms of light propagation in tissue and skeleton remain largely unknown due to a lack of technologies to measure the intrinsic optical properties of both compartments in live corals. Here we introduce ISOCT (inverse spectroscopic optical coherence tomography), a non-invasive approach to measure …

Gini Distance Correlation And Feature Selection, Xin Dang
Probability & Statistics Seminar
Big data is becoming ubiquitous in the biological, engineering, geological and social sciences, as well as in government and public policy. Building an interpretable model is an effective way to extract information and to do prediction. However, this task becomes particularly challenging for the scenario of big data, which are large scale and ultra-high dimensional with mixed-type features. A common practice in tackling this challenge is to reduce the number of features under consideration via feature selection by choosing a subset of features that are “relevant" and useful. The work in this talk aims at proposing new dependence measure in …
