An integrative review of 121 recent studies on collecting and utilising local ecological knowledge (LEK) for fisheries science and management suggests that insufficient attention is given either to conceptualising LEK or to the critical issue of how LEK is defined. Elements from knowledge management guided the analysis. Résumé : Une revue intégrant 121 études récentes traitant de la collecte et...

STIS Echelle Blaze Shift Correction

Planned offsets of the STIS Mode Select Mechanism (MSM) result in changes to the nominal calibration curves, particularly noticeable in the echelle modes. The spectral wave calibration exposures (wavecals) obtained with each observation can be used to predict a simple, linear offset of the nominal calibration curve to be used for each MSM shift. In addition, a time dependent variation has been ...

Decision making for natural resource management, such as forest management, park management, and marine habitat management, requires complex and science-intensive balancing acts that weigh human and environmental considerations. These management decisions are characterized by both the potential for substantial gains and the risk of negative environmental consequences. Despite the inherent uncer...

The Blaze Family of Languages Programming Parallel Architectures: T H E Blaze Family of Languages

Programming multiprocessor architectures is a critical research issue. This paper gives a n overview of the various approaches to programming these architectures that are currently being explored. We argue that two of these approaches, interactive programming environments and functional parallel languages, are particularly attractive, since they remove much of the burden of exploiting parallel ...
