Conservation Priorities when Species Interact: The Noah's Ark Metaphor Revisited
This note incorporates ecological interactions into the Noah's Ark problem. In doing so, we arrive at a general model for ranking in situ conservation projects accounting for species interrelations and provide an operational cost-effectiveness method for the selection of best preserving diversity projects under a limited budget constraint.
متن کاملNoah A . Smith . Ellipsis Happens , and Deletion Is How NOAH
I offer an overview of recent literature on ellipsis phenomena in natural language, including the most salient empirical arguments surrounding the classification of ellipsis as a phenomenon of the Phonological Form or of the Logical Form. I show that the majority of evidence supports the view of ellipsis as PF-deletion rather than LF-copying. I then give a theoretical argument that supports thi...
متن کاملThe Noah's Ark Problem
This paper is about the economic theory of biodiversity preservation. A cost-effectiveness methodology is constructed, which results in a particular formula that can be used as a criterion to rank projects. The ranking criterion is sufficiently operational to be useful in suggesting what to look at when determining actual conservation priorities among endangered species. At the same time, the f...
متن کاملNoah Snyder : Teaching Statement
I have long enjoyed teaching, and have had a wide variety of teaching jobs over the past dozen years. I’ve worked in many different capacities at summer math programs for nine summers, I taught a sophomore tutorial at Harvard, I’ve given over 30 seminar talks at Berkeley, and I taught four sections of Calculus at U.C. Berkeley. Beyond a general interest in teaching, I have strong particular int...
متن کاملNoah Snyder And
We introduce the notion of a half-ribbon Hopf algebra, which is a Hopf algebra H along with a distinguished element t ∈ H such that (H, R,C) is a ribbon Hopf algebra, where R = (t ⊗ t)∆(t) and C = t. The element t is closely related to the topological ‘half-twist’, which twists a ribbon by 180 degrees. We construct a functor from a topological category of ribbons with half-twists to the categor...
