Almost all ICES member countries have policies that address the impacts of human activities on marine ecosystems. These policies may explicitly be framed as an implementation of an ecosystem approach. An important example is the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) of the European Union (EC, 2008), which is a comprehensive framework for achieving good environmental status (GES) for Europe...

Recently the authors have explored new concepts of plurisubharmonicity and pseudoconvexity, with much of the attendant analysis, in the context of calibrated manifolds. Here a much broader extension is made. This development covers a wide variety of geometric situations, including, for example, Lagrangian plurisubhamonicity and convexity. It also applies in a number of non-geometric situations....

MOTIVATION Sequence mapping is the cornerstone of modern genomics. However, most existing sequence mapping algorithms are insufficiently general. RESULTS We introduce context schemes: a method that allows the unambiguous recognition of a reference base in a query sequence by testing the query for substrings from an algorithmically defined set. Context schemes only map when there is a unique b...
