Sustainable management of elasmobranchs in complex coastal fisheries by Gupta, T

“…I investigated the ecological sustainability of a small-scale blacktip shark fishery, combining data from multiple sources including knowledge from fishers, and found that harvest rates need to be reduced to at least half for sustainability. Finally, I used participatory methods to explore potential conservation strategies and found that voluntary live release measures may be promising for rhino rays, whereas for blacktip sharks a complete exit from the fishery, through a combination of community-based agreements and state enforcement, may be the only option. …”

Geometric Event-Based Quantum Mechanics by Giovannetti, Vittorio, Lloyd, Seth, Maccone, Lorenzo

“…Textbook relativistic quantum mechanics and quantum field theory can be recovered by dividing the event Hilbert spaces into space and time (a foliation) and then conditioning the event states onto the time part. Our theory satisfies the full Lorentz symmetry as a ‘geometric’ unitary transformation, and possesses relativistic observables for space (location of an event) and time (position in time of an event).…”
