Contagious exploitation of marine resources

Rape and Run in Maluku: Exploitation of Living Marine Resources in Eastern Indonesia

The islands of eastern Indonesia are projected to experience the most rapid human population growth in the Indonesian archipelago within the next few decades, and development associated with this growth will exert increased pressure on the living marine resources there. Unfortunately, rampant exploitation of many of these resources is already occurring, as short-term economic gain takes precede...

Optimal cyclic exploitation of renewable resources

The paper contributes to the topic of optimal utilization of spatially distributed renewable resources. Namely, a problem of “sustainable” optimal cyclic exploitation of a renewable resource with logistic law of recovery is investigated. The resource is distributed on a circle and is collected by a single harvester moving along the circle. The recovering and harvesting rates are position-depend...

Rational Exploitation and Conservation of Marine Ecosystems

Neanderthal exploitation of marine mammals in Gibraltar.

Two coastal sites in Gibraltar, Vanguard and Gorham's Caves, located at Governor's Beach on the eastern side of the Rock, are especially relevant to the study of Neanderthals. Vanguard Cave provides evidence of marine food supply (mollusks, seal, dolphin, and fish). Further evidence of marine mammal remains was also found in the occupation levels at Gorham's Cave associated with Upper Paleolith...

Integrated Linguistic Resources for Language Exploitation Technologies

Linguistic Data Consortium has recently embarked on an effort to create integrated linguistic resources and related infrastructure for language exploitation technologies within the DARPA GALE (Global Autonomous Language Exploitation) Program. GALE targets an end-to-end system consisting of three major engines: Transcription, Translation and Distillation. Multilingual speech or text from a varie...
