Shifting Schedules

Rapidly shifting maturation schedules following reduced commercial harvest in a freshwater fish

Size-selective harvest of fish stocks can lead to maturation at smaller sizes and younger ages, which may depress stock productivity and recovery. Such changes in maturation may be very slow to reverse, even following complete fisheries closures. We evaluated temporal trends in maturation of five Great Lakes stocks of yellow perch (Perca flavescens Mitchill) using indices that attempt to disent...

Shifting Sugars and Shifting Paradigms

No organism lives in a constant environment. Based on classical studies in molecular biology, many have viewed microbes as following strict rules for shifting their metabolic activities when prevailing conditions change. For example, students learn that the bacterium Escherichia coli makes proteins for digesting lactose only when lactose is available and glucose, a better sugar, is not. However...

Optimal Schedules for LandingAircraftJ

In this paper we describe two approaches for solving the problem of scheduling aircraft landing times. In this problem, the air traac controller must compute a landing time for each aircraft in the horizon, and must attempt to minimise costs whilst observing a number of hard constraints. The costs are associated with aircraft landing times varying from the preferred landing time. The hard const...
