Underwater sound is modelled and mapped for purposes ranging from localised environmental impact assessments of individual offshore developments to large-scale marine spatial planning. As the area be increases, so does computational effort. The effort more easily handled if broken down into smaller regions that could separately their results merged. goal our study was split Australian maritime ...

How large are the bene…ts of Special Economic Zones and what are the channels of these bene…ts? To shed some light on these questions, I collect a unique dataset of Chinese municipality economic statistics from 1978 to 2007 and use it to evaluate the impact of a Special Economic Zone experiment aimed at attracting foreign direct investment. Guided by three predictions from a theoretical model, ...

We study the influence of the symmetries of competing microstructures on the emergence of different mesoscopic morphologies in the growth by vapor deposition of thin solid films. We show the results of numerical simulations in (1+1) - and (2+1) -dimensional systems including different microstructures, as well as thermally activated surface diffusion in combination with a ballistic algorithm to ...

1. introduction seas and oceans comprise over 70 percent of the planet earth always taken into attention in the history. however, the most important official and legal actions to regularize a number of claims made by coastal countries regarding the demand of the territorial and marine control and exclusive ownership date the 20th century. the first conference on marine international law was hel...
