The long-term goal of the CoBOP program, of which this project is a part, is to gain a better understanding of the sources, nature, and variability of upwelling radiance in shallow water. This will include both magnitude and spectral characteristics of the radiance. An additional goal is to understand the relationship of coral fluorescence to environmental stress and the possibility for using i...

This note clarifies the relation between two competing definitions of the contribution to price discovery in market microstructure models: (i) the information share and (ii) the common factor component weight. It is demonstrated that the two measures are closely related, but that only the information share takes into account the variability of the innovations in each market’s price.

The concepts of life and intelligence almost require the system to be adaptive. And adaptivity, in turn, is usually strongly dependent on the continual generation of variations in the system. The paper discusses various ways of producing the required variations, and how to support these production processes.
