A survey of recreational boat-based and shore-based fishing in the Swan-Canning Estuary Basin was conducted between August 1998 and July 1999. During the survey 1,302 interviews were conducted at boat ramps. The majority of these (62%) were not involved in fishing or crabbing activities, with a further 18 per cent fishing in the adjacent ocean. Of the remainder, 139 boats had been crabbing and ...

Most literature searching in biomedicine is now conducted via PubMed, Google Scholar or other web-based bibliographic search mechanisms. Yet until now a public, open, interoperable and complete web-adapted information schema for bibliographic citations, bibliographic references and scientific discourse has not been available. Such a schema, expressed in the form of a description logic compatibl...

Network Verification is a form of model checking in which a model of the network is checked for properties stated using a specification language. Existing network verification tools lack a general specification language and hardcode the network model. Hence they cannot, for example, model policies at a high level of abstraction. Neither can they model dynamic networks; even a simple packet form...

1. introduction as strongly accepted among climatologists, climate change is a result of human activities. there is disagreement about how to define climate change, because of tremendous difference of climate changes in scale, intensity and occurrence time in various regions. recently there have been several observation analyses involving daily and extreme daily temperature trend and variabilit...

People with profound intellectual and multiple disability (PIMD) have a combination of severe extensive physical impairment, which limits their access to health-promoting enjoyable activities, such as dance. For people PIMD participate in dance, there is need for adjustments support. Thus, bring dance music into everyday life, the Structured Water Dance Intervention (SWAN) was developed Sweden....

In this paper we present the approach we have used to determine and account for the anisoplanatic point spread function (PSF) in deep adaptive optics (AO) images for the Survey of a Wide Area with NACO (SWAN) at the ESO VLT. The survey comprises adaptive optics observations in the Ks band totaling ∼ 30 arcmin , assembled from 42 discrete fields centered on different bright stars suitable for AO...

Over the past 30 years, economic activity has become less volatile in most G-7 countries. In the United States, for example, the standard deviation of the growth rate of GDP averaged over four quarters was one-third less during 1984 to 2002 than it was during 1960 to 1983. This decline in volatility is widespread across sectors within the United States and is also found in the other G-7 economi...

This paper describes our work towards the implementation of MAD SWAN, an open-source web-based application that comprises a web service registry, an XML editor, as well as manual and automatic web service composition modules. MAD SWAN supports various stages of web service composition and tackles the inherent non-determinism of the domain.

Ocean waves are widely estimated using physics-based computational models, which predict how energy is transferred from the wind, dissipated, and spatially across ocean. Machine learning methods offer an opportunity to these data with significantly reduced input power. This paper describes a novel surrogate model developed random forest method, replicates spatial nearshore wave by Simulating WA...
