The sinking of the oil tanker the Prestige in November 2002 off the coast of Galicia in Spain had an
important social, environmental and economic impact. The aim of this paper is to carry out an initial
analysis of the costs relating to a halt in the activity of an...
The aim of this work is to develop a predator-prey model for two species of commercial importance captured by the European fishing fleet in the European Grounds. In this model, the hake (Merluccius merluccius) represents the predator, and the blue whiting (Micromesistius poutassou) is the prey. Both the predator and...

The european markets for some products are strongly regulated by production and price instruments. In the
fishing case, the mayority of instruments are adopted in cetralized way from experts who can only with difficulty consider
the market pecularities for some species at a national, regional or local level in their...
A comparative study of three six-axis force sensors selected after an extensive literature survey is presented. A sensor to measure ground contact force at each foot of a walking machine is recommended.
Principles of force sensing are reviewed and characteristics of sensing elements are discussed. Results of simulation of three...
In the past, archaeological investigations have recovered material culture that have often been stored as museum property without a focused analysis or written report of the results. This study focuses on one such assemblage ofchipped stone projectile points from the Bachman Cave locality of southwestern Idaho that has been stored...
The European Union has set 2021 as the deadline for having a marine spatial plan in place for all its members. Despite the substantial literature analysing the last four decades of MSP implementation worldwide, the quantification of its economic effects remains at early stages. This presentation presents a methodological approach...
Mat-forming “ground layers” of mosses and lichens often have functional impacts disproportionate to their biomass, and are responsible for sequestering one-third of the world's terrestrial carbon as they regulate water tables, cool soils and inhibit microbial decomposition. Without reliable assessment tools, the potential effects of climate and land use changes...
