Management Strategy Evaluation for the Atlantic Surfclam (Spisula solidissima) Using a Spatially Explicit, Vessel-Based Fisheries Model
The commercially valuable Atlantic surfclam (Spisula solidissima) is harvested along the northeastern continental shelf of the United States. Its range has contracted and shifted north, driven by warmer bottom water temperatures. Declining landings per unit of effort (LPUE) in the Mid-Atlantic Bight (MAB) is one result. Declining stock abundance and LPUE suggest that overfishing may be occurring off New Jersey. A management strategy evaluation (MSE) for the Atlantic surfclam is implemented to evaluate rotating closures to enhance Atlantic surfclam productivity and increase fishery viability in the MAB. Active agents of the MSE model are individual fishing vessels with performance and quota constraints influenced by captains\u27 behavior over a spatially varying population. Management alternatives include 2 rules regarding closure locations and 3 rules regarding closure durations. Simulations showed that stock biomass increased, up to 17%, under most alternative strategies in relation to estimated stock biomass under present- day management, and LPUE increased under most alternative strategies, by up to 21%. When incidental mortality caused by the fishery increased, the benefits seen under the alternative management were enhanced. These outcomes suggest that area management involving rotating closures could be valuable in insulating the stock and the commercial fishery from further declines as a northerly shift in range proceeds
Vectorial Control of Magnetization by Light
Coherent light-matter interactions have recently extended their applications
to the ultrafast control of magnetization in solids. An important but
unrealized technique is the manipulation of magnetization vector motion to make
it follow an arbitrarily designed multi-dimensional trajectory. Furthermore,
for its realization, the phase and amplitude of degenerate modes need to be
steered independently. A promising method is to employ Raman-type nonlinear
optical processes induced by femtosecond laser pulses, where magnetic
oscillations are induced impulsively with a controlled initial phase and an
azimuthal angle that follows well defined selection rules determined by the
materials' symmetries. Here, we emphasize the fact that temporal variation of
the polarization angle of the laser pulses enables us to distinguish between
the two degenerate modes. A full manipulation of two-dimensional magnetic
oscillations is demonstrated in antiferromagnetic NiO by employing a pair of
polarization-twisted optical pulses. These results have lead to a new concept
of vectorial control of magnetization by light
Nonlinear magnetoinductive transmission lines
Power transmission in one-dimensional nonlinear magnetic metamaterials driven
at one end is investigated numerically and analytically in a wide frequency
range. The nonlinear magnetic metamaterials are composed of varactor-loaded
split-ring resonators which are coupled magnetically through their mutual
inductances, forming thus a magnetoiductive transmission line. In the linear
limit, significant power transmission along the array only appears for
frequencies inside the linear magnetoinductive wave band. We present
analytical, closed form solutions for the magnetoinductive waves transmitting
the power in this regime, and their discrete frequency dispersion. When
nonlinearity is important, more frequency bands with significant power
transmission along the array may appear. In the equivalent circuit picture, the
nonlinear magnetoiductive transmission line driven at one end by a relatively
weak electromotive force, can be modeled by coupled
resistive-inductive-capacitive (RLC) circuits with voltage-dependent
capacitance. Extended numerical simulations reveal that power transmission
along the array is also possible in other than the linear frequency bands,
which are located close to the nonlinear resonances of a single nonlinear RLC
circuit. Moreover, the effectiveness of power transmission for driving
frequencies in the nonlinear bands is comparable to that in the linear band.
Power transmission in the nonlinear bands occurs through the linear modes of
the system, and it is closely related to the instability of a mode that is
localized at the driven site.Comment: 11 pages, 11 figures, submitted to International Journal of

Substitution Effect by Deuterated Donors on Superconductivity in -(BEDT-TTF)Cu[N(CN)]Br
We investigate the superconductivity in the deuterated BEDT-TTF molecular
substitution system
-[(h8-BEDT-TTF)(d8-BEDT-TTF)]Cu[N(CN)]Br, where h8
and d8 denote fully hydrogenated and deuterated molecules, respectively.
Systematic and wide range ( = 0 -- 1) substitution can control chemical
pressure finely near the Mott boundary, which results in the modification of
the superconductivity. After cooling slowly, the increase of
observed up to 0.1 is evidently caused by the chemical pressure
effect. Neither reduction of nor suppression of
superconducting volume fraction is found below 0.5. This demonstrates
that the effect of disorder by substitution is negligible in the present
system. With further increase of , both and superconducting
volume fraction start to decrease toward the values in = 1.Comment: J. Phys. Soc. Jp

Quality assurance grading guidelines for research and development at DOE facilities. DOE Order 5700.6C
The quality assurance (QA) requirements for the US Department of Energy (DOE) are established in DOE Order 5700.6C. This order is applicable for all DOE departmental elements, management, and maintenance and operating contractors and requires that documented Quality Assurance Programs (QAPS) are prepared at all levels; it has one attachment. The DOE Office of Energy Research (DOE-ER) has issued a standard to ensure implementation of the full intent of this order in the ER community. This report discusses order 5700.6C in relation to research with DOE
