Upstream passage and attempt behaviour at a sloping weir by migrating adult river lamprey: are studded tiles effective in improving longitudinal connectivity?

The performance of weir-mounted studded tiles for passing upstream-migrating lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis) was compared with unmodified parts of a Crump flow-gauging weir and with use of a bottom-baffle fishway on the River Derwent, Northeast England. Equidistantly-studded tiles were fixed horizontally on the weir face near the right bank, forming a 1m-wide treatment lane, neighboured by a tileless control lane. A bottom-baffle fishway was present at the right bank, alongside a hydropower tailrace. Two further left-bank controls enabled, together with right-side controls, comparison of lamprey attraction relative to the dominant flow on the right side. Downstream and upstream ends of the right-hand weir-face lanes and of the fishway, downstream ends of the left-hand weir face lanes, and the entrance of the hydropower tailrace area were instrumented with PIT antennas (n=9 total). Of 395 PIT-tagged lamprey, over 10 release sessions in early winter 2017 (turbines on for 21/43 days), 363 (91.9%) were detected at any of the antennas (mean ± SD minimum delay: 14.8 ± 8.9 days). All lamprey detected at the left-bank antennas (attraction efficiency AE: 255/395 (64.6%)) were detected elsewhere also. The fishway was ineffective (AE: 343/395 (86.8%); passage efficiency PE: 5/343 (1.5%)). However, overall passage using the studded-tile corridor doubled (44/395 cf22/395) relative to the adjacent bare weir-face route (AE tiled lane: 172/395 (43.5%); PE tiled lane: 44/172 (25.6%) - AE control lane: 257/395 (65.1%); PE control lane: 22/257 (8.6%)). Fewer PIT detections were logged at the turbine tailrace and fishway entrance, respectively, when turbines were on (n=441 and n=700; median [range] river discharge turbines-on: 18.7 [10.5-36.3] m3 s-1) compared to turbines-off conditions (n=1005 and n=2457; discharge: 36.2 [10.4-52.3] m3 s-1). While improved passage efficiency was achieved using surface-mounted studded tiles, further in situ evaluations are needed to optimize their performance

Assessing the Feasibility of an Aerotropolis Around Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, Technical Report

This report provides an assessment of the feasibility of developing an aerotropolis around Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, Cleveland, Ohio. The report describes the methodology used to assess the feasibility, notes the needs and expectations of community stakeholders, profiles the challenges and successes of six emerging and potential U.S. aerotropolises, and discusses the operating experiences and challenges of 12 additional U.S. airports. Further, this report describes the demographic and economic aspects of the study cities, and discusses potential target industry opportunities. The findings suggest that it is feasible to develop CLE as an aerotropolis, and that CLE may not be suited for an aerotropolis as practiced at other domestic and international airports. Rather, the concept itself may be the platform for moving forward with a defined, staged strategy for development surrounding CLE and should be viewed as an opportunity to develop the concept to specifically fit the region and its economic circumstance

What Should EDA Fund? Developing a Model for Pre-Assessment of Economic Development Investments

This paper describes the completion of a comprehensive study of regionalism that was conducted by a joint team of economists and economic development specialists for the Economic Development Administration (EDA). The project consisted of two main activities: an examination of the factors associated with economic development success and the creation of a practical interactive tool for EDA project assessment and comparison. Findings from surveys, interviews, and project case studies are discussed in terms of their support for a positive relationship between successful economic development efforts and factors such as leadership and private investment. Also, the authors discuss the creation of a quantitative assessment model utilizing well-known approaches such as economic impact multipliers and cluster theory. The primary contribution of this work to the existing body of EDA-focused research and evaluation literature is introducing a means of using standardized scores, also known as z-scores, to compare and assess economic development projects across both industries and regions
