Marketing characteristics of Oregon's fresh frozen shrimp industry
This work consolidates from many sources features of the fresh frozen shrimp industry in terms of its product volume, value, growth trends and position relative to other Oregon seafood commodities. Market structure and functions are described as the product moves from the fisherman through the processor, broker, wholesaler and retailer to the consumer. There is brief speculation on needs for future studies of marketing

A preliminary fishery quality index for Portuguese streams
There is a need to quantify the multivariate quality of a recreational fishery at the site scale to
better communicate the relative quality among sites to the public and anglers. Borrowing on the general
approach of multimetric indices of biotic integrity (IBIs), we developed fishery quality indices (FQIs) from
species quality indices (SQIs) based on measures of fish abundance and size structure for northern and central
Portuguese streams. Our FQIs showed regional patterns indicating a range in fishery quality. Higher coldwater
FQI scores were mostly found in the northwestern (Minho and Lima), northeastern Douro, and northern Tagus
basins. Higher warmwater FQI scores occurred in the eastern Tagus basin. The species that contributed the
most to warmwater FQI scores were largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides, pumpkinseed Lepomis
gibbosus, the cyprinid Luciobarbus bocagei, chubs Squalius carolitertii and S. pyrenaicus, and nases
Pseudochondrostoma duriense and P. polylepis. The chubs, nases, and brown trout Salmo trutta contributed
the most to coldwater FQI scores. As expected, our indices were correlated with river size and with
disturbance at the catchment, segment, and site scales. Regression models for separate coldwater and
warmwater FQIs were stronger than those for the individual SQIs and for an all-site FQI. The correlation was
positive between the coldwater FQI and a coldwater IBI but negative between the warmwater FQI and
warmwater IBIs. The proposed FQIs offer a quantitative approach for assessing relative fishery quality among
sites and for making regional assessments given an appropriate study design. The component SQIs and SQI
metrics of the FQIs can be disassociated to determine the population and species characteristics most affected
by various environmental variables
Artificial Intelligence for the Electron Ion Collider (AI4EIC)
The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), a state-of-the-art facility for studying the
strong force, is expected to begin commissioning its first experiments in 2028.
This is an opportune time for artificial intelligence (AI) to be included from
the start at this facility and in all phases that lead up to the experiments.
The second annual workshop organized by the AI4EIC working group, which
recently took place, centered on exploring all current and prospective
application areas of AI for the EIC. This workshop is not only beneficial for
the EIC, but also provides valuable insights for the newly established ePIC
collaboration at EIC. This paper summarizes the different activities and R&D
projects covered across the sessions of the workshop and provides an overview
of the goals, approaches and strategies regarding AI/ML in the EIC community,
as well as cutting-edge techniques currently studied in other experiments.Comment: 27 pages, 11 figures, AI4EIC workshop, tutorials and hackatho

The Effectiveness of Incarceration-Based Drug Treatment on Criminal Behavior: A Systematic Review
Many, if not most, incarcerated offenders have substance abuse problems. Without effective treatment, these substance-abusing offenders are likely to persist in non-drug offending. The period of incarceration offers an opportunity to intervene in the cycle of drug abuse and crime. Although many types of incarceration-based drug treatment programs are available (e.g., therapeutic communities and group counseling), the effectiveness of these programs is unclear. The objective of this research synthesis is to systematically review quasi-experimental and experimental (RCT) evaluations of the effectiveness of incarceration-based drug treatment programs in reducing post-release recidivism and drug relapse. A secondary objective of this synthesis is to examine variation in effectiveness by programmatic, sample, and methodological features. In this update of the original 2006 review (see Mitchell, Wilson, and MacKenzie, 2006), studies made available since the original review were included in an effort to keep current with emerging research. This synthesis of evaluations of incarceration-based drug treatment programs found that such programs are modestly effective in reducing recidivism. These findings most strongly support the effectiveness of therapeutic communities, as these programs produced relatively consistent reductions in recidivism and drug use. Both counseling and incarceration-based narcotic maintenance programs had mixed effects. Counseling programs were associated with reductions in recidivism but not drug use; whereas, incarceration-based narcotic maintenance programs were associated with reductions in drug use but not recidivism. Note that our findings regarding the effectiveness of incarceration-based narcotic maintenance programs differ from a larger review of community-based narcotic maintenance programs (see Egli, Pina, Christensen, Aebi, and Killias, 2009). Finally, boot camp programs for drug offenders had negligible effects on both recidivism and drug use
