Global Management Effectiveness Study: Integrated Social and Ecological Report for Non-node and Node Sites
The purpose of this study is to provide a critical assessment of the implementation, impact, and performance of Marine Managed Area (MMA) projects to serve as a basis for improved planning and implementation of new MMA projects worldwide. The specific objectives of the study are (1) to determine the socioeconomic, governance and ecological effects of MMAs; (2) to determine the critical factors influencing MMA effects, as well as the impact of the timing of those factors on the effects of the MMA; and (3) to provide tools for predicting MMA effects based on ecological, socioeconomic and governance variable
Measurement Of Quasiparticle Transport In Aluminum Films Using Tungsten Transition-Edge Sensors
We report new experimental studies to understand the physics of phonon
sensors which utilize quasiparticle diffusion in thin aluminum films into
tungsten transition-edge-sensors (TESs) operated at 35 mK. We show that basic
TES physics and a simple physical model of the overlap region between the W and
Al films in our devices enables us to accurately reproduce the experimentally
observed pulse shapes from x-rays absorbed in the Al films. We further estimate
quasiparticle loss in Al films using a simple diffusion equation approach.Comment: 5 pages, 6 figures, PRA
