Study of Surface Modified Poly(Ethylene) Yarns

Spectra® fibers and fabrics have been treated to enhance surface friction to determine if ballistic penetration resistance of Spectra fabric can be increased with improved interfiber friction. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has shown the extent of surface modification for plasma treated Spectra yarns and the uniformity of coverage for dip-coated yarns and fabrics. Of particular interest is the observation by SEM that plasma gases etch the surface of the polyethylene, producing varying effects on the fiber surface friction. While difficult to measure spectroscopically, the presence of coatings that affect fiber friction are confirmed by SEM

Meta-analysis of nature conservation values in Asia & Oceania: Data heterogeneity and benefit transfer issues

We conduct a meta-analysis (MA) of around 100 studies valuing nature conservation in Asia and Oceania. Dividing our dataset into two levels of heterogeneity in terms of good characteristics (endangered species vs. nature conservation more generally) and valuation methods, we show that the degree of regularity and conformity with theory and empirical expectations is higher for the more homogenous dataset of contingent valuation of endangered species. For example, we find that willingness to pay (WTP) for preservation of mammals tends to be higher than other species and that WTP for species preservation increases with income. Increasing the degree of heterogeneity in the valuation data, however, preserves much of the regularity, and the explanatory power of some of our models is in the range of other MA studies of goods typically assumed to be more homogenous (such as water quality). Subjecting our best MA models to a simple test forecasting values for out-of-sample observations, shows median (mean) forecasting errors of 24 (46) percent for endangered species and 46 (89) percent for nature conservation more generally, approaching levels that may be acceptable in benefit transfer for policy use. We recommend that the most prudent MA practice is to control for heterogeneity in regressions and sensitivity analysis, rather than to limit datasets by non-transparent criteria to a level of heterogeneity deemed acceptable to the individual analyst. However, the trade-off will always be present and the issue of acceptable level of heterogeneity in MA is far from settle
