Challenges and Prospects of Fisheries Co-Management under a Marine Extractive Reserve Framework in Northeastern Brazil

In Brazil, Marine Extractive Reserves—MERs (Reservas Extrativistas Marinhas) represent the most significant government-supported effort to protect the common property resources upon which traditional small-scale fishers depend. From an initial small-scale experience in 1992, MERs have expanded countrywide, now encompassing 30 units (9,700 km²) and nearly 60,000 fishers. Despite such escalating interest in the model, there is little research on the effectiveness of MERs. In this article, we discuss relevant parts of the history and examine the current situation of the fisheries co-management initiative in the Marine Extractive Reserve of Corumbau, which was created in 2000 as the first MER to encompass coral reefs and reef fisheries. We describe the Extractive Reserve co-management arrangement and its main policy and legislative challenges. Finally, we discuss the prospects for the use of MERs as management frameworks for traditional small-scale fisheries in Brazil.

爆炸消除焊接残余应力的数值模拟

焊接残余应力及其控制技术是重大工程结构物(例如反应堆、潜艇等)建造中关注的核心问题之一。爆炸法消除残余应力是近年来发展起来的高效、低成本的1种新技术,但对其机理的研究仍然相当缺乏。本文利用非线性有限元软件ABAQUS对爆炸消除焊接残余应力技术进行了数值模拟,同时考察了焊缝中夹杂的裂纹缺陷对爆炸载荷的响应。研究对象为70 mm厚的超厚钢板对接焊缝,焊接坡口为X型。本文主要完成了以下2项研究工作。1)将盲孔法测得的焊接残余应力分布预置到模型中,计算了爆炸载荷作用下不同布药方式时焊接残余应力的再分布,并将其与对应的实测结果进行比较。研究结果表明,金属材料的塑性流动是爆炸消除焊接残余应力的根本因素。2)在模型的焊缝区引入面状裂纹来表征焊缝中的凝固裂纹,利用ABAQUS用户自定义子程序开发的基于虚拟裂纹闭合法的三维断裂单元,计算能量释放率对爆炸载荷的响应。研究结果表明,爆炸载荷并不一定会导致裂纹的扩展。因此,本文的研究方法和结果对于爆炸消除焊接残余应力在工程应用领域具有指导意义。     

National policy towards cars: the Netherlands

This paper describes the historical development of Dutch motorization after the Second World War and the policy of the Dutch Government towards the car. Developments are presented in a context of population growth and changes in population structure, in the economic situation, and in land use. Trends in the use of public transport and the bicycle are also highlighted. Special attention is given to the economic recession and the rise of unemployment since 1980.     

A practical assessment of stated preferences methods

Stated preferences data in the form of rankings, ratings and choices were collected in Santiago and discrete choice models estimated with them. The models were compared in terms of accuracy v/s the cost of obtaining the information and models. All methods produced reasonable but different models and fairly close subjective values of time. In terms of production costs the ranking method was a clear looser although the experimental design was slightly biased against it. Finally, the use of computerised interviews is highly recommended particularly for dealing with low income people.

The changing role of ports in supply-chain management: an empirical analysis

As integrated supply-chain management (SCM) is now at the epicentre of business transformation, firms are breaking down boundaries between internal functions, as well as between the enterprise itself and key partners in the value chain (e.g. customers, distributors, suppliers and carriers). One of the main goals of such new management approach is to get everyone in the supply chain into a common platform of logistics transactions and information systems.

Against such background, the aim of this work is to analyse how and if port operators can face the challenge of higher integration, on the assumption that the higher the integration between the actors the higher the competitiveness of the whole supply chain.

Accordingly, we adopted an SCM approach in the analysis of the port of Le Havre in Renault's supply chain. More specifically, we referred to the Lambert tri-dimensional model based on supply chain's structure (actors), key business processes and links between actors. The field work—which mainly consisted of semi-structured interviews to Renault, logistics and port operators, and, finally, to the Le Havre Port Authority—was crucial to gather the needed information.
