Monitoring Benthic AIgal Communides:A Comparison of Targeted and Coefficient Sampling Methods

Edwards, Matthew S.,Tinker, Martin T. The Korean Society of Phycology 2009 ALGAE Vol.24 No.2

Choosing an appropriate sample unit is a fundamental decision in the design of ecological studies. While numer-ous methods have been developed to estimate organism abundance, they differ in cost, accuracy and precision.Using both field data and computer simulation modeling, we evaluated the costs and benefits associated with twomethods commonly used to sample benthic organisms in temperatc kelp forests. One of these methods, theTargeted Sampling method, relies on different sample units, each "targeted" for a specific species or group ofspecies while the other method relies on coefficients that represent ranges of bottom cover obtained from visual esti-mates within standardized sample units. Both the field data and the computer simulations suggest that both meth-ods yield remarkably similar estimates of organisnm abundance and among-site variability, although the Coefficientmethod slightly underestimates variability armong sample units when abundances are low. In contrast, the twomethods differ considerably in the effort needed to sample these communities; the Targeted Sampling requiresmore time and twice the persormel to complete. We conclude that the Coeffident Sampling metliod may be bettcrfor environmental monitoring programs where changes in mean abundance are of central conccm and resources arelimiting, but that the Targeted sampling methods may be better for ecological studies where quantitative reIation-ships among species and small-scale variability in abundance are of central concern.

THE LONG BASELINE ARRAY

EDWARDS, PHILIP G.,PHILLIPS, CHRIS The Korean Astronomical Society 2015 天文學論叢 Vol.30 No.2

The Long Baseline Array is an array of radio telescopes using the technique of Very Long Baseline Interferometry to achieve milli-arcsecond-scale angular resolution. The core telescopes are located in Australia, with telescopes in New Zealand and South Africa also participating regularly. In this paper the capabilities of the Long Baseline Array are described, and examples of the science undertaken with the array are given.

REAL EXCHANGE RATE VARIABILITY : AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS OF THE DEVELOPING COUNTRIES CASE

EDWARDS, SEBASTIAN 한국국제경제학회 1987 International Economic Journal Vol.1 No.1

In this paper the relative importance of real and monetary factors in explaining recent real exchange rate, variability in developing countries have been investigated. The empirical evidence shows that in the last 15 years or so real exchange rate variability has increased significantly However, the degree of real exchange rate variability has been quite uneven across countries, with some countries experiencing variability almost ten times higher than others. In theory, long-run equilibrium real exchange rates depend on the behavior of a number of real variables including the terms of trade and the degree of openness of the economy [Mussa (1984)]. In the shorter run, however, real exchange rate movements will also be affected by monetary disturbances, including the instability of the nominal monetary policy. From a policy point of view it is important to determine the extent to which actual real exchange rate variability stems from monetary and real disturbances. If nominal policy-induced instability has been an important cause of real exchange rate variability, some policy options may be open to reduce it. In this paper data an a group of developing countries were used to investigate and assess the relative importance of monetary and real factors. The analysis focused both on long-wave and short-term variability The results, contrary to previous findings, indicate that real exchange rate variability has been caused both by monetary and real disturbances. with real variables being relatively more important in the explanation of long-wave instability and nominal variables playing a more prominent role in case of short-term instability. In terms of real disturbances the most prominent has been external terms of trade variability, which was found to have played an important role in the determination of long-run real exchange rate instability. In the shorter run, however, it was found that no real variable had been important. Regarding monetary disturbances, this study indicates that nominal exchange rate instability has been the major and more persistent source of short-term real exchange rate instability in this group of countries. From a policy perspective these results are important. They suggest that a stable nominal exchange rate policy will help to substantially reduce real exchange rate variability. There are a number of ways to reduce the degree of instability of the nominal exchange rate, including the adoption of any variant of crawling-peg systems. On the other hand, it is well known that nominal exchange rate instability is greatly enhanced by the adoption of a flexible rate system [Frenkel and Mussa (1982)]. To the extent that policymakers want to reduce real exchange rate variability, the result reported in this paper cautions them against adopting a floating rate system.

Q-MEASURES ON THE DUAL UNIT BALL OF A JB^⁎-TRIPLE

Edwards, C. Martin,Oliveira, Lina Korean Mathematical Society 2019 대한수학회지 Vol.56 No.1

Let A be a $JB^*$-triple with Banach dual space $A^*$ and bi-dual the $JBW^*$-triple $A^{**}$. Elements x of $A^*$ of norm one may be regarded as normalised 'Q-measures' defined on the complete ortho-lattice ${\tilde{\mathcal{U}}}(A^{**})$ of tripotents in $A^{**}$. A Q-measure x possesses a support e(x) in ${\tilde{\mathcal{U}}}(A^{**})$ and a compact support $e_c(x)$ in the complete atomic lattice ${\tilde{\mathcal{U}}}_c(A)$ of elements of ${\tilde{\mathcal{U}}}(A^{**})$ compact relative to A. Necessary and sufficient conditions for an element v of ${\tilde{\mathcal{U}}}_c(A)$ to be a compact support tripotent $e_c(x)$ are given, one of which is related to the Q-covering numbers of v by families of elements of ${\tilde{\mathcal{U}}}_c(A)$.

Immunogenic inhibition of prominent ruminal bacteria as a means to reduce lipolysis and biohydrogenation activity in vitro

Edwards, H.D.,Shelver, W.L.,Choi, S.,Nisbet, D.J.,Krueger, N.A.,Anderson, R.C.,Smith, S.B. Applied Science Publishers 2017 Food chemistry Vol.218 No.-

Lipolysis and biohydrogenation in ruminal animals promote the accumulation of saturated fatty acids in their meat and milk. Antibodies were generated against key ruminal lipase contributors Anaerovibrio lipolyticus, Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens, Propionibacterium avidum and acnes. An anti-Pseudomonas lipase antibody was generated to determine if an antibody against a purified protein would be more effective. Each bacterium was cultured and assayed without or with increasing levels of each antibody. Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens H17C also participates in biohydrogenation and therefore the antibody was tested to determine if it could effectively reduce biohydrogenation. Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens was assayed without and with the anti-B. fibrisolvens antibody and linoleic or α-linolenic acid. All antibodies were effective at reducing lipolysis with the anti-Pseudomonas lipase averaging a 78% reduction. The anti-B. fibrisolvens showed a tendency for a reduction (P=0.0713) in biohydrogenation products of α-linolenic acid. Results demonstrate that lipolysis and biohydrogenation can be immunologically inhibited in vitro.
