鲐(Scomberjaponicus)是西北太平洋海域重要的渔业种类,该渔业涉及多个国家的多种作业方式,渔业形势较复杂,但目前西北太平洋海域尚无基于资源评估的、完善的鲐养护管理措施。本研究使用传统渔业管理方法(资源预测)和较新颖的方法[数据有限的渔业管理规程评价(managementstrategyevaluation,MSE)]对鲐的渔业管理进行了研究。在资源预测方法中,通过JABBA和JABBA-Select两个资源评估模型对种群未来的资源动态进行模拟,探讨不同捕捞控制规则(harvest control rules, HCR)下种群的变化。本研究设置了4个HCR,分别以2020年渔获量的0.8～1.4倍,最大可持续产量MSY、B×FMSY和SB×HMSY (分别用于JABBA和JABBA-Select)、历史最高渔获量为总可捕量(totalallowablecatch,TAC),预测2023—2032年间的鲐种群变化。结果显示基于亲体资源量进行研究的JABBA-Select模型,其预测结果相比于JABBA模型略悲观,但都是基于生物学参考点设定的HCR养护和管理效果最好(TAC分别为50～80万t和50～66万t)。MSE则根据设定筛选出12种养护管理效果较好的策略,其中DAAC(消耗率修正后的平均捕获量)与SBT2 (基于资源量和渔获量水平的总可捕量递增矫正法)养护管理效果最好。SBT2求得的TAC (520387 t),与近些年产量及上述HCR的结果较为接近。此外,敏感性分析表明,可捕系数,自然死亡系数和渔获量相关的参数(平均渔获量、渔获量、渔获量参考点)对于养护管理效果的影响最为明显,需要额外关注两者的准确性和精确性。现阶段为确保西北太平洋鲐资源的养护和最佳利用,建议根据B×FMSY或SB×HMSY设定年可捕量,同时基于资源量和渔获量水平进行调整,综合制定管理措施。

Background: While sunscreen has been accepted as a mainline defence against photodamage from ultraviolet, visible light and near-infrared radiation, there appears to be a lack of research into photorepair. The concept of protecting the skin during the day and repairing cellular damage at night is intuitive, yet specific strategies revolving around combinations of proven reparative active ingredients remain unelucidated. Purpose: To investigate the efficacy of a solar repair Formulation following ultraviolet and environmental exposure in order to improve overall skin health and appearance through three hypotheses: The Formulation increases expression of DNA repair mechanisms markers;The Formulation enhances overall skin appearance through reducing signs of inflammation, elevating hydration, reinforcing skin firmness and amplifying radiance;In-Vivo efficacy test results are aligned with measured gene expression changes. Methods: The Formulation (#6NIC1.V1.1-1) was tested for: In-vitro LDH cytotoxicity activity, In-vitro qPCR gene expression with and without ultraviolet exposure on a reconstructed 3-dimensional skin model, and In-Vivo efficacy study on a panel of 22 participants objectively and subjectively. Results: Skin radiance, firmness, hydration, redness, and inflammation are significantly improved after In-Vivo skin exposure to the Formulation and environmental challenges such as ultraviolet radiation. These outcomes were confirmed by in-vitro genetic testing on a reconstructed human skin model. Conclusion: The studies allowed us to identify and group results in four main skin functions that were significantly enhanced following the application of the Formulation: firmness, hydration, radiance and soothing.

The cashew stem girdler, Analeptes trifasciata Fabricius (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), damages cashew by its girdling activities in the stem thereby causing huge economic losses. The stem girdler is managed through cultural practice of burning girdled stems and beetles, though this has drawbacks. The objective of this study was to explore the cues mediating attraction to the cashew host plant;hence the role of olfaction in host plant location by A. trifasciata underlying the semio-chemical option for controlling this insect pest. A diffusional Y-tube olfactometer was used to study the behavioural response of A. trifasciata, to freshly cut cashew stem and leaves odour sources. Methanol-extract of these plant tissues was subjected to the coupled gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. Y-tube olfactometric assays demonstrated that both sexes oriented towards and spent significantly more time in stem odour arm compared to the leaf odour arm in both male (male: t = 2.228, d.f = 11, P = 0.040) and female (t = 2.341, d.f = 11, P = 0.040). A combination of fatty acids, amino acids and carbohydrates were detected in cashew stems. Some of these fatty acids are attractants to other insect pests. It is suspected that these fatty acid blends may possibly be responsible for facilitating host plant location by both sexes. In conclusion, both sexes were independently and strongly attracted to the stem volatiles;this study opens the possibility of utilizing cashew stem volatiles as surveillance and control tools.

Although General Relativity is the classic example of a physical theory based on differential geometry, the momentum tensor is the only part of the field equation that is not derived from or interpreted with differential geometry. This work extends General Relativity and Einstein-Cartan theory by augmenting the Poincaré group with projective (special) conformal transformations, which are translations at conformal infinity. Momentum becomes a part of the differential geometry of spacetime. The Lie algebra of these transformations is represented by vectorfields on an associated Minkowski fiber space. Variation of projective conformal scalar curvature generates a 2-index tensor that serves as linear momentum in the field equations of General Relativity. The computation yields a constructive realization of Mach’s principle: local inertia is determined by local motion relative to mass at conformal infinity in each fiber. The vectorfields have a cellular structure that is similar to that of turbulent fluids.
