Sustainable Small-Scale Marine Fishing Resources and Communities in Kerala, India - Policy makers
No full textAdaptation strategies of small-scale marine fisheries in response to climate change, resource changes and sudden systemic shocks
No full textBiodiversity loss and climate change threaten global food security and achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Fish is considered important for combatting malnutrition globally and small-scale fisheries are vital to the marine wild capture industry, supporting livelihoods and wellbeing. With many marine small-scale fishing communities experiencing the effects of climatic and resource changes on subsistence, income, and well-being, it is important to understand what adaptation strategies might help these communities thrive. Through a review of scientific literature we identified short-term coping and long-term adaptive strategies employed around the world to reduce local vulnerability and improve resilience to climate change, resource changes, and sudden systemic shocks such as COVID-19. However, most reported strategies examined only fishers (82.6%) rather than those involved in fish processing. Coping strategies to minimize vulnerability dominated documented responses (67.7%) rather than longer-term adaptive strategies. Fishers initiated most coping strategies themselves (88.9%); adaptive strategies were more likely to rely on external actors (53.8%). Findings underscored the relative importance of two social factors that influenced whether specific strategies were adopted or not: social organization (formal and informal social networks between individuals, communities, and institutions) and assets (financial, technological, informational and natural capital). We argue that mobilization of these networks and resources requires agency, which is shaped by inequalities within communities. Given the intensifying effects of climate change and potential for societal shocks, we urge researchers and practitioners to support communities through locally relevant longer-term adaptation strategies that address the full fishery from catch to processing chains

No full textASIP data-plane processor for multi-standard wireless protocol processing
No full textEvolving Multi-Protocol Multi-Band Software Defined Radio (SDR) devices aim at supporting multiple protocols seamlessly and efficiently. The design of such radios necessitates flexibility in physical layer processing, flexibility in routing packets through processing engines and flexibility in radio frequency reception/transmission. This dissertation addresses an efficient implementation of flexible physical layer processing (PHY) for Interleaving, De-Interleaving and linear Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) detection in Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) receivers through Application Specific Instruction Set Processors (ASIPs). The thesis defines and develops a WINLAB cognitive radio (WiNC2R) compatible data-plane ASIP architecture along with suitable hardware-software partitioning of the Processing Engine unit. Given the requirement of very significant design time and the lack of the flexibility after design, dedicated ASIC for PHY may not be a viable option although it has the best performance among all available options. The software application running on general purpose processor cannot satisfy the throughput requirements of the wireless standards. ASIPs provide a better trade-off between flexibility and performance, with the advantage of considerably lower design time than ASICs. We design an efficient multi-standard (802.11a, 802.16e/m) supporting Interleaver/De-Interleaver ASIP, satisfying the throughput requirements for all the modulation-schemes/data-rates in both of the standards. It can be programmed to scale for supporting future wireless standards (that use Block Interleaving/De-Interleaving). We also study viability of a flexible MIMO MMSE detector ASIP supporting variable MR (Number of receiving antennas) * MT (Number of transmitting antennas) operations. We have analyzed the implementation of an hardware-centric algorithm for MIMO detection on an ASIP and also improved its performance with the help of techniques such as fixed point implementation, Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) and Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW). Analysis of the design performance results for MIMO ASIP indicates the limitations of hardware-implementation-specific algorithms on ASIP. We also provide the account of design decisions such as custom ports, memory interfaces and registers that are added to the data-plane processor ASIPs in order to substitute them for dedicated hardware engines in the WiNC2R platform.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Mohit Gopal Wan
Scientometric analysis of synchronous references in the Physics Nobel lectures, 1981-1985 : a pilot study
No full textScientometric analysis of synchronous references in the nine Physics Nobel lectures by Nicolaas Bloembergen (1981), Arthur L. Schawlow (1981), Kai M. Siegbahn (1981), Kenneth G. Wilson (1982), Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar (1983), William A. Fowler (1983), Carlo Rubbia (1984), Simon van der Meer (1984), and Klaus von Klitzing (1985) indicated high variations: No. of Synchronous References ranged from 24 (Meer) to 283 (Siegbahn); Synchronous Self-References ranged from 5 (Rubbia) to 88 (Siegbahn); synchronous references to others ranged from 10 (Chandrasekhar) to 255 (Wilson); Synchronous Self-Reference Rates ranged from 6.66 % (Rubbia) to 65.51 % (Chandrasekhar); Single-Authored References ranged from 15 (Klitzing) to 160 (Wilson); Multi-Authored References ranged from 4 (Chandrasekhar) to 194 (Siegbahn); Collaboration Coefficient in the synchronous references ranged from 0.14 (Chandrasekhar) to 0.75 (Klitzing); and Recency (age of 50 % of the latest references) ranged from 2 (Klitzing) to 18 (Chandrasekhar) years. Seventy five per cent of the references belonged to journal articles. Highly referred journals were Astrophysical Journal, Physical Review B, Physical Review Letters, Arkiv Fuer Fysik, Surface Science, Physics Letters, and IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science.
