Spatialised ecosystem modelling to evaluate the influences of marine protected areas and provisioning ecotourism on the foraging and distributional response of top predators from M... by Grusd, Samantha Paige

“…Spatial indicators (e.g., Biomass (B)mpa/Bbase, Bprovisioning/Bmpa) were calculated at various model timesteps to analyse the potential shift in top predator concentration over time and quantify their distributional response five, 15 and 25 years following the implementation of new MPAs and provisioning operation. …”

Solitons,spatiotemporal choas and synchronization in arrays of damped driven nonlinear oscillators by Robinson,WML

“…Cases considered include chains with multiple impurities of different strengths, equal equidistant impurities (both long and short), and equal impurities which are positioned randomly along the chain. vVe show that all the previously reported features of the continuous NLS equation are reproduced in the dynamics of the discrete chain. …”

Environmental changes and regime shift analysis in the southern Benguela using output from earth system models by Wilcox, Maxine

“…Output from two earth system models (ESMs): the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) and the Institut Pierre Simon Laplace (IPSL) was integrated with shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs) to simulate environmental changes over time under historical scenarios (1970 – 2014), as well as low fossil fuel emission scenarios (SSP1-2.6) and high fossil fuel emission scenarios (SSP5-8.5). …”

Sequence of return risk in South African post-retirement portfolios: the effectiveness of volatility-focused asset allocation strategies to address sequence and associated risks by Schabort, Kilian Petika

“…The performance of each of the five strategies was measured against a benchmark set of portfolios using simulated data and was validated using partial out-of-sample historical data. …”
