TL;DR: Inflation-forecast targeting (IFT) as mentioned in this paper is a model-based forecasting approach to monetary policy, which is characterized by transparent communications, and some central banks go so far as to publish their policy interest rate projection.
Abstract: Many central banks in emerging and advanced economies have adopted an inflation-forecast targeting (IFT) approach to monetary policy, in order to successfully establish a stable, lowinflation environment. To support policy making, each has developed a structured system of forecasting and policy analysis appropriate to its needs. A common component is a modelbased forecast with an endogenous policy interest rate path. The approach is characterized, among other things, by transparent communications—some IFT central banks go so far as to publish their policy interest rate projection. Some elements of this regime, although a work still in progress, are worthy of consideration by central banks that have not yet officially adopted full-fledged inflation targeting.

TL;DR: In this article, micro-PIXE has been used to determine the content of strontium in the growth zones of Arctic charr otoliths, and a well-defined correspondence is observed between the optically observed growth zones and the strountium zoning pattern.
Abstract: Micro-PIXE has been used to determine the content of strontium in the growth zones of Arctic charr otoliths A well-defined correspondence is observed between the optically observed growth zones and the strontium zoning pattern Line-scan data indicate whether or not the fish concerned is anadromous, and they define the years in which migration to the sea has taken place; they also are sensitive to the geographic origin of the fish These results suggest that micro-PIXE can be a useful tool in the management and conservation of the Arctic charr

TL;DR: In this paper, the Triple Helix model is adapted to the South African context and facilities and impediments for working according to the triple Helix in South Africa are identified, where the authors focus on entrepreneurship development.
Abstract: This article deals with Triple Helix (university, industry and government cooperation) from an institutional theory perspective. The empirical context is the Western Cape Region in South Africa and the focus is entrepreneurship development. The purpose is two-fold: first, the existing Triple Helix model is adapted to the South African context; and second, facilities and impediments for working according to Triple Helix in South Africa are identified. The empirical material consists of a survey and three longitudinal case studies illustrating the degree of cooperation between the three parties. The article contributes to knowledge about how the Triple Helix model works on a regional level in a developing country. The study draws the following conclusions: when cooperation is to be identified between the three actors, only two of the three are involved; one missing link in the Triple Helix model is the focus on the entrepreneur; cooperation between the three parties are incidental rather than planned and there is lack of structure. In turn, some of these conclusions may be an effect of institutional changes on a national level. For a normative legacy, the article proposes a set of suggestions for incorporating all relevant parties on a practical level.

TL;DR: G. ogac is intermediate between the elevated rate of Arctic cod, Boreogadus saida, and eurythermal temperate species, and available data indicate they are not important in marine mammal and bird food webs.
Abstract: The distribution and relative abundance, life history parameters, food habits, and metabolic rate were determined forGadus ogac in Sagvagjuac Inlet, northwest coast of Hudson Bay (63° N). Fish were demersal, non-schooling, and distributed evenly down to 35 m depth. Growth was slow (maximum age 12 y) and mortality relatively low (0.5 y−1).G. ogac first spawned at 2–3 y and spawned annually thereafter, in late March – early April. They tended to remain in the inlet and were not taken on the open coast. They are top carnivores, taking primarily capelin when available, benthic crustacea (crabs, amphipods) when not. The metabolic rate ofG. ogac is intermediate between the elevated rate of Arctic cod,Boreogadus saida, and eurythermal temperate species. Available data indicate they are not important in marine mammal and bird food webs. Their biology is contrasted with that of Arctic cod, which are short-lived, cryopelagic, feed on pelagic crustacea, and are an extremely important component of Arctic marine food webs.

TL;DR: Rice et al. as mentioned in this paper presented the dual role of indicators in optimal fisheries management strategies and showed that different indicators may be optimal for both roles, and will be essential as ecosystem considerations and integrated management tools are included in assessment and management.
Abstract: Rice, J. C., and Rivard, D. 2007. The dual role of indicators in optimal fisheries management strategies. - ICES Journal of Marine Science, 64: 775-778.Indicators are used in two different ways in the assessment and advisory cycle. One is to audit performance of the management plan relative to achieving the objectives for the fishery. The second is to trigger control rules to manage the subsequent harvest. Traditionally, the assessment and management community has used spawning-stock biomass and fishing mortality for these functions, and as management strategies are being developed, generally continues to test the same indicators in both the audit and control functions. There is no reason to use the same indicators in both functions, and management of a few specialized commercial fisheries has recognized this, using different indicators in different roles for many years. That different indicators may be optimal for both roles presents a richer range of opportunities for exploring robust management strategies, and will be essential as ecosystem considerations and integrated management tools are included in assessment and management.
