Technologies required to accurately track and predict their movements are essential in managing human activities affecting marine ecosystems. Critical transboundary ecosystem issues are affected by climate change. These problems require the scientific study and global solutions discussed in this session by U.S. and Canadian scientists and industry. A central question associated with design and implementation of marine protected area (MPA) networks is to understand the movements of species. Where organisms originate from (spawning grounds), where they move to (adult and larval dispersal), and how quickly they move (influences growth and survival) are important considerations in determining where MPA networks should be located, the strength of their connectivity, and the effectiveness of a network of MPAs in protecting critical life stages of species. Understanding and accurately predicting the movement of species is inherently a biophysical challenge. Research in accurately assessing movement of species is ongoing in dart, acoustic, and satellite tagging studies (animal telemetry); molecular, stable isotope and geochemical analysis; and physical process and ocean circulation models. As species and water move across political boundaries, close communication and collaboration among nations are essential in assessing the effectiveness of MPA networks in protecting life stages of species and their associated habitats.

Jake Rice, Fisheries and Oceans Canada MPA Policy and Climate Change: Seizing Synergies and Reducing Risks Conquering the Final Frontier: The Importance of Space Technologies in All That We Do Friday, February 17, 2012: 10:00 AM-11:30 AM Room 217-218 (VCC West Building) Famous futurologist Alvin Toffler observed trends in wealth creation in the postindustrial society: everywhere (globalization), nowhere (cyberspace), and out there (outer space). Space technologies are already becoming an integral part of modern society. Satellite navigation based on the global positioning system (GPS) has become the basis for precision time and accurate location used worldwide by cellular phones, electrical power networks, and banking. GPS supports just-in-time manufacturing and worldwide logistics chains through precise tracking and is becoming central to commercial aviation. Satellite-based remote sensing supports improved agricultural productivity through high-precision farming and accurate weather forecasts, and helps in crisis management and disaster situation assessment. What are the most urgent challenges in space of the 21st century? Which kind of threats do we face from the outer space? How can we exploit space for the good of all humanity? How are space scientists collaborating across the globe? The symposium will bring together leading scientists 2 and visionaries to present a unique perspective on the role of space science in meeting some of the most important challenges of the modern world.

For example, the destruction of research facilities, damage to lifelines and restrictions on electricity supply, and the return to home countries of many foreign researchers and students have caused the interruption and stagnation of research and development activities in Japan and the world. Furthermore, the nuclear power plant accidents point to an urgent need to review existing energy policies. Many challenges have emerged in terms of risk management and communication given the public's shaken confidence in science and technology not only in Japan but also in the rest of the world. This symposium will address various challenges stemming from the great earthquake, how STI policy can contribute to understanding and analyzing them and finding solutions, and the prospects for redesigning the governance of STI.

  • Advances in Atomtronics
    entropy Review Advances in Atomtronics Ron A. Pepino Department of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Physics Florida Southern College, Lakeland, FL 33801, USA; rpepino@flsouthern.edu Abstract: Atomtronics is a relatively new subfield of atomic physics that aims to realize the device behavior of electronic components in ultracold atom-optical systems. The fact that these systems are coherent makes them particularly interesting since, in addition to current, one can impart quantum states onto the current carriers themselves or perhaps perform quantum computational operations on them. After reviewing the fundamental ideas of this subfield, we report on the theoretical and experimental progress made towards developing externally-driven and closed loop devices. The functionality and potential applications for these atom analogs to electronic and spintronic systems is also discussed.

  • Atomtronics-Enabled Quantum Technologies 2
    Focus on Atomtronics-enabled Quantum Technologies Luigi Amico 1,2 Gerhard Birkl 3, Malcolm Boshier 4, and Leong-Chuan Kwek, 2,5 1 Dipartimento di Fisica e Astronomia, Universit`adi Catania & CNR-MATIS-IMM & INFN-Laboratori Nazionali del Sud, INFN, Catania 2 Centre for Quantum Technologies, National University of Singapore 3 Technische Universit¨at Darmstadt 4 Los Alamos National Laboratories 5 Institute of Advanced Studies and National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore February 2014 Abstract. Atomtronics is an emerging field in quantum technology that promises to realize ’atomic circuit’ architectures exploiting ultra-cold atoms manipulated in versatile micro-optical circuits generated by laser fields of different shapes and intensities or micro-magnetic circuits known as atom chips. Although devising new applications for computation and information transfer is a defining goal of the field, Atomtronics wants to enlarge the scope of quantum simulators and to access new physical regimes with novel fundamental science. With this focus issue we want to survey the state of the art of Atomtronics-enabled Quantum Technology. We collect articles on both conceptual and applicative aspects of the field for diverse exploitations, both to extend the scope of the existing atom-based quantum devices and to devise platforms for new routes to quantum technology. arXiv:1612.07783v1 [quant-ph] 22 Dec 2016 1. Introduction The pervasive importance of electronic devices, e.g. transistors, diodes, capacitors, inductors, integrated circuits, can be observed everywhere in our daily applications and usage. The key players in electronic devices are electrons and holes. Imagine circuitry in which the carriers are atoms instead of electrons and holes.

  • Hypersonic Matterwaves Atomtronics
    Hypersonic Matterwaves Atomtronics Atomtronics manipulates atoms much in the way that electronics manipulates electrons. It carries the promise of highly compact quantum devices which can measure incredibly small forces or tiny rotations. [43] Now, researchers fabricated an electron's spin-filtering device that can switch the spin polarization direction by light irradiation or thermal treatment. [42] Electrospinning, a nanofiber fabrication method, can produce nanometer- to micrometer-diameter ceramic, polymer, and metallic fibers of various compositions for a wide spectrum of applications: tissue engineering, filtration, fuel cells and lithium batteries. [41] Researchers of the Nanoscience Center (NSC) at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, and Xiamen University, China, have discovered how copper particles at the nanometer scale operate in modifying a carbon-oxygen bond when ketone molecules turn into alcohol molecules. [40] The research is carried out in the Quantum Photonics Group at the Niels Bohr Institute, which is a part of the newly established Center for Hybrid Quantum Networks (Hy-Q) [39] With international collaboration, researchers at Aalto University have now developed a nanosized amplifier to help light signals propagate through microchips. [38] Physicists at the Kastler Brossel Laboratory in Paris have reached a milestone in the combination of cold atoms and nanophotonics. [37] The universal laws governing the dynamics of interacting quantum particles are yet to be fully revealed to the scientific community. [36] Now NIST scientists have designed a vacuum gauge that is small enough to deploy in commonly used vacuum chambers. [35] A novel technique that nudges single atoms to switch places within an atomically thin material could bring scientists another step closer to realizing theoretical physicist Richard Feynman's vision of building tiny machines from the atom up.

Web-Based Innovation Indicators – Which Firm Website Characteristics Relate to Firm-Level Innovation Activity? Janna Axenbeck†+* & Patrick Breithaupt†* † Department of Digital Economy, ZEW – Leibniz Centre for European Economic Research, L7 1, 68161 Mannheim, Germany +Justus-Liebig-University Giessen, Faculty of Economics, Licher Straße 64, 35394 Gießen, Germany * Correspondence: [email protected]; Phone: +49 621 1235 – 188, [email protected]; Phone: +49 621 1235 – 217 December 31, 2019 Abstract Web-based innovation indicators may provide new insights into firm-level innovation activities. However, little is known yet about the accuracy and relevance of web-based information. In this study, we use 4,485 German firms from the Mannheim Innovation Panel (MIP) 2019 to analyze which website characteristics are related to innovation activities at the firm level. Website characteristics are measured by several text mining methods and are used as features in different Random Forest classification models that are compared against each other. Our results show that the most relevant website characteristics are the website’s language, the number of subpages, and the total text length. Moreover, our website characteristics show a better performance for the prediction of product innovations and innovation expenditures than for the prediction of process innovations. Keywords: Text as data, innovation indicators, machine learning JEL Classification: C53, C81, C83, O30 Acknowledgments: The authors would like to thank the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research for providing funding for the research project (TOBI - Text Data Based Output Indicators as Base of a New Innovation Metric; funding ID: 16IFI001).

  • Session at AAAS Annual Meeting
    SESSION on DESIGN THINKING TO MOBILIZE SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION FOR SOCIAL CHALLENGES The aim of this symposium is to highlight the innova- tive approaches towards address social challenges. There has been growing interest in promoting “social innovation” to imbed innovation in the wider economy by fostering opportunities for new actors, such as non-profit foundations, to steer research and collaborate with firms and entrepreneurs and to tackle social challenges. User and consumers are also relevant as they play an important role in demanding innovation for social goals but also as actors and suppliers of solutions. Although the innovation process is now much more open and receptive to social influences, progress on social innovation will call for the greater involvement of stakeholders who can mobilize science, technol- ogy and innovation to address social challenges. Thus, the session requires to be approached from holistic and multidisciplinary mind and needs to cover the issue from different aspects by seven inter- national speakers.

  • Three-Dimensional Manipulation of Ultracold Atoms Using Optical Tweezers
    Three-Dimensional Manipulation of Ultracold Atoms using Optical Tweezers Craig S. Chisholm A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Physics The University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand August, 2018 Supervisor: Associate Professor Niels Kjærgaard Submitted for examination May, 2018 Abstract This thesis describes the design and construction of a three-dimensional optical tweezer system. The three-dimensional aspects were constructed as a modular upgrade to a previously existing one-dimensional system and were characterised using 87Rb with avenues for future research using 40K in mind. The three-dimensional optical tweezer system was used to demonstrate multiple Bose-Einstein condensation in horizontal and vertical planes and gravitationally driven atomic collisions. In order to take advantage of the three-dimensional nature of the optical tweezer system and to build capabilities with Rydberg quantum optics, vortex lattice studies and atom interferometry, a vertical imaging path was added to the existing experiment. Compared with the existing horizontal imaging path, the vertical imaging path has higher spatial resolution. A magnetic levitation scheme was implemented to prevent depth of focus issues due to atoms falling under the influence of gravity during ballistic expansion in time-of-flight. The levitation scheme was also used to increase the maximum time-of-flight using the horizontal imaging path by more than a factor of two. The improved resolution enabled observation of matter wave interference fringes for the first time in the Kjærgaard lab, which is a first step towards the study of quantum vortices. i Acknowledgements I would like to begin by thanking my supervisor Assoc.
