A business plan development: the case of a paint company in Douala Camroon by Bomboy & Friends

This paper presents a business plan to create a new company Bomboy & Friends regarding the Exclusive Distribution of a fully Eco Friendly Water-Soluble Anti- Corrosive Prime named Life Guard Active Rust Primer Paint abbreviated as “L.G.A.R.P Paint” in Douala Cameroon and the C.E.M.A.C Region. The lack of quality paint in Cameroon has given the opportunity for a company like Bomboy & Friends to nurture its existence and be part of a fast growing economy, providing a high quality paint competition, very economical, easy to prepare, environmentally friendly, compatible with other brands and accessible to medium and small size companies.

Companhia subterrânea: notas de um último leitor acerca da literatura do Não

O presente trabalho adota, como base teórica, uma perspectiva desenvolvida a partir do exame de certas ideias presentes na obra ficcional de Enrique Vila-Matas apresentadas em seus romances Bartleby e companhia (a literatura do Não, pulsão negativa da literatura contemporânea, desistência e mutismo literários, renúncia à escrita) e O mal de Montano (doença literária, doente de literatura, literatose) e na ensaísta de Ricardo Piglia, em O último leitor (último leitor, o leitor viciado, que não consegue deixar de ler, leitor para o qual a leitura não é apenas uma prática, mas uma forma de vida; o leitor como personificação da literatura). A partir dessas noções, a presente Dissertação especula sobre as relações entre a escrita de Machado de Assis, o universo de Franz Kafka e a obra de Murilo Rubião. Adotou-se como metodologia a leitura comparativa desses autores, com destaque para os contos de Murilo Rubião, e de alguns dos escritores lidos pelos três ficcionistas

Indirect validation of the age-reading method for Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) using otoliths from marked and recaptured fish

Two examples of indirect validation are described for age-reading methods of Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus). Aging criteria that exclude faint translucent zones (checks) in counts of annuli and criteria that include faint zones were both tested. Otoliths from marked and recaptured fish were used to back-calculate the length of each fish at the time of its release by using measurements of the area of annuli. Estimated fish size at time of release and actual observed fish size were similar, supporting the assumption that translucent zones are laid down on an annual basis. A second method for validating reading criteria used otolith age and von Bertalanffy parameters, estimated from the tagging data, to predict how much each fish grew in length after tagging. We found that otolith aging criteria applied to otoliths from tagged and recovered Pacific cod predicted quite accurately the growth increments that we observed in these specimens. These results provide further evidence that the current aging criteria are not underestimating the age of the fish and support our current interpretation of checks (i.e., as subannual marks). We expect these indirect validations to advance age determination for Pacific cod, which in turn would enhance development of stock assessment methods based on age structure for this species in the eastern Bering Sea.

River Dart Scale Reading Investigation Report on the 1965 Season

This is the fourth River Dart Scale Reading Investigation Report on the 1965 season by the Devon River Board.

It shows the results of the survey and the number of scales studied from each of the various sea-age classes, time of running with distribution of the sea-age groups throughout the season, fish sizes and smolt ages at migration. All it summarized in tables, and figures are included plotting weight distributions for each age classes and frequency distributions.

It also compares the results of previous reports and gives a full summary for the investigation (including previous reports).

River Dart Scale Reading Investigation Report on the 1962 Season

This is the first River Dart Scale Reading Investigation Report on the 1962 season by the Devon River Board. The object of this investigation is to examine, by means of scale-reading, the general biology of the salmon population of the River Dart. It reviews briefly the theory and mechanics of the scale-reading technique, the life history of the salmon, and the methods used for the collection of scales and the examination of the materials. It shows the results of the survey and the number of scales studied from each of the various sea-age classes, time of running with distribution of the sea-age groups throughout the season, fish sizes and smolt ages at migration. All are summarized in various tables and figures are also included, plotting weight distributions for each age classes and frequency distributions.

But a further scale reading programme was started in an attempt to monitor changing patterns in salmon runs that may be caused by the new influences. It reviews the methods used for the collection of scales and examination of the materials. It shows the results of the survey and the number of scales studied from each of the various sea-age classes, time of running with distribution of the sea-age groups throughout the season, fish sizes and smolt ages at migration.
