Operaciones de pesca con chinchorro manual en Huacho, 2003

En las playas de Atahuanca, Lobiños y Playa Chica de Huacho, del 24 de febrero al 2 de marzo 2003, se desarrolló la pesca con chinchorro manual, la captura total fue 312,77 kg, correspondiendo a lisa el mayor porcentaje (39,55%). La CPUE varió entre 500 kg.h-1 y 8,77 kg.h-1. El rango de tallas varió para lisa entre 22 y 39 cm, mismis entre 11 y 31 cm; la correlación entre longitud y peso fue altamente significativa para lisa con r=0,961 y mismis r=0,997. Las correlaciones de los parámetros de longitud y el perímetro a la marca de la red registraron valores significativos con un r = 0,961 para la lisa y r = 0,973 para el mismis. Las hembras de lisa estuvieron en estadio III (26,32%) y II (21,05%) y los machos en estadio II y IV (15,79%). Las hembras de mismis estuvieron en estadio III (7,41%) y los machos en estadios IV (44,44%) y V (18,52%). Las operaciones de pesca experimental se efectuaron a 6 m de profundidad. La presencia de los recursos costeros est uvo asociada a un rango de 17,1 a 17,4 °C.

Pesca exploratoria con redes chinchorro manual en la región Lambayeque

La pesca exploratoria se realizó del 26 de mayo al 5 de junio del 2009, efectuando 15 lances de pesca para evaluar el comportamiento del chinchorro manual. Se usó redes con copos convencionales de malla diamante de 50 mm y malla cuadrada de 60 mm y, una red con sobrecopo de 25 mm de malla. Del total de la captura el 73% fue bagre (Galeichthys peruvianus) y 12% lisa (Mugil cephalus). El bagre fue retenido en el copo (95%) con talla media de 27 cm y la captura de lisa fue por agallamiento en la sección de las alas de la red (92%) con talla media de 30 cm. El chinchorro es un arte de pesca que presenta baja selectividad debido a la diversidad de especies capturadas en estado juvenil y madurante (e.g. bagre).

Comportamiento y respuesta selectiva de la red manual chinchorro en Huarmey-Áncash

El estudio se realizó en otoño (30 de abril al 9 de mayo) e invierno (5 al 14 de julio) del 2009 con la finalidad de evaluar el comportamiento y respuesta selectiva de la red manual chinchorro manual en la zona de Huarmey - Región Áncash. Se realizaron 28 lances de pesca en las zonas de El Huaro, Culebras, Tuquillo, Huanchaquito, y para calamar en El Castillo, Gramadal, Las Zorras. La red manual chinchorro está dirigida a la pesquería multiespecífica, la composición de la capturas fue mayor en el copo (83% fase I, 92% fase II), seguido de las alas (13% fase I, 2% fase II) y el sobrecopo (4% fase I, 6% fase II), las principales especies capturadas fueron Doryteuthis gahi, Sciaena deliciosa, Odontesthes regia, Urotrygon asterias, Paralichthys adspersus, Mugil cephalus, Scomber japonicus. De las especies capturadas que cuentan con una talla mínima legal de captura (TMC), se registró más de 65% de ejemplares juveniles, lo que es un indicador de la baja respuesta selectiva y del impacto negativo al ecosistema.

Case Management Program For Frail Elders Manual, August 2008

The purpose of this manual is to guide operation of the Case Management Program for Frail Elders. After Background, Program Administration, Definitions, Consumer Eligibility, and Program Standards, the order follows the flow of a consumer entering the pro-gram from referral through ongoing case activities. The manual is written assuming the reader is the Case Manager. The effective date will appear in the bottom left hand corner of each page. This manual will be updated as needed via Iowa Aging Program Instructions (IAPI). This manual is used in conjunction with the Department of Human Services’ manuals which provide more detail about policies and procedures within the Medicaid elderly waiver program.

Office of Location and Environment Manual, August 2009

This manual captures the experience of practitioners in the Iowa Department of Transportation’s (Iowa DOT’s) Office of Location and Environment (OLE). It also documents the need for coordinated project development efforts during the highway project planning, or location study phase and engineering design. The location study phase establishes: * The definition of, and need for, the highway improvement project * The range of alternatives and many key attributes of the project’s design * The recommended alternative, its impacts, and the agreed-to conditions for project approval The location study process involves developing engineering alternatives, collecting engineering and environmental data, and completing design refinements to accomplish functional designs. The items above also embody the basic content required for projects compliant with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 19691, which directs federal agencies to use a systematic, interdisciplinary approach during the planning process whenever proposed actions (or “projects”) have the potential for environmental impacts. In doing so, NEPA requires coordination with stakeholders, review, comment, and public disclosure. Are location studies and environmental studies more about the process or the documents? If properly conducted, they concern both—unbiased and reasonable processes with quality and timely documents. In essence, every project is a story that needs to be told. Engineering and environmental regulations and guidance, as documented in this manual, will help project staff and managers become better storytellers.

eSCREENER PLUS (eSPTM ) Manual. 2008

This handbook provides a page-by-page reference for navigating the eSCREENER PLUS (eSPTM ) data system.

A new technique for simultaneous validation of two manual nonmercury auscultatory sphygmomanometers (A&D UM-101 and Accoson Greenlight 300) based on the International protocol.

INTRODUCTION: Auscultatory nonmercury manual devices seem good alternatives for the mercury sphygmomanometers in the clinic and for research settings, but individual internal validation of each device is time-consuming. The aim of this study was to validate a new technique capable of testing two devices simultaneously, based on the International protocol of the European Society of Hypertension. METHODS: The concept of the new technique is to measure blood pressure alternatively by two observers using a mercury sphygmomanometer and by two observers using the A&D UM-101 and Accoson Greenlight 300 devices, connected by Y-tube to obtain simultaneous readings with both nonmercury devices. Thirty-three participants were enrolled (mean age 47.2±14.0 years). Nine sequential blood pressure measurements were performed for each participant. RESULTS: Both devices passed phase 1 using 15 participants. In phase 2.1 (n=33), on a maximum of 99 measurements, the Accoson device produced 81/95/99 measurements within 5/10/15 mmHg for systolic blood pressure (SBP) and 87/98/99 for diastolic blood pressure (DBP). The A&D device produced 86/96/99 for SBP and 94/99/99 for DBP. In phase 2.2 (n=33), 30 participants had at least 2 out of 3 SBP obtained with Accoson device within 5 mmHg of the mercury device, as compared with 29 of 33 participants with the A&D device. For DBP, this was 33 of 33 participants for both devices. CONCLUSION: Both the nonmercury devices passed the International protocol. The new technique of simultaneous device testing using a Y-tube represents a time saving application of the International protocol.

Erosão em entre sulcos em área cultivada com cana crua e queimada sob colheita manual e mecanizada

Embora existam vários estudos ligados às questões ambientais voltadas para a poluição atmosférica, ao uso crescente da biotecnologia e à mecanização do processo de colheita da cana-de-açúcar, a mesma atenção não tem sido dada aos impactos ambientais negativos promovidos pela erosão laminar. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a concentração de matéria orgânica (MO) e nutrientes (P, K, Ca e Mg) em sedimentos e na água da enxurrada proveniente de erosão entre sulcos em diferentes sistemas de manejo na colheita da cana-de-açúcar utilizados no Estado de Mato Grosso do Sul (cana crua e queimada), sob um Latossolo Vermelho distrófico de textura média. Os tratamentos estudados foram colheita manual de cana queimada, colheita mecanizada de cana crua e colheita mecanizada de cana queimada. Aplicou-se chuva simulada com intensidade de 60 mm h-1, durante 50 min. As concentrações de sedimentos na enxurrada resultantes da erosão entre sulcos, bem como de MO, P, K, Ca e Mg, foram maiores no sistema com colheita mecanizada de cana queimada e menores no sistema com colheita mecanizada de cana crua. A qualidade física do solo sofre influência negativa do sistema de manejo com colheita mecânica de cana queimada, devido ao efeito da pressão exercida pelo tráfego de máquinas na colheita. No entanto, os resíduos vegetais de colheita distribuídos na superfície do solo pela colheita mecânica de cana crua reduzem as perdas de nutrientes e de MO no sedimento, além de aumentarem a capacidade do solo em resistir à degradação física ocasionada pelo tráfego de máquinas na colheita mecanizada de cana.

Design Manual for Low Water Stream Crossings, October 1983

The purpose of this manual is to provide design guidelines for low water stream crossings (LWSCs). Rigid criteria for determining the applicability of a LWSC to a given site are not established since each site is unique in terms of physical, social, economic, and political factors. Because conditions vary from county to county, it is not the intent to provide a "cook-book" procedure for designing a LWSC. Rather, engineering judgment must be applied to the guidelines contained in this manual.
