Wadge Bank trawl fishery studies. Pt. 2. The effect of trawling on the catch per hour from 1945 to 1960

The object of this series of papers has been given in Part 1 (see Additional informations for details) which deals with the first known commercial fishery on the Wadge Bank from 1928 to 1935. There is no recorded trawling on the Bank between 1936 and 1944. This paper deals with the changes in the total catch (i.e. all species combined) per hour of trawling in relation to the changes in fishing intensity from 1945, when the present trawling activities started, to 1960. The effect of trawling on individual categories or varieties will be presented later.

Growth, mortality and yield-per-recruit of Copadichromis likomae (Cichlidae) in Lake Niassa, Mozambique

Analysis of the length-frequency data on Copadichromis likomae (Cichlidae) from Lake Niassa, Mozambique, suggests an asymptotic length of SL∞=14 cm associated with a K value of 0.93 yearˉ¹. Total and natural mortalities were estimated as 3.2 yearˉ¹ and 1.9 yearˉ¹, respectively. Yield-per-recruit analysis suggests that E=0.36 in this fishery.

Estimating the population density of prawns by the use of catch per effort data from prawn trawlers at Chilaw

The penaeid prawns of Sri Lanka from estuaries and sea are an important commercial fishery resource. This resource has been exploited over the last century or more by local fishermen using indigenous fishing gear from locally sail-driven or oar-driven fishing crafts. In more recent times, the Fisheries Research Division of the Department of Fisheries undertook surveys of the seas and lagoons of Sri Lanka with a view to ascertain whether any unexploited resources of prawns existed. These publications deal with the species composition, biology, distribution and abundance in the lagoons and inshore waters of Sri Lanka.

Increased capacity per unit-cost by oversampling

It is demonstrated that doubling the sampling rate recovers some of the loss in capacity incurred on the bandlimited Gaussian channel with a one-bit output quantizer. © 2010 IEEE.

Derivation of a vector model for a Brushless Doubly-Fed Machine with multiple loops per nest

The paper presents a vector model for a Brushless Doubly-Fed Machine (BDFM). The BDFM has 4 and 8 pole stator windings and a nested-loop rotor cage. The rotor cage has six nests equally spaced around the circumference and each nest comprises three loops. All the rotor loops are short circuited via a common end-ring at one end. The vector model is derived based on the electrical equations of the machine and appropriate vector transformations. In contrast to the stator, there is no three phase circuit in the rotor. Therefore, the vector transformations suitable for three phase circuits can not be utilised for the rotor circuit. A new vector transformation is employed for the rotor circuit quantities. The approach presented in this paper can be extended for a BDFM with any stator poles combination and any number of loops per nest. Simulation results from the model implemented in Simulink are presented. © 2008 IEEE.

Perovskite-Like Mixed Oxides (LaSrMn1-x Ni (x) O4+delta, 0 a parts per thousand currency sign x a parts per thousand currency sign 1) as Catalyst for Catalytic NO Decomposition: TPD and TPR Studies

Catalytic NO decomposition on LaSrMn1-x Ni (x) O4+delta (0 a parts per thousand currency sign x a parts per thousand currency sign 1) is investigated. The activity of NO decomposition increases dramatically after the substitution of Ni for Mn, but decreases when Mn is completely replaced by Ni (x = 1.0). The optimum value is at x = 0.8. These indicate that the catalytic performance of the samples is contributed by the synergistic effect of Mn and Ni. O-2-TPD and H-2-TPR experiments are carried out to explain the change of activity. The former indicates that only when oxygen vacancy is created, could the catalyst show enhanced activity for NO decomposition; the latter suggests that the best activity is obtained from catalyst with the most matched redox potentials (in this work, the biggest Delta T and Delta E values).

Monitoramento da murcha do abacaxizeiro associada à cochonilha Dysmicoccus brevipes em áreas de sistema de produção integrada no Estado do Tocantins - ciclo 2010.

No Brasil, cultiva-se o abacaxizeiro, Ananas comosus (L) na maioria das regiões ,sendo a 'Pérola' a cultivar mais plantada. Apesar de seu aspecto rústico, essa bromeliácea, em uma produção comercial, exige tratos culturais e fitossanitários rigorosos, para evitar problemas como a murcha que está associada à cochonilha Dysmicoccus brevipes Cockerell (1893) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), cujas perdas na produção, em cultivares suscetíveis, podem ultrapassar os 80% (SANCHES, 2005). O mercado interno é ainda o mais visado pelos produtores de abacaxi, sendo a aquisição ou venda de mudas entre produtores uma prática muito comum que, propicia a dispersão desse inseto de uma propriedade para outra ou de uma região para outra. O Sistema de Produção Integrada de Abacaxi é uma prática de apoio aos produtores para atender as exigências crescentes do mercado consumidor quanto à produção de alimentos seguros. Esse sistema é baseado nas boas práticas agrícolas traduzindo em valorização do ser humano, conservação do meio ambiente (solo e água), melhoria da qualidade de vida dos produtores rurais, respeito à legislação trabalhista e segurança do trabalhador.
