A U.S. Perspective on Access to Fisheries Resources

The passage of the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 (MFCMA) and the establishment of a 200-mile exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in 1983 have resulted in a radical change in the pattern of foreign fishing operations off the U. S. coasts. Likewise, the extensions of 200-mile EEZ's by other nations have impacted U.S. distant-water fisheries. The result has been that a new international framework for fisheries is emerging and is continuing to evolve.

Sistema de estimativa do melhor caminho multiponto a multiponto em um espaço geográfico.

Esta dissertação apresenta o desenvolvimento de um sistema de tomada de decisão que propõe uma metodologia inteligente, de tal maneira a efetuar a melhor alocação possível de um grupo de usuários a um grupo de recursos em um espaço geográfico. Tal metodologia se baseou na lógica fuzzy e ao longo da dissertação foram feitas comparações com outras técnicas, como o Algoritmo Ingênuo e a Busca Exaustiva. O conjunto de dados que foi adotado como o escopo desse trabalho foi a matrícula de alunos do município de Nova Iguaçu.

Water Resources in West Cumbria November 1976

This is the Water Resources in West Cumbria November 1976 report produced by the North West Water Authority. The report focuses on the provision of additional supplies of water in West Cumbria. In certain areas of West Cumbria difficulties arose in meeting peak demands. Moreover British Nuclear Fuels Ltd. (B.N.F.L) required additional water supplies. The area under consideration forms the western edge of the Lake District National Park and all the sources considered in this report, apart from the aquifer in the immediate vicinity of Calder Hall, lie wholly or partly within the National Park boundaries. The Rivers Ehen, Calder and Irt support migratory trout and salmon and are angling streams of a high quality. Amenity considerations therefore play an important part in determining the location and extent of any development.
