Organization, functions, and achievements of the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission

ENGLISH: The Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) operates under the authority and direction of a Convention originally entered into by the governments of Costa Rica and the United States. The Convention, which came into force in 1950, is open to the adherence by other governments whose nationals participate in the fisheries for tropical tunas in the eastern Pacific Ocean. The member nations of the Commission now are t in addition to Costa Rica and the United States, Canada, France, Japan, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Panama.This report is a description of the organization, functions, and achievements of the Commission. It has been prepared to provide in a convenient format answers to requests for information concerning the Commission. It replaces a similar, earlier report (Carroz, 1965), which is now largely outdated. SPANISH: La Comisión Interamericana del Atún Tropical (CIAT) funciona bajo la autoridad y dirección de un Convenio firmado originalmente por los gobiernos de Costa Rica y los Estados Unidos de America. El Convenio, que entro en vigencia en 1950, se encuentra libre para que otros gobiernos cuyos ciudadanos participen en la pesca de atunes tropicales en el Océano Pacifico oriental se afilien a el. Las naciones miembros de la Comisión, además de Costa Rica y los Estados Unidos, son Cañada, Francia, Japón, México, Nicaragua y Panamá.

Organization, functions, and achievements of the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission

This report is a description of the organization, functions, and achievements of the IATTC. It has been prepared to provide, in a convenient format, answers to requests for information concerning the IATTC. It replaces similar, earlier reports (Carroz, 1965; IATTC Spec. Rep., 1 and 5), which are now largely outdated. In order to make each section of the report independent of the others, some aspects of the IATTC are described in more than one section. For example, work on the early life history of tunas financed by the Overseas Fishery Cooperation Foundation of Japan is mentioned in the subsection entitled Finance, the subsection entitled Biology of tunas and billfishes, and the section entitled RELATIONS WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS. Due to space constraints, however, it is not possible to describe the IATTC's activities in detail in this report. Additional information is available in publications of the IATTC, listed in Appendix 6, and in its web site, www.iattc.org. Many abbreviations are used in this report. The names of the organizations or the terms are written out the first time they are used, and, for convenience, they are also listed in the Glossary.

Teoria de controle ótimo com aplicações a sistemas biológicos

Neste trabalho apresentamos as etapas para a utilização do método da Programação Dinâmica, ou Princípio de Otimização de Bellman, para aplicações de controle ótimo. Investigamos a noção de funções de controle de Lyapunov (FCL) e sua relação com a estabilidade de sistemas autônomos com controle. Uma função de controle de Lyapunov deverá satisfazer a equação de Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (H-J-B). Usando esse fato, se uma função de controle de Lyapunov é conhecida, será então possível determinar a lei de realimentação ótima; isto é, a lei de controle que torna o sistema globalmente assintóticamente controlável a um estado de equilíbrio. Como aplicação, apresentamos uma modelagem matemática adequada a um problema de controle ótimo de certos sistemas biológicos. Este trabalho conta também com um breve histórico sobre o desenvolvimento da Teoria de Controle de forma a ilustrar a importância, o progresso e a aplicação das técnicas de controle em diferentes áreas ao longo do tempo.
