William Francis Thompson (1888–1965) and the Dawn of Marine Fisheries Research in Californ

William Francis Thompson (1888–1965), an early fishery biologist, joined the California Fish and Game Commission in 1917 with a mandate to investigate the marine fisheries of the state. He initiated studies on the albacore tuna, Thunnus alalunga, and the Pacific sardine, Sardinops sagax, as well as studies on other economically important marine organisms. Thompson built up a staff of fishery scientists, many of whom later attained considerable renown in their field, and he helped develop, and then direct, the commission’s first marine fisheries laboratory. During his tenure in California, he developed a personal philosophy of research that he outlined in several publications. Thompson based his approach on the yield-based analysis of the fisheries as opposed to large-scale environmental studies. He left the state agency in 1925 to direct the newly formed International Fisheries Commission (now the International Pacific Halibut Commission). William Thompson became a major figure in fisheries research in the United States, and particularly in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, during the first half of the 20th cent

William Francis Thompson (1888–1965) and His Pioneering Studies of the Pacific Halibut, Hippoglossus stenolepis

William Francis Thompson (1888–1965), as a temporary employee of the British Columbia Provincial Fisheries Department, was assigned in 1914 to under-take full-time studies of the Pacific halibut, Hippoglossus stenolepis. The fishery was showing signs of depletion, so Thompson undertook the inquiry into this resource, the first intensive study on the Pacific halibut. Three years later, Thompson, working alone, had provided a basic foundation of knowledge for the subsequent management of this resource. He published seven land-mark papers on this species, and this work marked the first phase of a career in fisheries science that was to last nearly 50 years.

Philip公式确定吸渗率时间尺度研究

选用直径5 cm和10 cm的盘式吸渗仪,对杨凌土(粘土)和神木砂黄土(砂壤土)两种质地的土壤在1 cm、3 cm6、cm9、cm和12 cm水头5种负压下进行了室内盘式吸渗仪三维吸渗实验,选取Vandervaere公式作为参考模型,对Philip公式确定吸渗率的时间尺度选取进行了分析。结果表明,对两种质地的土壤,在相同盘径下,随着负压的降低,吸渗率随之减小;在相同负压下,盘径越小,吸渗率越大;质地较砂的砂黄土吸渗率明显大于质地较粘的土的吸渗率。从相对误差来看,两种质地土壤吸渗率均被高估;在同一盘径下,随着负压的减小,误差值逐渐降低;即在选取的时间范围内,负压越低,计算吸渗率的准确性越高。对土而言,5 cm盘径下-12 cm水头1、0 cm盘径下-9 cm水头和-12 cm水头时确定吸渗率的适宜时间分别为30~40 s和40~50 s;其余确定吸渗率的适宜时间均应小于30 s;对砂黄土而言,10 cm盘径下-9 cm水头和-12 cm水头时确定吸渗率的适宜时间分别为30~40 s和40~50 s,其余确定吸渗率的适宜时间也均应小于30 s。对于质地较砂的土壤推荐使用大盘径进行盘式吸渗仪实验。

Women's contribution to the development of the English novel: 1621-1818

Women's contribution to literature is no arbitrary or artificial distinction. However much the reformer may welcome, or the conservative lament, the growth of a harmonious sharing of ideals between men and women, that growth has been a hard-fought struggle. It has been an escape from a prison, which, when it did not entirely shut out the greater world, at least enclosed a little world of education meant for women, literature adapted to the supposed limitations of their intellect, and a course of action prescribed by the other sex. To show how the literary efforts of women developed and justified their claims to free activity is the purpose of this thesis.
