Guidelines For Granting Aquaculture Leases., Fisheries Wa, Aquaculture Development Council, Aquaculture Council Of Wa

Fisheries Management Papers

The Western Australian Government is committed to the development of aquaculture within a framework of environmental sustainability. This discussion paper will deal with issues related to the granting of leases for aquaculture and will set out a process for the management of aquaculture leases and associated licences. It will be the basis for presaring the draft Ministerial Policy Guidelines for the granting of aquaculture leases.

Results Of Investigations Into The Groundwater Response And Productivity Of High Water Use Agricultural Systems 1990-1997. 2. Souths' Catchment (Darkan), A D. Smith, Richard J. George Dr, P R. Scott, D L. Bennett, R J. Rippon, G J. Orr

Resource management technical reports

High water use vegetation systems for salinity control were trialed on a 90 ha catchment located 12 km north north-west of Darkan, Western Australia. The catchment receives about 560 mm annual rainfall and 1895 mm annual evaporation. The catchment is characterised by a number of actively expanding seeps which are developing under the strong geological control of quartz and dolerite dykes. Development of salinity is also influenced by high recharge rates in the free draining gravel soils of the upper slope.

Kolmogorov Complexity Justifies Software Engineering Heuristics, Ann Q. Gates, Vladik Kreinovich, Luc Longpre

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

The "clean bill of health" produced by such a technique does not guarantee that the program is actually correct. In this paper, we show that several heuristic techniques for software testing that have been developed in software engineering can be rigorously justified. In this justification, we use Kolmogorov complexity to formalize the terms "simple" and "random" that these techniques use. The successful formalization of simple heuristics is a good indication that Kolmogorov complexity may be useful in formalizing more complicated heuristics as well.

Invariants Of Twist-Wise Flow Equivalence, Michael C. Sullivan

Articles and Preprints

Flow equivalence of irreducible nontrivial square nonnegative integer matrices is completely determined by two computable invariants, the Parry-Sullivan number and the Bowen-Franks group. Twist-wise flow equivalence is a natural generalization that takes account of twisting in the local stable manifold of the orbits of a flow. Two new invariants in this category are established.

Gray Wolf (Canis Lupus)

Rocky Mountain Wolf Recovery: Annual Reports

Historically, most Native Americans revered gray wolves, trying to emulate their cunning and hunting abilities. However, wolves became nearly extinct in the lower 48 states in the early part of the 20th century because settlers believed wolves caused widespread livestock losses. Constantly persecuted and targeted by large scale predator eradication programs sponsored by the federal government, wolves have been pursued with more passion and determination than any other animal in U.S. history. By the time wolves were finally protected by the Endangered Species Act of 1973, they had been exterminated from the lower 48 states, except for a few hundred …

Recovery Plan For The Blue Whale (Balaenoptera Musculus), Randall R. Reeves, Phillip J. Clapham, Robert L. Brownell Jr., Gregory K. Silber

United States Department of Commerce: Staff Publications

Recovery plans identify reasonable actions which are believed to be required to recover and/or protect endangered species. Plans are prepared by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and sometimes with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, State agencies, and others. This plan was prepared by Randall R. Reeves, Phillip J. Clapham, Robert L. Brownell, Jr., and Gregory K. Silber for NMFS. Recovery plans do not necessarily represent the views nor the official positions or approvals of any individuals or agencies, other than those of NMFS, and they represent the views of NMFS …

Seasonal Variation In Reception Of Fin Whale Calls At Five Geographic Areas In The North Pacific

United States Department of Commerce: Staff Publications

In late August 1991 scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Marine Mammal Laboratory (NMML) and Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) began a pilot study to investigate the capability of hydrophones from the US. Navy’s fixed array system to detect large whales in the North Pacific by passive reception of their calls. PMEL had previously established a direct data link from five bottom-mounted arrays of the Navy SOSUS (Sound Surveillance System), via the Naval Oceanographic Processing Facility (NOPF) at Whidbey Island, Washington, to study low-level seafloor seismicity (Fox et al. 1994). PMEL subsequently provided NMML tapes of …

Magnetoelectric Néel Anisotropies, Ralph Skomski

Ralph Skomski Publications

The applicability of Néel's pair model to metallic 3d surfaces and interfaces is explained in terms of the tight-binding moments theorem. The Néel model reproduces itinerant magnetism so long as the band structure is approximated by third-moment atomic-pair contributions. This establishes an atomic Néel description of interfaces and impurities. The Néel parameter g depends on the d-band filling and, to some extent, on the atomic structure.

Experimental Observation Of Correlated Magnetic Reconnection And Alfvénic Ion Jets, Thomas W. Kornack , '98, Peter K. Sollins , '98, Michael R. Brown

Physics & Astronomy Faculty Works

Correlations between magnetic reconnection and energetic ion flow events have been measured with merging force free spheromaks at the Swarthmore Spheromak Experiment. The reconnection layer is measured with a linear probe array and ion flow is directly measured with a retarding grid energy analyzer. Flow has been measured both in the plane of the reconnection layer and out of the plane. The most energetic events occur in the reconnection plane immediately after formation as the spheromaks dynamically merge. The outflow velocity is nearly Alfvenic. As the spheromaks form equilibria and decay, the flow is substantially reduced.

A Study Of Gender And Subject Area On Student Test Score Prediction, Slade Spencer

Theses and Dissertations

The goal of student self assessment in this study was to give the instructor feedback – first hand knowledge of the level of understanding/comprehension the students have of the concepts in a given subject area. The purpose for test score predictions was to enable the classroom teacher to teach the areas of subject matter that were needed, not teach what has already been mastered as a skill.

Previous research has shown mixed results in the area of whether gender or subject area affects test score prediction. This provided support for the dual null hypotheses. There is not a significant relationship …

Financing The Palliser Triangle, 1908-1913, Warren M. Elofson, John Feldberg

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

A decade ago, David C. Jones compellingly described the immense ecological and human tragedy that occurred in the southern, semiarid districts of Alberta and Saskatchewan in the late 1910s and early 1920s.¹ Prior to World War I settlers poured into these provinces buoyed by dreams of a better life, but in the decade or so following 1915 many who had taken homesteads in the so-called Palliser Triangle saw their hopes shattered by successive years of drought and crop failure. One of the crucial vehicles in this tragedy was the financial institution. Between 1908 and 1913 investment firms made available …

Bankruptcy, W. Homer Drake Jr., Michael M. Duclos

Mercer Law Review

Unlike past years when the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit issued a tremendous number of bankruptcy decisions each term, 1997 turned out to be a very quiet year because the Eleventh Circuit issued only eight opinions addressing matters arising under the Bankruptcy Code. This Article is a survey of those 1997 bankruptcy decisions.
