School Funding Reality: A Bargain Not Kept

Examines how Massachusetts' 1993 inflation-adjusted mechanism designed to preserve funding equity among districts has not kept pace with healthcare costs and how it affects teachers, education materials, training, class size, and the neediest districts

Pacific herring, Clupea pallasi, studies and fishery management in Tomales Bay, 1993-94, with notes on Humbolt and Crescent City area landings

The 1993-94 spawning biomass estimate for Pacific herring, Clupea pallasi, in Tomales Bay declined 40% from last season to 2,449 tons. Although this estimate is below the 20-year average of 4,700 tons, the spawning biomass estimate this year is close to the post 1982 El Nino 11-year average of 2,054 tons. The overall trend of increasing biomass since the 1989-90 season still continues. There were eight distinct spawns this season, the most in five years, with the largest spawn occurring in late January. A total of 3.5 million m2 of eelgrass, Zostera marina, was measured in Tomales Bay this season. Eelgrass density increased in the majority of the beds. The commercial gillnet fleet in Tomales Bay caught a total of 219 tons of herring this season yielding an exploitation rate of 8.9%. Herring aged four, five, and six comprised 90% by number of this season's commercial gill net catch. Mean weight of herring ages three, six, and seven decreased slightly over last season while increases were seen for ages four, five, and eight. Mean length of commercial caught herring increased slightly over 1992-93. Department variable-mesh gill nets caught a total of 455 herring of which 232 were aged. The dominant age class was four-yr-olds comprising 27% of the sample by number, followed by six-yr-olds representing the highly successful 1988 year class. In Humboldt Bay, the 1993-94 commercial catch of 62.8 tons was about 5% over the 1993-94 season quota of 60 tons and was well above Humboldt Bay's 21-year average catch of 40.4 tons. Crescent City area herring fishermen caught 32.5 tons, approximately 2% over the season quota for the Crescent City area. The 1993-94 season commercial catch is well above the 20-year average of 23.7 tons for this area. (31pp.

PERENCANAAN DESAIN PERKERASAN KAKU (RIGID PAVEMENT) MENGGUNAKAN METODE BINA MARGA 2017 DAN AASHTO 1993 JALAN TOL SERPONG – BALARAJA SEKSI 1B STA 5+150 – STA 9+845

This final assignment examines rigid pavement on toll roads. The purpose of this planning is to plan the pavement design and budget the costs that need to be incurred in toll road planning. So it is necessary to plan the pavement using the 2017 Bina Marga and AASHTO 1993 methods. The data required includes traffic volume data, rainfall data, technical data, soil data. After collecting all the data, planning is carried out using the 2017 Bina Marga and AASHTO methods. 1993 then ended with a RAB calculation that was in accordance with the thickness of the pavement planned for the Serpong – Balaraja toll road so that the design results using the 1993 AASHTO method produced a concrete slab thickness of 42 cm and a foundation layer of 10 cm, whereas in planning using the 2017 Bina Marga method the thickness was obtained. concrete slab around 30.5 cm, foundation layer (LC) 10 cm and foundation layer under class B aggregate 15 cm. Meanwhile, the cost budget plans obtained from each method have different results. For the 2017 Bina Marga rigid pavement method, the planned cost is IDR 73,721,843,085.0. Meanwhile, using the AASHTO 1993 method, the resulting cost plan is IDR 93,313,825,729. This cost budget plan has differences due to different rigid pavement thickness planning results

Critical behaviour of a surface reaction model with infinitely many absorbing states

In a recent letter [J. Phys. A26, L801 (1993)], Yaldram et al. studied the critical behaviour of a simple lattice gas model of the CO-NO catalytic reaction. The model exhibits a second order nonequilibrium phase transition from an active state into one out of infinitely many absorbing states. Estimates for the critical exponent $\beta$ suggested that the model belongs to a new universality class. The results reported in this article contradict this notion, as estimates for various critical exponents show that the model belongs to the universality class of directed percolation.Comment: 10p+5fig, LaTeX+fig in uuencoded P

Pacific Herring, Clupea pallasi, spawning population assessment for San Francisco Bay, 1992-93

We conducted hydroacoustic surveys, spawn surveys, and sampled schools and fishery landings from 8 November 1992 through 18 March 1993 to assess the status of San Francisco Bay's Pacific herring spawning population. Our spawning biomass estimate of 21,186 tons is the lowest since 1978 when subtidal spawns were included in estimates; it also represents a third consecutive season of decline. The principal reason for this very low estimate is a lack of two-, three-, and four-year-old herring in the spawning population from the 1991,1990, and 1989 year-classes. Although four-year-olds were the most abundant cohort, their actual number was very low. Five-year-olds from the highly successful 1988 year-class were the second most abundant cohort. Warm-water conditions and poor upwelling associated with the 1991-92 El Nino are likely causes of the low spawning biomass, although adverse impacts on the condition and growth of spawners were not apparent. Warm water may have displaced herring to the north of San Francisco Bay. We also continued to collect data for a herring young-of-the-year abundance index during April, May, and June of 1993. The index was low for the 1990 and 1991 year-classes, but high for the 1989 year-class. The 1989 and 1990 year-classes appear poor; however, the success of the 1991 year-class will not be known until next season when it fully recruits to the spawning population.The index for the 1992 year-class is relatively low as is the index for 1993. The season's 5,555-ton quota (based on the previous season's biomass estimate) exceeded our harvest goal of no more than 20% of spawning biomass for the first time since the 1970s. The number of three-year-old fish in gill net catches increased substantially this season, possibly indicating the use of smaller mesh. Because of the extremely low spawning biomass and uncertainty about future recruitment, our recommendation to the Fish and Game Commission was to close the herring roe fishery in San Francisco Bay until the season following a spawning biomass estimate of 26,000 tons.
