Study on fishing gears, species selectivity toward gears and catch composition of BSKB beel, Khulna, Bangladesh

An investigation on the types of fishing gear used and their species selectivity and effects on fishes of BSKB beel in Khulna was conducted from June '95 to January '96. Fishermen were found to follow 6 fishing techniques viz., netting, trapping, angling, spearing, dewatering and hand picking. Among them 23 types of the fishing gear was recorded to be used by the fishermen of which 7, 8, 4 and 4 are nets, traps, hooks and lines, and hand harpoon respectively. A total of 47 species of fish were identified in the catches of different gears used by the fishermen in BSKB beel. Particulars, mode of operation, fishing season and catch composition of different fishing gears were determined. Seine, cast and lift net, traps (charo, arinda and ghuni), and hooks and lines (dhawn and nol broshi) were recorded as nonselective gear considering the fish species caught. However, gill nets (punti, koi and fash jal), clasp nets (bhuti jal), some traps (khadom, tubo), hooks and lines (chip borshi, chasra) and all spears were used as more or less selective gear. With respect to species and its size fash jal, bhuti jal, trap (khadom, ramani), and koach, juti and jhupi among spears were regarded to be more or less large-species-gear. But punti jal, koi jal, trap (koi dughair, charo, tubo, arinda and ghuni), nol borshi and spear (ful-kuchi) were small-species-gear. Among all gears seine net, cast net, lift net, koi dughair and ramani were recorded deleterious for carps especially for stocked fingerlings. For relatively small sized wild fishes koi jal, punti jal and ghuni traps were identified as detrimental gear

Boundary Critical Phenomena in SU(3) "Spin" Chains

SU(3)-invariant "spin" chains with a single impurity, such as a modified exchange coupling on one link, are analyzed using boundary conformal field theory techniques. These chains are equivalent to a special case of the "tJV" model, i.e. the t-J model with a nearest neighbour repulsion added. In the continuum limit they are equivalent to two free bosons at a special value of the compactification radii. The SU(3) symmetry, which is made explicit in this formulation, provides insight into the exact solution of a non-trivial boundary critical point found earlier in another formulation of this model as a theory of quantum Brownian motion.Comment: 19 pages, Rev Te

The Mangled Raven

Editor\u27s Note: The following introduction to the Automynorcagrammatical Raven is taken from a letter from JAL to Howard Bergerson, himself a contributor of a similar construction to Word Ways in November 1975. In an Automynorcagram, the initial letters of the successive words repeat the original message

Ultra high energy events in ECHOS series and primary energy spectrum

The compilation of ultra high energy jets suggests at present the existence of a bump in primary energy spectrum (with the standard concept of high energy collisions). The pseudo-rapidity distribution exhibits some typical anomalies, more than the (P sub t) behavior, which are (may be) the fingerprints of quark gluon plasma transition. The next results of Emulsion Chamber on Supersonic (ECHOS) will be in both cases determinant to confirm those tendancies, as well as an important effort of the cosmic ray community to develop in that sense a flying emulsion chamber experiment

Air transport policy in Japan

This paper reviews the development and status of the airline industry of Japan and the points of debate in the recent Japan-U.S. airline dispute. Until 1986, international routes were given only to Japan Air Lines, while domestic routes were dominated by All Nippon Airways, with minor shares given to JAL (major routes only) and Japan Air System (local, short-haul routes only). A policy change in 1986 allowed the three airlines to mutually expand into each other's routes. Major deregulation on airfares did not come until 1995-96. The original Japan-U.S. treaty of 1952 was "unfair" in the sense that the U.S. carriers were given more freedom than their Japanese counterparts, especially in "beyond rights." The amendments of 1982, 1985, and 1989 expanded the routes of Japanese airlines (JAL and new entries of ANA and JAS) as well as those of the new U.S. entrants (American and Delta). However, disputes remain between the two countries over routes, frequencies of flights, and beyond rights. Interestingly, these disputes are not always divided along national boundaries: Carriers with large market shares (JAL, United, Northwest and FEDEX) have an incentive to stall negotiations, while restricted carriers (ANA, Nippon Cargo Airlines, AA, DL, Continental, and UPS) are eager to open negotiations in order to expand their routes

PENYIMPANGAN EJAAN YANG DISEMPURNAKAN PADA SURAT LAMARAN KERJA MAHASISWA IKIP PGRI MADIUN (STUDI ANALISIS KESALAHAN BERBAHASA)

There are many errors on Job Application Letter (JAL) as task of lecture. The errors can be analizyzed based on EYD which consist of letters, words, and punctuations. Specifically, this research aims at explaining the errors of using letters, words, and punctuations on JAL for the students of IKIP PGRI Madiun. This research is descriptive qualitative explaining the phenomena occurred on JAL of IKIP PGRI Madiun students. The qualitative data research and primary data source research are gained using writing document technique of students JAL. The validation data technique used are method and experts triangulations. The technique of data analysis is using interactive model analysis. The result of this research shows that there are 25 similar errors of students JAL. The errors appeared at the 6 errors of using letters, 15 errors of using word, and 4 errors of using punctuations

Landmarks in Maltese Constitutional History 1849-1974

On 23 June 2011 the Central Bank of Malta hosted a high level symposium in Valletta on the occasion of the launch of the first in a series of five €2 coins commemorating landmarks in Maltese constitutional history. The speakers comprised Chief Justice Emeritus John J. Cremona, who had drafted the Malta Independence constitution of 1964, and President Emeritus Dr Ugo Mifsud Bonnici, who played a pivotal role in the negotiations to modify this constitution essentially by changing its model from that of a Constitutional Monarchy to one of a Republic in 1974. Both these distinguished panellists, therefore, spoke to a large extent from direct personal experience. The two other speakers were necessarily more academic in their presentations because they very validly discussed earlier constitutions, well beyond living memory. Dr Sergio Portelli, a university lecturer who holds a doctorate in Italian, spoke about the 1849 constitution, its Risorgimento associations and its aftermath, drawing to some extent on his doctoral thesis on a history of Italian language journalism in Malta. Dr Albert Ganado, a former president of the Malta Historical Society and very well versed in modern Maltese history, I asked to discuss the advent of representative government in 1887, through what some have called the 'Holland' constitution, a reference Sir Henry Holland (later Baron Knutsford) , who was the secretary of state for the colonies in London at the time that it was conceded, after a sustained and increasingly bitter nationalist struggle. This was a progressive development, allowing the Maltese a majority of elected members on the Council of Government - but, alas, not such a lasting one, as it would be withdrawn in 1903 when political viewpoints and attitudes came to a head and became irreconcilable.peer-reviewe
