Blocking Java Applets at the Firewall

This paper explores the problem of protecting a site on the Internet against hostile external Java applets while allowing trusted internal applets to run. With careful implementation, a site can be made resistant to current Java security weaknesses as well as those yet to be discovered. In addition, we describe a new attack on certain sophisticated firewalls that is most effectively realized as a Java applet

Study oin the growth of Olive ridley Lepidochelys olivacea in captivity

The growth of olive ridley lepidochelys olivacea in captivity has been studied from emergence to 47 months. The carapace length increased from 37 mm at the time of emergence to 528 mm in 47 month old turtle and the weight increased from 16.3 gm to 19.5 kg. The growth recorded here is higher than those reported by previous authors. Sex could not be differentiated externally even in 47 month old olive ridley

The marine turtles and their conservation

Marine turtles of our waters are included in the The wild Life (Protection) Act 1972, sechedule I. They are also been incorporated in CITES. Capture of sea turtles is an offense under the existing laws

Seminar on Potential Marine Fishery Resources - Proceedings and Recommendations

The seminar was organized by the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute at Cochin on 23rd April 1986, marking the occasion of the Institute's moving into its own permanent building. The objective of the seminar was to find ways and means of bridging the gap between the estimated potential marine fishery resources of the country and the present level of actual yield from the exploited stocks. Considering the increasing demand for marine fish and the potential for export of marine products, critical information on the presently exploited stocks and those identified as under-exploited or unexploited resources is vitally essential for suggesting management and other measures to obtain optimum yields from these resources

Evaluating alternatives for housing India's urban poor : design studies, model and application in Ahmedabad

Thesis (M.S.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1982.MICROFICHE COPY AVAILABLE IN ARCHIVES AND ROTCH.Includes bibliographical references (p. 68).The study evaluates the three alternatives identified by the (National) Planning Commission for housing the Urban Poor in India: Upgrading, site and services, and housing. The basis for evaluation is the relationship of the cost of development to the cost of each of the components in development and the number of beneficiaries. The framework for evaluation is proposed as a model to assist: 1 ) Project designers to identify the relative importance of the various design parameters in development and to indicate quickly to the concerned agencies the impact of standards and regulations, 2) State and local agencies to determine the affordable standards, and 3) Allocation of available National resources by choosing affordable alternatives for housing the urban poor. The application of the model is illustrated for Ahmedabad. Conclusions are drawn from the application and for a specific set of assumptions. The assumptions governing the values assigned to the parameters of the model are based on case studies and design studies for three low-income settlements in Ahmedabad.by Rajagopalan M.

Role of marine macrophytes as feed for green turtle Chelonia mydas

This paper deals with the food and feeding habits of the green turtle Chelonia mydas caught incidentally in different fishing gears during 1998 – 2000 at Tuticorin and Pamban areas. The seaweeds and seagrasses observed in their gut contents are Gelidiella acerosa, Hypnea valentiae, Solieria robusta, Sargassum spp, Pocockiella variegata, Dictyota dichotoma,Halimeda macroloba, Caulerpa fergusonii, Ulva reticulata and Chaetomorpha sp (seaweeds), Halophila ovalis, Thalassia hemprichii and Cymodocea serrulata (seagrasses). The marine macrophytes play the major role in the survival of adult animals since they are purely herbivores

Fisheries oceanography – processes, patterns & variability- Winter School on towards Ecosystem Based Management of Marine Fisheries – Building Mass Balance Trophic and Simulation Models

Oceanography is the scientific discipline concerned with all aspects of the world's oceans and seas, including their physical and chemical properties, their origin and geologic framework, and the life forms that inhabit the marine environment. Traditionally, oceanography has been studied under four separate but related branches: physical oceanography, chemical oceanography, marine geology, and marine ecology. Meteorology is another subject closely related to oceanography and inseparably linked to the physical processes of the ocean

Impact of rise in seawater temperature on the spawning of threadfin Breams

Fish have strong temperature preferences to spawning. Several species of marine fish are known to spawn only at favorable water temperature that is known to trigger the process of spawning activities. The annually recurring events of life-cycle such as timing of spawning can provide particularly sensitive indicators of changes in climatic change. Many evidences of phenological changes are now available for terrestrial organisms. There is now ample evidence of the effects of climatic change on various biota over the last decades, but the literature on the effects of climate on phenological aspects in marine ecosystems is meager
