A review of the Japanese longline fishery for tunas and billfishes in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, 1967-1970

ENGLISH: This report deals with the Japanese longline fishery for tunas and billfishes from 1967 through 1970, extending the studies made by Kume and Joseph (1969a, 1969b). The distribution of effort and catch is discussed and evaluated, and the changes in apparent abundance are examined. An analysis is made of the sexual maturity and size composition of the fish, and a brief comparison of the size composition of the catches from the longline and the surface fisheries is included.

Folk Songs, Youth, and Propaganda: Music of the Third Reich

As the world watched the rise of a new political power in Central Europe, the German youth perceived a new, exciting movement sweep through their backyard. The Third Reich gained control over Germany through the planning and organization of Hitler and his Nazis. Hitler sought to construct his pure society, accomplished through the orzanization of the sovernment and the National Socialist German Workers\u27 Party b . b (NSDAP). While their nation made drastic shifts politically, the rich history of German art music and folk music played into the changes during the rise of the Nazi party. German culture was formed in part through a deep history of folk music within their society and Hitler was meticulous about the music he personally promoted within the Third Reich. It was this combination that resulted in the use of art music and folk music as propaganda for Nazi Germany

Palladium(II)-catalyzed organic transformations employing oxygen gas as the stoichiometric reoxidant

The organic transformations promoted by palladium(II) species have historically required either stoichiometric amounts of metal or the stoichiometric use of a chemical reoxidant, such as benzoquinone or Cu(II) salts. In recent years, several reports have described the use of oxygen gas as the stoichiometric reoxidant in Pd(II) chemistry. This advance has made the chemistry of Pd(II) more attractive because of reductions in cost and waste generation. This development has also encouraged researchers to probe the scope and limitation of Pd(II) chemistry using oxygen gas as the sole reoxidant of the metal. Three such organic transformations have been investigated and are herein described;An efficient system for the palladium-catalyzed oxidation of primary and secondary allylic and benzylic alcohols has been developed using O2 as the sole reoxidant of the palladium. The conditions have been applied to a wide variety of substrates producing the desired carbonyl compounds in moderate to excellent yields. The reaction has been shown to be effective on a 100 mmol scale with no change in reactivity or yield;Reaction conditions for the palladium(II)-catalyzed dehydrogenation of [beta]-dicarbonyl compounds have been pursued. The optimized conditions showed good results with benzyl substituted [beta]-dicarbonyl compounds, but simple aliphatic substituents proved relatively unreactive. By varying the reaction conditions low yields of unsaturated products from the aliphatic substituted substrates could be achieved;Several derivatives of olefinic amines have been subjected to palladium(II)-catalyzed cyclization conditions in a model system based on 2-(2-cyclopentenyl)ethanamine to form 5,5-bicyclic amine derivatives. The reactivity order for the derivatives was found to be tosylamide, formamide \u3e urea, benzylcarbamate \u3e acetamide \u3e benzamide \u3e trifluoroacetamide. The same derivatives were also examined for their efficiency in forming 6,5- and 5,6-bicyclic and 5-cyclic ring systems. The reactivity order was not observed to change with system, but only the tosylamide, formamide, benzylcarbamate and benzylurea were found to be synthetically useful for every system examined. Substrates that were intended to contain the carbonyl function of the derivative within the newly forming ring were found to be unreactive except in one case involving a biscyclization of a benzylurea derivative to form a tricyclic product

Airborne measurements of tropospheric ozone destruction and particulate bromide formation in the Arctic

Aircraft profiles of O3 concentrations over the Arctic ice pack in spring exhibit a depletion of O3 beneath the surface temperature inversion. One such profile from the NOAA WP-3D Arctic Gas and Aerosol Sampling Program (AGASP) flights in April, 1986 north of Alert, NWT (YLT, 82.5 N) is shown. The gradient of O3 across the temperature inversion, which is essentially a step function from tropospheric values (35 to 40 ppbv) to 0, is somewhat masked by a 1-min running mean applied to the data. Evidence is presented that O3 destruction beneath the Arctic temperature inversion is the result of a photochemical reaction between gaseous Br compounds and O3 to produce particulate Br aerosol. It is noted that in springtime, O3 at the Alert Baseline Station regularly decreases from 30 to 40 ppbv to near 0 over the period of a few hours to a day. At the same time, there is a production of particulate Br with a near 1.0 anti-correlation to O3 concentration. Surface concentrations of bromoform in the Arctic exhibit a rapid decrease following polar sunrise. AGASP aircraft measurements of filterable bromine particulates in the Arctic (March-April, 1983 and 1986) are shown. The greatest concentrations of Br aerosol (shown as enrichment factors relative to to Na in seawater, EFBR (Na)) were observed in samples collected beneath the surface temperature inversion over ice. Samples collected at the same altitude over open ocean (off Spitzbergen) labeled Marine did not exhibit similar Br enrichments. A second region of particulate Br enrichment was observed in the lower stratosphere, which regularly descends to below 500 mb (5.5 km) in the high Arctic. The NOAA WP-3D flew in the stratosphere on all AGASP flights and occasionally measured O3 concentrations in excess of 300 ppbv

Strategic Human Resource Planning In Academia

A strategic plan guides a college in successfully meeting its mission.  Based on the strategic plan, a college can develop a human resource plan that will allow it to make management decisions in the present to support the future direction of the college.  The overall purpose of human resource management is to:ensure the organization has adequate human resources to meet it goals and operational plansallow the organization to stay apprised of the current social, economic, legislative and technological trends that affect human resources, and allow the organization to remain flexible to the dynamic changes in the environment. Human resource management identifies the future needs of the college after analyzing the college's current human resources, the external labor market, and the future human resource environment in which the college will be operating. The analysis of issues external to the college, and developing scenarios about the future, are what distinguishes human resource management from operational planning. The basic questions to be answered for strategic human resource management are:Where are we going? Given the circumstances, how will we get there? This article seeks to provide a framework for strategic human resource planning in academia

Some classes of smooth bimodules over II1_1 factors and their associated 1-cohomology spaces

We study several classes of Banach bimodules over a II$_1$ factor $M$, endowed with topologies that make them ``smooth'' with respect to $L^p$-norms implemented by the trace on $M$. Letting M\subset \B= \B(L^2M), and $2\leq p < \infty$, we consider: $(1)$ the space \B(p), obtained as the completion of \B in the norm \vertiii{T}_p := \sup \{|\varphi(T)| \mid \varphi \in \B^*, \sup\{|\varphi(xYz)| \mid Y\in (\B)_1, x, z \in M\cap (L^pM)_1\} \leq 1 \}; $(2)$ the subspace \K(p)\subset \B(p), obtained as the closure in \B(p) of the space of compact operators \K(L^2M); $(3)$ the space \K_p\subset \B of operators that are \vertiii{ \, \cdot \, }_p-limits of bounded sequences of operators in \K(L^2M). We prove that \K_p are all equal to the {\it $\tau$-rank-completion} of \K(L^2M) in \B, defined by \begin{align} \text{\rm q}\K_M:= \{K\in \B(L^2M) \mid & \exists K_n \in \K(L^2M), p_n\in \mathcal P(M), \nonumber \\ & \lim_n \|p_n(K-K_n)p_n\|= 0, \lim_n\tau(1-p_n)=0\}. \nonumber \end{align} We show that any separable II$_1$ factor $M$ admits non-inner derivations into \text{\rm q}\K_M, but that any derivation \delta:M \rightarrow \text{\rm q}\K_M is a pointwise limit in $\tau$-rank-metric of inner derivations.Comment: 30 page
