This paper explores, using an historical example, the challenges that small island economies face when they are heavily invested in one or two productive sectors, and where they have had privileged historical access to the resources that underpin those sectors, and suddenly that access is removed or reduced. The Islands...
Overcapacity situations appear regularly in the activity of marine natural resource exploitation. The measure of capacity utilisation and allocative efficiency for fishing vessels is an approach that can determine the details of that overcapacity. On the one hand, DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) methodology can be used in the case of...
The major purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of
interactive video in the teaching/learning process. More specifically,
a comparison was made of the relative effectiveness of interactive
video and linear video as delivery modes in the acquisition of basic
photography skills in an independent learning environment at...

A survey was conducted of graduating seniors, using a questionnaire to...
Technological switching and re-switching has been the subject of debates within economics. Under
assumptions of malleable capital in economies with multiple sectors, the wage-rent envelope can show
multiple re-switching. The interest of technological change and switching behavior for fisheries
economists and managers stems from the fact that the control of...
The French Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus) fishery is composed by almost 250 beam trawlers, mainly registered in nine different harbours disseminated from South Brittany to Oléron Island. Even if the main target is Norway Lobster, these fishermen also catch juvenile Hake, Sole and other commercial fishes. Both Norway Lobster and...
A large number of experiments were done to detect and identify
one or more intermediates involved in coupling ATP synthesis to
electron transport. Using mitochondria from blowflies, addition of
ADP after a period of incubation with Pi³² was found to give rise to a
temporarily rapid esterification (the "ATP jump"),...
Prettyprinters are software tools that format program source code so that it conforms to certain standards of consistency and hence improves readability. Traditionally, these standards were fixed for a particular prettyprinter as indicated by a literature survey, with very little or no supporting evidence that the formatting style improves readability....
