This document provides the latest science and best biological judgment to assist in making management decisions. Fortunately, recent emphasis on sage-grouse conservation has resulted in a substantial number of publications dealing with a variety of aspects of sage-grouse ecology and management, summarized in the 2010 listing petition (75 FR 13910),...
The 1971 report includes catch/effort data and reviews of the major groundfish fisheries. The report also includes historic trawl fishery data of all agencies and their current market sampling techniques.
In 1961, the Technical Sub-Committee of the International Trawl Fishing Committee considered the petrale sole fishery: regulations, statistics, a report on fish-tagging experiments, and trends for the fishery. The group also considered mesh sizes and minimum sizes regulations for all species of bottomfish, and the Russo-Japanese fishery in the Eastern...
The 1963 report includes status reports on important bottomfish fisheries, a review of catch/effort assessment techniques, a catalog of market sampling techniques, a summary of otter trawl regulations, and preliminary results of fish-tagging experiments.
The 1969 report included catch/effort data, reviews of major fisheries and cumulative summaries of fish-tagging studies. Other topics considered included size limits on ling cod and sablefish. A new data exchange of computer programs was initiated. The report includes a synopsis of otter trawl regulations in effect as of July...
In addition to the standard reports on the status of major fisheries, catch/effort data, and cumulative groundfish tag recoveries, the 1968 report focused on the developing hake fishery and international fishery issues. A new agreement with the Soviet Union lessened the presence of the Soviet fishing fleet off the coast....
The 1970 report considers catch/effort, statuses of major fisheries, and cumulative fish tagging data. Other topics included a groundfish bibliography, international fishery problems, and the sablefish fishery. The report includes a synopsis of otter trawl regulations and their rationale as of July 1, 1970.

example, do foragers choose solely based on cost, or do
they stubbornly pursue certain diets regardless of cost? Do
their debugging strategies vary with their diets? To investigate

Standard accounts of women's relationship with technology stress women's need to overcome anxiety to achieve competence with computers. Recent studies provide evidence that this woman-anxiety-technology connection is an oversimplification of the relationship between women and computers. New literature also suggests that making computers more appealing will help girls overcome computational...

We present a methodology for creating a simulated foam microstructure for use in forward simulations of wave equations to quantitatively analyze the expected scattering phenomenon primarily responsible for the attenuation of interrogating signals in Sprayed-On Foam Insulation (SOFI). Our approach builds off of the popular use of Voronoi Tessalations for...
We consider an SI model of three competing species that are all affected by a single pathogen which is transmitted directly via mass action. The total population sizes of the three species satisfy a three-dimensional Lotka-Volterra competition model. We address the interaction between competition and disease dynamics, and show that...
We study the stability properties of, and the phase error present in, several higher order (in space) staggered finite difference schemes for Maxwell's equations coupled with a Debye or Lorentz polarization model. We present a novel expansion of the symbol of finite difference approximations, of arbitrary (even) order, of the...

Industrial training in the Fashion Apparel Industry is confronted with difficult objectives. In this industry, continual style and fabric change challenge the effectiveness of conventional industrial training techniques and concepts. To meet this challenge, the "Self-Help" training concept was developed. "Self-Help" centers around the philosophy of training sewing machine operators...
