Solutions to the variable permeability magnetostatic field
problem are achieved in both rectangular and cylindrical coordinates
for a wide variety of magnet geometries. The resulting
difference equations are solved iteratively and a method is
provided which substantially increases the rate of convergence
for these type of problems. Magnetization curves for...
National Standard 1 states that a primary function of fisheries management in the single stock case is the determination of the annual allowable harvest, and it is based on the selection of a target stock size and a control rule that will specify a harvest path that that will cause...
With the publication of the NOAA Draft Policy on Catch Shares, which
encourages US Management Councils to adopt Catch Share Programs (yet
another new name for LAPs, ITQs, or IFQs) there will likely be more
deliberations on such programs. With changes mandated in the revised
Magnuson-Stevens Act and the suggestions...
The purpose of this study was to determine whether one ear
of a profoundly deaf student could duplicate a response rate
similar to the response rate achieved by the opposite ear on an
auditory training program. The formal hypothesis of this study
was: a student that reaches criterion level of...
Historically, researchers have used surveys, focus groups, and anecdotal evidence to evaluate consumer response to environmentally certified, ecolabeled forest products. These methods generally measure consumer attitudes toward certified forest products. Since the strength of the correlation between attitudes
and behavior has long been questioned, consumer response to certified forest products...
While most bioeconomic models assume that vessel operators use profit maximizing behavior, it is sometimes argued that participants use other operational goals. The purpose of this paper is to compare how vessel behavior, the bioeconomic equilibrium and the path to achieve it are changed if participants use profit goal behavior....
Since many 1, 4, 5, 6-tetrahydropyrimidines have become available
and commercially useful in recent years, a study of the chemistry
of certain of these compounds has been undertaken.
2-Hydroxy- and 2-mercapto-1, 4, 5, 6-tetrahydropyrimidine
have been synthesized by the condensation of urea and thiourea, respectively,
with 1, 3-propanediamine, with yields...
The current Senate Bill to reauthorize the Magnuson/Stevens Act, the key US fishery management law,
will allow some significant changes in the way that Individual Transferable Quota programs can be
developed. First, the bill will expand the range of individuals who will be permitted to obtain harvesting
privileges. In addition...
The presents a theoretical analysis of the operation of a commercial fishery in the presence of marine reserves. The sustainable yield and revenue curves for reserves are derived and compared to the analogous curves with no reserves. It is shown that reserves will always reduce the sustainable harvest for any...
Weitzman (2002) has shown that with a stochastic growth function and uncertainty in estimating stock size, landing fees will be superior to quotas as a means of controlling fish harvest. Hannesson and Kennedy (2003) expand the analysis by considering variable availability of fish, random fish prices, and non-constant returns to...
