Literature reports have indicated that application of
sonic pressure waves enhances the rate of impregnation of
preservatives in wood. However, these studies have been
limited and inconclusive. The technique or process is not
in commercial use. In this study a laboratory scale
treating cylinder connected to a mechanical sonic wave...
The marine fisheries sector in India is currently going through a phase of socio-economic cum ecological turbulence.
The rate of growth in marine fisheries production, as evidenced by recent studies, is plateauing, if not, declining.
The need for initiating management options that promote sustainable resource utilization and stable livelihood
security...
One means of evaluating the temperature requirements of an
animal is to determine changes temperature causes in the uses and
losses of energy and materials in the food the animal consumes. To
develop energy budgets for cichlids (Cichlasoma bimaculatum) at different
temperatures (20, 24, 28, 32 and 36 C) data...
Since its introduction in 1995 by Sun Microsystems, the Java programming language has been widely accepted by the software development community. Besides being a natural fit for Internet and World Wide Web (WWW) based applications, Java is also being used in other diverse application areas due to its simplicity, reduced...
Manufacturing exists as a stronghold for continuous growth and development of economies, a trend that is likely to continue as the demand for commodities and products grow. Manufacturing drives innovation and productivity in developed nations, as well as promoting economic stability and development in developing nations. However, manufacturing activities pose...
The goals of this dissertation are centered on understanding changes in Earth surface and climate systems through the use of geologic proxies as records of past changes in these systems. Specifically, this dissertation (1) establishes a new chronology for retreat of the Ross Sea sector of the West Antarctic Ice...

The concept of sustainable fisheries development has been socialized since the last decades by the Indonesian government. However, this concept has not been implemented in any fisheries aspects especially for the coastal fisheries, which have received a high pressure from fishing activities, industrial pollutions, household sewage, etc. Trammel net is...
This research addresses the large-scale group fleet replacement problem with multiple vehicle types of multiple units, under budget and demand constraints. Past research in group fleet replacement is limited and has focused on one vehicle type, with multiples units and constraints. Many studies in fleet replacement have also dealt with...
The eddy-covariance method often underestimates fluxes under stable, low-wind conditions at night when turbulence is not well developed. The most common approach to resolve the problem of nighttime flux underestimation is to identify and remove the deficit periods using friction-velocity (u*) threshold filters (u*[superscript Th]). This study modifies an accepted...
