Since 1999, the scallop fisheries have been granted access to closed areas on Georges Bank, and the
access programs have been managed through individual vessel quotas for scallops, and a common-pool
total allowable catch (TAC) for yellowtail flounder bycatch. The scallop resource is neither overfished

Earth system processes exhibit complex patterns across time, as do the models that seek to replicate these processes. Model output may or may not be significantly related to observations at different times and on different frequencies. Conventional model diagnostics provide an aggregate view of model–data agreement, but usually do not...
Straight, radial, erosional channels and fan-like deposits of tephra develop around steep-sided cones and composite volcanoes, but are not characteristic features of shield volcanoes. The channels and deposits normally are formed by explosive volcanic density currents which originate as nuées adrentes or base surges. The physical processes of explosive volcanic...
The Asian vinegar fly Drosophila suzukii (spotted wing Drosophila [SWD]) has emerged as a major invasive insect pest of small and stone fruits in both the Americas and Europe since the late 2000s. While research efforts have rapidly progressed in Asia, North America, and Europe over the past 5 years,...
The electrochemistry of the lithium-potassium-sodium
carbonate-borate melt was explored by voltammetry and chrono-amperometry. In support of this, a controlled-potential polarograph
and associated hardware was constructed.
Several different types
of reference electrodes were tried before choosing a porcelain membrane electrode containing a silver wire immersed in a silver sulfate
melt.
The...
