Ownership and Performance in Vertical Relations: Satellite-tracked Evidence∗
Using satellite-tracked real-time data on the movements of a vertically integrated fishing firm’s own ships and its long-term supplier ships, this paper studies the impact of integration after the acquisition of those suppliers. The results suggest an increase in obedience to deployment policies, no change in fishing skills, higher productivity, and higher downstream product quality brought abo...
متن کاملSubsurface melting of a free-floating Antarctic iceberg
Observations near a large tabular iceberg in theWeddell Sea inMarch and April 2009 show evidence that water from ice melting below the surface is dispersed in two distinct ways. Warm, salty anomalies in T–S diagrams suggest that water from the permanent thermocline is transported vertically as a result of turbulent entrainment of meltwater at the iceberg’s base. Stepped profiles of temperature,...
متن کاملIceberg Scour and Shell Damage in the Antarctic Bivalve Laternula elliptica
We document differences in shell damage and shell thickness in a bivalve mollusc (Laternula elliptica) from seven sites around Antarctica with differing exposures to ice movement. These range from 60% of the sea bed impacted by ice per year (Hangar Cove, Antarctic Peninsula) to those protected by virtually permanent sea ice cover (McMurdo Sound). Patterns of shell damage consistent with blunt f...
متن کاملSome drifts on posets and its application to fuzzy subalgebras
In this paper, given a poset $(X,leq)$, we introduce some drifts on a groupoid $(X,*)$ with respect to $(X,leq)$, and we obtain several properties of these drifts related to the notion of $Bin(X)$. We discuss some connections between fuzzy subalgebras and upward drifts.
متن کاملRecovery in Antarctic benthos after iceberg disturbance: trends in benthic composition, abundance and growth forms
The response of an Antarctic benthic community to iceberg disturbance was investigated using underwater photographs (1 m2 each) on the SE Weddell Sea shelf. This study: (1) characterises composition, coverage, number of patches and area of sessile benthic fauna, (2) describes faunal heterogeneity using MDS ordination and identifies ‘structural taxa’ of each recovery stage, and (3) analyses chan...
