STOCK DEFINITION AND GEOGRAPHIC RANGE There are two species of pilot whales in the Western Atlantic — the Atlantic or long-finned pilot whale, Globicephala melas, and the short-finned pilot whale, G. macrorhynchus. These species are difficult to identify to the species level at sea; therefore, some of the descriptive material below refers to Globicephala spp., and is identified as such. The spe...

Teaching planning and decision making in agricultural systems at universities is often theoretically with few practical examples. Regularly there are not enough possibilities to get experience in planning a whole farm business having regard to all enterprises and all kinds of farm planning (production plan, financial plan,...). Making plans of separate parts of the farm without regarding the wh...

1. Auriculotherapy was effective in relieving the symptoms of constipation and improving quality of life for elderly people. 2. Auriculotherapy had a significant time effect in relieving symptoms of constipation, a greater reduction in scores for symptoms of constipation and quality of life, and an increased number of bowel movements per week, compared with controls. 3. The methodology of this ...

Task management (TM) is always performed on the flight deck, although not always explicitly, consistently, or rigorously. Nowhere is TM as important as it is in dealing with non-normal situations. The objective of this study was to analyze pilot TM behavior for non-normal situations. Specifically, the study observed pilots’ performance in a full workload environment in order to discern their TM...

These species are difficult to differentiate at sea; therefore, some of the descriptive material below refers to Globicephala sp., and is identified as such. The species is considered ...
