Off the US west coast, fishery development efforts have led to recent recommendation for authorization of deep-set buoy gear (DSBG) and linked (LBG), two commercial types targeting swordfish at depth during day. Because new configurations interact with bigeye thresher sharks (Alopias superciliosus), a large pelagic species that is not typically retained sale, this work has focused on documentin...

Some mechanical and process parameters of a developed millet thresher have been optimized using numerical optimization technique. The machine threshes panicles cleans the grains from straw. speed threshing number pegs attached to drum were investigated, while moisture content was parameter under investigation. Threshing efficiency, cleaning percentage losses used as performance characteristics ...
