The term 'Workers' Councils' can perhaps stand as a catchall title for an unpremeditated, quasi-spontaneous, 'groundup' organisational form reproduced over many periods and across many countries by groups of workers previously unaware of such a structure or of its historical precedents. Its highest form the Soviet, its 'lowest' the simple workplace representatives' committee, this formation rec...

Hooghly–Matlah estuarine system in the state of West Bengal in India sustains world’s important multi-species commercial fisheries. Winter migratory bag net is one of the most important artisanal fishing gears used for exploitation of the resources in stretches of the estuary. A study was carried out during 2010–11 to find out the current catching efficiency of this artisanal net. A total of tw...

Objective. Low birth weight (LBW), no early catch-up weight, and subsequent fat accumulation have been associated with increased risks of insulin resistance from childhood onward and later cardiovascular disease. We sought to clarify the effects of high birth weight (HBW) and postnatal weight gain on insulin resistance. Research Design and Methods. One hundred and seventeen obese children aged ...

By-catch is considered a significant problem in large-scale fisheries yet in small-scale fisheries (SSF), employing >99% of the world’s fishers, there is limited quantitative understanding of by-catch, and catches in general. We provide an assessment of by-catch from fishing gears (fyke, trawl, set trammel, and drift trammel nets) commonly used in small-scale fisheries across the globe, using a...

Traditional poultry production has changed to a considerable industry after few decades. Now, poultry industry is one of the main sectors to obtain the required protein for human consumption. Prediction of the weight and number of eggs according to economic traits can improve the efficiency of production and the profit of producers. In present study, the weight and number of eggs in Mazandaran ...

The article considers the original results of observations and analysis catches atherina (Atherina boyeri caspia (Eichwald)) by months stationary nets in Terek-Caspian fishery subarea (Republic Dagestan). size-weight age indicators spawning stocks have been characterized. For first time recent years conditions for western part Middle Northern Caspian are described. All biostatistical obtained (...

The aim of this paper is to provide a probabilistic, but non-quantum, analysis of the Halting Problem. Our approach is to have the probability space extend over both space and time and to consider the probability that a random N -bit program has halted by a random time. We postulate an a priori computable probability distribution on all possible runtimes and we prove that given an integer k > 0...

In the paper, for enhancing the security of the traditional LSB matching, two improved LSB-matching methods are proposed. In the steganograhical procedure, the Markov chain distance based on the second-order statistics is chosen as the security metric to control the modification directions of ±1 embedding. The first method is based on stochastic modification, which directly determines the modif...
