the catch composition of the bottom trawl fishery along the coasts of karataş was evaluated in the 2002-2003 fishing season. a total of 110 species were registered, the fishes showed the highest diversity (90 species) followed by 15 crustaceans species and 5 species of cephalopods. the highest catch per unit effort (cpue) value (66.8 kg h -1 ) was recorded in september when the fishing season w...

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.

This paper is a comprehensive study of the shrimp trawl by- catch from Bushehr coastal waters (N. Persian Gulf). Sampling operation was carried out in two shrimp fishing seasons using the (Saber and Jahanara) commercial trawlers Generally, 87.5% of the total catch was by-catch and 12.5% was target species (shrimp). The catch composition included: 114 species from 45 teleostei families, 13 speci...

Hydrodynamically confined flow device technology is a young research area with high practical application potential in surface processing, assay development, and in various areas of single cell research. Several variants have been developed, and most recently, theoretical and conceptual studies, as well as fully developed automated systems, were presented. In this article we review concepts, fa...

The present study aims to recognize dhow prawn trawl by-catch from Hormuzgan coastal waters (Northeast Persian Gulf).

The phrase ‘global land grab’ has become a catch-all framework to describe and analyze the current explosion of (trans)national commercial land transactions revolving around the production and sale of food and biofuels. Initially deployed and popularised especially by activist groups deeply concerned and opposed to such transactions from an environmental-agrarian justice perspective, the signif...

The “convex hull problem” is a catch-all phrase for computing various descriptions of a polytope that is either specified as the convex hull of a finite point set in R or as the intersection of a finite number of halfspaces. We first define the various problems and discuss their mutual relationships (Section 26.1). We discuss the very special case of the irredundancy problem in Section 26.2. We...
