Length composition data (fork length) of kawakawa (Euthynnus affinis ), landed between April 2003 to March 2005 in Coastal Waters of Hormozgan province in Iran ( Persian Gulf and Sea of Oman) , were monthly used to estimate the p opulation parameters and for the assessment of the stock. The growth parameters of von Bertalanffy equation were estimated as L∞: 87.66 cm, K: 0.51 per year and t0: ...

• Research has demonstrated that good supervision is associated with job satisfaction, commitment to the organisation and retention. • Supervision appears to help reduce staff turnover and is significantly linked to employees' perceptions of the support they receive from the organisation. • Good supervision is correlated with perceived worker effectiveness. There is some evidence that group sup...

it is fair to say that the man by including agricultural, industrial activities and exploitation-of natural resources in his survival agenda is the most responsible of all for environmental changes. fundamentall development in various parts of a watershed is unavoidable and sometimes necessary. in recent years, large number of environmentally improper developments including new town development...

This paper situates formal ontologies as one of many products in a multi-tier value grid of semantic technologies. Incremental strategies for the exploitation of intermediate products in the value grid are advocated, as a possible step towards cost-effective, low-risk and scalable business models for the application of semantic technologies. A case study is presented, illustrating a hypothetica...

Controlled amount of jitter injection into high speed serial bit stream is required for SerDes jitter tolerance test. While jitter injection by Direct Time Synthesis can be a much more cost effective method than a combination of several instruments, it is not widely used yet. Considering its high potential in high volume production test cost reduction, we have studied the basics of the jitter i...

competition is against monopoly and intellectual property creates monopoly for intellectual property owner. this article had been paid cooperation between apparently contradictory policies. exhaustion, parallel imports, compulsory license, intellectual property exploitation contract that coincide with competition are methods of cooperation between intellectual property and competition law. comp...

Earlier generations can jeopardise the opportunities, resources and well-being of their successors. Indeed, there is a growing unease with earlier leaving large-scale public debts to be paid by younger generations, many worry that our policies institutions are being shaped advantage interests older at expense young. While much theoretical (and empirical) literature now exists on ways in which u...

In order to improve the sparsity exploitation performance of norm constraint least mean square (LMS) algorithms, a novel adaptive algorithm is proposed by introducing a variable p-norm-like constraint into the cost function of the LMS algorithm, which exerts a zero attraction to the weight updating iterations. The parameter p of the p-norm-like constraint is adjusted iteratively along the negat...

Many diseases are being spread in the word by micro organisms. This necessitates the development of cost effective and easily available antimicrobial medicines. Plants have generally been source of alkaloids, steroids, terpenoids, carbohydrates, amino acids, vitamins, glycosides and various pigments. The chemical exploitation of varieties of indigenous plants is therefore likely to offer a cost...

This paper analyzes coalition formation in a livestock-pasture system where livestock are privately owned and the pasture is a common property. While standard models predict rather low prospects of cooperation, this paper introduces a cost advantage of cooperation based on Saami reindeer herding that may explain higher coalition participation. In contrast to the existing fishery literature on c...
