Sustainable fisheries management is key to restoring and maintaining ecological function and benefits to people, but it requires accurate information about patterns of resource use, particularly fishing pressure. In most coral reef fisheries and other data-poor contexts, obtaining such information is challenging and remains an impediment to effective management. We developed the most comprehens...

BACKGROUND The behaviour of insect vectors has an important bearing on the epidemiology of the diseases they transmit, and on the opportunities for vector control. Two sorts of electrocuting device have been particularly useful for studying the behaviour of tsetse flies (Glossina spp), the vectors of the trypanosomes that cause sleeping sickness in humans and nagana in livestock. Such devices c...

Effective management is necessary if small-scale fisheries, such as those found in mixed habitats including seagrass and coral reefs, are to continue providing food for many of the poorest communities of the world. Gear-based management, although under represented and under studied, has the potential to be adaptive, address multiple objectives, and be crafted to the socio-economic setting. Mana...

The catch/throw mechanism in Common Lisp gives a simple control structure for non-local exits. Nakano[7, 9] and Sato[13] proposed intuitionistic calculi with inference rules which give logical interpretations of the catch/throw-constructs. Although the calculi are theoretically well-founded, we cannot use the catch/throw mechanism for handling run-time errors in a meaningful way, because of the...

Definition: The term “safety catch principle” was introduced by Kenner in 1971 for peptide chemistry to describe a strategy that allows a linker to remain stable until it is activated for cleavage by a chemical modification. Currently, the term safety-catch is applied to a linker that is cleaved by performing two different reactions instead of the normal single step, that means that the linker ...
