STOCK DEFINITION AND GEOGRAPHIC RANGE There are two species of pilot whales in the Western Atlantic — the Atlantic or long-finned pilot whale, Globicephala melas, and the short-finned pilot whale, G. macrorhynchus. These species are difficult to identify to the species level at sea; therefore, some of the descriptive material below refers to Globicephala spp., and is identified as such. The spe...

Teaching planning and decision making in agricultural systems at universities is often theoretically with few practical examples. Regularly there are not enough possibilities to get experience in planning a whole farm business having regard to all enterprises and all kinds of farm planning (production plan, financial plan,...). Making plans of separate parts of the farm without regarding the wh...

1. Auriculotherapy was effective in relieving the symptoms of constipation and improving quality of life for elderly people. 2. Auriculotherapy had a significant time effect in relieving symptoms of constipation, a greater reduction in scores for symptoms of constipation and quality of life, and an increased number of bowel movements per week, compared with controls. 3. The methodology of this ...

Task management (TM) is always performed on the flight deck, although not always explicitly, consistently, or rigorously. Nowhere is TM as important as it is in dealing with non-normal situations. The objective of this study was to analyze pilot TM behavior for non-normal situations. Specifically, the study observed pilots’ performance in a full workload environment in order to discern their TM...

These species are difficult to differentiate at sea; therefore, some of the descriptive material below refers to Globicephala sp., and is identified as such. The species is considered ...

The Essentials of Baccalaureate Education for Professional Nursing Practice provides a framework for building the baccalaureate education for the twenty-first century. One of the exemplars included in the essentials toolkit includes student participation in an actual root cause analysis (RCA) or failure mode effects analysis. To align with this exemplar, faculty at the University of Michigan Sc...

With the increasing demands of data communication speed for different type of data transmission, many revolutions occur with time in wireless communication system. The use of MIMO for wireless data transmission has proven itself for enhancing the capacity of data transmission. The mobile network based on the cell structure also uses the MIMO techniques. Further research in the field of massive ...

To respond to the changing needs of the industry for non-traditional electrical measurements many national laboratories including the National Research Council of Canada (NRC), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), and the Swedish National Testing and Research Institute (SP) have develo...

Limited research has focused on recruitment strategies for health promotion researchers conducting small-scale pilot studies. Such research is important because small studies often have limited funding streams and personnel resources. Accordingly, many techniques implemented by large-scale studies are of limited use to smaller research projects. This article provides an overview effective parti...
