While preventing loss is preferable for reducing the impacts of ghost fishing and marine debris, gear adaptations can minimize the impact of ghost fishing by reducing the possibility of the gear to continually fish. Biodegradable nets, traps, and pots... can reduce ghost fishing.... The... crab fishery... uses cotton escape cord, which decomposes and releases the plastic hooks an average of 126 days after deployment... Escape cords are mandatory in the fishery, but the regulation does not specify the diameter. 2, record 1, English, - crab%20fishery

The total mortality rate estimated from the lengths in the scientific surveys, the number of fishing days of a fleet per season, the percentage of immature individuals as well as the amount of gear per fishing area are indicators of fishing pressure on a population. For example, a mean total mortality rate estimated during a period when fishing would not have had an impact on the health of the population can serve as a target reference point. Recommendations aimed at reducing the level of withdrawal can then be issued when this target reference is exceeded. 2, record 3, English, - fishing%20pressure

Certains peuvent servir au développement de points de référence. Par exemple, un taux de mortalité totale moyen estimé au cours d'une période où la pêche n'aurait pas eu d'impact sur la santé de la population peut servir de point de référence cible. Des recommandations qui visent la diminution du niveau de prélèvement peuvent alors être émises lorsque ce taux de référence cible est dépassé. 2, record 3, French, - pression%20de%20p%C3%AAche

Dynamic tests are specifically concerned with landing gear performance and CEAT has four specialized machines for this purpose. The landing gear is attached to an adjustable ’load’ platform running in vertical guides. Landing impact is simulated by dropping this assembly at a controlled speed on to a rotating drum which provides the effect of movement over the ground. The largest of these four machines, developed and built at CEAT, permits dynamic tests to be carried out on the main landing gear of aircraft with a landing weight in excess of 120 tonnes. 1, record 8, English, - load%20platform

The single leaf cantilever spring steel type of main landing gear is used extensively on Cessna airplanes. The gear consists of a single strap of Chrome Vanadium Steel bent to form the shape of the complete undercarriage structure. It is attached to the fuselage in a cradle bulkhead by bolts. It is capable of storing energy in initial impact, thereby producing quite low load factors. Low maintenance, simplicity and long service life characterize this gear type. 2, record 10, English, - single%20spring%20leaf%20cantilever%20landing%20gear
