  • Commercial Fishing
CONT

[The fisheries research service] agreed that the correct positioning of [a square mesh netting panel] was critical and concluded that the ideal location with a view to reduce the risk of twisting was in the top sheet at the end of the tapered netting section.... Furthermore[, ] if positioned at the end of the tapered section, the length and cutting rate of the main trawl body might have to be adjusted to allow for a shorter extension/codend length... This was to ensure enough netting to enable the codend to be hauled to the bag hatch, usually positioned on a vessel' s starboard side.

A rafter, bracket, or joist which projects beyond the side of a building and supports an overhanging portion of the roof.

CONT

Cornices may be classified into two main divisions. The open cornice consists of exposed rafter tails and the closed type has the rafter tails enclosed.... Figure 1-7 shows a section of an open cornice. The lookout rafters are made of dressed stock, generally the size of the common rafter. They should extend approximately the same distance above the plate that they project beyond the building line so that they may be firmly spiked to the sides of the common rafters. The part of the lookout rafter that is exposed to view is, in many cases, cut to some ornamental curve at the bottom and to a plumb cut at its end so as to provide a surface on which a hanging gutter may be attached. A fascia board is sometimes nailed to the plumb cut of the rafters to form a solid base for the gutter. The lookout rafters sometimes extend beyond the building as much as 3 feet and are supported by being spiked to the sides of the common rafters.

Environmental protection is accepted as needed in the Czech Republic, but the degree of implementation depends on possibilities of investing into new technologies and desirable activities. The main problem is a lack of financial streams. The Czech Republic is in general tackling the same problems as the industrially advanced countries were one or two decades ago. It seems, however that it will have much less time to eliminate them in view of the expected date of entry into the European Union.

Au cours des années 80, le total de l'investissement étranger direct a augmenté à un taux annuel moyen de 12,2 p. 100, tandis que le commerce mondial enregistrait une croissance moyenne de 5,4 p. 100, et la production mondiale, de 2,8 p. 100. Selon certains points de vue, le taux de croissance rapide de l'investissement direct au cours des années 80 laisse supposer que, non seulement les entreprises multinationales augmentent leur part du commerce et de la production mondiaux, mais que l'interaction entre l'investissement étranger direct, le commerce international, le transfert de technologie et les courants financiers est plus intense et s'accompagne de conséquences importantes pour la compétitivité tant des pays d'origine que des pays hôtes.

CONT

L'interdépendance et la mondialisation croissantes, qui résultent principalement des progrès technologiques dans les domaines des communications et de l'informatique, ont créé un milieu économique international qui répercute les perturbations, amplifie les dérèglements et crée de l'incertitude. Ces phénomènes sont exacerbés par l'absence de règles et d'institutions internationales qui pourraient réglementer efficacement les courants financiers et commerciaux et par le manque de coordination des politiques économiques des grandes économies mondiales (Solomon, 1990, 1991).

The use of the ha-ha, or sunken fence, to create and at the same time conceal the physical division between garden and contiguous park grounds (a division needed to keep grazing animals out of the garden) was a major step in the creation of the new, "natural" garden. Walpole explains the purpose of the visual unification: The contiguous ground of the park without the sunk fence was to be harmonized with the lawn within; and the garden in its turn was to be set free from its prime regularity, that it might assort with the wilder country without.
