English

Subject field(s)
  • Collaboration with the FAO
  • Environmental Management
  • Commercial Fishing
CONT

Fish populations naturally vary from year to year due to a number of factors including interspecies interactions and changes in the environment, as well as human fishing pressure... Thus to get the maximum sustainable yield from a fishery, it may be necessary to alter the total allowable catch each year to incorporate these fluctuations in population size... The current annual yield(CAY) is calculated yearly[, ] and it incorporates these fluctuations by applying a fixed reference level of fish mortality to the current fishable biomass...

Subject field(s)
  • Remote Sensing
DEF

The smallest usable element of an image.

CONT

For applications such as cartography, where it is important to precisely locate the correct position of features such as roads and boundaries, it has been difficult or impossible to evaluate the relative performance of different sensors through the standard specifications of IFOV [Instantaneous Field of View] or spatial resolution. In an effort to overcome this difficulty, a second concept... labeled spatial effective resolution element(SERE), is evolving. Although this concept is not fully developed, it provides an indication of the factors to be taken into account when attempting to correlate different systems. These factors include : surface area on the Earth, or its equivalent on the image plane, the IFOV and the spread function resulting from optical diffraction and aberrations as well as electronic lag or smear. Essentially, the concept of SERE is an attempt to determine the IFOV of the hypothetical, unsampled(ideal) scanning system which would yield performance equivalent to that of any given real sensor system. Whether such an equivalence exists is yet to be determined.

OBS

Subject field(s)
  • CBRNE Weapons
OBS

The non-simultaneous, uncontrolled and highly irregular detonation of all or some of the HE [high explosive] components of nuclear weapons. Such erratic HE detonation, resulting from impact shocks or exposure to fires, lacks the squeeze or implosion necessary to produce a nuclear yield detonation. The term implies the normal consequence of exposure of nuclear weapons to impacts or fire, namely, a detonation of a portion of the HE content of the weapon, in turn resulting in a scattering of the remaining HE as well as the fissile material.

Key term(s)

Domaine(s)
  • Armes CBRNE
OBS

Explosion non simultanée, non contrôlée et très irrégulière de tous les explosifs puissants (HE) d'armes nucléaires ou de quelques-uns d'entre eux. Une telle explosion puissante irrégulière, causée par des chocs ou l'exposition au feu, n'a pas la concentration ou la puissance nécessaire pour produire une explosion nucléaire. L'expression utilisée se rapporte à la conséquence normale de l'exposition d'armes nucléaires à des chocs ou au feu, à savoir l'explosion d'une partie des explosifs puissants (HE) de l'armement: cette explosion entraîne à son tour la dispersion du reste des explosifs puissants et des matières fissiles.

Veneer produced by sawing.

OBS

for "saw cut veneer" : Veneers are cut in two grades or thicknesses, known as saw cut and knife cut. The first named are the thickest, and vary in thickness from 1/32 to 1/16 of an inch. They are cut from the log with a large circular saw, and usually yield about 12 sheets to the inch. Knife cut veneers are much thinner, modern machines making it possible to get from 50 to 100 sheets to the inch, the very thin ones being used as picture mounts. These are cut with rotary and flat knives. In saw cutting the log is well steamed and placed between two stocks, like a leg in a lathe, and under a knife for its whole length. The log is now forced round and against the knife which drops the required thickness at each revolution. By cutting spirally the grain is accentuated and enlarged.
