It was noted that total recreational catches recorded in 1992 exceeded the total recreational quota by 13%. The discrepancy between the quota and the actual catch ranged from zero to 23%... Attention was also drawn to the discrepancy between angling catch estimates by traditional methods and catches estimated by the bus route creel survey method on the Humber River in 1992. Catch estimates based on the creel survey suggest that catches were actually twice as high as reported. These results question the utility of traditional catch and effort statistics collection methods in quota monitoring and in evaluating the effect of the closure of the commercial fishery on recreational fisheries harvests. 2, record 1, English, - bus%2Droute%20creel%20survey%20method

Il a été noté que les prises totales de la pêche récréative de 1992 étaient supérieures de 13 % au quota total de cette pêche. L'écart entre le quota et les prises réelles variait de 0 à 23 % [...] On a aussi fait ressortir l'écart entre les estimations des prises de la pêche récréative faites par les méthodes habituelles et celles faites par la méthode du relevé des prises par itinéraire utilisée en 1992 pour la rivière Humber. Les estimations des prises basées sur le relevé des prises donnaient une valeur correspondant au double de la valeur signalée. Ces résultats remettent en question l'utilité des méthodes classiques d'obtention de données statistiques sur les prises et l'effort pour le contrôle des quotas et l'évaluation des effets de la fermeture de la pêche commerciale sur la récolte de la pêche récréative. 1, record 1, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20du%20relev%C3%A9%20des%20prises%20par%20itin%C3%A9raire

Analysis of Molecular Variance(AMOVA) is a method for studying molecular variation within a species. Electrophoresis, one of the most widely used methods for studying the structure of DNA, produces data of the form of 0s and 1s where 1 denotes the presence of a band and zero its absence, e. g. Sample Band A 0101... B 1000... C 0110... AMOVA works on such data to create a distance matrix between samples in order to measure the genetic structure of a population. In statistical terms, AMOVA is a testing procedure based on permutational analysis and involves few assumptions. 3, record 2, English, - analysis%20of%20molecular%20variance

12 o’clock at night. 4, record 5, English, - midnight

The 12-hour clock is a time conversion convention in which the 24 hours of the day are divided into two periods called “ante meridiem”(“a. m., ” English :"before mid day") and “post meridiem”(“p. m., ” English :"after mid day"). Each period consists of 12 hours numbered : 12(acting as zero), 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11. … Confusion at noon and midnight.... The National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, states : To avoid confusion, the correct designation for twelve o’clock is 12 noon or 12 midnight. Alternatively, the twenty-four-hour-clock system may be used. … In the United States, noon is often called "12 : 00 p. m. "and midnight "12 : 00 a. m. "With this convention, thinking of "12" as "0" makes the system logical. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language(Fourth Edition, 2000) has a similar usage note on this topic :"Strictly speaking, 12 a. m. denotes midnight, and 12 p. m. denotes noon, but there is sufficient confusion over these uses to make it advisable to use 12 noon and 12 midnight where clarity is required. "Many U. S. style guides(including the NIST website) recommend that it is clearest if one refers to "noon" or "12 : 00 noon" and "midnight" or "12 : 00 midnight"(rather than to "12 : 00 p. m. "and "12 : 00 a. m. ", respectively). … The use of "12 : 00 midnight" or "midnight" is still problematic because it does not distinguish between the midnight at the start of a particular day and the midnight at its end. To avoid confusion and error, some U. S. style guides recommend either clarifying "midnight" with other context clues, or not referring to midnight at all. For an example of the latter method, "midnight" is replaced with "11 : 59 p. m. "for the end of a day or "12 : 01 a. m. "for the start of the next day. That has become common in the United States in legal contracts and for airplane, bus, or train schedules, though some schedules use other conventions. The 24-hour clock notation avoids all of those ambiguities by using 00 : 00 for midnight at the start of the day and 12 : 00 for noon. From 23 : 59 : 59 the time shifts(one second later) to 00 : 00 : 00, the beginning of the next day. Some variants of 24-hour notation(including the world standard ISO 8601) use 24 : 00 when referring to a midnight at the end of a day. 3, record 5, English, - midnight
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Our recommendation is to use the 24-hour clock system (ISO 8601). For midnight (begin of day): Use “00:00.” For midnight (end of day): Use “24:00.” You will use “12:00” to designate noon. 5, record 5, English, - midnight
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 2 OBS
If you use the 12-hour clock system: For midnight (begin of day): Use “midnight”, “12:00 midnight” or, better, “12:01 a.m.” (in legal contracts and for transportation schedules). For midnight (end of day): Use “midnight,” “12:00 midnight” or, better, “11:59 p.m." (in legal contracts and for transportation schedules). In both cases, avoid “12:00 a.m.,” which is confusing. 5, record 5, English, - midnight
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 3 OBS
The instant of midnight should be represented (when seconds are included) as either 24:00:00, the end of one day, or 00:00:00, the beginning of the next day, according to circumstances. 6, record 5, English, - midnight

[Transceiver Search. ] The second method is the grid method. When you find a signal, traverse back and forth across the slope. Where you think the signal is strongest(or, better yet, midway between fade points), you simply make a perpendicular turn(90 degrees to the old direction) and follow this new line. If the signal fades, it's the wrong way, so turn around(180 degrees) and march in the other direction until you hear the strongest signal(remember to keep turning down the volume). Turn 90 degrees again and repeat the process over and over until you zero in on the buried beacon. 4, record 6, English, - grid%20search%20method

Zero defects is not a method of training : it is a method of rewarding employees who make no mistakes on their job over a given period-a week or a month, usually. The procedure is to mount a powerful propaganda campaign against mistakes and offer a really attractive prize to the worker who wins a zero defect competition... 1, record 11, English, - zero%20defects

Le «sans-faute» n'est pas une méthode de formation, mais une façon de récompenser les travailleurs qui ont effectué leur tâche sans aucune erreur pendant une certaine période, une semaine ou un mois, en général. On monte une puissante campagne contre les erreurs et on fixe une récompense intéressante, un mois de croisière par exemple, pour le vainqueur de la campagne du «sans-faute». 3, record 11, French, - sans%2Dfaute

The next step toward realism and applicability is taken when the extended Weierstrass function is randomized. The simplest and most intrinsic method consists in multiplying its Fourier coefficients by independent complex Gaussian factors of zero mean and unit variance. The real and imaginary parts of the result deserve to be called Weierstrass(modified)-Gauss functions. In several ways, they are approximate fractional Brown functions. 1, record 12, English, - Weierstrass%20modified%2DGauss%20function
