English

Subject field(s)
  • Economics
  • Commercial Fishing
CONT

... fishing costs [were divided] into two components, private labour costs(wages) and other capital and operating costs. Where there are high levels of unemployment in the economy, the opportunity cost of labour is essentially zero.... the "social yield" consists of resource rents plus wages. [One of the] five possible equilibrium points at different levels of fishing effort [identified was the] zero resource rent —(OAE) — open access equilibrium...

[...] les coûts de la pêche [sont divisés] en deux composantes, soit les coûts privés de la main-d'œuvre (salaires) et les autres coûts d'immobilisations et d'opération. [...] le «rendement social» se compose des bénéfices tirés de la ressource et des salaires. [L'un des] cinq points d'équilibre possibles à différents niveaux d'effort de pêche [est] le revenu économique nul (RÉN) — l'équilibre lorsque l'accès à la pêche est libre [...]

CONT

The "vacuum energy" is a specific example of ZPE [zero point energy] which has generated considerable doubt and confusion. In a completely empty flat universe, calculations of the vacuum energy yield infinite values of both positive and negative sign-something that obviously does not correspond to the nature of the real world.

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
  • Animal Breeding
CONT

Cow evaluations for milk and fat yield are expressed in breed-class average units(BCA) as estimated transmitting ability(ETA) or one-half the additive genetic value of the cow. A majority(about 59%) of the cow indexes are negative which is a consequence of typing the cow indexes across herds through common usage of AI sires. The genetic base used for expression of sire evaluation is such that the average proof of multi-herd use(five or more) sires is zero for bulls whose first daughter freshened within the past five years. As there is a time lag for dissemination of their genetics into the cow population, the average cow index will therefore be less than zero if genetic progress is being made.

English

Subject field(s)
  • CBRNE Weapons
  • Emergency Management
DEF

Any structure, natural or manmade, that provides substantial protection against overpressures caused by nuclear explosions. Effectiveness is determined by the yield of the weapon, proximity to ground zero, and durability of the structure. Subterranean sites, such as subway stations, caves, and mine shafts, are most effective. Protection against fallout is a bonus effect.

Subject field(s)

CONT

The energy for complete fracture in double edge-notched tension test specimens has been measured for a wide range of polymer films. Results indicated that the variation of the total specific work of fracture, wT, with ligament length, L, can be described by two straight lines, both of the form wT=we+β wpl, thus giving upper and lower intercept values at zero ligament length(i. e. we) for each film. The first term, we, is the energy absorbed per unit area of fracture, whereas the second term, wp, is the energy absorbed per unit volume of plastic deformation remote from the fracture surface. The lower we value was obtained from the extrapolation of the data within the mixed mode region(plane-stress/plane-strain) where the maximum net-section stress exceeded 1. 15 times that of the tensile yield stress, σy, of the material, and the upper value was ascertained by extrapolating the data within the plane stress region where the net-section stress was 1. 15 σy. It appears that the transition from plane stress to plane strain mode of fracture in thin films occurs at a ligament length much greater than 5B, where B is the specimen thickness.

CONT

Radix representations of complex numbers, using complex bases, yield many examples of fractal sets, such as the space-filling twin dragon. These sets consist of the complex numbers with zero integer part in a given base. The boundaries of these sets consist of complex numbers having two different radix expansions in the given base. The sets themselves are strictly self-similar, but their boundaries are not; however the boundaries have a kind of partial self-similarity.

CONT

Les représentations des nombres complexes de base complexe produisent plusieurs exemples d'ensembles fractals, tel la courbe jumelle du dragon. Ces ensembles comprennent les nombres complexes dont la partie entière est égale à zéro dans une base donnée. Les frontières de ces ensembles consistent en des nombres complexes ayant deux expansions différentes dans la base donnée. Les ensembles eux-mêmes possèdent une homothétie interne, mais non leur frontière; cependant les frontières possèdent la propriété d'être partiellement semblables à elles- mêmes.
