HOLDING STUDY [14 records]

Record 1 2022-04-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Commercial Fishing
CONT

Holding studies, in which fish caught during commercial (or simulated commercial) fishing operations are handled according to regular practice then monitored in tanks or sea cages, have been used to assess the survival rate of discarded catch from various fisheries. This approach has provided some measure of survival rates and identified important factors that influence mortality for several commercial and non-commercial species.

OBS

The Society’s roots go back to the 1930’s when a small band of Scottish enthusiasts formed the Scottish Canadian Study Circle. After the Second World War in 1946 the Circle re-launched itself under [their] present name [Canadian Philatelic Society of Great Britain]. The aims of the Society include the promotion and study of all aspects of British North American philately. Membership is worldwide and there is, naturally, a strong representation in Canada and the USA.

OBS

The [purposes] of the Society [are] To associate those interested in the philately of Canada, those areas thereof which were seperate British Colonies prior to Confederation in 1867 or any part or parts thereof; which said territory is hereinafter referred to as "British North America"(BNA). To encourage study inter alia by the holding of meetings, publications of papers and the arrangement of private and public displays and exhibitions. To provide facilities for the disposal of members’ surplus material. To provide a Library of philatelic literature relating to British North America for use of members. To hold an annual Convention which normally shall meet in rotation in Scotland, the North of England and Wales, and the South of England.

DEF

A method of measuring the degree of relationship between two variables when the effects of one or more other related variables are removed.

OBS

... if one wishes to study the relationship between two of four interrelated variables, through partial correlation it is possible to remove the effects of two of the variables by holding them constant and then determine the degree of association remaining between the other two.

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
  • Research Experiments in Space
CONT

The International Space Station's Centrifuge Accommodation Module will take life on a spin in space to achieve experimental results that can be brought down to life on Earth. Unique among ISS [International Space Station] modules, this one will permit long-term study of the effects of varying gravity levels on the structure and function of generations of living organisms and test methods for countering the negative results of those variations. The Module will house the Centrifuge Facility, a more than 8-ft. diameter centrifuge drum or rotor, and a Gravitational Biology Facility, with racks for holding plants, animals and habitats.

CONT

The CAM holds 4 ISPRs [International Standard Payload Racks] also allocated to the U.S., yielding a Station-wide number of 27 ISPRs for U.S. research, 5 for the Europeans and 5 for Japan.

OBS

centrifuge accommodation module; CAM: term and abbreviation officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

French

Domaine(s)

CONT

Le «Centrifuge Accommodation Module (CAM)» se présente sous le même gabarit que le laboratoire scientifique, dont il partage la même interface et les mêmes ressources. Le CAM est construit par l'Agence spatiale japonaise (NASDA) sous contrat avec la NASA. Sa fonction, comme son nom l'indique, est d'étudier l'effet de différents niveaux de gravité (de 0,01 g à 2 g) sur la structure et la [physiologie] de plantes ou d'animaux obtenus en microgravité.

OBS

module de centrifugeuse; CAM : terme et abréviation uniformisés par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de la Station spatiale internationale (GTTSSI).

[In one study] the parent holding the baby apparently could see the stimuli and, therefore, potentially influence the baby's behaviour... It is essential in work of this type that both the holder and observer be "blind". Moreover, in the completed work, the test phase was designed so that recovery to novelty could not be distinguished from regression to the mean... Babies in the seven groups that the applicants propose to compare are likely to be at different phases of habituation after 12 trials. As a consequence, it would be difficult to interpret any differences in their reaction to the novel stimulus presented... Such differences could be due to differential reinforcing effectiveness of the stimulus....

CONT

The relationship between encoding, discriminative capacities and perinatal risk status in 4 - 12-month old infants : response decrement and recovery to a novel visual stimulus was examined in [these infants]. High (HR) and low (LR) perinatal risk groups were compared to well babies. For abstract stimuli, well babies showed response decrement and recovery to novelty; LR infants revealed some decrement, but no recovery ... Using face stimuli, all groups showed decrement and recovery [Source: PASCAL database].

CONT

Use of baseline data for estimation of treatment effects in the presence of regression to the mean. We consider a regression to the mean problem with a very large sample for the first measurement and relatively small subsample for the second measurement, selected on the basis of the initial measurement ... Response to a cholesterol-lowering diet : efficacy is greater in hypercholesterolemic subjects even after adjustment for regression to the mean ... To define how much regression to the mean confounds apparent responsiveness in subgroup analyses, and to test, using techniques that remove regression to the mean ... data collected on 812 men and women participating in the Minnesota Coronary Survey Dietary Trial who had a least 2 total cholesterol and regression toward the mean on measurement of diet responsiveness ...

OBS

These estimates receive quantitative support from a study done at the University of B. C., based upon a longitudinal analysis of Registered Nurses Association of B. C. membership, from which a general occupational attrition rate of 10 percent can be calculated. This figure represents the probability that a person holding PRACTICING REGISTRATION STATUS at the start of the year will relinquish that status before year's end. Combining this movement with that from NON-REGISTRATION(albeit previously registered) or INACTIVE STATUS to ACTIVE REGISTRATION provides a net shift of approximately 5 percent per annum.
