  Seiners use surrounding or roundhaul nets, such as purse seines and lampara nets, to surround schools of pelagic fish near the surface. Like other modern vessels, seiners can vary by the types of equipment that are used and the geographical region in which they are used. Traditionally, seine fishing was done by hand, but modern seining began in 1960 with the introduction of the hydraulic winch and power block. The classification of seiners is: • American seiners   • European seiners • Drum seiners  • Purse seiners   • Seine netters   • Tuna purse seiners   Some vessels operate in nearshore waters targeting coastal pelagic species, like the Pacific Sardine and the Market Squid). These vessels primarily target finfish with seine nets. The average size of a purse seiner is 15-25m (49-82 ft) long, with a hold capacity of 18-36 t (40,000-80,000 lbs), and a crew size of 5 people. Other seiners operate in the open-ocean targeting highly migratory species like Tu...

Fishing vessels are typically designed with a specific purpose. That purpose is to locate, catch, and preserve fish while out at sea. The planned operations of a vessel determine the overall size of the vessel, the arrangement of the deck, carrying capacity, as well as the machinery and types of equipment that will be supported by the vessel. Due to the inherent differences in fishing communities around the world, there is a wide range of types and styles of fishing vessels. Vessel sizes can range from the 2 m (6 ft) dug out canoes used in subsistence and artisanal fisheries, to factory ships that exceed 130 m (427 ft) in length. Commercial fishing vessels can also be characterized by a variety of criteria: types of fish they catch, fishing gear and methods used, capacity and processing capabilities, and the geographical origin of the vessel. In 2002, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimated the world fishing fleet had approximately four million vessels, wit...

  The legal system in many countries, including Australia, Canada (except Quebec), Ghana, Hong Kong, India, Jamaica, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Tanzania, the USA (except Louisiana), the Bahamas, and Zambia, is based on  common law . The common law consists of the  substantive law  and  procedural rules  that are created by the  judicial decisions  made in the courts. Although legislation may  override  such decisions, the legislation itself is subject to interpretation and refinement in the courts.   Essential to the common law is the hierarchy of the courts in all of the UK jurisdictions and  the principle of binding precedent . In practice, this means that the decision of a higher court is  binding on  a lower court, that is, the decision must be followed, and in  the course of a trial  the judges must refer to existing precedents. They'll also consider decisions made in a lower court, although ...

The teeth are the hardest substances in the human body. Besides being essential for chewing, the teeth play an important role in speech. Parts of the teeth include: • Enamel = the hardest, white outer part of the tooth. Enamel is mostly made of calcium phosphate, a rock-hard mineral. • Dentin = a layer underlying the enamel. Dentin is made of living cells, which secrete a hard mineral substance. • Pulp = the softer, living inner structure of teeth. Blood vessels and nerves run through the pulp of the teeth. • Cementum = a layer of connective tissue that binds the roots of the teeth firmly to the gums and jawbone. • Periodontal ligament = tissue that helps hold the teeth tightly against the jaw. A normal adult mouth has 32 teeth, which (except for wisdom teeth) have erupted by about age 13: • Incisors = the middlemost four teeth on the upper and lower jaws. (8 total)  • Canines = the pointed teeth just outside the incisors.  • Premolars = teeth between the canines and molars....

  It's a mebrane-bound organelle of eukaryotic cells (cells with clearly defined nuclei) that is made up of a series of flattened, stacked pouches (=bags) called cisternae. The Golgi apparatus is responsible for transporting, modifying, and packaging proteins and lipids into vesicles (=bubbles) for delivery to targeted destinations. It is located in the cytoplasm next to the endoplasmic reticulum and near the cell nucleus. While many types of cells contain only one or several Golgi apparatus, plant cells can contain hundreds. Soluble and secretory proteins leaving the Golgi apparatus undergo exocytosis . The secretion of soluble proteins occurs constitutively. In contrast, the exocytosis of secretory proteins is a highly regulated process, in which a ligand must bind to a receptor to trigger vesicle fusion and protein secretion. exocytosis [ˌɛksə(ʊ)sʌɪˈtəʊsɪs] = a process by which the contents of a cell vacuole are released to the exterior through fusion of the vacuole membrane w...

This hack isn’t so much about finding direction as it is knowing when to stop hiking and start making base camp for the night. Many survivors underestimate how long it can take to set up a proper base camp, and then find themselves rushing around in low-light conditions. A reliable way of estimating the amount of time left until sunset is by using your fingers. Hold your hand up sideways with the bottom of the sun resting on top of your index finger. Now, count the number of fingers going down until they connect with land. Each finger represents approximately fifteen minutes of sunlight available.

1️⃣ Bead = a seam deposit that forms during welding in a single step, creating a solid connection between the two pieces of metal. 2️⃣ Stringer bead = a type of weld bead created by moving the welding torch or electrode in a straight line along the joint, resulting in a weld bead resembling a string. 3️⃣ Arc rays = the intense and concentrated rays of light emitted from the electric arc during welding or cutting processes. They contain ultraviolet (UV), visible, and infrared (IR) radiation, which can harm the eyes and skin if proper safety measures, such as wearing protective eyewear and clothing, are not taken. 4️⃣ Weld root = the point where the joint between two base metals is narrowest and closest together. It is the region where the initial fusion and welding of the materials begin. Also referred to as “Root Pass.” 5️⃣ Welding power source = the machine that provides electricity sufficient to provide the amperage or voltage required to perform the desired welding process. A power ...
