...Refuelling Schedule for Airports By Kiran R K Jitha Babu Shyam S Sreeraj S CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 REFUELLING Refuelling is an important aspect with respect to the airports since it determines the ground time of an aero plane. Aircraft fuelling can take up to 90 minutes of ground time. Hence, precise planning and allocation is absolutely essential. Once a flight lands in an airport it has to be refueled for the next flight. The quantity of fuel required depends on the distance it has to travel to reach the next station and type of flight. Aviation fuel is a specialized type of petroleum-based fuel used to power aircraft. It is generally of a higher quality than fuels used in less critical applications such as heating or road transport, and often contains additives to reduce the risk of icing or explosion due to high temperatures, amongst other properties. Aviation fuels consist of blends of over a thousand chemicals, primarily Hydrocarbons (paraffins, olefins, naphthenes, and aromatics) as well as additives such as antioxidants and metal deactivators, and impurities. Principal components include n-octane and isooctane. Like other fuels, blends of Aviation fuel are often described by their...

...the fishes in the sea as well. As technology has become more and more advanced that has made our fishing more efficient meaning that it has become easier for us to catch more fish. This has and will impact human lives in a very critical way. Along with other of Earth’s resources we have to learn and take care of our environment to keep it in a Holocene state for a very long time. Earth’s resource limited but shared resources have led to much competition among humans. The relationship between humans and fish has evolved over the years along with the new developed technological advancements in fishing. There are many examples around the globe that relationship with fish has changed because of technology. In 1992 the collapse of the Newfoundland Grand Banks Cod fishery in Canada was mainly caused by the technological advancements made in fishing. The Newfoundland Grand Banks was once renowned as the world’s most productive fishing grounds. The first European explorers described the waters as being so full, one just had to lower a basket into the water and it would come up filled with cod. Up to the 1950s the bounty of the Grand Banks was enough to supply local small-scale fishing, as well as feed millions of harp seals. But this happy picture was not to last. The Grand Banks fishery was destroyed by technological advances in fishing techniques in the 1950s and 60s. Small artisan fishing boats found themselves competing with trawlers modeled on the factory whaling ships that had devastated...

...As an avid shore fisherman who enjoys fishing, I have the unique opportunity to choose between two similar, but two very different, types of fishing. These two types of fishing are fresh water fishing and salt water fishing. With that being said, in the state where I reside, there are two distinct attitudes towards fishing. There are those anglers who prefer fresh water fishing, and there are those anglers who prefer salt water fishing. Both types of fishing ultimately deal with utilizing a fishing pole, fishing line and bait (or a fishing lure) to catch fish. However, in the same way they are similar; in contrast, they are both very much different. In a fresh water lake, the water rises with the amount of rainfall and falls due to evaporation and drainage; on the other hand, ocean the water rises and falls with the lunar tide. Unlike fresh water fishing, where an angler would use “lighter” fishing tackle due to catching smaller fish, salt water fishing requires much “heavier” tackle due to the vast difference in size from fresh water fish to salt water fish. For instance, the State record for a fresh water largemouth bass caught in a lake is 10 pounds 14 ounces; whereas, a Great White shark can weigh more then a car! So as you can see, although fresh water fishing and salt water fishing are similar, in some ways, they are very much different. Works Cited Houch, R. (September 3, 2013). NJ Saltwater Fisherman.

...has had an extended run of bad luck. Despite his expertise, he has been unable to catch a fish for eighty-four days. He is humble, yet exhibits a justified pride in his abilities. His knowledge of the sea and its creatures, and of his craft, is unparalleled and helps him preserve a sense of hope regardless of circumstance. Throughout his life, Santiago has been presented with contests to test his strength and endurance. The marlin with which he struggles for three days represents his greatest challenge. Paradoxically, although Santiago ultimately loses the fish, the marlin is also his greatest victory. The marlin - Santiago hooks the marlin, which we learn at the end of the novella measures eighteen feet, on the first afternoon of his fishing expedition. Because of the marlin’s great size, Santiago is unable to pull the fish in, and the two become engaged in a kind of tug-of-war that often seems...

Instead of a fishing rod, he was using a piece of wrapping thread and a cane pole with a big, red worm attached to it to attract the fish. He used to catch a lot of fish that way, and IButt2014-07-19T17:13:00.26IWith excitement sometimes would be lucky to catch more than one fish with the same worm!

...industry is a substitute for the traditional forms of fish supply and an important source of protein for the growing human population and can relieve the pressures on marine and coastal ecosystems (Lucas and Southgate, 2012). In addition, marine aquaculture can contribute to food security (Godfray et al., 2010; FAO, 2014). Capture fishery production has been relatively static since the late 1980s, while aquaculture has grown considerably in this period (FAO, 2016). World per capita apparent fish consumption increased from an average of 9.9 kg in the 1960s to 14.4 kg in the 1990s and 19.7 kg in 2013 with the preliminary estimation of exceeding 20 kg in 2015 (FAO, 2016). Therefore, development of aquaculture is more required due to constant fishing, world population growth, and per capita aquatic consumption increase. Marine aquaculture in Iran has been growing relatively fast in recent years, and this kind of production has risen from 3.2 thousand tons in the 1987s to 320.2 thousand tons in the 2014s (FAO, 2016). Due to the existence of wide coastal areas in the north and south of Iran, the country has suitable potential for the development of marine aquaculture. Marine aquaculture challenges other (traditional) activities such as fisheries through competing for space (Christie et al., 2014); so it is necessary that a planned and managed site is appropriately selected (Afroz et al., 2013; Suplicy et al., 2015). It provides the basis not only for economic benefits, but also for the...

...With many things being available for tools for RtR programs everywhere in the world, recent arguments have brought up questions relating to the productivity and habitat jobs of artificial arrangements. Numerous amounts of studies have been made and scientists have found increases in fish count and recruiting to gas and oil platforms and other artificial arrangements. Around these reefs, catch rates are higher. “For oil and gas platforms, off the coast of California, scientists have suggested that both, the upper depths and deeper structures may be very important to certain species in different life stages, with the platforms being used as both recruitment habitat for juvenile fish and also refuge areas for adult fish” (Ajemian 2). These arrangements are very important to these fish because they have many purposes for different kinds of fish. According to Matthew Ajemian, “For the most important species in the Gulf of Mexico, Red Snapper was noted that this species was proportionally most abundant at a low relief hard-bottom natural area”. On the other hand, it has been noted that the adding of artificial habitat has resulted in an increase in the harvest potential of the Red Snapper. This occurs because the Red Snapper is one of the most common predators found in artificial reefs. Any downfall in any artificial habitat will have a negative result on these populations, Due to these artificial habitats providing food and shelter for these other fish. New studies suggest that some...

...One day my dad told me that we were going to go fishing. We were going to go down to the red barn for the first time and fish in the pond. It was down a windy little path maybe a quarter mile away from my house. We went outside and gathered up all of the fishing gear in the back of our side by side and headed out. Regus, our black laboratory dog, began following us so we decided to let him tag along. It was bound to be a fun adventure, and I could not wait to explore the new area. As we began our first of many trips down the path to the pond, it was a rough ride. It was a very old path, and there were lots of bumps and dents in the ground. I’m guessing the path has been around for more than 100 years. It was fun going down it, don’t get me wrong....

...“effective and equitable” solutions to immediate management challenges (Jentoft, McCay, & Wilson, 2008, p. 423). Though implemented in a variety of unique ways across the globe, beginning in 1995 the co-management system in Maine awarded elected lobster license holders the power to propose rules regarding three topics, including: (1) maximum trap number per fishermen, (2) number of traps per line, and (3) hours of operation (Acheson, Stockwell, & Wilson, 2000, p. 54). An additional power was sanctioned in 1999, allowing councils to recommend the number of fishermen per coastal fishing zone (Acheson, Stockwell, & Wilson, 2000). Certainly co-management style of governance may contribute to resource conservation, it unfortunately does not directly address the needs of individual participants. According to the Gulf of Maine research Institute (2009), lobstermen’s high school completion rate is the lowest of all fishing industries, at only 81% (p.15). Corresponding, only 10% of lobstermen have received any form of business training, though each owns and operates their own business (Gulf of Maine Institute, 2009). Studies have also shown that the increase in yields has negatively influenced the development of nautical skills and abilities of younger fishermen (Steneck et al., 2010). Though lobstermen continue to thrive within this industry due to their hard-work while the focus species is readily available, these statistics make it relevant to consider what will occur when hard work simply...

...While at sea the old man, Santiago, not only faces battles of strength, but also perseverance. Santiago has had more than a person should have of bad luck within his fishing career. Despite his old age, he wants to make up for all of the fish that he didn’t catch in his eighty-four days of bad luck. The relationship that the old man has with the sea and the creatures of the sea is what gives him hope and the endurance to not give up. Endurance is having the strength and courage to keep moving forward to reach your goal, no matter what battles may try to get in the way of that goal. On his fishing journey, the old man catches a big marlin that really puts his endurance to the test. One quote that was said by Santiago was, “I may not be as strong as I think, but I know many tricks and I have resolution.” (23) This quote from the book is saying that the old man is aware that he is not as strong as he used to be when he was a young fisherman; however, he is wise enough to keep moving forward. He has had enough experience at sea to know what to do when something goes wrong, and he knows how to control a strong fish that puts up a fight such as the marlin that he caught. Santiago was willing to do anything to hold on to the big fish and to stop it from getting off of the line....
