Encounters in Restricted Waters

Journal of Navigation, 1984
Lewison gave a brief outline in modelling of marine traffic flow and gave four possible definitions of the ship to ship encounter as well as developing his own optimal criteria. Barratt has been working on the concept of an encounter for several years and has developed the postulates given by Stratton in a presidential address to the Royal Institute of

Guar resilience in water‐restricted production

Crop Science, 2022
AbstractGuar [Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub] is an alternative crop in the Southern High Plains that thrives in semi‐arid regions, due to its low water input requirements. Field experiments were conducted in 2017 and 2018 at New Deal, TX, to evaluate the response of guar (‘Matador’) to four levels of deficit irrigation (DI; extreme, 51 mm; severe ...

Liquid Water Restricts Habitability in Extreme Deserts

Astrobiology, 2017
Liquid water is a requirement for biochemistry, yet under some circumstances it is deleterious to life. Here, we show that liquid water reduces the upper temperature survival limit for two extremophilic photosynthetic microorganisms (Gloeocapsa and Chroococcidiopsis spp.) by greater than 40°C under hydrated conditions compared to desiccated conditions.

Responses of Reindeer to Water Loading, Water Restriction and ADH

Acta Physiologica Scandinavica, 1977
AbstractTwo female reindeer were hydrated by administration of (10% of b.wt.) water into the rumen. The diuretic response was very fast and strong but the urea and electrolyte excretion were little affected. Dehydration was carried out by not giving the reindeer water for 48 h. This water deprivation caused a loss of up to 20% of their body weight. The

Vessel Controllability in Restricted Waters

Journal of the Waterways, Harbors and Coastal Engineering Division, 1971
Existing knowledge of hydrodynamic factors affecting the movement of a ship in restricted waterways is critically examined. It is shown that the external forces can be either active, such as rudder power from either engine or rudder (and even tugboats), or passive, such as improved communications which enable quicker response to a change in ...

Effectiveness of water rate increases following watering restrictions

Journal AWWA, 2002
The persistence of the drought has led numerous towns across the southwest to consider rate structure increases in addition to, and subsequent to, watering restrictions. Colorado Springs and Aurora have instituted postrestriction rate increases.

Food and Water Restriction in the Wrestler

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1979
The present practice in wrestling of "making weight" is hazardous to the health of growing young men, primarily because competitors lose too high a percentage of body fat. The Tcheng-Tipton-Clarke method should be used to control food restriction, while observation of specific gravity of urine should be used to control fluid restriction and hydration.

Urban Water Restrictions: Attitudes and Avoidance

2010
In most urban cities across Australia, water restrictions remain the dominant policy mechanism to restrict urban water consumption. The extensive adoption of water restrictions over several years means that Australian urban water prices have consistently not reflected the opportunity cost of water (Edwards 2008).

Navigation in crowded and restricted waters

Transport Reviews, 1981
Abstract The freedom of the seas, or the right of innocent passage whereby the Master of a ship may proceed as and how he chooses has, in recent years, come under considerable public scrutiny. This scrutiny has resulted in an increasing intervention by land‐based authorities to limit the traditional freedoms, by means of regulating the flow of shipping
