Decisions, Resolutions, Recommendations Sample Clauses

Decisions, Resolutions, Recommendations. Following the identification of underwater noise as a source of disturbance, stress, injury and death in the marine environment, a variety of international law texts have been produced with the aim of regulating noise- generating human activities and abating the negative effects of acoustic pollution. Recent effort towards the achievement of these objectives is presented hereinafter: - The Resolution 1998-5 and the Resolution 1998-6 of the International Whaling Commission were adopted during the 50th annual meeting in 1998 and identify underwater noise as an argument for future work. In particular, the commission urges the scientific committee to examine environmental changes and human factors other than direct hunting in the study of whale dynamics. Thus, noise impact is identified by the SWGEC (Standing Working Group on Environmental Concern) as a priority topic for future research (16). Since that time, the SWGEC has convened four symposia on ocean noise, on recent developments in the noise literature, on seismic surveys, on masking impacts, and on the impacts (including noise) of offshore renewable; and every year addresses developments in the field for the IWC Scientific Committee’s annual report. - Resolution 7.5 of the CMS, 2002, addresses the impact of wind turbines on migratory species. This Resolution calls the contracting parties to realize a full environmental impact assessment, including noise among the factors needed to be studied, prior to deciding upon the localization of construction sites and prior to permission granting. Further, this Resolution promotes the development of specific guidelines for the establishment of such installations (17). - The European Parliament adopted the Resolution P6_TA(2004)0047 in 2004. It deals with environmental effects of high intensity active naval sonar. The Parliament calls on the European Union and its Member States to adopt moratoriums aiming to restrict the use of high-intensity active naval sonar until a global assessment of their cumulative environmental impact on marine mammals, fish and other marine life has been completed. Moreover, the European Parliament calls to develop alternative technologies and to study the impact of noise in European waters. Finally, it calls to investigate mass stranding events related to the use of naval sonar (18). - The Resolution 3.068 of the IUCN, adopted in the 2004 World Conservation Congress, allowed notable progress in considering noise as a parameter related to...

  • Manufacturer's Recommendations All work or materials shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations and requirements. The Contractor shall obtain the manufacturer’s recommendations and requirements, for its use at the Site in executing the Work, copies of bulletins, circulars, catalogues, or other publications bearing the manufacturer’s titles, numbers, editions, dates, etc. If the manufacturer’s recommendations and requirements are not available, the Contractor shall request installation instructions from the Design Professional.

  • Conclusions and Recommendations The demonstration and evaluation process provided an opportunity to test community specific tools with a range of end users from the memory institution domain and to gain greater insight into both the current and future evolution of the SHAMAN prototypes for preservation, access and re-use. Xxxx et al. (2000) in their user evaluation study of the Alexandria Digital Library which incorporated the evaluation of a Web prototype by earth scientists, information specialists and educators raised four key questions in relation to their findings that SHAMAN may be well advised to consider, they are paraphrased here with our conclusions from the investigations. What have we learned about our target organizations and potential users?  Memory institutions are most definitely not a homogenised group; their needs and requirements differ greatly across the domain.  Representatives of the archives community are agreed on the benefits of SHAMAN‟s authenticity validation function.  The representatives of government information services remained unconvinced as to the need or benefit of grid technologies or distributed ingest while librarians saw the value of grid access as an asset of the framework. What have we learned about the evaluation approach for digital preservation?  Within the limits of the exercise, in terms of time-frame and resources, the approach adopted has generated useful information for the further development of demonstrators and for the development of the SHAMAN framework overall. What have we learned about the SHAMAN ISP1 demonstrator?  Respondents to the evaluation questionnaires and the focus groups indicate that, overall, the presentation of the demonstrator worked effectively and that, in general, participants in the demonstration and evaluation events were able to understand the intentions of the demonstration and to apply the ideas presented to their own context. What have we learned about the applicability of the SHAMAN framework to memory institutions?  Respondents to the questionnaires and participants in the focus groups readily identified the value of the SHAMAN framework to their own operations. The majority had not yet established a long-term digital preservation policy, but recognized the need. Generally, the concepts of distributed ingest and grid operations found favour.  Virtually all practitioners in the focus groups, however, drew attention to need of a lower level demonstration that would be closer to their everyday preservation troubles, especially for digital preservation to be applied to non-textual materials, such as film, photographs and sound archives. In addition to the criteria suggested by Xxxx et al., we can add a further project-related question: What have we learned that has implications for the training and dissemination phase of the Project?  It was not part of the remit of the demonstration and evaluation specifically to discover information of relevance to the training and dissemination function. However, a number of factors will affect the efficacy of any training programme in particular. o First, no common understanding of digital preservation can be assumed of the potential target audiences for training. Consequently, it is likely that self-paced learning materials will be most effective in presenting the SHAMAN framework. o Secondly, the aims of SHAMAN as a project must be conveyed clearly: specifically, that it is a kind of „proof-of-concept‟ project and is not intended to deliver a package of programs capable of being implemented by institutions. o Thirdly, it needs to be emphasised that the SHAMAN framework is not limited to text documents; it can be applied to materials of all kinds. However, the demonstrations relate to bodies of material that were actually available for use. o Fourthly, the existing presentation materials are capable of being adapted for use in training activities. o Finally, the target audiences will appreciate the possibility of online access to the demonstrator, which will need to have very great ease of access in order that people with diverse backgrounds are able to use it with equal facility. We believe that, overall, WP14 has met its aims and objectives in this demonstration and evaluation of ISP1. Valuable lessons have been learnt by all parties involved, which will be transferred to the evaluation of ISP2 in the coming months.
