Mitigation research priorities Sample Clauses

Mitigation research priorities. The Working Group identified the following PLL mitigation research priorities: Weighted branch lines: continued work to identify branch line weighting configurations (mass, placement, shape, number of leads and materials) that are effective at reducing seabird bycatch with and without other mitigation, and that are safe and practical. Bird-scaring lines: compare the effectiveness of one compared with. two bird-scaring lines; develop methods that create drag to maximise aerial extent while minimising entanglements of the in- water portion of bird-scaring lines with longline floats; and compare the effectiveness of bird-scaring lines with different steamer lengths, configurations, and materials. Also trial methods for efficient retrieval and stowage of bird scaring lines. Night setting: determine effectiveness of bird scaring lines and branch-line weighting at night by characterising seabird behaviour at night using thermal or night-vision technologies. Combinations of mitigation measures: continue to evaluate the effectiveness of pairings of the three best-practice mitigation methods (night setting, branch-line weighting and bird- scaring lines). Novel technologies: continue to develop novel technologies that release or protect baited hooks to depths beyond the reach of seabirds. Seabird “hot spots”: delineate areas of high concentrations where albatrosses and petrels are at most risk to mortality in pelagic longline fisheries and where the most rigorous seabird bycatch mitigation should be required, using bycatch rates reported by Parties as well as seabird tracking data and other data sources. It is useful also to understand which areas have least risk for albatrosses and petrels so as to avoid application of measures that fishers regard as pointless.

Mitigation research priorities. The Working Group identified the following four research areas as the highest priorities for further reducing seabird bycatch in trawl fisheries (high priority should also be given to investigating best-practice combinations of mitigation):
Mitigation research priorities. On the basis of discussions regarding mitigation research priorities for demersal longline fisheries, the Working Group identified the development and testing of mitigation measures for small vessels as the main outstanding research priority.

The installation referred to in item “c” includes, but is not limited to, offshore platforms, pipelines, Oil and Gas Treatment plants, equipment and facilities for measurement of the inspected Production, wellhead equipment, production pipes, flow lines, tanks, and other facilities exclusively intended for extraction, as well as oil and gas pipelines for Production Outflow and their respective compressor and pumping stations.

  • AREAS OF COLLABORATION The School will collaborate under Xxxx Innovation Mission to establish, operate and support ATL in India within the school premises with financial support from NITI Aayog.

  • Project Implementation 2. The Borrower shall:

  • Research Use Reporting To assure adherence to NIH GDS Policy, the PI agrees to provide annual Progress Updates as part of the annual Project Renewal or Project Close-out processes, prior to the expiration of the one (1) year data access period. The PI who is seeking Renewal or Close-out of a project agree to complete the appropriate online forms and provide specific information such as how the data have been used, including publications or presentations that resulted from the use of the requested dataset(s), a summary of any plans for future research use (if the PI is seeking renewal), any violations of the terms of access described within this Agreement and the implemented remediation, and information on any downstream intellectual property generated from the data. The PI also may include general comments regarding suggestions for improving the data access process in general. Information provided in the progress updates helps NIH evaluate program activities and may be considered by the NIH GDS governance committees as part of NIH’s effort to provide ongoing stewardship of data sharing activities subject to the NIH GDS Policy.

  • Collaboration We believe joint effort toward common goals achieves trust and produces greater impact for L.A. County’s youngest children and their families.

  • Clinical 2.1 Provides comprehensive evidence based nursing care to patients including assessment, intervention and evaluation.

  • Research Use The Requester agrees that if access is approved, (1) the PI named in the DAR and (2) those named in the “Senior/Key Person Profile” section of the DAR, including the Information Technology Director and any trainee, employee, or contractor1 working on the proposed research project under the direct oversight of these individuals, shall become Approved Users of the requested dataset(s). Research use will occur solely in connection with the approved research project described in the DAR, which includes a 1-2 paragraph description of the proposed research (i.e., a Research Use Statement). Investigators interested in using Cloud Computing for data storage and analysis must request permission to use Cloud Computing in the DAR and identify the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) or providers and/or Private Cloud System (PCS) that they propose to use. They must also submit a Cloud Computing Use Statement as part of the DAR that describes the type of service and how it will be used to carry out the proposed research as described in the Research Use Statement. If the Approved Users plan to collaborate with investigators outside the Requester, the investigators at each external site must submit an independent DAR using the same project title and Research Use Statement, and if using the cloud, Cloud Computing Use Statement. New uses of these data outside those described in the DAR will require submission of a new DAR; modifications to the research project will require submission of an amendment to this application (e.g., adding or deleting Requester Collaborators from the Requester, adding datasets to an approved project). Access to the requested dataset(s) is granted for a period of one (1) year, with the option to renew access or close-out a project at the end of that year. Submitting Investigator(s), or their collaborators, who provided the data or samples used to generate controlled-access datasets subject to the NIH GDS Policy and who have Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval and who meet any other study specific terms of access, are exempt from the limitation on the scope of the research use as defined in the DAR.
