In a population in which the sexual nature of the individuals is not subject to change, the sex-ratio of a given brood as determinable in practice may be different at different times if there is a differential rate of maturation for the two sexes, or a differential death rate. Excluding from present consideration the periods in the life of the population at which these differentials may operate…
The following is an account of plankton measurements obtained during a cruise2 of the research vessel "Atlantis" to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between July and September 1947. It is primarily a study of plankton in the great central Atlantic eddy known as the Sargasso Sea. For comparative purposes, a small amount of material was obtained from New England coastal waters, the so-called slope water ar…
The year 1967 marks the 150th anniversary of the Bogor Botanic Garden. It was founded by C. G. C. Reinwardt on May 18, 1817. From this garden grew successively the Bibliotheca Bogoriensis in 1842, the Her barium Bogoriense in 1844, the Botanical Laboratory, which is known as the Treub Laboratory, in 1884, the Museum Zoologicum Bogoriense in 1894 and finally the Marine Research Laboratory i…
The convenience of the bathythermograph for making rapid detailed surveys of the thermal structure in vertical sections of the ocean is leading to an accumulation of data on ocean temperatures far exceeding that on the corresponding salinities. Since dynamic height anomaly computations require a knowledge of both the temperature and the salinity as functions of depth, it is the purpose of …
The analytical study of gravity waves of finite height which are periodic and move without change in shape in an ideal irrotational fluid is a subject which has occupied the attention of physicists and mathematicians ever since Stokes published his classic paper entitled “On the Theory of Oscillatory Waves” in 1847.
This volume, volume IX of Masalah-masalah Iniernasional Masa- kini, contains five articles giving an Asian — or better a Southeast Asian perspective on Asian political developments. The first article written by Dr. Pensri Duke of Chulalongkorn University, deals with the big power rivalry and interest underlying Thai-German relations at the end of the last century until the begin ning of…
The growing interest in the intensity of light beneath the surface of the ocean from both the physical and the biological points of view has resulted in further efforts to obtain reliable measurements under widely differing conditions and in a variety of locations. For the most part, however, these measurements have been made in northern waters and have been confined largely to coastal regions.…
Kumpulan ini merupakan volume 8 dari sen ’’Masalah-Masalah Internasional Masakini” yang diterbitkan oleh Lembaga Research Kebudayaan Nasional/LIPI dalam rangka tugasnya mengembangkan pengertian yang lebih mendalam di dalam masyarakat kita tentang studi internasional dan studi wilayah.
In the course of studying several seasons statistics on the age composition of the commercial catch of the Pacific sardine (Sardinops cacrulea) have found what appears to be a fairly indicative measure of year-class strength in the total number of three-year-old fish caught by commercial fishermen in all Pacific Coast ports of United States and Canada.
The present paper contains the results of a study of the Paguridae of the Snellius Expedition, with the exception of the larger part of the Pagurinae, which until now I was unable to identify with sufficient accuracy.
