Simulations to Compare the Performance of Two Length-based Estimators of Total Mortality Rate
No full textThis report presents additional simulation results to supplement the results in:
Then, A. Y., J. M. Hoenig, and T. Gedamke. 2015. Comparison of two length-based estimators of total mortality: a simulation approach. Transactions of the American Fisheries Society. doi: 10.1080/00028487.2015.1077158.Mean length-based methods to estimate instantaneous total mortality rates, Z, are important assessment tools for data-poor stocks. One commonly used method was developed by Beverton and Holt (1956). The behavior of this method, especially in relation to bias, has been fairly well characterized. Another method by Ehrhardt and Ault (1992) was proposed to ‘correct’ the Beverton-Holt (BH) method for applications to length frequency distributions that are truncated at the upper end. The Ehrhardt-Ault (EA) method has zero bias at equilibrium when there is no variability in length at age but the reliability of the method has not been demonstrated under conditions of reasonable magnitude of growth variability. It is also unclear how one would determine the best input value for the upper length truncation parameter. This report presents additional simulation results to supplement the results in Then et al. (2015). The estimators, evaluation criteria, simulation procedures, and conditions simulated are given in Then et al. (2015)

Henry Grew, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, "to the Friends of Righteousness and humanity to convene at West Chester on the 25th inst.," October 23, 1861
No full textHenry Grew, Phila[delphia], [Pennsylvania], "to the Friends of Righteousness and humanity to convene at West Chester on the 25th inst." Regrets thta he cannot attend the abolitionist meeting; hopes God will guide the convention; afraid that "the Temptor" will turn them from a "right end" and make them use "wrong means"; God may use the Civil War to bring about abolition, but he may allow wicked men to accomplish this; the faithful are obligated to not support the war if it is not a "right measure to accomplish a right end"; the war is not just because it seeks merely to restore the pre-war government that allowed slavery; support for a government that merely prevents the extension of slavery is not enough; even if the ends are right [i.e. total abolition], war is still wrong; God's command of "thou shalt not kill" applies to soldiers as well; ministers who leave the pulpit and accept commissions are hypocrites; God's weapons are sufficient to defeat slavery. 4 page
