There are many theories pertaining to the progression of ice covers in rivers fed by frazil slush and floes but very few have been examined critically by comparing them with field data. In this paper the existing theories on dynamic ice cover progression are reviewed, an additional one is proposed, and they are classified according to the physical mechanisms that are involved. Finally, they are compared with some existing field data for large rivers. The data are extremely scarce and difficult to obtain because of the costs involved and the dangers in traveling over thin ice when the ice cover is being formed.It is usually easier to get only the critical values of parameters giving the limits of ice cover progression. In this paper, complete data were taken from the St. Lawrence River, the Beauharnois Canal, and the La Grande Rivière where the ice thicknesses along with the flow parameters have been measured.In these cases the existing data are adequate, so they could be grouped to explain the various mechanisms involved and to obtain numerical values for their quantitative determination. Key words: glaciology, river ice, ice dynamics, fluvial processes, ice hydraulics.

The Cost

Regulation of the financial services authority (OJK) No. 31/POJK.05/2016 on Venture had arranged that the financial services agency on the basis of the law of pledge is in coaching and supervision OJK. Yet the existence of laws – invitation to Governing Enterprise pawn shops causing business activities conducted by the above parties are not yet regulated. The condition is feared could cause harm to the consumer society. The purpose of this research is to know the procedures, mechanisms, protection of goods and guarantee the consumer on an informal pledge financing, methods of determination of the cost of maintenance of the goods and the goods of the execution mechanism of the pledge as well as protection for the collateral items are viewed from the side of the consumer by looking at laws-invitations and Sharia. To find out whether the pledge have gotten permission from OJK. This research uses qualitative research methods with the study of library research, field data and simulations. The approach used in this study is the empirical juridical approach. Elaboration upon the results is discussed further in this article.

Mesoscale Structures

This work develops a new method, the box-balance model (BBM), to assess the role of hydrodynamic structures in the survival of fish larvae. The BBM was applied in the northwest Mediterranean to field data, on 2 small pelagic fish species whose larvae coexist in summer: Engraulis encrasicolus, a dominant species, and Sardinella aurita, which is expanding northwards in relation to sea warming. The BBM allows one to quantify the contribution of circulation, with significant mesoscale activity, to the survival of fish larvae, clearly separating the effect of transport from biological factors. It is based on comparing the larval abundances at age found in local target areas, associated with the mesoscale structures (boxes), to those predicted by the overall mortality rate of the population in the region. The application of the BBM reveals that dispersion/retention by hydrodynamic structures favours the survival of E. encrasicolus larvae. In addition, since larval growth and mortality rates of the species are required parameters for application of the BBM, we present their estimates for S. aurita in the region for the first time. Although growth and mortality rates found for S. aurita are both higher than for E. encrasicolus, their combined effect confers a lower survival to S. aurita larvae. Thus, although the warming trend in the region would contribute to the expansion of the fast-growing species S. aurita, we can confirm that E. encrasicolus is well established, with a better adapted survival strategy.
