Dec 12, 2006. #2. As far as I know, it's"in fede", like you suggest. Witness here is a verb meaning"autenticare, vidimare, legalizzare", and the position and (specifically legal) context of the phrase"witness my hand (this)..." (where"this" does indeed refer to the date) is the same as that of"in fede". But a legal expert would be able to ...
The first step is to determine how much iron is in the adult seals’ diets and how that changes throughout the year. Gray seals catch and eat a variety of fishes, crustaceans, and squid, all of which have different amounts of iron. The seals’ whiskers act as a sort of dietary timeline, incorporating molecular signatures from various food ...
Woods Hole, Mass. (Oct. 29, 2024) – Erebus Bay, Antarctica, is home to the southernmost population of the world’s southernmost living mammal – the Weddell seal. These seals may look like couch potatoes when they are resting on the ice, but Weddell seals go to great lengths to make a living in the harshest and most rapidly changing environments.
For the first time, the team has been able to capture underwater video of gillnet fishing in the Northeast U.S., catching seals, spiny dogfish, and other predators on camera as they approach and enter the nets. Capturing this first-of-its-kind footage has not been easy. The mesh netting that makes up a gillnet reaches ten feet high and extends ...
Heather Beem is closely examining seal whiskers for insights to design new undersea technology. (New England Aquarium; inset: Heather Beem, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) Like many other animals, seals can use their whiskers to touch objects to determine their size, shape, and distance away.
The notary's seal is recorded on one page, usually the last, but persons signing the document may be required to initial beside important points or statements in the document. In Britain and other English-speaking countries, they use a similar system, but notaries tend to be solicitors (lawyers) with additional training.
Mar 3, 2008. #2. Here,"my hand" means"my signature" (la mia firma), referring to the signature of the public official, which follows. It is one of those archaic legal fixed phrases. It means something like ..."Executed by [means of] my signature and the Seal ..." Using"executed by" in the sense of"brought into effect/force by","carried ...
Gray seals are gregarious animals—they gather in large groups on shore to breed, give birth, and molt. Female gray seals live up to 35 years and males about 25 years. Gray seals primarily hunt squid, fish, and sandeels; their main predators are humans, sharks, and orcas. Gray seal pups are born in autumn (September to November) in the eastern ...
A 3D model of gray seals, shown here, enables scientists to take body mass measurements of each animal (example outlined in green). (Photo by Michelle Shero, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) “The seals act as environmental sentinels – or a canary in the coal mine for our oceans,” said Shero, “Everything from nutrients to fish ...
Sea level is rising, says Chris Piecuch, a physical oceanographer and sea-level scientist at WHOI. Not only that, it’s rising faster over time. Scientists use computer models to predict how it will change in the future. But “I look more to the past,” Piecuch says. “What’s happened over the past few decades or the past few centuries.”.
