Breeding-site fidelity and dispersal in isolated populations of three migratory passerines

Living in an isolated patchmay increase, for example, the extinction risk of a local population, but such risksmay bemitigated by natal and breeding dispersal.We therefore analyzed five years of Russian banding data on BootedWarbler,Whinchat and YellowWagtail (Hippolais caligata, Saxicola rubetra and Motacilla flava, respectively), within a 20-ha abandonedmeadow, isolated from similar habitat by vast areas of woodland.We individually banded 203 Booted Warblers, 193 Whinchats and 83 Yellow Wagtails. During the years following banding, fourmales ofBootedWarbler (2.0%), onemale ofWhinchat (0.4%) and 11 Yellow Wagtails (13.3%; 7 males and 4 females) returned to the study meadow. The apparent survival rate of the YellowWagtail was significantly higher than that of theWhinchat and BootedWarbler. For the YellowWagtail, the yearly numbers of recoveries varied considerably, and were linked with previous-year breeding success. Successful years were usually followed by returns to the same site next year. Moreover, recoveries of individuals that were born at the study site during the preceding years were extremely scarce (two out of a total of 258 banded nestlings). These findings suggest two important aspects: (1) species-specific returning rates and annual fluctuation in these are largely defined bymortality and reproductive success during the previous year, and (2) local populations of all three species are apparentlymostly formed by immigrants, implying that local nestling productionmay not contribute significantly to the local population. The negative consequences of living in isolated patches of habitat may be mitigated by natal and breeding dispersal.

factors in equity do non-unit exposures matter?

The Heston-Rouwenhorst ( HR ) estimates of country and industry factors have been criticised for assuming that each stock has unit exposures to its own country and industry factor. We address this issue analytically and empirically. Our position is that HR are not modeling and estimating a return generating process. Rather, they provide an algorithm for linearly combining pre-deﬁned standard country and sector portfolio returns such that the eﬀects of diﬀerent sector weights in country indices (and vv ) are taken into account. This is valid in itself, just like it makes sense to compute a value-weighted or equally-weighted market return even when we know that stocks’ betas are probably diﬀerent from unity. In addition, we ﬁnd that a Fama-MacBeth variant of HR , which does allow for non-unit exposures, produces nearly identical factors as the original version. Allowing for non-unit exposures does make sense, though, if the purpose is to estimate a stock’s return-generating process, for instance in an event study, or if one wishes to study the analog of β 2 j var(˜ r m ), the variance generated by the market factor in an individual stock, rather than var(˜ r m ). If this is the purpose, the relative importance of country factors grows, and even more so if one corrects for the eﬀects of estimation error in the exposures. In fact, exposures to industry factors are surprisingly low—about 0.30 instead of over 0.90 for world and country factors.
Tully-Fisher Relations from an HI-Selected Sample

The optical and near-infrared Tully–Fisher relations are examined for an H i-selected sample of galaxies. This sample is unique in that membership is simply defined by the overlap of blind 21-cm, optical and near-infrared catalogues, rather than pre-selecting candidate Tully–Fisher galaxies for which to obtain rotational measurements. Three fundamental questions are considered: (i) Does the scatter depend on a third variable? (ii) What is the intrinsic scatter of the relationship? (iii) What is the slope of the z= 0 relationship as a function of wavelength, and can a single slope relationship be obtained by converting to stellar or baryonic mass? The H i Parkes All-Sky Survey (HIPASS) Catalogue (HICAT) provides 21-cm linewidths for 4315 galaxies selected purely on their H i content, and enables the Tully–Fisher relation to be studied without the need to optically pre-select galaxies for which to obtain rotational measures. ESO-LV and the Two Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) are used for optical (B, R) and near-infrared (J, H, K) photometry, with samples of up to 351 and 860 galaxies examined, respectively. Third parameter dependencies are tested by correlating offsets from the derived B- and K-band relations with candidate observed and intrinsic variables. A strong dependence is found on purely observational parameters such as galaxy inclination and size. Large-scale galaxy flows are also found to increase observed scatter. Correlations of Tully–Fisher offset with physical properties are found to be strongly dependent on the fitted slope of relation, indicating that if real, these dependencies are weak and largely act in parallel to the observed relations. However, a potential dependence is observed on stellar population (as measured by B-R colour) and star formation rate (measured by far-infrared luminosity). The intrinsic scatter and slope of the Tully–Fisher relation are measured by applying galaxy selection cuts to minimize observational errors. For the B-band relation, a slope of 3.40 ± 0.09 is obtained with an observed scatter of 0.40 mag (intrinsic 0.33 mag), and for the K-band relation a slope of 3.75 ± 0.08 is found with an observed scatter of 0.33 mag (intrinsic 0.25 mag). Including the observed H i masses to calculate baryonic relations, a slope of 3.91 ± 0.13 is obtained in B and 4.35 ± 0.14 in K.
Recognizing a road environment using multiple-window bag of features

: The idea of Bag of Features (BoF) is recently often employed for general object recognition. But, as it does not take positional relations of detected features into account, the recognition rate is still not very high for practical use. This paper proposes a method of describing the feature of an object by the BoF representation which considers positional information of the features. Although the original BoF representation is applied to an entire image, the proposed method employs multiple windows on an image. The BoF representation is applied to each of the windows to represent an object in the image interested for recognition. The performance of the proposed method is shown experimentally.
HiPAS: High Performance Adaptive Schema Migration Development and Evaluation of Self-Adaptive Software for Database Migrations

– HiPAS stands for “High Performance Adaptive Schema Migration” and is a self-adaptive software system, aimed at reducing downtime during offline database migrations by automatically adapting to available system resources. The process of a database migration can be shortened by parallelizing the data transfer up to a certain degree. In this article, we describe how HiPAS was enabled to continuously adapt the parallelization degree according to its operational environment in order to avoid both overloading and idle resources. To automate the developed method, we implemented HiPAS following decisions taken within the dimensions of design space for self-adaptive software. Based on a centralized control pattern in distributed systems, HiPAS uses a feedback loop to enable adaptions. Hence, according to monitored system information, the current utilization is adjusted whenever necessity is assumed. To enable a flexible adaption, the total amount of migration data is partitioned into equal sized transfer jobs, which are distributed across available instances and networks. HiPAS is invoked on database layer and controlled by a temporarily created autonomous database user. Therefore, migration metadata are stored inside tables and highly integrated with the actual migration data. HiPAS was designed and evaluated iteratively following the IS research framework and reveals significant downtime reduction potential compared to non-adaptive migration approaches like Oracle “Data Pump”. Our results serve as a contribution for all practitioners, who seek to perform database migrations within a challenging timeframe, as well as researchers on self-adaptive software and their various fields of application.
Short Report: A Comparative Study of Clinical Features between Monotypic and Dual Infection Cases with Chikungunya Virus and Dengue Virus in West Bengal, India

Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and dengue virus (DENV) are circulating individually in the state of West Bengal, India. However, after 1965 the dual-infection caused by both viruses had not been recorded until 2010. In 2010, an investigation of the febrile cases was carried out to confirm the involvement of both viruses simultaneously. A total of 550 blood samples were tested for the detection of immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody against both CHIKV and DENV. Serology by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method confirmed that 131 (23.8%) and 104 (18.9%) patients had IgM antibody against CHIKV and DENV, respectively, whereas 68 (12.4%) had IgM antibodies against both CHIKV and DENV. Fever, joint pain, rashes, headache, myalgia, and nausea/vomiting are the common features in the case of both monotypic and dual-infection. Severe arthralgia and swelling of joints were common only in CHIKV-positive cases and abdominal pain was mainly associated with DENV infection. Diarrhea was reported only by the dual- infected patients (16.2%).
Centrifuge Modeling of the Influence of Pre-Existing Fractures in Multilayered Soils on Ground Deformations

Fault rupture propagation in free fields lays the ground for an understanding of bedrock-soil-structure interactions. Propagation behaviors in dry soil have long been investigated. Localized shear bands have been identified to be the obvious source of failure in dry soils at depth. In addition, numerous subsurface fractures have been found in the field. However, the influence of subsurface fractures in the soil on future seismic faults has received little attention, especially in complex soils. In this study, three centrifuge tests were conducted to investigate the influence of pre-existing fractures on ground deformations in three multilayered soils: three-layered, fivelayered and nine-layered soils. The pre-existing fractures in these tests started from the bedrock fault line and tilted with a dip slip angle of 70 with respect to the horizontal plane. In this paper, both of the ground surface settlement and the bedrock fault movements are presented. Post test examination of the cracks on model surface are also described and compared to studies that did not consider the influence of pre-existing fractures.
A REVIEW ON NIOSOMES AS TARGETED DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM

: The advanced technique is a targeted drug delivery in which drugs deliver to the patients in a targeted sequences that increases the absorption of delivered drug to the targeted body part only (organs, tissues, cells) which in turn improves efficacy of treatment by reducing side effects of drug administration. Principally targeted drug delivery is to help the drug molecule to reach first to the desired site. The inherent benefit of this technique leads to administration of necessary drug with its reduced dose and reduced its side effect. This important benefit of targeted drug delivery system is under high consideration of research and development in clinical and pharmaceutical fields as backbone of therapeutics & diagnostics as well. Various drug carriers which can be used in this advanced delivery system are soluble polymers, biodegradable microsphere polymers (synthetic and natural), niosomes, liposomes, micelles and immune micelle etc. The purpose of a targeted drug delivery system is to target, localize, prolong and have a protected drug interaction with the diseased tissue. This review exhibits the significance of vesicular drug delivery (niosomes, liposomes) as one of the future targeted delivery system. Furthermore it depicts the advantages, disadvantages, preparation methods and characterization of niosomes.
Improved Technique of Sentiment Classification for Objective Word

— urrently sentiment analysis is dynamic era of research in which people's opinion is being extracted about particular product, service, and brand. The most practical application of sentiment analysis is the sentiment classification of product reviews. Basically the process of sentiment classification involves classification of user reviews either as positive or negative from textual information. But Along with positive and negative reviews, objective review play a crucial role in sentiment classification and important fact is that SentiWordNet is consist of 90% of objective expression which are considered as worthless while scoring polarity of word and sentence. This work proposes a new semi-supervised sentiment classification method by exploiting a large number of unlabeled instances to conduct sentiment classification for Web customer reviews. In the proposed method every customer review has been classified as positive, negative and objective words of reviews. Positive and negative customer reviews replicate the opinions expressed by opinion words, while the objective review is constructed by the remaining text features. In this method we use three sentiment classifiers that iteratively executed and present expected outcome. In the proposed method, the first sentiment classifier is build using the common unigram features coming from customer reviews. The second sentiment classifier is constructed for positive and negative word calculation extracted from consumer reviews. The remaining text features of these reviews are used for evaluating the objective word that can be trained for the third classifier. Experimental outcomes show the proposed method is effective, and classify reviews in positive, negative and objective words effectively.

Frequency Domain Analysis of Water Hammer with Fluid-Structure Interaction in Viscoelastic pipe

: In this research, fluid-structure interaction including transient flow in a viscoelastic pipe has been studied in the frequency domain. The main purpose was to investigate the water hammer problem using extended transfer matrix method in a typical reservoir-viscoelastic pipe-valve system. One of the generally expected advantages of frequency domain analysis is that the integral form of equations in the time domain would be transformed into algebraic form. Here it would be more beneficial to utilize frequency domain methods since convolution integral which appears in viscoelastic models in time domain will also vanish. Transfer matrix method has been adopted to the transient flow in a viscoelastic pipe to derive field matrix where a non-oscillating valve is considered as a boundary condition. The generalized Kelvin-Voigt model was used to simulate the viscoelastic behavior of the pipe wall. The proposed model has been explored to solve two well-known case studies of fluid-structure interaction in the frequency domain. Results of both cases confirm the good agreement between analytical and experimental data. To investigate the simultaneous effects of viscoelasticity and fluid-structure interaction in the frequency domain a sample problem has been analyzed. Results for different conditions including interactional and non-interactional system together with both viscoelastic and elastic pipe material have been illustrated and compared. Also, a comparison among 3-element, 5-element, and higher order Kelvin-Voigt models has been performed based on which one may deduce the appropriateness of 3-element model.
A Potential-splitting approach to multichannel Coulomb scattering : the driven Schrödinger equation formulation II. Comparing an Adiabatic versus a Diabaticrepresentation. Application to the fundamental low-energy mutual neutralisationreaction H+ + H− ! H2 ! H(1) + H(n)

A rigorous formalism for solving the Coulomb scattering problem is presented in this thesis. The approach is based on splitting the interaction potential into a finite-range part and a long-range tail part. In this representation the scattering problem can be reformulated to one which is suitable for applying exterior complex scaling. The scaled problem has zero boundary conditions at infinity and can be implemented numerically for finding scattering amplitudes. The systems under consideration may consist of two or three charged particles. The technique presented in this thesis is first developed for the case of a two body single channel Coulomb scattering problem. The method is mathematically validated for the partial wave formulation of the scattering problem. Integral and local representations for the partial wave scattering amplitudes have been derived. The partial wave results are summed up to obtain the scattering amplitude for the three dimensional scattering problem. The approach is generalized to allow the two body multichannel scattering problem to be solved. The theoretical results are illustrated with numerical calculations for a number of models. Finally, the potential splitting technique is further developed and validated for the three body Coulomb scattering problem. It is shown that only a part of the total interaction potential should be split to obtain the inhomogeneous equation required such that the method of exterior complex scaling can be applied. The final six-dimensional equation is reduced to a system of three dimensional equations using the full angular momentum representation. Such a system can be numerically implemented using the existing full angular momentum complex exterior scaling code (FAMCES). The code has been updated to solve the three body scattering problem.
Bidirectional Discriminant Supervised Locality Preserving Projection for Face Recognition

—Dimensionality reduction and feature extraction are of crucial importance for achieving high efﬁciency in manipulating the high dimensional data. Two-dimensional discriminant locality preserving projection (2D-DLPP) and two-dimensional discriminant supervised LPP (2D-DSLPP) are two effective two-dimensional projection methods for dimensionality reduction and feature extraction of face image matrices. Since 2D-DLPP and 2D-DSLPP preserve the local structure information of the original data and exploit the discriminant information, they usually have good recognition performance. However, 2D-DLPP and 2D-DSLPP only employ single-sided projection, and thus the generated low dimensional data matrices have still many features. In this paper, by combining the discriminant supervised LPP with the bidirectional projection, we propose the bidirectional discriminant supervised LPP (BDSLPP). The left and right projection matrices for BDSLPP can be computed iteratively. Experimental results show that the proposed BDSLPP achieves higher recognition accuracy than 2D-DLPP, 2D-DSLPP, and bidirectional discriminant LPP (BDLPP).
Competitiveness and the development of socio-economic systems " dedicated to the memory of Alexander Tatarkin NATIONAL ECONOMIC SECURITY DIAGNOSTICS

Last year aporia has been marked in the socio-economic development of regions of Russia, which is as follows: there is a state of the socio-economic system which is characterized by normal levels of indicators and tendencies. However, there are some preconditions for the regression of the system. Application of the method of economic security in this situation allows to a certain extent to resolve the contradiction. The method is continuously developing; new approaches appear from one side. From the other side, economy is continuously under the influence of opposing tendencies, challenges and threats, conflicting trends. False preconditions for economic development, misinterpretation of processes lead to a slowdown in development or a transition to a crisis state of the socio-economic system of the region. The authors work on improving diagnostic tools: they develop methods of express diagnostics, determine new directions of researches. The new type of direction is pseudo security of the region, when the region can lose the stable development in future even at positive dynamics of particular indicators. Methodical tools have been worked out in the territories of the Ural federal district. 2357-1330 © 2021 Published by European Publisher.
