Year: 2015

description: This study was focused on substituting a part of whole wheat flour (WWF) with mushroom flour (MF) to develop mushroom bread for children, as an attempt to solve the problem in protein energy malnutrition of children from 1-5 years. The effect of mushroom supplementation on some physico-chemical and sensory properties of wheat bread was determined, as well as the dough rheological properties(farinograph) of the whole wheat flour with various proportions of the protein- rich mushroom flour were investigated. Examination of the functional properties of two different flours and breads were carried out. Analyses were made for different formulated bread and compared with the recommended daily allowance (RDA). The crude protein, crude fat, crude fibre ,ash and energy of the composite bread loaves increased significantly (p < 0.05) from 10.21% to 23.92%, 1.72% to 1.92%, 1.59% to 2.57% ,0.88% to 2.69% and 275.4kcal to 276.45kcal, respectively ; while the moisture content and carbohydrate decreased with increased level of supplementation from 30.84% to 28.02%, and 54.76% to 40.89% respectively. There was also a decrease in bulk density and bread volume by 22.22% and 44.86% respectively, with progressive inclusion of the mushroom flour. The sensory analysis showed that there was no significant difference (p < 0.05) in texture, taste, flavour and overall acceptability up to 12.5% substitution with mushroom flour. In this study, it was attempted to optimize the ingredient formulation and processing parameters of MF incorporated bread such as nutrient and sensory score responses. D – Optimal design was used which consists of WWF and MF, with 13 formulations for the nutrient and sensory score of the MF incorporated bread. The result showed that the optimized acceptability of the MF incorporated bread containing WWF 80.86%, MF 19.14%, protein 34g, energy 455.78kcal and overall acceptability of 6.2 was suitable for children between the age groups of 1-5 years being not lower than the recommended dietary allowance for this group of children . It was concluded that a substitution of 12.5% mushroom flour into wheat flour gave the bread with the best overall quality indices. Therefore Mixture Design was used to investigate the effects of Whole Wheat Flour (WWF) and Oyster Mushroom flour (MF)) on the bread. Keywords: Bread, characterization, mixture design, mushroom, optimization, protein, wheat.

description: When applied to Image-to-text models, interpretability methods often provide token-by-token explanations namely, they compute a visual explanation for each token of the generated sequence. Those explanations are expensive to compute and unable to comprehensively explain the model's output. Therefore, these models often require some sort of approximation that eventually leads to misleading explanations. We develop a framework based on SHAP, that allows for generating comprehensive, meaningful explanations leveraging the meaning representation of the output sequence as a whole. Moreover, by exploiting semantic priors in the visual backbone, we extract an arbitrary number of features that allows the efficient computation of Shapley values on large-scale models, generating at the same time highly meaningful visual explanations. We demonstrate that our method generates semantically more expressive explanations than traditional methods at a lower compute cost and that it can be generalized over other explainability methods.

description: Objectives: Patients with asthma may feel limited in physical activity (PA). Reduced PA has been demonstrated in asthmatics versus healthy controls, and increasing PA associated with improved asthma outcomes. Obesity is commonly found with difficult-to-control asthma and worsens outcomes. We compared PA levels in participants with difficult-to-control asthma and elevated body mass index (BMI) (DOW group) and two mild-moderate asthma groups: one with BMI <25 kg/m2 (MHW) and one with BMI ≥25 (MOW). Methods: This cross-sectional study used 7-day recordings from wrist-worn accelerometers to compare PA between groups. Inactive time, light (LPA), moderate-vigorous PA (MVPA) were measured, along with two novel metrics: intensity gradient (IG) reflecting PA intensity, and average acceleration (AA) reflecting PA volume. PA parameters were compared using ANOVA or Kruskall-Wallis testing. Correlation and linear regression analyses explored associations between PA parameters and asthma outcomes. As AA was the PA parameter correlated most closely with asthma-related outcomes, an exploratory analysis compared outcomes in highest and lowest AA quartiles. Results: 75 participants were recruited; 57 accelerometer readings were valid and included in analysis. Inactive time was significantly higher (p < 0.001), and LPA (p < 0.007), MVPA (p < 0.001), IG (p < 0.001) and AA (p < 0.001) all significantly lower in DOW versus MHW and MOW groups, even after adjusting for age and BMI. Quartiles based on AA had significantly different asthma profiles. Conclusions: Overweight/obese participants with difficult-to-control asthma performed less PA, and activity of reduced intensity and volume. Increased AA is associated with improvement in several asthma-related outcomes. Increased PA should be recommended to relevant patients.

description: Risk for asthma in the overweight/obese may be mediated by adiponectin and peroxisome proliferator activated receptor pathways and may be reduced by the use of oral drugs impacting these pathways, such as angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-I), thiazolidinediones (TZD), and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB). Our study objective was to determine whether ACE-I, TZD, and/or ARB use in overweight/obese adults with diabetes mellitus and/or hypertension is associated with a lower risk for incident asthma. Using an existing cohort of American veterans, we performed a longitudinal data analysis over 15 years. Exposure was defined by the prescription pickup of ACE-I, TZD, and/or ARB for at least 4 weeks. The outcome, time until new-onset of clinician-diagnosed asthma, was studied using survival analysis. The propensity scoring method controlled for treatment selection bias. 2.83 million eligible veterans, including 77,278 with incident asthma, were studied. As compared to those unexposed, the use of ACE-I alone, TZD alone, or their combinations were each associated with decreased risk for incident asthma (hazard ratios of 0.88, 0.74, and 0.20, respectively; p < 0.001 for all analyses in the fully adjusted statistical models). TZD lowered the risk among racial/ethnic minority subjects more than among White participants (p < 0.001). On the other hand, ARB use alone or in combination with TZD was associated with a higher risk for incident asthma. Use of ACE-I and/or TZD was associated with a lower risk for incident asthma in overweight/obese patients with diabetes mellitus and/or hypertension.

description: We implement the Bayesian inference to retrieve energy spectra of all neutrinos from a galactic core-collapse supernova (CCSN). To achieve high statistics and full sensitivity to all flavours of neutrinos, we adopt a combination of several reaction channels from different large-scale neutrino observatories, namely inverse beta decay on proton and elastic scattering on electron from Hyper-Kamiokande (Hyper-K), charged current absorption on Argon from Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) and coherent elastic scattering on Lead from RES-NOVA. Assuming no neutrino oscillation or specific oscillation models, we obtain mock data for each channel through Poisson processes with the predictions, for a typical source distance of 10 kpc in our Galaxy, and then evaluate the probability distributions for all spectral parameters of theoretical neutrino spectrum model with Bayes' theorem. Although the results for either the electron-neutrinos or electron-antineutrinos reserve relatively large uncertainties (according to the neutrino mass hierarchy), a precision of a few percent (i.e., $\pm 1 \% \sim \pm 4 \%$ at a credible interval of $2 σ$) is achieved for primary spectral parameters (e.g., mean energy and total emitted energy) of other neutrino species. Moreover, the correlation coefficients between different parameters are computed as well and interesting patterns are found. Especially, the mixing-induced correlations are sensitive to the neutrino mass hierarchy, which potentially makes it a brand new probe to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy in the detection of galactic supernova neutrinos. Finally, we discuss the origin of such correlation patterns and perspectives for further improvement on our results.

description: We study the interactions among phonons and the phonon lifetime in a pair-condensed Fermi gas in the BEC-BCS crossover in the collisionless regime. To compute the phonon-phonon coupling amplitudes we use a microscopic model based on a generalized BCS Ansatz including moving pairs, which allows for a systematic expansion around the mean field BCS approximation of the ground state. We show that the quantum hydrodynamic expression of the amplitudes obtained by Landau and Khalatnikov apply only on the energy shell, that is for resonant processes that conserve energy. The microscopic model yields the same excitation spectrum as the Random Phase Approximation, with a linear (phononic) start and a concavity at low wave number that changes from upwards to downwards in the BEC-BCS crossover. When the concavity of the dispersion relation is upwards at low wave number, the leading damping mechanism at low temperature is the Beliaev-Landau process 2 phonons $\leftrightarrow$ 1 phonon while, when the concavity is downwards, it is the Landau-Khalatnikov process 2 phonons $\leftrightarrow$ 2 phonons. In both cases, by rescaling the wave vectors to absorb the dependence on the interaction strength, we obtain a universal formula for the damping rate. This universal formula corrects and extends the original analytic results of Landau and Khalatnikov [ZhETF {\bf 19}, 637 (1949)] for the $2\leftrightarrow2$ processes in the downward concavity case. In the upward concavity case, for the Beliaev 1$\leftrightarrow$ 2 process for the unitary gas at zero temperature, we calculate the damping rate of an excitation with wave number $q$ including the first correction proportional to $q^7$ to the $q^5$ hydrodynamic prediction, which was never done before in a systematic way.

Publisher: name: Monash University

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In the Bayer process where aluminium oxide is extracted from bauxite, a solid residue is generated and accumulated in enormous quantities. A typical alumina refinery may produce 10,000 tonnes per day of dry solid waste, one-third to one-half of which is fine mud, known as red mud, and the remainder is sand-sized materials. The existing disposal method of pumping the residue to settling ponds in the form of a caustic slurry of 20 to 30 percent solids by weight, causes many inherent problems such as high pumping energy consumption, rapid wear in pipelines, inefficient use of available land, and environmental pollution. These problems can be substantially reduced if coarse sands are removed from the residue and the fine red mud is disposed of as a dense slurry at 50 to 60 weight percent solids. Since concentrated mineral suspensions usually exhibit non-Newtonian characteristics, detailed knowledge of the rheology of red mud is essential for design of the pipeline transport system and assessment of energy requirements.

description: This study builds on the biorefinery concept of converting waste biomass into chemicals and materials analogous to current petroleum refinery. Novel approaches using sustainable and energy efficient methods such as microwave heating and ultrasound treatment are explored for the conversion of biomass into useful chemicals, as compared to conventional methods which are harsher. In this study, chemical production yields comparable to the literature using greener and milder reaction conditions were demonstrated. Apart from the chemical reactions, the purification of the product chemicals and the conversion of biomass into useful materials were also studied, all in compliance with the biorefinery concept.

description: Mengapa Ka’bah bentuknya kotak ? Mengapa tidak bulat, tabung, trapesium atau lainnya ? Sepintas pertanyaan ini dianggap sebagai pertanyaan konyol. Namun pertanyaan ini sangat berarti untuk menegaskan prinsip aqidah tauhid sekaligus sebagai bantahan atas orang-orang yang menuduh kaum muslimin menyembah Ka’bah. Bentuk Ka’bah yang kotak merupakan jawaban yang paling sederhana namun memiliki kekuatan hujjah yang sangat kuat. Allah dan Rasul-Nya lebih sering menyebut al-Bait saja yang berarti rumah. Memang bentuk arsitekstur bangunan di Timur Tengah adalah kotak. Dalam sejarah peradaban umat manusia, tidak pernah dijumpai adanya agama atau kepercayaan yang mengajarkan menyembah rumah. Seandainya Ka’bah berbetuk bulat, tabung, trapesium atau sejenisnya, maka mirip dengan berbagai bentuk berhala.

description: Exact solutions for non-Hermitian quantum many-body systems are rare but may provide valuable insights into the interplay between Hermitian and non-Hermitian components. We report our investigation of a non-Hermitian variant of a p-wave Kitaev chain by introducing staggered imbalanced pair creation and annihilation terms. We find that there exists a fixed line in the phase diagram, at which the ground state remains unchanged in the presence of non-Hermitian term under the periodic boundary condition for a finite system. This allows the constancy of the topological index in the process of varying the balance strength at arbitrary rate, exhibiting the robustness of the topology for non-Hermitian Kitaev chain under time-dependent perturbations. The underlying mechanism is investigated through the equivalent quantum spin system obtained by the Jordan-Wigner transformation for infinite chain. In addition, the exact solution shows that a resonant non-Hermitian impurity can induce a pair of zero modes in the corresponding Majorana lattice, which asymptotically approach the edge modes in the thermodynamic limit, manifesting the bulk-boundary correspondence. Numerical simulation is performed for the quench dynamics for the systems with slight deviation from the fixed line to show the stability region in time. This work reveals the interplay between the pair creation and annihilation pairing processes.

description: The purpose of this study was to determine the mineral composition and anti nutritional factors, oxalate and phytate of yam and taro grown in Areka found at about 415Kms southern from Addis Ababa. In addition, the effect of boiling at different temperatures to the mineral compositions and anti nutritional factors together with respective molar ratios oxalate:Ca, phytate:Zn, Ca:phytate and [Ca]x[phytate]:Zn were analyzed. The mineral composition were found to be; 21.8-15.7, Ca;, 11.4-12.1, Na; 7.02 – 7.24, Mg; 6.47-14.14, Zn; 2.04-4.3, Fe;, 0.26-0.88, Mn;, 0.50-0.60, Cu; 0.57 – 0.82, Co; and 0.20-2.15, Ni in mg/100 g for the raw yam samples and 41- 53, Ca; 6.21 – 7.21, Na; 7.32-7.58, Mg; 42-50, Zn; 1.93-3.25, Fe; 1.71 – 5.88, Mn; 0.46 – 0.51, Cu; 0.65 – 0.95, Co; and 0.18 – 0.68 Ni in mg/100 g of raw taro samples. They all show decreasing by boiling except Fe and Ca in one variety of taro (accession No 235999) where they show a bit increment. The antinutritional factor to mineral ratio tends to imply that the relative bioavailability of the minerals after boiling was found to be increased except for that of Iron. These tubers may present health-hazard potential, which in turn demands proper processing before consumption to eliminate the toxic effects of antinutritional factors. Key words: mineral composition, antinutritional factors, oxalates, phytates, yam, taro, effect of boiling, molar ratios, bioavailability.

We consider closely related asymptotic series for Binet's function, for $\lnΓ(z+1/2)$, and for the Riemann-Siegel theta function, and make some historical remarks.

description: Patient education is a key element in the management of asthma. This study aimed to evaluate the popularity and usefulness of YouTube videos on asthma. Two authors screened and evaluated the 200 most popular videos. Data on likes, dislikes, views, comment, source of uploader, days since upload, and usefulness were recorded and included for analyses. The usefulness of the videos was categorized as follows: useful, misleading, or neutral. Misleading videos provided at least one scientifically incorrect detail, whereas useful videos contained scientifically correct information. A total of 130 videos were included, and the total number of views was 100,290,242 with a total duration of 29 h and 8 min. While 26.6% of videos were uploaded by TV shows and YouTube channels, only 7.7% were uploaded by lung specialists. 65.4% of the videos contained scientifically correct information, whereas 18.5% contained misleading information. Although videos from medical professionals had a higher quality than videos from YouTube channels and TV shows, the latter were more popular. Misleading videos had numerically, but not statistically significant higher views compared with useful videos. YouTube videos on asthma are popular in terms of viewer interaction, and the popularity is not restricted to videos uploaded by professional sources. Although more than half of the videos were found to be useful, a non-negligible proportion of videos were assessed as misleading. The usefulness of YouTube videos on asthma is variable and initiatives should be taken to increase the potential of YouTube as an useful source in patient education.

description: A la veille de la vingt-cinquième révision constitutionnelle, cette note propose un état des lieux des rapports entre le Parlement et l’évaluation. Alors que le renforcement de la fonction évaluative du Parlement est devenu un leitmotiv du discours politique, l’évaluation peine à s’institutionnaliser. Si la réforme constitutionnelle de 2008 a fait du Parlement un acteur à part entière de l’évaluation, celle-ci demeure néanmoins encore très embryonnaire. La note passe en revue les différentes initiatives parlementaires en matière d’évaluation menées depuis trente ans, avant d’envisager les enjeux politiques et démocratiques qu’elles recouvrent.
description:  At the dawn of the twenty-fifth constitutional reform, this paper proposes an analysis of the approach of the French Parliament to evaluation. While strengthening the evaluative function of Parliament has become a theme of political discourse, evaluation struggles to become institutionalized in the assemblies. If the constitutional reform of 2008 made the Parliament a full player in evaluation, it is still at an embryonic state in the assemblies. This paper reviews the various parliamentary initiatives in the field of evaluation conducted over the last thirty years, before considering the political and democratic issues they cover.

description: We consider the inequalities of Gagliardo-Nirenberg and Sobolev in R^d, formulated in terms of the Laplacian Delta and of the fractional powers D^n := (-Delta)^(n/2) with real n >= 0; we review known facts and present novel results in this area. After illustrating the equivalence between these two inequalities and the relations between the corresponding sharp constants and maximizers, we focus the attention on the L^2 case where, for all sufficiently regular f : R^d -> C, the norm || D^j f||_{L^r} is bounded in terms of || f ||_{L^2} and || D^n f ||_{L^2} for 1/r = 1/2 - (theta n - j)/d, and suitable values of j,n,theta (with j,n possibly noninteger). In the special cases theta = 1 and theta = j/n + d/2 n (i.e., r = + infinity), related to previous results of Lieb and Ilyin, the sharp constants and the maximizers can be found explicitly; we point out that the maximizers can be expressed in terms of hypergeometric, Fox and Meijer functions. For the general L^2 case, we present two kinds of upper bounds on the sharp constants: the first kind is suggested by the literature, the second one is an alternative proposal of ours, often more precise than the first one. We also derive two kinds of lower bounds. Combining all the available upper and lower bounds, the Gagliardo-Nirenberg and Sobolev sharp constants are confined to quite narrow intervals. Several examples are given.

description: Aquatic ecosystems are frequently overlooked as fungal habitats, although there is increasing evidence that their diversity and ecological importance are greater than previously considered. Aquatic fungi are critical and abundant components of nutrient cycling and food web dynamics, e.g., exerting top-down control on phytoplankton communities and forming symbioses with many marine microorganisms. However, their relevance for microphytobenthic communities is almost unexplored. In the light of global warming, polar regions face extreme changes in abiotic factors with a severe impact on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Therefore, this study aimed to describe, for the first time, fungal diversity in Antarctic benthic habitats along the salinity gradient and to determine the co-occurrence of fungal parasites with their algal hosts, which were dominated by benthic diatoms. Our results reveal that Ascomycota and Chytridiomycota are the most abundant fungal taxa in these habitats. We show that also in Antarctic waters, salinity has a major impact on shaping not just fungal but rather the whole eukaryotic community composition, with a diversity of aquatic fungi increasing as salinity decreases. Moreover, we determined correlations between putative fungal parasites and potential benthic diatom hosts, highlighting the need for further systematic analysis of fungal diversity along with studies on taxonomy and ecological roles of Chytridiomycota.

description: We prove the following proposition. Under linear interpolation on a Euclidean $n$-dimensional ball $B$, an interpolation projector whose nodes coincide with the vertices of a regular simplex inscribed into the boundary sphere has the minimum $C$-norm. This minimum norm $θ_n(B)$ is equal to $\max\{ψ(a_n),ψ(a_n+~1)\}$, where $ψ(t)=\dfrac{2\sqrt{n}}{n+1}\Bigl(t(n+1-t)\Bigr)^{1/2}+ \left|1-\dfrac{2t}{n+1}\right|$, $0\leq t\leq n+1$, and $a_n=\left\lfloor\dfrac{n+1}{2}-\dfrac{\sqrt{n+1}}{2}\right\rfloor$. For any $n$, $\sqrt{n}\leq θ_n(B)\leq \sqrt{n+1}.$ Moreover, $θ_n(B)$ $=$ $\sqrt{n}$ only for $n=1$ and $θ_n(B)=\sqrt{n+1}$ if and only if $\sqrt{n+1}$ is an integer.

description: In this paper, we study the problem of establishing the accountability and fairness of transparent machine learning models through monotonicity. Although there have been numerous studies on individual monotonicity, pairwise monotonicity is often overlooked in the existing literature. This paper studies transparent neural networks in the presence of three types of monotonicity: individual monotonicity, weak pairwise monotonicity, and strong pairwise monotonicity. As a means of achieving monotonicity while maintaining transparency, we propose the monotonic groves of neural additive models. As a result of empirical examples, we demonstrate that monotonicity is often violated in practice and that monotonic groves of neural additive models are transparent, accountable, and fair.

description: En la actualidad se mantiene la variable desempleo como uno de los problemas mas graves que afectan al país; de aquí la necesidad de crear estrategias de solución con el fin de com-batir dicho problema. En Colombia se han creado una serie de leyes que contribuyen a la creación de nuevas em-presas para cualquier sector de la economía y que ofrecen múltiples alternativas de desarro-llo para que los nuevos empresarios puedan dar un grano de arena en la economía nacional. Uno de los tipos de empresas que presentan varias modalidades son las cooperativas, que se diferencian entre si por la razón de desarrollo de sus actividades, como son las especializa-das, multiactivas e integrales. El proyecto se desarrollará en una cooperativa asociativa de carácter multiactivo, con pa-trimonio independiente y de responsabilidad limitada, con domicilio en la ciudad de Carta-gena, en la que su objeto social puede presentar diversos servicios bajo una misma entidad jurídica. Por tal motivo los directivos toman la iniciativa de crear opciones de negocio den-tro de los cuales surge la creación de una bolsa de empleo que contemple un portafolio de servicios integrado por los beneficiarios de los socios activos de la Asociación que se en-cuentren desempleados. La Cooperativa de la Asociación de Pensionados Civiles de la Armada Nacional de la ciu-dad de Cartagena, fue creada con el fin de realizar actividades productivas, para reinvertir las utilidades fruto de estas actividades productivas en la Cooperativa y en la Asociación de Pensionados Civiles de la Armada Nacional de la ciudad de Cartagena, puesto que ésta úl-tima solo puede recibir ingresos por aporte de los socios.

description: Let $X$ and $Y$ be proper metric spaces. We show that a coarsely $n$-to-$1$ map $f\colon X\to Y$ induces an $n$-to-$1$ map of Higson coronas. This viewpoint turns out to be successful in showing that the classical dimension raising theorems hold in large scale; that is, if $f \colon X\to Y$ is a coarsely $n$-to-$1$ map between proper metric spaces $X$ and $Y$ then $asdim(Y) \leq asdim(X) + n -1$. Furthermore we introduce coarsely open coarsely $n$-to-$1$ maps, which include the natural quotient maps via a finite group action, and prove that they preserve the asymptotic dimension.

The Phenomenon of Memory from a Sociological Standpoint: An Ontological Approach in the Light of Maurice Halbwachs’ Work
Creators: name: Cordeiro, Veridiana Domingos
Publisher: name: QuiEdit
Year: 2021

description: The article explores the main concepts and ontological status of memory within Social Sciences. Firstly, we highlight the main insights and contributions of Maurice Halbwachs’ theory of collective memory and, secondly, we draw the further developments by the Memory Studies. We point out some conceptual issues within these works regarding memory’s ontological status. Finally, we suggest a new avenue of interpretation for the phenomenon of memory from a sociological standpoint by (i) considering Cognitive Sciences contributions on the definition of “memory” and (ii) devising a proper social ontology for this kind of definition.

description: This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 23031 ``Frontiers of Information Access Experimentation for Research and Education'', which brought together 37 participants from 12 countries. The seminar addressed technology-enhanced information access (information retrieval, recommender systems, natural language processing) and specifically focused on developing more responsible experimental practices leading to more valid results, both for research as well as for scientific education. The seminar brought together experts from various sub-fields of information access, namely IR, RS, NLP, information science, and human-computer interaction to create a joint understanding of the problems and challenges presented by next generation information access systems, from both the research and the experimentation point of views, to discuss existing solutions and impediments, and to propose next steps to be pursued in the area in order to improve not also our research methods and findings but also the education of the new generation of researchers and developers. The seminar featured a series of long and short talks delivered by participants, who helped in setting a common ground and in letting emerge topics of interest to be explored as the main output of the seminar. This led to the definition of five groups which investigated challenges, opportunities, and next steps in the following areas: reality check, i.e. conducting real-world studies, human-machine-collaborative relevance judgment frameworks, overcoming methodological challenges in information retrieval and recommender systems through awareness and education, results-blind reviewing, and guidance for authors.

The offline digital currency puzzle solved by a local blockchain

description: A major drawback in deploying central bank digital currencies (CDBC) is the offline puzzle, which requires that a CBDC must keep the provision given by cash, and, simultaneously, avoid double-spending, counterfeiting, and other issues. The puzzle is solved by minting the coins in serials, which are stored on a local blockchain (e.g. smartphone). The local blockchain is secured by keys embedded in the hardware and can be continuously mined by the wallet to enhance security. The coins can be either minted as hot coins, which can be retrieved in case of loss, or minted as cold coins, like physical cash.

description: 1. Dispersal is a key life-history trait for most species and is essential to ensure connectivity and gene flow between populations and facilitate population viability in variable environments. Despite the increasing importance of range shifts due to global change, dispersal has proved difficult to quantify, limiting empirical understanding of this phenotypic trait and wider synthesis. 2. Here, we introduce a statistical framework to estimate standardised dispersal kernels from biased data. Based on this, we compare empirical dispersal kernels for European breeding birds considering age (average dispersal; natal, before first breeding; and breeding dispersal, between subsequent breeding attempts) and sex (females and males) and test whether different dispersal properties are phylogenetically conserved. 3. We standardised and analysed data from an extensive volunteer-based bird ring-recoveries database in Europe (EURING) by accounting for biases related to different censoring thresholds in reporting between countries and to migratory movements. Then, we fitted four widely used probability density functions in a Bayesian framework to compare and provide the best statistical descriptions of the different age and sex-specific dispersal kernels for each bird species. 4. The dispersal movements of the 234 European bird species analysed were statistically best explained by heavy-tailed kernels, meaning that while most individuals disperse over short distances, long-distance dispersal is a prevalent phenomenon in almost all bird species. The phylogenetic signal in both median and long dispersal distances estimated from the best-fitted kernel was low (Pagel's λ < 0.25), while it reached high values (Pagel's λ >0.7) when comparing dispersal distance estimates for fat-tailed dispersal kernels. As expected in birds, natal dispersal was on average 5 km greater than breeding dispersal, but sex-biased dispersal was not detected. 5. Our robust analytical framework allows sound use of widely available mark-recapture data in standardised dispersal estimates. We found strong evidence that long-distance dispersal is common among European breeding bird species and across life stages. The dispersal estimates offer a first guide to selecting appropriate dispersal kernels in range expansion studies and provide new avenues to improve our understanding of the mechanisms and rules underlying dispersal events.
