description: Waterbirds commonly undertake extensive movements in search of resources. While much is known about waterbird movements within temperate regions where resource distribution is seasonally predictable, less is understood about waterbird movements in tropical and subtropical environments where the temporal distribution of resource is less predictable. This knowledge is critical to understanding a species’ response to environmental and anthropogenic changes to natural habitats. Here, we investigated the movement behaviour of a tropical waterbird of northern Australia, the Magpie Goose (Anseranas semipalmata), seasonally utilising a recently developed mixed natural-anthropogenic landscape. Using satellite telemetry, we assessed the daily movements and space use of 18 individuals (4673 goose-days) to determine whether these individuals spent the year locally, migrated seasonally from further areas, or were transitory individuals from across northern Australia. Geese released from peri-urban and rural areas in the late dry season dispersed to both local (≤ 50 km) and distant (≤ 566 km) floodplain systems over the wet season. Tracked individuals returned to sites within the same floodplain systems in the wet season and within the same anthropogenic areas in the late dry season over consecutive years. Our results suggest that anthropogenic environments may provide predictable resources for Magpie Geese during a seasonal bottleneck of natural resources. We highlight the need to learn more about waterbird movement behaviour within tropical human-dominated landscapes to evaluate the likelihood that predictable resources could exacerbate human–wildlife conflicts, and the possible long-term effects on species population dynamics, behaviour and distribution.

description: Thought experiments based on simulation can be used to explain the impact of the chosen study design, statistical analysis strategy, or the sensitivity of results to fellow researchers. In this article, we demonstrate with two examples how to implement quantitative thought experiments in Stata. The first example uses a large-sample approach to study the impact on the estimated effect size of dichotomizing an exposure variable at different values. The second example uses simulations of datasets of realistic size to illustrate the necessity of using sampling fractions as inverse probability weights in statistical analysis for protection against bias in a complex sampling design. We also give a brief outline of the general steps needed for implementing quantitative thought experiments in Stata. We demonstrate how Stata provides programming facilities for conveniently implementing such thought experiments, with the advantage of saving researchers time, speculation, and debate as well as improving communication in interdisciplinary research groups.

description: I present a new Stata command, simsam, that uses simulation to determine the sample size required to achieve a given statistical power for any hypothesis test under any probability model that can be programmed in Stata. simsam returns the smallest sample size (or smallest multiple of 5, 10, or some other user-specified increment) so that the estimated power exceeds the target. The user controls the precision of the power estimate, and power is reported with a confidence interval. The sample size returned is reliable to the extent that if simsam is repeated, it will, nearly every time, give a sample size no more than one increment away.

description: Non-classical correlations in quantum optics as resources for quantum computation are important in the quest for highly-specialized quantum devices. The standard way to investigate such effects relies on either the characterization of the inherent features of sources and circuits or the study of the output radiation of a given optical setup. The latter approach demands an extensive description of the output fields, but often overlooks the dynamics of the sources. Conversely, the former discards most of the information about the single trajectories, which are observed in experimental measurements. In this work we provide a natural link between the two frameworks by exploiting the thermodynamics of quantum trajectories. This procedure enables investigation of the quantum properties of the photon fields from a generic source via the analysis of the fluctuations and correlations of time-integrated quantities associated with the photon counting of the emitted light.

description: AbstractMergers and acquisitions have continued to serve as a primaryfinancing tool undertaken by organizations to achieve corporate objectives.Despite the increased popularity of the mergers and acquisitions phenomenon,determining acceptable metrics for identifying successful mergers andacquisitions continue to pose challenges to investors, financial analysts andother stakeholders involved with mergers and acquisitions. Mergers andacquisitions activities have presented mixed outcomes to differentorganizations with high failure rates recorded in some and less-significantsuccesses reported in others. Consequently, understanding acceptable metricsfor determining a successful merger or acquisition becomes paramount giventhe challenges experienced by players in that industry. Therefore, a thoroughreview of the literature is made in this study to identify factors that improvethe chances of mergers and acquisitions success. The unique features ofsuccessful and unsuccessful mergers and acquisitions are itemized to providea premise for assessing and evaluating the essential characteristics that makemergers and acquisitions successful. The importance of due diligence, lowacquisition purchase premiums, and related business acquisitions in themergers and acquisitions process were fully explicated. Low acquisitionpurchase premiums, timing of mergers and acquisitions and related businessacquisitions were found to tremendously enhance the success of mergers andacquisitions.

description: Wave functions of bounded quantum systems with time-independent potentials, being almost periodic functions, cannot have time asymptotics as in classical chaos. However, bounded quantum systems with time-dependent interactions, as used in quantum control, may have continuous spectrum and the rate of growth of observables is an issue of both theoretical and practical concern. Rates of growth in quantum mechanics are discussed by constructing quantities with the same physical meaning as those involved in the classical Lyapunov exponent. A generalized notion of quantum sensitive dependence is introduced and the mathematical structure of the operator matrix elements that correspond to different types of growth is characterized.

description: 338. Morphomyia Rondani, 1862d: 47.
 CURRENT STATUS: Unjustified emendation of Morphomya Rondani, 1856; junior synonym of Stomina Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830. New synonymy.
FAMILY: TACHINIDAE.
 REMARKS: Name made available as an emendation by virtue of similar spelling changes in two or more names from “mya” to “myia” in the same work. Morphomya Rondani, 1856 is currently treated as a junior synonym of Stomina Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 [teste Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993: 391)].
 339. Mya Rondani, 1850c: 175.
 ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Mya versicolor Rondani, 1850; Chrysomya alia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830; Mya semidiaphana Rondani, 1850.
 TYPE SPECIES: Musca semidiaphana Rondani, 1850 [= Lucilia nubipennis Rondani, 1848], by subsequent designation (Pont, 1983: 108).
 CURRENT STATUS: Preoccupied by Linnaeus, 1758 (I.C.Z.N., 1957: 161 [Direction 72]); Röding, 1798; senior (but invalid) synonym of Hemilucilia Brauer, 1895 [teste this work].
FAMILY: CALLIPHORIDAE.
 REMARKS: Rondani (1856: 90) designated Musca vomitoria Linnaeus, 1758 as type species [which was followed by Schumann (1986: 17)], but this was not an originally included species, hence is not a valid fixation of the type species. Coquillett (1910: 571) designated Musca segmentaria (stated to be “the third species”) as the type. Rondani (1850c: 177) indicated that his third species (“ Mya Semidiaphana Mihi”) was near Musca segmentaria Fabricius (“para vicina alla Musca segmentaria del Fabricius”). However, as this is not enough to have Musca segmentaria as an originally included species, the designation by Coquillett (1910: 571) is not valid. Pont (1983) in his application to the ICZN Commission noted the absence of a previous valid type species fixation for Mya Rondani, 1850 and selected Musca semidiaphana Rondani, 1850 as the type species. Mya semidiaphana Rondani, 1850 was treated as a junior synonym of Musca segmentaria Fabricius, 1805 in Hemilucilia Brauer, 1895 (James, 1970). Thompson & Pont (1994) noted that Musca segmentaria Fabricius, 1805 is preoccupied by Musca segmentaria Panzer, 1804 and placed the former as an invalid senior synonym of the next available name, Lucilia nubipennis Rondani, 1848, which is followed here.

description: We use the moduli space approximation to study the time evolution of magnetically charged configurations in a theory with an SU(N+2) gauge symmetry spontaneously broken to U(1) x SU(N) x U(1). We focus on configurations containing two massive and N-1 massless monopoles. The latter do not appear as distinct objects, but instead coalesce into a cloud of non-Abelian field. We find that at large times the cloud and the massless particles are decoupled, with separately conserved energies. The interaction between them occurs through a scattering process in which the cloud, acting very much like a thin shell, contracts and eventually bounces off the cores of the massive monopoles. The strength of the interaction, as measured, e.g., by the amount of energy transfer, tends to be greatest if the shell is small at the time that it overlaps the massive cores. We also discuss the corresponding behavior for the case of the SU(3) multimonopole solutions studied by Dancer.

description: Does the process of training a neural network to solve a task tend to use all of the available weights even when the task could be solved with fewer weights? To address this question we study the effects of pruning fully connected, convolutional and residual models while varying their widths. We find that the proportion of weights that can be pruned without degrading performance is largely invariant to model size. Increasing the width of a model has little effect on the density of the pruned model relative to the increase in absolute size of the pruned network. In particular, we find substantial prunability across a large range of model sizes, where our biggest model is 50 times as wide as our smallest model. We explore three hypotheses that could explain these findings.

description: Local native species that decline in response to urbanisation are often classified as ‘urban avoiders’. Their decline drives the biotic homogenisation seen in cities but the characterisation of these species as urban avoiders may discourage efforts to conserve them in urban landscapes. We used gradient analysis and species distribution modelling to examine habitat availability and fragmentation along an entire urban-forest gradient for a representative urban avoider – the Eastern Yellow Robin (Eopsaltria australis). Gradient analysis had utility in quantifying threats for this species but species distribution modelling better highlighted conservation opportunities in the landscape. The amount of suitable habitat declined with increasing urbanisation whilst fragmentation increased. Towards the city centre, habitat clustered around major waterways. Riparian networks showed clear potential to facilitate the restoration of connectivity between urban and fringing habitat and we identify ‘missing links’ in this network – key opportunities for habitat restoration. Riparian vegetation escapes development, is the preferred habitat for many species, including humans, and can serve as the logical architecture on which to focus conservation efforts. Restoring habitat along riparian networks in cities can build comprehensive and fully connected biotic infrastructure that facilitates human-nature connections and conserves local native species diversity.

description: The output provided by most Stata commands is plain text not suitable to be presented or published. After the numerical and graphical outputs are obtained, the user has to copy them into a word processor to complete the editing process. Some Stata commands help you to obtain well-formatted output, especially tabulated results in LATEX or other formats, but they are not a complete solution nor are they friendly tools. Stata automatic report (Sar) is an easy-to-use macro for Microsoft Word for Windows that allows a powerful integration between Stata and Word. With Sar, the user can retrieve numerical results and graphs from Stata and automatically insert them into a well-formatted Word document, exploiting all the functions of Word. This process is managed by Word while Stata is executed in the background. Sar requires Stata commands and some specific Sar commands to be written in ordinary Word comments. Thus the report is well documented, and this can encourage the sharing of the workflow of data analysis and the reproducibility of the research. With Sar, the user can create an automatic report, that is, a Word document that can be automatically updated if data have changed. Sar works only on Windows systems.

description: In this paper we compute the time evolution of the elements (4He, 12C, 14N, 16O, 20Ne, 24Mg, 28Si, 32S, 40Ca and 56Fe) and of the supernova rates in the solar neighbourhood by means of a galactic chemical evolutionary code that includes in detail the evolution of both single and binary stars. Special attention is payed to the formation of black holes. Our main conclusions: in order to predict the galactic time evolution of the different types of supernovae, it is essential to compute in detail the evolution of the binary population, the observed time evolution of carbon is better reproduced by a galactic model where the effect is included of a significant fraction of intermediate mass binaries, massive binary mass exchange provides a possible solution for the production of primary nitrogen during the very early phases of galactic evolution, chemical evolutionary models with binaries or without binaries but with a detailed treatment of the SN Ia progenitors predict very similar age-metallicity relations and very similar G-dwarf distributions whereas the evolution of the yields as function of time of the elements 4He, 16O, 20Ne, 24Mg, 28Si, 32S and 40Ca differ by no more than a factor of two or three, the observed time evolution of oxygen is best reproduced when most of the oxygen produced during core helium burning in ALL massive stars serves to enrich the interstellar medium. This can be used as indirect evidence that (massive) black hole formation in single stars and binary components is always preceded by a supernova explosion.

description: Over 50% of the world’s human population lives in cities, and the rate of urbanisation continues to increase globally. Consequences of urbanisation, such as noise pollution and land use change, impact bird communities and movement dynamics. Furthermore, cities are fragmented and heterogeneous, so it is pertinent to assess how birds respond to urbanisation at different scales. We quantified avian community composition in relation to environmental variables at 1) a city scale across an urbanisation gradient, and 2) a smaller spatial scale, within urban forest fragments. In the gradient study, species richness was highest in the peri-urban zone and declined with urbanisation. Bird density peaked at a moderate level of urbanisation, with medium housing density. Native species were more likely to be recorded where there were more shrubs and trees, less noise pollution and fewer impermeable surfaces. Within urban forest fragments, bird communities were less likely to be dominated by a few introduced species, and had high native species richness relative to counts in the urban matrix. Increased native bird richness and abundance within fragments were primarily associated with less noise and lower neighbouring human density. Differences in bird composition between the urban matrix and urban fragments suggest the matrix can be improved to facilitate the dominance of native bird species by reducing noise and adding vegetation. Understanding how birds use urban environments not only allows us to measure changes as a result of urban intensification but also allows for management of cities to improve the status of urban bird communities.
Lower Limits on Soft Supersymmetry-Breaking Scalar Masses

description: Working in the context of the CMSSM, we argue that phenomenological constraints now require the universal soft supersymmetry-breaking scalar mass m_0 be non-zero at the input GUT scale. This conclusion is primarily imposed by the LEP lower limit on the Higgs mass and the requirement that the lightest supersymmetric particle not be charged. We find that m_0 > 0 for all tan beta if mu < 0, and m_0 = 0 may be allowed for mu > 0 only when tan beta sim 8 and one allows an uncertainty of 3+ GeV in the theoretical calculation of the Higgs mass. Upper limits on flavour-changing neutral interactions in the MSSM squark sector allow substantial violations of non-universality in the m_0 values, even if their magnitudes are comparable to the lower limit we find in the CMSSM. Also, we show that our lower limit on m_0 at the GUT scale in the CMSSM is compatible with the no-scale boundary condition m_0 = 0 at the Planck scale.

description: Although perfect copying of unknown quantum systems is forbidden by the laws of quantum mechanics, approximate cloning is possible. A natural way of realizing quantum cloning of photons is by stimulated emission. In this context the fundamental quantum limit to the quality of the clones is imposed by the unavoidable presence of spontaneous emission. In our experiment a single input photon stimulates the emission of additional photons from a source based on parametric down-conversion. This leads to the production of quantum clones with near optimal fidelity. We also demonstrate universality of the copying procedure by showing that the same fidelity is achieved for arbitrary input states.

I discuss these models, give estimation examples, and address some complications that arise when interaction effects are included.

description: We propose an extended BRST invariant Lagrangian quantization scheme of general gauge theories based on an explicit realization of the modified triplectic algebra that was announced in our previous investigation (hep-th/0104189). The algebra includes, besides the odd operators $V^a$ appearing in the triplectic formalism, also the odd operators $U^a$ introduced within modified triplectic quantization, both of which being anti-Hamiltonian vector fields. We show that some even supersymplectic structure defined on the space of fields and antifields provides the extended BRST path integral with a well-defined integration measure. All the known Lagrangian quantization schemes based on the extended BRST symmetry are obtained by specifying the (free) parameters of that method.

description: This study employs the bootstrap method to explore the evolution of the Chinese yuan. We use the following three random walks to characterize the evolution of the yuan: an IID-parameterized random walk, an ARCH(3)-parameterized random walk, and a GARCH(1,1)-parameterized random walk. To proceed, we use the bootstrap method to generate 10,000 artificial yuan series from each random walk and compute the return from the trading rule (i.e., moving average or trading range break) for each of the 10,000 artificial yuan series. Then, we construct a 95% percentile interval with these 10,000 returns to determine if the interval contains the return computed from the actual yuan series. Using daily exchange rate data from 22 July 2005 to 19 July 2019, our results show that, of the three random walks, the GARCH(1,1) random walk best portrays the yuan since the 2005 exchange rate system reform.

Without restricting to the class of functions $W^{1,n}_{0,{\rm rad}}(B)$, we should emphasize that the above inequalities fail in $W^{1,n}_{0,{\rm rad}}(B)$. Questions concerning the sharpness of the above inequalities as well as the existence of the optimal functions are also studied. To illustrate the finding, an application to a class of boundary value problems on balls is presented. This is the second part in a set of our works concerning functional inequalities in the supercritical regime.

description: Throughout the world, many parrot species have established wild populations outside their natural range through accidental escapes and deliberate releases from captivity. The Rainbow Lorikeet (Trichoglossus moluccanus), native to coastal northern and eastern continental Australia, has established viable populations in Western Australia and New Zealand from escaped or released pets and more recently have established in Tasmania. The Western Australian experience with introduced Rainbow Lorikeets, clearly shows that significant costs and impacts to agriculture, the environment and human amenities can be expected if this species is not controlled in the early stages of population increase, while in New Zealand, early intervention has proven successful in removing the species from the wild. This study examines sighting records of Rainbow Lorikeets in Tasmania which have gradually established over 20 years and we present a model to assist in determining likely population trajectories under various scenarios of control. Modelling indicates that the removal of 200 birds per year from each of the three Tasmanian sub-populations would decrease numbers to near-zero within 4.6 years. This demonstrates the opportunity to effectively control the Rainbow Lorikeet in Tasmania still exists and substantial damage to agriculture and impacts to conservation values can be avoided, resulting in significant cost savings to the Tasmanian community.

description: Government expenditures play key roles in the operation of all economies. It refers to expenses incurred by the government for the maintenance of itself and provision of public goods, services, and works needed to foster or promote economic growth and improve the welfare of people in the society. This study examined the effect of fiscal policy on real sector growth in Nigeria. Focusing on government capital expenditure and its effect on the growth of the agricultural sector in Nigeria. The study adopted the ex-post facto research design and regression analysis as methodology using ARDL. Descriptive statistics and graphs were also used to complement the regression result. The result from the study found that there is a significant and positive effect of government capital expenditure on the growth of the agricultural sector in Nigeria. The implication of the study is that fiscal policy through government capital expenditure will increase the agricultural sector growth and thereby increases its contributions to the growth of the economy. This means that when there is enough revenue, the government only spends more money on infrastructural development that can help the agriculture sectors to grow by having access to good road and electricity. The result is an indication that government capital spending in Nigeria has been able to spur the economic growth of Nigeria through agricultural sector output. Based on the findings, the study makes the following recommendations; Government of Nigeria should adhere strictly to the implementation of government spending so as to increase the level of real sector development in Nigeria which will have the capacity to stimulate economic growth and create employment.

description: Short wavelength visual sensitivity in birds is determined mostly by the type of photopigment present in the short-wavelength sensitive cone 1 (SWS1) which varies between clades and takes two main forms: the violet sensitive type (VS) and ultraviolet sensitive type (UVS). The common ancestor of passerines is thought to have been UVS, but there were at least 8 transitions between both types of visual sensitivity, even within species of the same family (Maluridae). The type of visual system a species has is a key parameter of avian visual models employed to describe chromatic visual perception and assess if colour differences are discernible by birds. Cardinalidae and Thraupidae together include more than 400 very diverse species that were model organisms in many bird colouration studies. However, visual sensitivity has been characterised for only one species of each of these families so far. Here, we obtained partial genetic sequences of the SWS1 opsin gene that determines the spectral sensitivity of the photopigment for a phylogenetically broad species sample of these families. All cardinals and tanagers studied here have SWS1 sequences corresponding with UVS sensitivity, suggesting that this character is conserved in these bird families despite their highly diverse range of plumage colours and habitat types.
Single qubit estimation from repeated unsharp measurements

description: When estimating an unknown single pure qubit state, the optimum fidelity is 2/3. As it is well known, the value 2/3 can be achieved in one step, by a single ideal measurement of the polarization along a random direction. I analyze the opposite strategy which is the long sequence of unsharp polarization measurements. The evolution of the qubit under the influence of repeated measurements is quite complicated in the general case. Fortunately, in a certain limit of very unsharp measurements the qubit will obey simple stochastic evolution equations known for long under the name of time-continuous measurement theory. I discuss how the outcomes of the very unsharp measurements will asymptotically contribute to our knowledge of the original qubit. It is reassuring that the fidelity will achieve the optimum 2/3 for long enough sequences of the unsharp measurements.

Astrometric Microlensing of Distant Sources due to the Stars in the Galaxy

description: We investigate properties of astrometric microlensing of distant sources (such as QSOs and radio galaxies) caused by stars in the Galaxy, mainly focusing on application to the VERA (VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry) project. Assuming typical parameters for the Galaxy disk and bulge, we show that the maximum optical depth for astrometric shift of 10 micro-arcsec level is 8.9x10^{-2} for QSO-disk lensing case and 3.8x10^{-2} for QSO-bulge lensing case. We also find that the maximum optical depth for QSO-disk lensing is larger by an order of magnitude than that for disk-disk or bulge-disk lensing case (assuming a typical source distance of 8 to 10 kpc). In addition to optical depth, we also calculate the event rate and find that the maximum event rate for QSO-disk lensing case is 1.2x10^{-2} event per year, which is about 30 times greater than that for disk-disk lensing case. This high event rate implies that if one monitors 10 QSOs behind the Galactic center region for 10 years, at least one astrometric microlensing event should be detected. Therefore, monitoring distant radio sources with VERA can be a new tool to study astrometric microlensing caused by stars in the Galaxy. We discuss the implications of astrometric microlensing for VERA by focusing on estimating the lens mass, and also present some possible candidates of radio sources toward which astrometric microlensing events should be searched for with VERA.

description: Major disasters challenge or exceed the capacity of the official emergency management sector to provide needed rescue services, support and relief. Emergency services in most jurisdictions do not have the surge capacity for unusual or extreme events without drawing on other jurisdictions or local people from outside the formal emergency management organisations. In such circumstances, those in the affected area need to organise themselves and make maximum use of local resources to cope with the immediate aftermath of impact. To find the required surge capacity, this suggests a whole of society response with the official system working with the capacities of people, commerce and organisations outside the emergency sector. An example is provided by the destruction of the northern Australian capital city of Darwin by Cyclone Tracy in December 1974. Informal volunteering and emergent leadership in Darwin and across Australia were critical to the immediate response and relief. Volunteering was widespread and worked well alongside official emergency management. With today’s information and communication technologies and a strong national resilience narrative, we would expect to do at least as well. However, governments now exercise much more control over civil society. We examine the implications for surge capacity and adaptability.

description: Herschend-Liu-Nakaoka introduced the notion of $n$-exangulated categories as higher dimensional analogues of extriangulated categories defined by Nakaoka-Palu. The class of $n$-exangulated categories contains $n$-exact categories and $(n+2)$-angulated categories as examples. In this article, we introduce a notion of Frobenius $n$-exangulated categories which are a generalization of Frobenius $n$-exact categories. We show that the stable category of a Frobenius $n$-exangulated category is an $(n+2)$-angulated category. As an application, this result generalizes the work by Jasso. We provide a class of $n$-exangulated categories which are neither $n$-exact categories nor $(n+2)$-angulated categories. Finally, we discuss an application of the main results and give some examples illustrating it.

description: This research proposal aims to analyze the capabilities of Machine Learning to reconstruct the input features of an aberrated wavefront transmitted through an optical fiber, in view of focal plane wavefront sensing applications in ground-based telescopes. Future astronomical instrumentation, in fact, is increasingly moving towards photonic waveguides to carry information and fulfill stringent requirements for data acquisition and sensing. Recent studies have provided insight into the generation of phase distortion on light propagation through fibers. Furthermore, Machne Learning based reconstruction methods, as applied to multimode and multicore fibers, have already demonstrated their potential in specialized medical fields. Building upon this knowledge, our objective is to study the feasibility of employing similar techniques for the development of astronomical instrumentation, thereby expanding the horizons of astrophotonics applications
