description: Regionen werden von Menschen gemacht, sie sind Ausdruck unserer Lebensund Wirtschaftsweisen. Sie bilden die Grundlage für die Möglichkeiten, unser Leben zu gestalten und sie verkörpern das, was wir Heimat nennen. Doch was macht unsere Region und die Landschaft, in der wir leben, eigentlich aus? Diese Frage stellt sich das Projekt Regiobranding, ein Projekt über Regionen und innovative Entwicklung zwischen gestern und morgen. Gefragt sind innovative und nachhaltige Konzepte, die aufzeigen, wie Landschaftsqualitäten systematisch und glaubwürdig Teil des Images einer Region sein können. Regiobranding bezeichnet einen nachhaltigen regionalen Entwicklungsprozess der Kulturlandschaft. Dieser hat zum Ziel, ansprechende Bilder und Perspektiven herauszustellen, mit denen sich regionale Alleinstellungsmerkmale kommunizieren lassen. Das Besondere ist, dass dabei Perspektiven von innen nach außen entwickelt werden. Von innen heißt: Gemeinsam mit den Menschen vor Ort werden regionale Werte herausgearbeitet und als Bilder, Geschichten, Projekte mit Leben gefüllt. Nach außen heißt: Die so gestalteten, glaubhaften Bilder werden auch über die Regionsgrenzen hinaus kommuniziert und für die regionale Wertschöpfung genutzt. Das vorliegende Innovationskonzept stellt dabei den gesamten Innovationsprozess dar, ausgehend von einem nicht alltäglichen Blick auf die Entwicklung von Regionen und deren Kulturlandschaften. Es zeigt, wie unterschiedliche Wertschätzungen über das, was eine Region ausmacht, dargestellt werden können und wie die gemeinsame Wissensgenerierung in aktivierenden Beteiligungs- und Kommunikationsformaten funktioniert. Band 1 | Regiobranding im Überblick bildet den Auftakt für drei weitere Broschüren, die deutlich machen, dass Kulturlandschaften inhärenter Teil unseres Lebens sind, und Ausgangspunkt für eine regionale In-Wert-Setzung sein können.

Stridulation and its significance in the waterbug genus Cenocorixa
Creators: name: Jansson, Antti Risto Ilmari
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Stridulation in the waterbug genus Cenocorixa was studied in the field and experimentally in the laboratory. It was shown that both males and females stridulate. The stridulatory signals, analysed by use of a sound spectrograph, were shown to be species and sex specific, differing in temporal pattern of pulses, pulse rate, pulse structure, and signal length. It was shown that the annual rhythm of stridulation in both male and female is correlated with sexual maturity. Males will spontaneously stridulate when there is mature sperm in the testes, and this occurs in spring, early summer, and late fall. Females do not stridulate spontaneously, but can be induced to stridulate when they have chorionated eggs in the lateral oviducts, but no sperm in the receptaculum seminis; they are sexually mature only in the spring and early summer. Stridulation was shown to be important in behavior leading to successful copulation. Male stridulation functions as a calling signal facilitating pair-formation by attracting conspecific females, and as an agonistic signal serving to space out individuals. Males will answer almost any stridulatory signal, but only calls from a conspecific female initiate searching behavior. Receptive females respond to stridulatory stimuli from conspecific males by stridulating, and successful copulations were observed only when preceded by such signal recognition; female stridulation functions as an agreement signal. Stridulation serves as a premating isolating mechanism in Cenocorixa. However, it is not the only isolating mechanism, but is reinforced by geographic and ecological isolation in a number of cases. The Corixidae, since they mostly have only a single stridulatory signal that can function in at least two contexts, are considered to represent a primitive stage in evolution of stridulatory signals: a stage in which functional diversification of signals is just evolving.

description: Aims. In this work we re-investigated the empirical relation between the hard X-ray peak flux and the outburst waiting time found previously in the black hole transient GX 339-4. We tested the relation using the observed hard X-ray peak flux of the 2007 outburst of GX 339-4, clarified issues about faint flares, and estimated the lower limit of hard X-ray peak flux for the next outburst. Methods. We included Swift/BAT data obtained in the past four years. Together with the CGRO/BATSE and RXTE/HEXTE light curves, the observations used in this work cover a period of 18 years. Results. The observation of the 2007 outburst confirms the empirical relation discovered before. This strengthens the apparent link between the mass in the accretion disk and the peak luminosity of the brightest hard state that the black hole transient can reach. We also show that faint flares with peak fluxes smaller than about 0.12 crab do not affect the empirical relation. We predict that the hard X-ray peak flux of the next outburst should be larger than 0.65 crab, which will make it at least the second brightest in the hard X-ray since 1991.

description: The transverse momentum dependence of elliptic flow of pions calculated in a full (3+1)d Boltzmann approach with an intermediate hydrodynamic stage for heavy ion reactions for CERN-SPS energies is discussed in the context of the experimental data. At higher SPS energies, where the pure transport calculation cannot account for the high elliptic flow values, the smaller mean free path in the hydrodynamic evolution leads to larger elliptic flow. Due to the more realistic initial conditions and the incorporated hadronic rescattering the results are in line with the experimental data. Within this integrated dynamical approach different equations of state are applied without adjusting the initial state and the freeze-out conditions. We employ a hadron gas equation of state to investigate the differences in the dynamics and viscosity effects, a chiral equation of state with a moderate first order phase transition and a critical endpoint and a bag model equation of state with a large latent heat. The elliptic flow results are shown to be rather insensitive to changes in the equation of state.

Still image compression by nonseparable wavelets on the quincunx lattice
Creators: name: Andrews, RJ
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The recent unification of wavelet and subband theories has allowed the creation of a new field of investigation for the efficient compression of digital images: wavelet compression. It has seen remarkable improvements in compression results over the previous generation of DCT-based image compression schemes. The focus of research in this field has, however, been almost exclusively in the separable domain, which uses one-dimensional transforms. The use of truly nonseparable wavelet transforms on two-dimensional image signals has been largely ignored. The purpose of this Thesis is to investigate more thoroughly this largely untouched field of wavelet-based image compression. In this Thesis we discuss in depth the techniques for using multidimensional wavelet transforms and subband coding for image compression and provide results for extending existing compression techniques to the quincunx domain. Various results covering a number of coding methodolgies are presented using the quincunx wavelet transform to demonstrate its advantages and disadvantages when compared to the separable decomposition method. Novel techniques are developed for the representation and storage of quincunx sampled images allowing in-place wavelet transforms to be performed in real-time. A novel extension to the Shapiro zero-tree compression method is developed which predicts and exploits, during coding, visually unimportant areas without the need for transmitting side-information. Results are presented which show that this process leads to significantly higher perceived image quality without increasing the bit-rate. Several advantageous psychovisual properties of the quincunx resampling lattice are exploited in the creation of various extensions to simple compression methods. Results isolating the effects of utilizing these properties are presented. We find that in general separable wavelet transforms perform better than their quincunx counterparts for bit-rate versus perceived quality of reconstruction, despite the quincunx resampling structure possessing inherent advantages over rectangular resampling. This is mainly attributed to the state of non-separable subband theory and filter design which has not progressed to a state where it is possible to achieve the same quality of filter design as exists in the one dimensional case.

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We analyze entanglement generation between a pair of neutral two level atoms that are initially excited in a common electromagnetic vacuum. The nonlocal correlations that appear due to the interaction with the field can become entanglement when the field state is known. We distinguish two different situations: in the first, the field remains in the vacuum state, and second two photons are present in the final state. In both cases we study the dependence of the entanglement with time and interatomic distance, at ranges related with locality issues.
Phase oscillators with global sinusoidal coupling evolve by Mobius group action

description: Systems of N identical phase oscillators with global sinusoidal coupling are known to display low-dimensional dynamics. Although this phenomenon was first observed about 20 years ago, its underlying cause has remained a puzzle. Here we expose the structure working behind the scenes of these systems, by proving that the governing equations are generated by the action of the Mobius group, a three-parameter subgroup of fractional linear transformations that map the unit disc to itself. When there are no auxiliary state variables, the group action partitions the N-dimensional state space into three-dimensional invariant manifolds (the group orbits). The N-3 constants of motion associated with this foliation are the N-3 functionally independent cross ratios of the oscillator phases. No further reduction is possible, in general; numerical experiments on models of Josephson junction arrays suggest that the invariant manifolds often contain three-dimensional regions of neutrally stable chaos.

Kinematic and Excitation Structure of the NGC 1068 Narrow-Line Region

Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: We investigated the kinematic and excitation structure of the NGC 1068 narrow-line region (NLR). We obtained profiles of several emission lines, [OIII]$λ$5007, H$β$, [OI]$λ$6300 and [FeVII]$λ$6087 at high-velocity resolution (R ~ 7500 - 11000), and confirmed that they showed different profiles. These profiles are useful for understanding the NLR structure, as they cover a wide ionization potential range. By comparing the results with a photoionization model, we found that 1) blueshifted components at the center are very dense, 2) those in the northeast region have slightly lower densities than those in the center, and 3) ionization parameters of the blueshifted components increase with increasing velocity with respect to the systemic velocity. We investigated the NLR structure in NGC 1068 based on these results. We show that both the observed velocity dependence of the ionization parameter and the gradually increasing velocity field can be reproduced by varying the ionizing continuum attenuation, assuming a hollowed biconical geometry and varying the column densities of outflowing clouds.

Monopole Current and Unconventional Hall Response on Topological Insulator

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: We study theoretically the charged current above a topological insulator (TI) separated by a ferromagnetic insulating layer. An unconventional Hall response occurs in the conducting layer on top of the TI which approaches to a constant value independent of R for R<>l, where R is the separation between TI and conducting layer and l is the screening length. In the comoving frame, it can be interpreted as a monopole current attached to the TI surface. The same mechanism gives the Hall response and deflection of the electron beam injected to the surface of insulating ferromagnet. A realistic estimate of an order of magnitude shows that both effects give reasonably large signal experimentally accessible.

Strain hardening in bidisperse polymer glasses: Separating the roles of chain orientation and interchain entanglement

description: The effects of entanglement and chain orientation on strain hardening in glassy polymers are separated by examining mixtures of chains with different lengths. Simulations show that the orientation of a molecule of a given chain length is the same in monodisperse systems and bidisperse mixtures, even when entangled and unentangled chains are mixed. In addition, the stress in mixtures is equal to the weighted average of the stresses in monodisperse systems. These results indicate that chains contribute independently to strain hardening, that chain orientation is determined by local interactions with the surrounding glass, and that entanglements play at most an indirect role in strain hardening in the range of strains typically studied. We discuss these results in the context of recent microscopic theories.

Algorithm for estimating the medians of a weighted graph subject to side constraints, and an application to rural hospital locations in British Columbia
Creators: name: Whitaker, Roy Alexander
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Plant location as a centralized planning objective in which some agency has control over most of the system elements can be reduced, in many circumstances, to the problem of finding the medians of a weighted graph. This concept is feasible if it can be assumed that each location sought is constrained to a subset of p nodes on an n node network. This combinatorial programming problem can be formally stated as follows: if G is a weighted graph, [formula omitted] the weighted distance of node [symbol omitted] to node [symbol omitted], and Xp is any set of p nodes on G (x₁, x₂, •••,Xp), then the required set of p nodes Xp∗ on G is the p median of the graph if it satisfies the expression [formula omitted]. Although this objective can be explicitly optimized by branch bound algorithms, those developed to date can become computationally infeasible for some large scale problems. A fast method for estimating the medians of a weighted graph is given which will provide optimal or near optimal solutions on any type of network. The heuristic procedures adopted in this study can be generalized in terms of three basic steps; 1) partition the graph to obtain an initial feasible solution, 2) re-iterate over; step 1 to achieve a local minimum, and 3) perturb this convergence to test for a lower bound. The design of steps 1 and 3 are crucial to the success of the algorithmic method. Two procedures are given for the basic partitioning of the graph, one of which is a modification of a criterion originally developed by Singer (1968) . The other method introduces a node elimination recursion which appears, experimentally, to be the more efficient procedure for certain types of weighted networks. Efficient perturbation methods are developed for testing the lower bounds obtained. The basic model structure is modified by the introduction of heuristics for the constrained plant location problem under a wide variety of restrictions. Numerical procedures are suggested for restricting the search to a subset of m potential plant sites among all n nodes on the network. Heuristics are developed for forcing certain locations into solution, for placing upper bound constraints on plant sizes, and for restricting the maximum link distance over which a particular allocation might be made. Attention is given to the problem of estimating the joint minimization of plant and transportation cost functions over a network surface. For dynamic location-allocation systems an explicit dynamic programming formulation is developed for the optimal sequencing of plant locations over time subject, if necessary, to periodic variations in all cost functions and node weights. An application of the basic median algorithm to the problem of rural hospital locations in Southeast British Columbia is demonstrated, and computer codes are listed for all the specified models.

description: The only information available about an alleged source of entangled quantum states is the amount $S$ by which the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality is violated: nothing is known about the nature of the system or the measurements that are performed. We discuss how the quality of the source can be assessed in this black-box scenario, as compared to an ideal source that would produce maximally entangled states (more precisely, any state for which $S=2\sqrt{2}$). To this end, we introduce several inequivalent notions of fidelity, each one related to the use one can make of the source after having assessed it; and we derive quantitative bounds for each of them in terms of the violation $S$. We also derive a lower bound on the entanglement of the source as a function of $S$ only.

description: In this paper we report an experiment on the observation of the recoil-induced resonances (RIR) and electromagnetically induced absorption (EIA) of cold Rb87 atoms in diffuse light. The pump light of the RIR and the EIA comes from the diffuse light in an integrating sphere, which also serves the cooling light. The probe light beam is a weak laser split from the cooling laser in order to keep the cooling and probe lasers correlated. We measured the RIR and the EIA signal varying with the detuning of the diffuse laser light, and also measured the temperature of the cold atoms at the different detunings. The mechanism of RIR and EIA in the configuration with diffuse-light pumping and laser probing is discussed, and the difference of nonlinear spectra of cold atoms between in diffuse-light cooling system and in optical molasses as well as in a magneto-optical trap (MOT) are studied.

Ecology of the feral cat felis catus on Great Dog Island
Creators: name: Hayde, KA
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Aspects of the ecology of feral cats on Great Dog Island, Bass Strait, were investigated from May to September 1991. Population structure and dynamics, morphology and phenotypes, condition and gastro-intestinal parasites and diet were studied. A culled sample of 189 feral cats displayed a male: female ratio of 1:1 and indicated a pre-eradication density of at least 56.9 cats/km2‚Äö Juveniles and sub-adults made up 44.9% of the population. A breeding season was inferred by kitten age and by changes through time in the population structure. Approximate life expectancy was estimated to be 73-84 months for males and 85-96 months for females. Counting cementum annuli in the teeth was shown to be an effective method of age determination. The length and weight of male and female feral cats of Great Dog Island was comparable to that of feral cats found on the mainland Australian. However, a decline in the weight of females between autumn and winter suggested the occurrence of a seasonal nutritional stress. The relationship between age and length in adult males suggests that greater length offers an advantage to longevity. The presence of seven mutant pelagerelated genes, in addition to the wild type, indicated a comparatively high degree of genetic diversity within the feral cat population of Great Dog Island. The long hair allele is probably being selected against as juveniles suffer high mortality. The expression of the inhibitor allele is bias toward males. No significant relationships were found to occur between coat colour and weight or length. The analysis of gut contents showed that a total of 26 species were ingested: 2 bird, 1 mammal, 5 reptile and 18 arthropod species. The gut of 16 cats were either empty or contained only residual food stuffs. Most cats had soil and plant matter in the gut. There was no evidence of cannabalism and no human refuse was present. It is likely that some artht:opod prey were excavated. There was no advantage in age or body size in obtaining prey species. Generally, the coat skin and tooth condition of cats on Great Dog Island was very good. The nutritional condition (fat deposits) of cats suggested that cats were generally in good condition in autumn. Both males and females underwent a large decline in fat reserves from autumn to winter and reserves were further depleted as winter progressed. This resulted in the general nutiitional condition of the winter cats being poor. Gastro-intestinal parasites present were Taenia taeniaeformis, Toxocara cati and Cylicospirurafelineus . Parasite infestation was biase d toward females. Loss of condition did not generally result in increased susceptibility to parasite infestation. This was instead better explained as a response to diet and climate.

description: We study the effect of long range dipolar forces on the dynamics and morphology of domain walls in magnetic thin films by numerical simulations of the spin-1 random field Ising model. By studying the size distribution of avalanches of domain wall motion arising as a response to quasistatic external driving, we observe a cross-over from the case dominated by short range interactions to another universality class where the long range dipolar forces become important. This crossover is accompanied with a change of the domain wall morphology from a rough wall to walls with zigzag structure.

Morgania (Sphecodopsis) leonis Cockerell, 1933a: 382, holotype ♂ (type locality: Lion’s Head, Cape Town, South Africa) (NHML), examined.
Diagnosis
The male can be separated from that of all other species of the genus by the combination of the following characters: metasoma at least partially red (Fig. 85B); fore legs black with small reddish spots (Fig. 85A); head and mesosoma with black hair mixed with lighter hair (Fig. 85C–D); mesoscutum sparsely, finely and shallowly punctate, very shiny (Fig. 85D); gonostylus shorter than gonocoxa, narrow, pointed posteriorly and extremely bent inward, penis valves distinctly longer than gonostylus (Fig. 86D). The female of S. leonis was only briefly mentioned by Cockerell (1933a) but could not be located and, thus, was unavailable for study.
Eardley & Brothers (1997) synonymised S. leonis with S. semirufa but the morphological differences, in particular genitalia, clearly show that both are distinct taxa. Thus, the species status of S. leonis is restored.
Since only photos of the holotype were available, a formal description is not given here. However, the photos (Figs 85–86) together with the diagnosis are sufficient for an identification of the species.
Additional material examined
None.
Distribution
Only known from the type locality in Cape Town.

description: Deep photometry of crowded fields, such as Galactic Globular Clusters, is severely limited by the actual resolution of ground-based telescopes. On the other hand, the Hubble Space Telescope does not provide the near-infrared (NIR) filters needed to allow large color baselines. In this work we aim at demonstrating how ground based observations can reach the required resolution when using Multi-Conjugated Adaptive Optic (MCAO) devices in the NIR, such as the experimental infrared camera (MAD) available on the VLT. This is particularly important since these corrections are planned to be available on all ground--based telescopes in the near future. We do this by combining the infrared photometry obtained by MAD/VLT with ACS/HST optical photometry of our scientific target, the bulge globular cluster NGC 6388, in which we imaged two fields. In particular, we constructed color-magnitude diagrams with an extremely wide color baseline in order to investigate the presence of multiple stellar populations in this cluster. From the analysis of the external field, observed with better seeing conditions, we derived the deepest optical-NIR CMD of NGC 6388 to date. The high-precision photometry reveals that two distinct sub-giant branches are clearly present in this cluster. We also use the CMD from the central region to estimate the distance ((m-M)=15.33) and the reddening (E(B-V)=0.38) for this cluster. We estimate the age to be ~11.5+/- 1.5 Gyr. The large relative-age error reflects the bimodal distribution of the SGB stars. This study clearly demonstrates how MCAO correction in the NIR bands implemented on ground based telescopes can complement the high-resolution optical data from HST.

Density estimates and relative indices: the current status of macropod populations on Maria Island National Park
Creators: name: Ingram, Janeane
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: On Maria Island National Park (NP) Forester Kangaroo (Macropus giganteus), Bennett's Wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus rufogriseus) and Tasmanian Pademelon (Thylogale billardierii) were introduced due to a past management strategy. This policy has caused problems from overgrazing on the island due to seasonal increases in pasture levels, with resulting impacts on animal welfare. The effect of rainfall on population dynamics and resource availability is well documented, with macropods particularly affected due to rapid reproduction rates. Typically, lethal control methods have been used to control population abundance. Public awareness of animal welfare issues arising from control methods such as culling, has forced wildlife managers to re-evaluate their use. On Maria Island NP annual spotlight surveys have been conducted to estimate a population index for each species. Population estimates are then used to determine if a reduction cull is required, together with body condition of individual animals and pasture availability. Wildlife managers require reliable population estimates to make informed decisions. This study aims to improve our understanding of population monitoring by comparing spotlight surveys as population indices, with current line transect survey density estimates. In addition, historical cull, spotlight and rainfall data were combined into a model to predict future culling impacts. The model offers a unique opportunity to establish a management tool for use on any monitored macropod population that is harvested or culled annually. Monitoring indicated that line transect methods are effective for Forester Kangaroo and Bennett's Wallaby, with an improved survey design. Tasmanian Pademelon had the least probability of detection, but the highest encounter rate and population index from spotlight counts. Predictions from the growth model indicate culling annually with a moderate target level was the most efficient management scenario. Management intervention based on models using time series data and rainfall may prove to be the most important tool for population control of macropods in Australia.
On the brightness of the Thomson lamp. A prolegomenon to quantum recursion theory
Creators: name: Svozil, Karl
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Some physical aspects related to the limit operations of the Thomson lamp are discussed. Regardless of the formally unbounded and even infinite number of "steps" involved, the physical limit has an operational meaning in agreement with the Abel sums of infinite series. The formal analogies to accelerated (hyper-) computers and the recursion theoretic diagonal methods are discussed. As quantum information is not bound by the mutually exclusive states of classical bits, it allows a consistent representation of fixed point states of the diagonal operator. In an effort to reconstruct the self-contradictory feature of diagonalization, a generalized diagonal method allowing no quantum fixed points is proposed.

description: In this paper we generalize some of our results from, `A note on Farey fractions with odd denominators' to subsets of Farey fractions consisting of fractions with denominators not divisible by a given prime. We also investigate the joint distribution of numerators of differences of h-tuples of consecutive fractions in these sets.
The winter ecology of the feral cat, Felis catus (Linnaeus 1758), at Wedge Island, Tasmania
Creators: name: Jay, CLB
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The domestic or house cat Felis catus (Carnivora: Felidae) is usually believed to be derived from the African or Arabian wildcat Felis sylvestris lybica (Randi and Ragni 1991, Bradshaw 1992). Circumstantial evidence suggests that domestication began about 8000 BP in the eastern Mediterranean (Zeuner 1958, le Brunet al. 1987) and continued until 4000 BP in the Middle East and perhaps also in the valley of the Indus (Baldwin 1975, Ahmad et al. 1980). Paintings and sculptures of cats from the Eighteenth Dynasty confirm that cats were fully domesticated and living in close association with humans in Egypt by 3600 BP (Clutton-Brock 1981, Serpell 1988). Domestic cats spread slowly from Egypt, but occupied much of Europe prior to the spread of the Roman Empire (Waldren et al. 1984, Kitchener 1991). In the last 2000 years domestic cats have been transported actively on sailing vessels to most parts of the world (Lumpkin 1993), either for food, their ability to control ship-borne rodents or as pets (Dickman 1995).

description: Dataset for the manuscript entitled "Contrasting Roles of Threatened and Non-threatened Species in European Food Webs".
AimAssess the relevance of threatened and non-threatened species to local food web network structures across Europe.LocationEurope (extending eastward to include Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia west of the Urals).Time-periodWe derived our interactions from a metaweb of potential tetrapod interactions across Europe, using data spanning the past 50 years.Major taxa studiedTerrestrial tetrapods (birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles).MethodsWe used a dataset of local European potential food webs, obtained from Galiana et al. (2021). The local food webs were inferred to Europe by combining a species-level metaweb of trophic interactions of European tetrapods, the Tetra-EU 1.0 (Maiorano et al. 2020), with the distribution of these species (Maiorano et al. 2013).Next, we added information about the threat statuses across Europe and measured the importance of species through node-level network structural metrics, including in-degree (number of prey species), out-degree (number of predator species), trophic level, betweenness centrality (how often a species lies on the shortest paths between all other species), closeness centrality (how close to all other species is the focal species), and the integrated Value of Influence (a species' overall impact on a food web, combining both direct and indirect effects).ResultsWhile threatened species occasionally hold key roles in specific regions (e.g. the Iberian Peninsula), non-threatened species often demonstrate a higher Integrated Value of Influence and betweenness centrality, underscoring their significant contributions to network integrity.Main conclusionsWe highlight the importance of integrating threatened and non-threatened species into conservation strategies, recognising their complementary roles in maintaining food web stability at multiple spatial scales.

description: We describe the design and operation of a system for xenon liquefaction in which the condenser is separated from the liquid storage vessel. The condenser is cooled by a pulse tube cryocooler, while the vessel is cooled only by the liquid xenon itself. This arrangement facilitates liquid particle detector research by allowing easy access to the upper and lower flanges of the vessel. We find that an external xenon gas pump is useful for increasing the rate at which cooling power is delivered to the vessel, and we present measurements of the power and efficiency of the apparatus.

Identification of parameters in distributed parameter systems
Creators: name: Bordan, Norman Stephen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis deals with the identification of parameters in distributed parameter systems. Two sensitivity methods, namely; Meissinger's method and the method of structural sensitivity are extended to obtain the sensitivity coefficients of discretized distributed parameter systems. The method of Bingulac and Kokotovic is extended to identify parameters in the one and the two dimensional parabolic differential equations. CSMP (continuous system modeling programme) is used throughout to simulate the systems. Results for both sensitivity schemes are obtained, and it is found that although structural sensitivity is advantageous for parameter identification in ordinary differential equations, this is not the case for partial differential equations.
A statistical mechanical interpretation of instantaneous codes

description: In this paper we develop a statistical mechanical interpretation of the noiseless source coding scheme based on an absolutely optimal instantaneous code. The notions in statistical mechanics such as statistical mechanical entropy, temperature, and thermal equilibrium are translated into the context of noiseless source coding. Especially, it is discovered that the temperature 1 corresponds to the average codeword length of an instantaneous code in this statistical mechanical interpretation of noiseless source coding scheme. This correspondence is also verified by the investigation using box-counting dimension. Using the notion of temperature and statistical mechanical arguments, some information-theoretic relations can be derived in the manner which appeals to intuition.
