description: Low average returns to producers have been a feature of the Australian wool sector, particularly over the last five years. Quality assurance (QA) has been considered by many in the industry as a possible way to improve prices through increasing the “customer’s” confidence in the product. Several QA schemes have emerged. Adoption has not been as widespread or as immediate as hoped. One of the incentives to adopt QA might be the expectation of a financial benefit. This paper presents the results of a survey into actual and anticipated costs and benefits of QA as perceived by adopting and non-adopting Australian wool growers and a statistical analysis of wool price differentials at auction that can be attributed to a QA mark.

description: CERN-LHC. Measurements of the structure of inclusive jets in proton-proton collisions at a centre of mass energy of 7 TeV. The data, collected during 2010, have an integrated luminosity of 35 pb-1 and are corrected for detector efficiency and resolution and in order to reduce pile-up effects the events are required to have a single primary vertex. Measurements are made using two jet algorithms, anti-kT jets with R=1.0 and Cambridge-Aachen jets with R=1.2, with distributions of jet mass, kT splitting scales and N-subjettiness variables being presented. See the text of the paper for more details of these variables.
Survival Strategies of the Independant Hog Farmer in an Industrializing Animal Agriculture Sector

Industrial Organization

description: The current movement in the hog sector on the Canadian prairies is toward industrialization - the growth of large scale, corporate business operations with contractual arrangements thatfacilitate some level of vertical and horizontal integration. Arguments are made that these corporate entities will rule supreme in the hog sector because of the economic advantages associated with them - negotiating strength that comes with high volume sales and purchases, stability associated with multiple profit centers, access to technical information and professional expertise, ability to attract skilled and motivated managers, prescription production systems, access to equity and debt capital, and the employment of sophisticated risk management practices. But the independent hog farmer is not dead and can set a strategy to survive nicely and thrive in the industrializing environment. Linkages are available with selling and purchasing agencies and the marketing advantages they provide. Information and professional expertise is available from public research and extension as well as independent private consultants. The independent stockman’s skills can be the envy of the corporate organizations. Proprietorships can use retained earnings as down payments for debt capital required for expansion. Owner-operators can be as productive as wage-earning employees.
This paper maps out a ten-step strategy for the independent hog farmer in an industrializing animal agriculture sector.

description: A major goal for the education of Agricultural Technologists at SLU, Sweden is to encourage the student to work in independently positions with agricultural management of agricultural operations or closely related activies. The concept and goal of the project is to simulate different decision and management situations in a fattening pig operation. The model is based on a Australian pig model and altered to fit Swedish conditions. The model is used in Animal Husbandry courses as a tool to integrate the different subjects of the course. The model is developed in Powersim®. The technical and pedagogical evaluation show that the model can describe some factors behind the result of a fattening pig operation. Working with CAL means, we think, that you never stop developing the CAL, but also that you integrate CAL more and more in the curriculum which means that it is only one educational tool amongst others.

Agricultural Accounting Standardization

Subjects: Agricultural Finance

description: The Canadian Farm Business Management Council (CFBMC) recognized a need for standardization of agricultural accounting practices. In response to this need CFBMC in conjunction with representatives from the accounting profession, farm management specialists, farm organizations, and lending agencies has been working on the development of model financial statement for major farm commodities. Presently, comparability of farms and bench marking performance factors is challenging because accountants use a wide variety of presentation styles. While professional accountants are bound by GAAP (Generally Agreed Accounting Principles) and the guidelines contained in the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants Handbook, statements are often qualified to the extent that historic cost information has been used for capital assets and estimated market values used for inventory items. The development of a series of model financial statements was prioritized with DAIRY being the first. It was chosen because it combined challenges which are inherent in a combination of the other sectors. The other model statements in order of anticipated publication are GRAINS & OILSEEDS; BEEF COW&BEEF FEEDER, POULTRY, SWINE, & HORTICULTURE. The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants has been contracted to publish and market the model statements cooperatively with the CFBMC.

Interfacing Planning, Accounting and Analysis Software: Providing Information for the Changing Structure of Agriculture
Creators: name: Klair, Kevin
Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 1997
Subjects: Research and Development/Tech Change/Emerging Technologies

description: The structure of agriculture is changing rapidly and the information producers need to manage their businesses is also changing accordingly. For years producers have used software such as FINPACK to develop annual cashflow plans and year-end financial analyses. Today’s producers demand much more frequent and detailed financial information including the ability to, 1) generate whole farm and enterprise financial analyses periodically throughout the year rather than just at year-end; 2) compare actual performance to the cashflow plan at regular intervals throughout the year; and 3) revise cash flow plans for the remainder of the year based on actual year-to-date performance.
The data requirements to generate these reports is significantly greater than most farm financial software currently require. This paper will discuss projects initiated to integrate existing financial planning, accounting and production management software programs into comprehensive management systems.

description: Afrixalus fulvovittatus (Cope, 1861)
Banded Spiny Reed Frog
Material: Two females, NGK-Nimba 0066, NGK-Nimba 0067 (Fig. 8F).
Comments: Afrixalus fulvovittatus can be easily recognized by its characteristic reddish-brown dorsal surface with three light longitudinal stripes joining on the tip of the snout. The delicate reddish-brown line in the middle of each light stripe distinguishes it from the similar looking A. vittiger (Pickersgill 2007). This nocturnal species prefers the heavily degraded habitats of the forest zone (Schiøtz 1967; Rödel and Glos 2019). In the Yéalé village, the species was found in rice paddies and grassy swamps (07°31.928’N, 008°25.401’W; 425 m asl). The SULs of two females were 19.8–21.0 mm, thus they were below the described size for A. fulvovittatus (Schiøtz 1967).

Hyperolius chlorosteus

description: Hyperolius chlorosteus (Boulenger, 1915)
Large Green Reed Frog
Material: Three males, NGK-Nimba 0075 (Fig. 8G), NGK-Nimba 0076 (Fig. 8H), NGK-Nimba 0088.
Comments: Hyperolius chlorosteus is common along streams in pristine forest from western Ivory Coast to Sierra Leone (Schiøtz 1967; Channing and Rödel 2019). In Ivory Coast, it was reported from the rainforest zone, i.e., the Taï National Park (e.g., Schiøtz 1967; Rödel et al. 2002), as well as from the edge of the forest zone in the Mount Sangbé National Park (Rödel 2003). Records from Mount Péko National Park (Rödel and Ernst 2003) and the Haute Dodo and Cavally forests (Rödel and Branch 2002) may no longer exist. Thus, our records of H. chlorosteus from Mounts Nimba, confirming the records by Schiøtz (1967), show that the species prevailed, at least here, through the past 50 years. The species was frequently recorded at night along streams in the primary forest. After a heavy rainfall, a vast number of males (N> 50) were heard calling from high up in tall trees along a torrent stream (07°34.652’N, 008°24.966’W; 716 m asl). Five males were captured, and their body sizes ranged from 33.2–37.0 mm. They showed some variation of their back coloration, however, within the range known for the species (compare Schiøtz 1967; Channing and Rödel 2019). We found one male in sympatry with L. macrotis in a degraded forest during the rainy season (07°31.932’N, 008°25.508’W; 387 m asl), perched up at approximately 1.80 m above the ground, close to a large stream. Most males, however, called from much higher sites.

description: Grundlegende philosophische Gedanken Nishida Kitarōs Der Begründer der Kyōto Schule, Nishida Kitarō (1870-1945), setzte sich sein Leben lang mit den Ähnlichkeiten und Unterschieden auseinander, welche sich aus der Konfrontation des japanischen bzw. ostasiatischen traditionellen Gedankenguts mit jenem der europäischen Geisteswissenschaft ergaben. Er selbst verstand sich als ein Forscher des Lebens, da ihm zufolge „die Wissenschaft letztlich für das Leben sei“. Sein Anliegen war die Realität des Lebens, also die eigene Konfrontation mit Leben und Tod sowie die unmittelbare Erfahrung mit Freud und Leid im Leben zu begreifen. Da das Leben seiner Ansicht als Einheit zu betrachten sei, wandte sich Nishida gegen eine künstliche Trennung von Theorie und Praxis wie auch von theoretischer Lebens- und Weltanschauung. Daher gipfelt seine Philosophie in einer philosophisch-religiösen Lebens- und Weltanschauung (vgl. sein Werk Bashoteki ronri to shūkyōteki sekaikan, Die Logik des Ortes und die religiöse Weltanschauung 1945). Nishidas philosophisches System suchte - wie bereits erwähnt - eine konkrete Auseinandersetzung traditionell japanisch-ostasiatischer Denkwelten mit westlich-europäischen. Diese Konfrontierung mit diversen Philosophietraditionen führte dazu, dass er ein eigenes System entwickelte, welches sowohl die Methode der westlichen Philosophie, u.a. die deutsche Phänomenologie, den deutschen Neukantianismus und den angloamerikanischen Pragmatismus berücksichtigte, als auch die ostasiatische Tradition, u.a. den japanischen Mahayana-Buddhismus und den Zen-Buddhismus miteinbezog. Diese im Grunde synkretistische und holistische Vorgehensweise, welche er bei dieser Begründung eines "neuen" Denksystems verwendet, beinhaltet die Anerkennung und Einbeziehung unterschiedlicher Denk- und damit Kulturtraditionen auf eine äußerst sensible Art und Weise, die bis heute eine einmalige Errungenschaft darstellt. Er gilt daher als „der Begründer der modernen japanischen Philosophie“, da er eben eigene philosophische Konzepte entwickelte, welche in seinem Werk Zen no kenkyu, Über das Gute 1911 ausgeführt sind (vgl. Kitarō 1989: 9).

description: Partners are increasingly interested in developing a business plan for their operations, but at the same time, they are often reluctant, or unsure about how to formulate such a long-term vision. Planning is a multi-step process that requires farmers to describe what stage their business is at, where they want their business to go, what strategies they will use to reach those goals, and how they will keep their business on track Farmers understand that planning is an ongoing effort, and those who have done some planning indicate that there have been benefits even though they have not yet fully developed or implemented their plan. Farmers also indicate they are interested in receiving more information about business planning in the form of workshops, computer software, worksheets/guide sheets, and assistance from trained professionals.

description: X-ray diffraction experiments show that solid 4He grown in aerogel is highly polycrystalline, with a hcp crystal structure (as in bulk) and a crystallite size of approximately 100 nm. In contrast to the expectation that the highly disordered solid will have a large supersolid fraction, torsional oscillator measurements show a behavior that is strikingly similar to high purity crystals grown from the superfluid phase. The low temperature supersolid fraction is only ~3x10-4 and the onset temperature is ~ 100 mK.

Uniform Reed Frog
Material: One female, NGK-Nimba 0011 (Fig. 9A), and two males, NGK-Nimba 0012 (Fig. 9B), NGK-Nimba 0020.
Comments: Hyperolius concolor is one of the most common West African frogs, widespread in a range of habitats from savannahs and farmbush to degraded and gallery forests (Schiøtz 1967; Rödel 2000). It even has been reported from urban sites (Kouamé et al. 2015). Calling males were abundant in rice paddies and grasscovered edges of ponds (07°31.928’N, 008°25.401’W; 425 m asl). The species is dichromatic (Portik et al. 2019), with females exhibiting a uniform light yellowishgreen back with reddish toe discs (SUL: 32.0–33.0 mm, N = 2); males in contrast are brownish, often with some dark patterns between the eyes and on the back (SUL: 23.5–25.5 mm, N = 5).

We briefly discuss the traditional approaches that were developed to remove these patterns from science images, and mention their limitations. We then introduce a new method to globally estimate the fringe patterns in a collection of science images without additional external data, allowing for some variation of the patterns between images. We demonstrate this new method on near-infrared images taken by the CFHT wide-field imager Megacam.

Farm Management

description: Enterprise budgets are recognized farm management aids and are especially suitable in short term planning. It can be used for policy analyses and economic considerations of farming which are based on enterprise budgets. Among other, these budgets form the basis for calculation on the tailoring of research results, evaluation of schemes, development of projects and aid measures. The South African Department of Agriculture uses a mainframe computer programme to compile enterprise budgets. Access to mainframe computing is an unnecessarily cumbersome and the challenge was to develop a system adapted to meet the requirements of contemporary farm management. A tender for the programming of the micro-computer system was allocated to Q Data Consulting (Pty) Ltd. The system is currently under development at Elsenburg in the Western Cape, Department of Agriculture (South Africa). The completion date for programming is March 1997. The proposed programme will improve the existing mainframe programme through addressing specific limitations. The programme will be operational on a micro-computer and decentralized processing will be possible. Decentralized stations link electronically with a central station and it is possible to upload or download data into or from a certain station. There is provision for transferring data electronically from external systems. Data can also be obtained from sources such as group discussions with farmers and be entered in directly. Provision is also made for computer links to other programmes and systems, for example the comprehensive farm-planning model.
In addition to English and Afrikaans, it will be possible to generate budget reports in a third language most commonly used in a specific area. Reports that can be compiled and printed are:
• Gross margin and Nett margin above specified cost;
• Inputs supplement and Cashflow;
• Monthly machinery utilization per activity and Energy requirements per implement;
• Quantity budget and Parametric analysis;
• List of activities by period and Livestock information.
These budgets reports form the basis for planning. A standard methodology for compiling budgets are provided in order to increase their comparative value and usefulness. The new definition of the farming entrepreneur and the shift in focus to the disadvantaged fanning communities in South Africa would be addressed with this micro-computer budget programme. It will be equally suitable for compiling enterprise budgets for commercial and developing agriculture. The programme will facilitate improved decision making on provincial, national and international level.

They are uniquely characterized by four non-trivial parameters, namely the mass $m$, the charge $q$, the Kerr equal rotation parameter $a$, and the Godel parameter $j$. We calculate the conserved energy, angular momenta and charge for the solutions and show that they completely satisfy the first law of black hole thermodynamics. We also study the symmetry and separability of the Hamilton-Jacobi and the massive Klein-Gordon equations in these Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons-Godel black hole backgrounds.

subject: International Relations/Trade

description: Export marketing of agricultural products is a rapidly growing business area full of opportunities for farmers. Most farmers who decide to enter export marketing have no previous experience in exporting to foreign markets. Risks can be high but so can the rewards if the exporter avoids common pitfalls. The Canadian Farm Business Management Council (CFBMC) has sponsored development of a self-study resource to assist farmers in developing the necessary skills to enter export markets. Specific skills are identified and presented in a matrix form. In-depth case studies have been prepared which profile the skills within the matrix. . These case studies show the real life experiences of successful farm-based exporters and illustrate the skills needed for successful export marketing. This presentation will outline the specific skills needed for successful export marketing from a farm business perspective. Selected case studies will be reviewed to illustrate how the resource utilizes actual examples to demonstrate the skills required for success. The interest level in export marketing is very high among Canadian farm managers. The goal of the resource is to help prepare farm managers for success in export marketing by identifying the types of skills needed to succeed in export markets.

Comments: Hyperolius nimbae is a farmbush frog, endemic to the eastern foothills of Mounts Nimba (Schiøtz 1967). After 47 years, this species was only recently rediscovered by Kouamé et al. (2016), reporting small populations from four villages (Dagbonpleu, Danipleu, Kouan-Houlé, and Zéalé) within the formerly known range. An even more recent re-investigation in these villages failed to confirm the species, and its known habitats had been destroyed due to road expansions, development, and urbanization (Gongomin et al., unpub. data). However, during our study, we encountered a large number of H. nimbae males in the Yéalé village (07°31.928’N, 008°25.401’W; 425 m asl). The habitat was within a plantation of cocoa and coffee that edged a large and deep pond, which exceeded 100 x 70 m. There, we observed 15 males at night between broad leaved, evergreen trees of cocoa and coffee, while only one female was seen perched between the leaves of a palm tree. The males ranged from 30.0– 35.5 mm (N = 15), the female measured 34.1 mm. Males varied considerably in color and also showed some differences in pattern compared to the female. However, both sexes matched earlier descriptions by Schiøtz (1967).

description: Quantum computation based on nonadiabatic geometric phases has attracted a broad range of interests, due to its fast manipulation and inherent noise resistance. However, it is limited to some special evolution paths, and the gate-times are typically longer than conventional dynamical gates, resulting in weakening of robustness and more infidelities of the implemented geometric gates. Here, we propose a path-optimized scheme for geometric quantum computation on superconducting transmon qubits, where high-fidelity and robust universal nonadiabatic geometric gates can be implemented, based on conventional experimental setups. Specifically, we find that, by selecting appropriate evolution paths, the constructed geometric gates can be superior to their corresponding dynamical ones under different local errors. Numerical simulations show that the fidelities for single-qubit geometric Phase, $π/8$ and Hadamard gates can be obtained as $99.93\%$, $99.95\%$ and $99.95\%$, respectively. Remarkably, the fidelity for two-qubit control-phase gate can be as high as $99.87\%$. Therefore, our scheme provides a new perspective for geometric quantum computation, making it more promising in the application of large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computation.

description: We study the zero-temperature phase diagram of the 2D quantum $J_{1}^{XXZ}$--$J_{2}^{XXZ}$ spin-1/2 anisotropic Heisenberg model on the square lattice. In particular, the effects of the anisotropy $Δ$ on the $z$-aligned Néel and (collinear) stripe states, as well as on the $xy$-planar-aligned Néel and collinear stripe states, are examined. All four of these quasiclassical states are chosen in turn as model states on top of which we systematically include the quantum correlations using a coupled cluster method analysis carried out to very high orders. We find strong evidence for two {\it quantum triple points} (QTP's) at ($Δ^{c} = -0.10 \pm 0.15, J_{2}^{c}/J_{1} = 0.505 \pm 0.015$) and ($Δ^{c} = 2.05 \pm 0.15, J_{2}^{c}/J_{1} = 0.530 \pm 0.015$), between which an intermediate magnetically-disordered phase emerges to separate the quasiclassical Néel and stripe collinear phases. Above the upper QTP ($Δ\gtrsim 2.0$) we find a direct first-order phase transition between the Néel and stripe phases, exactly as for the classical case. The $z$-aligned and $xy$-planar-aligned phases meet precisely at $Δ= 1$, also as for the classical case. For all values of the anisotropy parameter between those of the two QTP's there exists a narrow range of values of $J_{2}/J_{1}$, $α^{c_1}(Δ)

title: The Impact and Cost-Effectiveness of Cervical Screening Strategies in Portugal

description: Despite having a similar healthcare system, Portugal has almost 50% higher cervical cancer incidence than the United Kingdom and twice that of its neighbouring country Spain. This disparity is particularly noteworthy in the European context, where countries who have invested in organised screening have seen significant reductions of the burden of cervical cancer and have started the transition to a molecular-based assessment of risk for progression to cancer enabled by technologies like HPV testing. The overall aim of this thesis was to evaluate the clinical impact and cost-effectiveness of alternative cervical screening strategies in Portugal. This was achieved by (i) identifying the key factors determining burden of cervical cancer in Portugal, (ii) reviewing the literature on model-based evaluations of cervical screening, (iii) parameterising, adapting, and calibrating an existing mathematical model of HPV infection and progression to cervical cancer to Portuguese sexual behaviour, HPV prevalence and cervical cancer incidence, and (iv) evaluating the clinical impact and cost-effectiveness of alternative screening protocols. The first analysis found that cervical cancer incidence and mortality in Portugal would likely have declined more sharply had screening been organised, based on a comparison on burden and risk factors for cervical cancer in England. The review of the literature on modelling cervical screening showed that model calibration to country-specific data is not standard practice yet and that there was only one cost-effectiveness analysis concerning Portugal, which did not investigate the utility of the currently relevant technologies. In the analysis of the impact of alternative screening protocols, our mathematical model predicts that primary HPV DNA screening as part of an organised programme is likely more effective than cytology-based strategies preventing cervical cancer cases. The economic evaluation showed that HPV primary screening with extended interval may be cost-effective but this is highly dependent on the unit cost of HPV DNA testing relative to cytology.

description: The determination of the mass, composition, and geometry of matter outflows in black hole-neutron star and neutron star-neutron star binaries is crucial to current efforts to model kilonovae, and to understand the role of neutron star merger in r-process nucleosynthesis. In this manuscript, we review the simple criteria currently used in merger simulations to determine whether matter is unbound and what the asymptotic velocity of ejected material will be. We then show that properly accounting for both heating and cooling during r-process nucleosynthesis is important to accurately predict the mass and kinetic energy of the outflows. These processes are also likely to be crucial to predict the fallback timescale of any bound ejecta. We derive a model for the asymptotic veloicity of unbound matter and binding energy of bound matter that accounts for both of these effects and that can easily be implemented in merger simulations. We show, however, that the detailed velocity distribution and geometry of the outflows can currently only be captured by full 3D fluid simulations of the outflows, as non-local effect ignored by the simple criteria used in merger simulations cannot be safely neglected when modeling these effects. Finally, we propose the introduction of simple source terms in the fluid equations to approximately account for heating/cooling from r-process nucleosynthesis in future seconds-long 3D simulations of merger remnants, without the explicit inclusion of out-of-nuclear statistical equilibrium reactions in the simulations.

Painted Reed Frog
Material: One female, NGK-Nimba 0104 (Fig. 10A), and one male, NGK-Nimba 0105 (Fig. 10B).
Comments: Hyperolius picturatus inhabits farmland and forest areas in various state of degradation, from central Ghana to Sierra Leone (Schiøtz 1967; Rödel 2000; Channing and Rödel 2019). We found the species in an agricultural area of the Yéalé village. The basic dorsal color of males (28.0‒ 31.5 mm, N = 4) was brownish with two light, broad dorsolateral stripes, while the venter, including gular glands, was entirely yellow. A female (35.5 mm) had yellow, broad dorsolateral stripes with some small yellow spots on its black chin. Its venter likewise was bright yellow. This widespread taxon shows some color variation across its range and may comprise two species (Schiøtz 1967; Rödel and Branch 2002; Rödel and Glos 2019).

description: The MUon RAdiography of VESuvius (MURAVES) project aims at the study of the summital cone of Mt. Vesuvius, an active volcano near Naples (Italy), by measuring its density profile through muon flux attenuation. Its data, combined with those from gravimetric and seismic measurement campaigns, will be used for better defining the volcanic plug at the bottom of the crater. We report on the development of an end-to-end simulation framework, in order to perform accurate investigations of the effects of the experimental constraints and to compare simulations, under various model hypotheses, with the actual observations. The detector simulation setup is developed using GEANT4 and a study of cosmic particle generators has been conducted to identify the most suitable one for our simulation framework. To mimic the real data, GEANT4 raw hits are converted to clusters through a simulated digitization: energy deposits are first summed per scintillator bar, and then converted to number of photoelectrons with a data-driven procedure. This is followed by the same clustering algorithm and same tracking code as in real data. We also report on the study of muon transport through rock using PUMAS and GEANT4. In this paper we elaborate on the rationale for our technical choices, including trade-off between speed and accuracy. The developments reported here are of general interest in muon radiography and can be applied in similar cases.
title: An Evaluation of the Implementation of Routine Vaccination at GP Practice Level in England
Creators: name: Crocker-Buque, T
Publisher: name: London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine

description: Background: There have been multi-year reductions in childhood vaccination coverage in England, with persistent low coverage in adults and urban areas alongside long-standing inequalities. The programme has become significantly more complicated and the overarching health system underwent a substantial reform in 2013. However, there has never been an evaluation of how GP practices implement delivering vaccinations nor an assessment of what factors may affect coverage, including the associated costs. Therefore, the aim of this study is to undertake an evaluation of the implementation of routine vaccination at GP practices in England. Methods: Time-Driven Activity Based Costing was used to undertake a process evaluation and costing analysis, alongside semi-structured interviews to evaluate aspects of organisational sensemaking, in a geographically and demographically diverse set of GP practices. Results: Nine practices completed data collection and 52 staff participated in 26 interviews. Information relating to 372 vaccination appointments was captured using activity logs. Childhood vaccination mean appointment length was 15.9 minutes (range 9.0-22.0 mins) and 10.9 minutes for adults (range 6.8-14.1 mins). There is a high administrative component, comprising 59.7% total activity (48.4-67.0%). The mean cost of a childhood appointment was £18.20 (range £9.71-£25.97) and an adult appointment cost £14.05 (range £7.59-£20.88). Appointment length and total time was not related to coverage; whereas increasing capacity may improve coverage. Most practices exhibited either fragmented or minimal sensemaking, characterised by low levels of leadership sensegiving, which may limit the ability of larger practices to modify programme delivery to improve coverage. Conclusions: Reimbursement is likely to meet costs associated with the programme, however there is potential to improve the funding mechanism. Practices are isolated and lacking information on performance and support to make programme improvements. Greater strategic leadership at national and practice level and better coordination between professional groups could build on high levels of intrinsic motivation among staff to improve programme delivery.

Soror Reed Frog
Material: One female, NGK-Nimba 0125 (Fig. 10C), two males, NGK-Nimba 0126 (Fig. 10D), NGK-Nimba 0127.
Comments: We heard over a dozen H. soror males calling during the rainy season in a dense grassy swamp, edging forest (07°32.993’N, 008°24.753’W; 425 m asl).
However, only one female and two males were caught there. The species is sexually dimorphic. The female (25.1 mm SUL) had a light green back, with diffuse, minute, reddish-brown spots, red lateral markings, a red stripe from snout to tip of eye, bluish-grey iris, and toes and fingers, including webbing, were faintly red with green tips. Its ventral surface was transparent bluish green. In contrast, both males (SUL 19.1 and 21.1 mm) had a golden iris, a dark red canthal stripe, green dorsum with diffuse, minute, reddish-brown spots, light dorsolateral stripes, and green toes and fingers.
