Carollia perspicillata

description: Carollia perspicillata (Linnaeus 1758)
 Distribution. Mexico to Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, southeastern Brazil and Guianas, Trinidad and Tobago, and maybe Grenada. The species occurs in almost all Brazil, but the states of Rio Grande do Norte, Sergipe, and Tocantins (Peracchi et al. 2006).
 Habitat. It is a common species that inhabits a large diversity of habitats, from moist evergreen to dry deciduous forests, and savanna, roosting in caves, hollow trees, tunnels, road culverts, rock crevices, and buildings (Cloutier & Thomas 1992; Emmons & Feer 1997; Reis et al. 2007). We captured this species in almost all habitat types sampled (14 o 30’ 25.4” S, 46 o 43’ 51.5” W in Alvorada do Norte, GO; 13°46’ 17.03” S, 46° 37’ 30.44” W in São Domingos, GO; and 12° 54’ 50.8” S, 47° 34’ 0.7” W in Paranã, TO).
 Voucher specimens. Three females – CHUNB 1209, 1281, and 1282; 16 males – CHUNB 1149, 1153, 1154, 1155, 1156, 1157, 1171, 1172, 1175, 1176, 1194, 1238, 1239, 1240, 1256, and 1286.

Response of Vertical Velocities in Extratropical Precipitation Extremes to Climate Change

Subjects: subject: Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics (physics.ao-ph)

description: Precipitation extremes intensify in most regions in climate-model projections. Changes in vertical velocities contribute to the changes in intensity of precipitation extremes but remain poorly understood. Here, we find that mid-tropospheric vertical velocities in extratropical precipitation extremes strengthen overall in simulations of 21st-century climate change. For each extreme event, we solve the quasi-geostrophic omega equation to decompose this strengthening into different physical contributions. We first consider a dry decomposition in which latent heating is treated as an external forcing of upward motion. Much of the positive contribution to upward motion from increased latent heating is offset by negative contributions from increases in dry static stability and changes in the horizontal length scale of vertical velocities. However, taking changes in latent heating as given is a limitation when the aim is to understand changes in precipitation, since latent heating and precipitation are closely linked. Therefore, we also perform a moist decomposition of the changes in vertical velocities in which latent heating is represented through a moist static stability. In the moist decomposition, changes in moist static stability play a key role and contributions from other factors such as changes in the depth of the upward motion increase in importance. While both dry and moist decompositions are self-consistent, the moist dynamical perspective has greater potential to give insights into the causes of the dynamical contributions to changes in precipitation extremes in different regions.

description: Intermediaries, like real estate agents, Consumer Reports, and Zagats, have long helped buyers to identify their most suitable options. Now, the combination of databases and the Internet enables them to serve consumers dramatically more effectively. This article begins by offering a three-part framework for understanding the evolving forms of selection assistance. It then focuses on numerous potential obstacles that could prevent shoppers from enjoying the full benefits of these developing technologies. While concluding that adjustments to business strategies and the enforcement of existing laws can effectively overcome most of these impediments, the article identifies several areas where proactive government action may be desirable, such as to prevent the emergence of anticompetitive entry barriers.

description: Talk by Jan Streeck: Socio-economic material stocks and their role in reducing resource use in the United States of America Socio-economic material stocks of infrastructure, buildings and machinery are the basis of production and consumption and an important determinant of current and future resource use. One of the largest consumers of materials worldwide are the United States of America (USA) with a substantial influence on global trends. To assess the role of stocks for long-term resource use in this affluent industrialized economy, we here present results of a study on economy-wide resource use, accumulation of material stocks and resulting end-of-life outflows from 1870 to 2017. Based on the dynamics of stocks and resulting end-of-life (EoL) outflows from stocks, we investigate waste management and circularity considerations and present two prospective scenarios until 2100 to highlight the long-term effect of material stock dynamics for future resource use. The 14th Biennial International Conference on EcoBalance conference is hosted by the Institute of Life Cycle Assessment, Japan. The theme of the conference is “Materializing Sustainability Visions: Fostering Partnerships with Life Cycle Thinking” and due to COVID-19 restrictions, it happens as a hybrid-online conference. https://www.ecobalanceconference.org/.

description: Artibeus obscurus (Schinz 1821)
 Distribution. Colombia, Venezuela, Guianas, Ecuador, Peru, and Brazil. Records for the Brazil are from the states of Acre, Amazonas, Amapá, Bahia, Ceará, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso, Pará, Paraíba, Paraná, Pernambuco, Piauí, Rio de Janeiro, Rondônia, Roraima, Santa Catarina, and São Paulo (Peracchi et al. 2006).
 Habitat. Inhabits almost exclusively moist environments as such rainforests, cloud forests, and semideciduous forests (Haynes & Lee 2004). This species was collected in all sampled localities (14 o 30’ 21.09” S, 46 o 45’ 29.37” W in Alvorada do Norte, GO; 13°46’ 15.1” S, 46° 37’ 29.2” W in São Domingos, GO; and 12° 54’ 50.8” S, 47° 34’ 0.7” W in Paranã, TO), always near to water sources.
 Comments. Similarities between A. obscurus and A. jamaicensis have raised taxonomic confusion due to the variation in morphology of the latter (Haynes & Lee 2004). Both species are very similar and have almost the same size, but A. jamaicensis is slightly larger and exhibits a more prominent rostrum.
 Voucher specimens. 12 females – CHUNB 1178, 1179, 1180, 1181, 1182, 1183, 1185, 1186, 1187, 1195, 1196, and 1214; four males – CHUNB 1184, 1189, 1235, and 1236.

The light is shown to couple strongly to the phase gradient of the condensate. The interaction between the light and the condensate enables us to perform a phase imprinting where the phase of the condensate is imprinted on the light. We illustrate the effect by showing how one can measure the fluctuating phase in an elongated quasicondensate.

description: This article discusses the impact of inventory inaccuracy on service-level quality in (Q,R) continuous review, lost-sales inventory models. A simulation model is built to study the behaviour of this kind of model exposed to an inaccuracy in inventory records as well as demand variability. We have observed an unusual result which goes against certain empirical practices in the SMEs that consist in hiking the inventory level proportionally to the data inaccuracy rate. A nonmonotone function shows that at the outset, the service-level quality is lowered as the inaccuracy rate increases but when the inaccuracy rate becomes much higher this quality is conversely enhanced. This relation can equally be observed given that stocktaking commences as soon as the threshold of decline in the service-level rate has been reached and when demand consequently dwindles. Finally, another noteworthy result also shows the same phenomenon between the function involving a level of safety stock defined by the simulation and the function between the service-level quality and the inventory inaccuracy. These different observed results are discussed in terms of both contribution to the (Q,R) inventory management policies in SMEs and of the limitations to this study.

description: About a third of the nonmetro population had income below the poverty level for at least 1 month in a recent 12-month period. Poverty, however, does not affect all nonmetro people equally. For example, 71 percent of nonmetro whites escaped poverty altogether, while 62 percent of nonmetro blacks lived in poverty at least 1 month. This look at short episodes of rural poverty helps point out gaps in welfare coverage. Current welfare programs are targeted at groups, such as single-parent households, that are more common among the 12-month poor. The programs are less likely to serve people who are poor for shorter periods of time.

description: This paper contributes to the research about the relationship between off-farm employment and public support, by taking the issue upside down: does off-farm employment give an advantage to farms regarding the level of public support? Our hypothesis is that a higher degree of decoupling enables part-time farms to capture more easily direct payments than full-time farms. To test this, we compare the largely decoupled direct payment system in Switzerland in 2004, and the rather production-oriented payment system in France in 2003. Results show that Switzerland’s policy favoured farmers with an off-farm employment, while the French direct payment system had the opposite effect.

description: Transfer learning has fundamentally changed the landscape of natural language processing (NLP) research. Many existing state-of-the-art models are first pre-trained on a large text corpus and then fine-tuned on downstream tasks. However, due to limited data resources from downstream tasks and the extremely large capacity of pre-trained models, aggressive fine-tuning often causes the adapted model to overfit the data of downstream tasks and forget the knowledge of the pre-trained model. To address the above issue in a more principled manner, we propose a new computational framework for robust and efficient fine-tuning for pre-trained language models. Specifically, our proposed framework contains two important ingredients: 1. Smoothness-inducing regularization, which effectively manages the capacity of the model; 2. Bregman proximal point optimization, which is a class of trust-region methods and can prevent knowledge forgetting. Our experiments demonstrate that our proposed method achieves the state-of-the-art performance on multiple NLP benchmarks.

description: Volatile molecules are critical to terrestrial planetary habitability, yet difficult to observe directly where planets form at the midplanes of protoplanetary disks. It is unclear whether the inner 1 AU of disks are volatile-poor or if this region is resupplied with ice-rich dust from colder disk regions. Dust traps at radial pressure maxima bounding disk gaps can cut off the inner disk from such volatile reservoirs. However, the trap retention efficiency and atomic composition of trapped dust have not been measured. We present a new technique to measure the absolute atomic abundances in gas accreting onto T Tauri stars and infer the bulk atomic composition and distribution of midplane solids retained in the disk around the young star TW Hya. We identify line emission from gas-phase material inside the dust sublimation rim of TW Hya. Gaussian decomposition of the strongest H Paschen lines isolates the inner disk hydrogen emission. We measure several key elemental abundances, relative to hydrogen, using a chemical photoionization model and infer dust retention in the disk. With a 1D transport model, we determine approximate radial locations and retention efficiencies of dust traps for different elements. Volatile and refractory elements are depleted from TW Hya's hot gas by factors of ~10^2 and up to 10^5, respectively. Dust traps beyond the CO and N2 snowline cumulatively sequester 96% of the total dust, while the trap at 2 AU retains 3% of the initial dust mass. The high depletions of Si, Mg, and Ca are explained by a third trap at 0.3 AU. TW Hya has a significant volatile reservoir rich in C- and N-ices in its outer ring structure. However, the lack of C resupply may leave the terrestrial planet-forming region dry and carbon-poor. Any planets that form within the silicate dust trap at 0.3 AU may resemble Earth in terms of the degree of their volatile depletion.

Surface Brightness Profiles and Structural Parameters for 53 Rich Stellar Clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud

description: We have compiled a pseudo-snapshot data set of two-colour observations from the Hubble Space Telescope archive for a sample of 53 rich LMC clusters with ages 10^6-10^10 yr. We present surface brightness profiles for the entire sample, and derive structural parameters for each cluster, including core radii, and luminosity and mass estimates. Because we expect the results presented here to form the basis for several further projects, we describe in detail the data reduction and surface brightness profile construction processes, and compare our results with those of previous ground-based studies. The surface brightness profiles show a large amount of detail, including irregularities in the profiles of young clusters (such as bumps, dips, and sharp shoulders), and evidence for both double clusters and post core-collapse (PCC) clusters. In particular we find power-law profiles in the inner regions of several candidate PCC clusters, with slopes of approximately -0.7, but showing considerable variation. We estimate that 20 +/- 7 % of the old cluster population of the LMC has entered PCC evolution, a similar fraction to that for the Galactic globular cluster system. In addition, we examine the profile of R136 in detail and show that it is probably not a PCC cluster. We also observe a trend in core radius with age that has been discovered and discussed in several previous publications by different authors. Our diagram has better resolution however, and appears to show a bifurcation at several hundred Myr. We argue that this observed relationship reflects true physical evolution in LMC clusters, with some experiencing small scale core expansion due to mass loss, and others large scale expansion due to some unidentified characteristic or physical process.

description: We study diffusion of particles on the surface of a sphere toward a partially reactive circular target with partly reversible binding kinetics. We solve the coupled diffusion-reaction equations and obtain the exact expressions for the time-dependent concentration of particles and the total diffusive flux. Explicit asymptotic formulas are derived in the small target limit. This study reveals the strong effects of reversible binding kinetics onto diffusion-mediated reactions that may be relevant for many biochemical reactions on cell membranes.

description: Prevalence of malnutrition among children is a major challenge in human development of India. It is also an important indicator of sustainable development, especially in the deprived areas like slums. The present study investigates the age and sex wise nutritional status of pre-school children of slum areas in Raiganj to understand the prevalence of malnutrition. A cross-sectional study has been carried out using primary data (n = 122) collected from selected slums. Height and weight of the children aged 2-5 years were measured and the body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Anthropometric indices of weight for age and height for age were used to estimate the nutritional status of the children. BMI thinness classification was also done. Stunting (HAZ) and underweight (WAZ) occurred in 55% and 33% respectively. HAZ and WAZ mean scores of the children were -1.74 (SD: 1.15) and -1.54 (SD: 0.70) respectively. Boys were more underweight (42%) than girls (20.8%) and similar pattern were observed in stunting where boys were again more stunted (59.4%) than girls (49.1%). Using the 2007 WHO BMI thinness classification, majority of the children exhibited grade 1 thinness (48.36%) which was predominantly at the ages of 4 and 5 years for both boys and girls. The gender wise, 43.48% boys and 54.72% girls fall within the grade 1 thinness category. Based on WHO standard, severe malnutrition occurred in 14.75% of the children. So, efforts should be made to reduce the malnutrition among the pre-school children of concerned slum areas. Holistic approach and awareness of local people is necessary to encounter this situation

The contribution of our study also stems from the development of skill-specific accessibility measures that take into account the spatial distribution of labor supply and demand. Our results show that physical distance and competition among searchers must be controlled for in order to understand the significant role of job access (measured in terms of travel time) in unemployment duration. Second, improvements in access raise the probability that persons living in urban fringes and rural areas will become employed. Third, for workers living in large urban centers, the relationship between location and unemployment duration is insignificant.

description: We have applied a novel scanned probe method to directly resolve the interior structure of a GaAs/AlGaAs two-dimensional electron system in a tunneling geometry. We find that the application of a perpendicular magnetic field can induce surprising density modulations that are not static as a function of the field. Near six and four filled Landau levels, stripe-like structures emerge with a characteristic wave length ~2 microns. Present theories do not account for ordered density modulations on this length scale.

description: This paper applies a five-step approach to the investigation of the relationship between public subsidies, namely CAP direct payments, and managerial efficiency for French COP and beef farms in 2000. Managerial efficiency scores are calculated using a four-step approach that allows disentangling managerial inefficiency from unfavourable external conditions. Then, in a fifth stage, managerial efficiency scores are regressed over a set of explanatory variables, including CAP direct payments. Using individual farm data and meteorological data at the municipality level, we show that there is a non negligible component of inefficiency that is due to unfavourable conditions, and there is a strong significant negative relationship between managerial efficiency and CAP direct payments.
Complete Spin and Valley Polarization by Total External Reflection from Potential Barriers in Bilayer Graphene and Monolayer Transition Metal Dichalcogenides

description: It is shown that potential barriers in bilayer graphene (BLG) and monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) can split a valley unpolarized incident current into reflected and transmitted currents with opposite valley polarization. Valley asymmetric transmission inevitably occurs because of the low symmetry of the total Hamiltonian and when total external reflection occurs the transmission is 100% valley polarized in BLG and 100% spin and valley polarized in TMDs, except for exponentially small corrections. By adjusting the potential, 100% polarization can be obtained regardless of the crystallographic orientation of the barrier. A valley polarizer can be realized by arranging for a collimated beam of carriers to be incident on a barrier within the range of angles for total external reflection. The transmission coefficients of barriers with a relative rotation of $\pmπ/3$ are related by symmetry. This allows two barriers to be used to demonstrate that the current is valley polarized. A soft-walled potential is used to model the barrier and the method used to find the transmission coefficients is explained. In the case of monolayer TMDs, a 4-band k.p Hamiltonian is used and the k.p parameters are obtained by fitting to ab-initio band structures.

Homogeneous and Isotropic Charge Densities to Accelerate the Universe

description: Various theoretical obstacles are associated with a homogeneous and isotropic distribution of ``charge'' which is subject to a repulsive, long-range force. We show how these can be overcome, for all practical purposes, by the simple device of endowing the particle which carries the force with a small mass. The resulting situation may be relevant to a phase of cosmological acceleration which is triggered by the approach to masslessness of such a force carrier.

Stopping Stigma: Behavioural Conditioning and Changes in Attitudes Toward Disease Employing Leprosy and HIV/AIDS as Case Studies

description: Why do we behave the way we do? Can behaviour be modified? This thesis explores these questions by looking at behavioural and neuropsychology and how we control two basic emotions: fear and disgust. As this thesis will demonstrate, these two emotions compel us to avoid danger and go to extreme lengths to keep "safe." Using leprosy as its first case study, it tracks the evolution of more positive attitudes towards people with leprosy. It explores what life was like in Western Europe's 11th to 13th centuries. It juxtaposes those positive attitudes against later negative attitudes. It examines the stigmatization of diseases and disabilities, asking what fear and disgust are and how they affect human behaviour. This sets the stage for discussing HIV/AIDS, compared to leprosy, to demonstrate similar behaviour. The focal point of attitudes towards leprosy and HIV/AIDS is behavioural conditioning, a technique for retraining the brain to reinterpret a stimulus to mean something else. This thesis argues that this method can reduce fear, disgust, and stigma in most attitudes and behaviours about diseases and disabilities.

description: After six years of secret negotiations the agreed text of the trade agreement between the European Union and Canada was released in September 2014. The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) must still be ratified by the respective legislatures. Agricultural trade was expected to be a contentious issue in the negotiations with both Canada and the EU having sensitive areas where liberalization would be difficult. In Canada, the domestic policy for dairy and poultry -supply management- requires support from high trade barriers. In the EU, some SPS barriers are non-negotiable- GMOs and the use of growth hormones in beef production. The eventual bargain leaves these trade inhibiting measures largely intact. Some liberalization was achieved in other areas such as recognition of EU geographical indications in Canada, reduced barriers to sales of EU wine, increased market access for EU cheeses and expansion in EU TRQs for wheat, hormone free beef and pork.

description: We present a deep, wide-field optical survey of the young stellar cluster Alpha Per, in which we have discovered a large population of candidate brown dwarfs. Subsequent infrared photometric follow-up shows that the majority of them are probable or possible members of the cluster, reaching to a minimum mass of 0.035 Msun. We have used this list of members to derive the luminosity and mass functions of the substellar population of the cluster (alpha=0.59+-0.05) and compared its slope to the value measure for the Pleiades. This comparison indicates that the two cluster mass functions are, indeed, very similar.
