title: Survey of Carnivore Species in Selected Thailand Reserves and Evidence for Competitive Exclusion by Larger Carnivores
Creators: name: Baker, Megan C.
Publisher: name: George Mason University

Subjects: subject: Carnivores
subject: Southeast Asia
subject: Thailand

description: Many species of carnivores occur within Thailand including representatives of the families Felidae, Canidae, Ursidae, Mustelidae, Viverridae and Herpestidae, but there is limited understanding of their natural history, ecology and distribution. Unfortunately many of these species are now threatened or endangered making conservation efforts an important focus in this region. Ecosystem conservation places importance on interactions within a community. Exploitation interactions (predator-prey) have been the focus of many studies within the past decades; however, little attention has been focused on interspecific competition among predators. The aim of this research is to understand interspecific competition among carnivore species that are found within Thailand’s protected area system through both in situ and ex situ data collection and analysis. Ex situ data collection used captive animals to observe possible interspecific competition interactions among tigers (Panthera tigris), leopards (Panthera pardus), and clouded xi leopards ( eofelis nebulosa) using sympatric species feces as a treatment and recording the animals behavior. Increased investigative behaviors were observed for conspecific treatments and similar sized sympatric species. Avoidance behaviors were observed to increase in similar sized sympatric species. In situ data collection used camera traps placed in four protected areas within Thailand. Presence-absence data were collected for all carnivore species detected and used in the program PRESENCE using a 2-species cooccurrence model to investigate interactions. Dyads when species do not overlap in weight were found to co-occur when prey for both species were detected (ϕ >1). When prey species were not detected there was evidence of avoidance by one or both species (ϕ <1). In dyads when the species overlapped in weight the species acted independently of each other when prey were not detected (ϕ =1) or co-occurred when prey were detected. Evidence for species interspecific competition was seen in both in situ and ex situ research techniques. This study’s focus on understanding interspecific competition among carnivore species in Southeast Asia brings us a step closer to providing better input into management decisions. We have evidence for cascading interactions among the three largest cat species in Southeast Asia and we know the impacts that prey species have on the occupancy and interactions of common carnivore species in the wild. These results can be built on and aid in the conservation and preservation of carnivore species in Southeast Asia.

Improved Query Reformulation for Concept Location using CodeRank and Document Structures

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Software Engineering (cs.SE)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: During software maintenance, developers usually deal with a significant number of software change requests. As a part of this, they often formulate an initial query from the request texts, and then attempt to map the concepts discussed in the request to relevant source code locations in the software system (a.k.a., concept location). Unfortunately, studies suggest that they often perform poorly in choosing the right search terms for a change task. In this paper, we propose a novel technique --ACER-- that takes an initial query, identifies appropriate search terms from the source code using a novel term weight --CodeRank, and then suggests effective reformulation to the initial query by exploiting the source document structures, query quality analysis and machine learning. Experiments with 1,675 baseline queries from eight subject systems report that our technique can improve 71% of the baseline queries which is highly promising. Comparison with five closely related existing techniques in query reformulation not only validates our empirical findings but also demonstrates the superiority of our technique.

description: We report on the 2016 outburst of the transient Galactic Black Hole candidate IGR J17091-3624 based on the observation campaign carried out with SWIFT and NuSTAR. The outburst profile, as observed with SWIFT-XRT, shows a typical `q'-shape in the Hardness Intensity Diagram (HID). Based on the spectral and temporal evolution of the different parameters, we are able to identify all the spectral states in the q-profile of HID and the Hardness-RMS diagram (HRD). Both XRT and NuSTAR observations show an evolution of low frequency Quasi periodic oscillations (QPOs) during the low hard and hard intermediate states of the outburst rising phase. We also find mHz QPOs along- with distinct coherent class variabilities (heartbeat oscillations) with different timescales, similar to the $ρ$-class (observed in GRS 1915+105). Phenomenological modelling of the broad-band XRT and NuSTAR spectra also reveals the evolution of high energy cut-off and presence of reflection from ionized material during the rising phase of the outburst. Further, we conduct the modelling of X-ray spectra of SWIFT and NuSTAR in 0.5 - 79 keV to understand the accretion flow dynamics based on two component flow model. From this modelling, we constrain the mass of the source to be in the range of 10.62 - 12.33 Msun with 90% confidence, which is consistent with earlier findings.

description: This thesis calls for the study of traditional peacebuilding in present day Rwanda. In particular, it addresses an existing need for further research on the impact of grass-roots initiatives spearheaded by citizens that are not the design of governments, NGOs, or religious groups. What little research has been done on traditional peacebuilding today takes these entities as the orchestrator and narrator of peaceful ideals, such as unity, forgiveness, and reconciliation. The focus is often on portraying these entities in either a favorable or critical manner, with discussion largely revolving around them and the identities they attempt to construct. Such research absolutely has its merits, however, there is also an equally strong need to place the person and society (not only government, NGOs, or religious institutions) at the center when studying concepts of identity. Human agency can not be overlooked in favor of political, civic, or religious discussion nor reduced to mere acts of accord or resistance. The complexity of how agency intertwines with these realms must be examined, as they constantly play off and influence one another. Concepts of identity are ultimately held by individuals and must not be lumped together as some static narration by influential entities. Such an examination must also be properly situated across history –not only within political and economic scapes but ever evolving and intersecting cultural spheres influenced by local, regional, and global factors that consider, among many other things, the environment, basic needs, human psychology, and the day to day lived realities of people and their perceived familial and cultural obligations. This thesis not only calls for the exploration of traditional peacebuilding and examination of concepts of identity, it makes the case for the relevance of such analysis by linking identity to relationships, relationships to peace, and peace to genocide prevention. Therefore, it is believed and hoped that the ideas put forth here be applied to assist in gauging whether or not a society is moving towards or away from peace.

description: We study deep inelastic scattering on isospin asymmetric nuclei. In particular, the difference of the nuclear structure functions and the Gottfried sum rule for the lightest mirror nuclei, 3He and 3H, are investigated. It is found that such systems can provide significant information on charge symmetry breaking and flavor asymmetry in the nuclear medium. Furthermore, we propose a new method to extract the neutron structure function from radioactive isotopes far from the line of stability. We also discuss the flavor asymmetry in the Drell-Yan process with isospin asymmetric nuclei.

description: This thesis examines areas of convergence between the principles and methods of community organizing practice and diplomatic negotiations through comparative textual analysis of the literature in both fields, interviews with diplomatic negotiators, and an online survey of community organizers. The data suggests shared theoretical principles and practical methods within the framework of a conflict resolution perspective, with emphasis on strategies, skills, and tactics. I conclude that successful diplomatic negotiation practice requires emphasis long-term relationship building and sustainable outcomes and community organizing achieves this through storytelling. Examining claims that current models of negotiation training are insufficient, I posit that community organizing training on storytelling may benefit negotiators. Further research is needed on the potential impact of community organizing training in narrative and storytelling with diplomatic negotiation training.

description: We present a spectroscopic analysis of main sequence (MS) stars in the young globular cluster NGC1818 (age~40 Myrs) in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Our photometric survey on Magellanic Clouds clusters has revealed that NGC1818, similarly to the other young objects with age 600 Myrs, displays not only an extended MS Turn-Off (eMSTO), as observed in intermediate-age clusters (age~1-2 Gyrs), but also a split MS. The most straightforward interpretation of the double MS is the presence of two stellar populations: a sequence of slowly-rotating stars lying on the blue-MS and a sequence of fast rotators, with rotation close to the breaking speed, defining a red-MS. We report the first direct spectroscopic measurements of projected rotational velocities vsini for the double MS, eMSTO and Be stars of a young cluster. The analysis of line profiles includes non-LTE effects, required for correctly deriving v sini values. Our results suggest that: (i) the mean rotation for blue- and red-MS stars is vsini=71\pm10 km/s (sigma=37 km/s) and vsini=202\pm23 km/s (sigma=91 km/s), respectively; (ii) eMSTO stars have different vsini, which are generally lower than those inferred for red-MS stars, and (iii) as expected, Be stars display the highest vsini values. This analyis supports the idea that distinct rotational velocities play an important role in the appearence of multiple stellar populations in the color-magnitude diagrams of young clusters, and poses new constraints to the current scenarios.

description: In this paper, we examine the superadditivity of convex roof coherence measures. We put forward a theorem on the superadditivity of convex roof coherence measures, which provides a sufficient condition to identify the convex roof coherence measures fulfilling the superadditivity. By applying the theorem to each of the known convex roof coherence measures, we prove that the coherence of formation and the coherence concurrence are superadditive, while the geometric measure of coherence, the convex roof coherence measure based on linear entropy, the convex roof coherence measure based on fidelity, and convex roof coherence measure based on $\frac{1}{2}$-entropy are non-superadditive.

description: The field of ecology is poised to take advantage of emerging technologies that facilitate the gathering, analyzing, and sharing of data, methods, and results. The concept of transparency at all stages of the research process, coupled with free and open access to data, code, and papers, constitutes “open science.” Despite the many benefits of an open approach to science, a number of barriers to entry exist that may prevent researchers from embracing openness in their own work. Here we describe several key shifts in mindset that underpin the transition to more open science. These shifts in mindset include thinking about data stewardship rather than data ownership, embracing transparency throughout the data life‐cycle and project duration, and accepting critique in public. Though foreign and perhaps frightening at first, these changes in thinking stand to benefit the field of ecology by fostering collegiality and broadening access to data and findings. We present an overview of tools and best practices that can enable these shifts in mindset at each stage of the research process, including tools to support data management planning and reproducible analyses, strategies for soliciting constructive feedback throughout the research process, and methods of broadening access to final research products.

description: High-quality excitation generators are crucial to the effectiveness of Coupled cluster Monte Carlo (CCMC) and full configuration interaction Quantum Monte Carlo (FCIQMC) calculations. The heat bath sampling of Holmes et al. [A. A. Holmes, H. J. Changlani, and C. J. Umrigar, J. Chem. Theory Comput. 12, 1561 (2016)] dramatically increases the efficiency of the spawn step of such algorithms but requires memory storage scaling quartically with system size which can be prohibitive for large systems. Alavi et al. [S. D. Smart, G. H. Booth, and A. Alavi, unpublished] then approximated these weights with weights based on Cauchy--Schwarz-like inequalities calculated on-the-fly. While reducing the memory cost, this algorithm scales linearly in system size computationally. We combine both these ideas with the single reference nature of many systems, and introduce a spawn-sampling algorithm that has low memory requirements (quadratic in basis set size) compared to the heat bath algorithm and only scales either independently of system size (CCMC) or linearly in the number of electrons (FCIQMC). On small water chains with localized orbitals, we show that it is equally efficient as the other excitation generators. As the system gets larger, it converges faster than the on-the-fly weight algorithm, while having a much more favourable memory scaling than the heat bath algorithm.

We use the plaquette and a renormalization group improved action for the gluons, and the Wilson and the SW-Clover action for quarks. We find that significant improvements in the hadron spectrum results from improving the quarks, while the gluon improvement is required for a rotationally invariant static potential. An ongoing effort towards exploring the chiral limit in full QCD is described.

subject: Higher education professionals

description: This thesis seeks to acknowledge and understand the professional identity of academic affairs professionals: the staff and administrative faculty who support the academic enterprise at colleges and universities from within academic departments. Grounded by literature pertaining to relevant proximal populations, including faculty, student affairs professionals, and mid-level administrations, this study employed a phenomenological approach and considered professional identity through the lens of social identity theory. Twenty-one self-identified academic affairs professionals employed by a large Mid-Atlantic university were interviewed, and the analysis of the interview transcripts suggests that there may be a common identity reflected by academic affairs professionals that is characterized by a hybrid, problem solving, and consultative nature that values service and relationships. However, this identity is not generally considered to be a collective identity in that it is not acknowledged within the population to be universally shared amongst academic affairs professionals. The premise that there may be common but not collective identity suggests that academic affairs professionals form a distinct group within the higher education landscape but could benefit from efforts to codify and organize the profession.

description: PANI films were deposited on glass substrates by in-situ polymerization and characterized by UV-VIS spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. A method is developed to accurately analyze ellipsometric data obtained for transparent glass substrates before and after modification with absorbing polymer films. Surface modification was made with an overlayer such as polyaniline ( PANI), which exhibits different optical properties by varying its oxidation state. First, the issue of using transparent substrates for ellipsometry studies was examined and then, spectroscopic ellipsometry was used to characterize absorbing overlayers on transparent glasses. The same methodologies of data analysis can be also applied to other absorbing films on transparent substrates, and deposited by different techniques.

description: This thesis compares cross-sectional geometric measures of femoral, tibial, humeral, and radial diaphyseal robusticity and compares humeral and radial bilateral asymmetry between three samples of native Alaskan hunter-gatherers with different subsistence strategies and resultant levels of terrestrial and aquatic mobility. Results of unilateral comparisons found significant differences in male and female femoral robusticity between samples, with far north coastal Alaskans demonstrating higher robusticity than inland and coastal groups. The same results were not found in tibial samples. Neither male or female humeri show significant differences in robusticity between site types. Contrastingly, coastal male radii demonstrate increased robusticity compared to other samples. Analyses of bilateral asymmetry found significant differences in robusticity among male humeral samples, with far north coastal populations exhibiting increased asymmetry compared to other samples. Results suggest that terrestrial mobility significantly impacts femoral robusticity, but that structural optimization or ecogeographical constraints may limit the adaptive capacity of the tibia. In contrast, specific muscle activation during riverine and coastal rowing may explain why radial, but not humeral, robusticity increases among populations with aquatic mobility. Finally, hunting style utilizing harpoons and spears likely explains the increased humeral asymmetry of far north coastal males relative to coastal and inland groups.

Close Examination of the Ground-State Casimir-Polder Interaction: Time-Ordered Versus Covariant Formalism and Radiative Corrections
Creators: name: Adhikari, C. M.

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, we compare, in detail, the derivation of the Casimir-Polder interaction using time-ordered perturbation theory, to the matching of the scattering amplitude using quantum electrodynamics. In the first case, a total of twelve time-ordered diagrams need to be considered, while in the second case, one encounters only two Feynman diagrams, namely, the ladder and crossed-ladder contributions. For ground-state interactions, we match the contribution of six of the time-ordered diagrams against the corresponding Feynman diagrams, showing the consistency of the two approaches. Second, we also examine the leading radiative correction to the long-range interaction, which is of relative order O(alpha^3). In doing so, we uncover logarithmic terms, in both the interatomic distance as well as the fine-structure constant, in higher-order corrections to the Casimir-Polder interaction.

Impact of Head Injury on Cognitive Functioning and Social Cognition in UK-based Female Rugby Players
Creators: name: Flynn, Ryan
Publisher: name: University of East London
Year: 2024
Subjects: women’s rugby
mild traumatic brain injury
social cognition
neurocognition

description: Introduction: 
Increasing attention is focused on the potential long-term impact of sports-related mild traumatic brain injuries (SRmTBI). Evidence suggests poorer cognitive and psychosocial outcomes in SRmTBI, including increased risk of developing certain neurodegenerative conditions. Research to date has focused on males neglecting female athletes, despite evidence suggesting sex-specific differences in frequency and recovery of SRmTBI.

Aims: 
To explore the association between SRmTBI and cognitive functioning with a specific focus on social cognition in female rugby players.

Method: 
A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed allowing for thirteen female rugby players with a history of SRmTBI to complete a neuropsychological battery of general cognitive functioning and social cognition.

Results: 
Weaknesses relative to normative data, were found for domains of social cognition including theory of mind and cognitive empathy, despite typical scores on domains of general cognitive functioning relative to normative data. Group level analysis confirmed poorer performance for theory of mind and cognitive empathy measures in contrast to overall performance on domains of general cognitive functioning.

Discussion: 
Findings from this preliminary study indicate that measures of social cognition should be incorporated into routine assessment and management of SRmTBI. Further research is needed to investigate the association between social cognition and SRmTBI.

Neutrino-Deuteron Scattering in Effective Field Theory at Next-to-Next-to Leading Order

description: We study the four channels associated with neutrino-deuteron breakup reactions at next-to-next to leading order in effective field theory. We find that the total cross-section is indeed converging for neutrino energies up to 20 MeV, and thus our calculations can provide constraints on theoretical uncertainties for the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory. We stress the importance of a direct experimental measurement to high precision in at least one channel, in order to fix an axial two-body counterterm.

description: Esta tesina es un estudio de los elementos marcadores de la identidad cultural del “Carnaval del Distrito Especial, Industrial y Portuario de Barranquilla”, designado “Obra Maestra del Patrimonio Oral e Inmaterial de la Humanidad” por UNESCO el 7 de noviembre del 2003. La existencia del carnaval en Barranquilla data de mediados del siglo XIX. Sin embargo, esta fiesta surge en departamentos aledaños, entre los siglos XVI y XVII, paralela a la evangelización católica de los españoles. Hoy día refleja la convergencia de culturas en la costa Caribe colombiana: la indígena, la europea, la africana y las de los inmigrantes de todo el mundo. El trabajo incluye las danzas como exponentes de sincretismo, la profanación de “textos sagrados” –en un sentido amplio de ambos conceptos– y la representación de la sexualidad en sus variadas manifestaciones carnavalescas: desde la parodia del discurso sacro en las llamadas “letanías” hasta las máscaras e identidades sincréticas de algunos de los personajes más emblemáticos del carnaval. También, es un análisis del rito simbólico, de la lucha entre la vida y la muerte, entre lo carnal y lo cuaresmal que, en el contexto de este antruejo, es evidente en varios elementos. Las teorías socio-culturales de Mikhail Bakhtin, de Julio Caro Baroja, y de Linda Hutcheon sobre la parodia, así como la teoría “performance” sustentan la exégesis de las funciones más distintivas del Carnaval de Barranquilla.

description: Monsieur,

J’ai bien reçu les lignes que vous me fîtes l’honneur de m’écrire le 10 du courant & l’ai d’abord ordonné en Angleterre les livres que vous me commettiez pour M. Pontedera, en ayant copié le titre au pied de la lettre. D’abord qu’ils me pourront parvenir je vous aviserai afin que vous me puissiez dire comment les lui envoyer.
J’ai si longtemps attendu le senior Biaggio Caffiero et enfin parti par-deçà et hier le sieur Sola me fit avoir votre boîte ou petite caisse en question que j’ai fait emballer et marquer comme ci-contre et consigner au carrosse de ce soir. Elle pèse bien 36 livres poids subtiles ce qu’on vous serve de gouverne pour la faire retirer en temps et en bailler le port au mieux possible.

[fol. 295v] Mon antiquaire qui réside à Alep est le célèbre M. Alexandre Drummont consul d’Angleterre. Un des négociants de cette factorie-là est actuellement ici en son retour pour la patrie. Il m’a dit qu’il a été souvent des parties du consul dans ses excursions sur les bords de l’Euphrate et où il avait la patience de voir l’autre passer bien des journées à désigner tous les morceaux de vieilles masures et inscriptions qui se pouvaient déchiffrer, que pour satisfaire ses amis en Écosse il leur a régulièrement envoyé tous ses mémoires et que ceux-ci ont entrepris et travaillent à les faire imprimer en bon ordre. Si cela paraitra, j’ai déjà écrit à Londres qu’on m’en procurera un exemplaire et si la communication pourra vous en faire plaisir, je vous en communiquerai avec plaisir. Au reste, mon ami qui se nomme Mister Free pourra bientôt passer chez vous en faisant route pour l’Angleterre. Je pourrai bien [fol. 296] lui donner votre adresse pour vous faire une petite visite. Quand il pourra vous dire de bouche les curiosités qu’il aura pu observer en Asie, après 18 ans de demeure quoique pourtant ce n’est pas fort penchant et qu’il était trop occupé à son commerce.
Mon voisin l’abbé Zancconi vous remercie de votre bon souvenir et moi je suis parfaitement,

Monsieur,

Venise ce 26 janvier 1753

 Votre très humble et o. serv.

 G. A. Guyon

De M. le comte de Gyllenborgh. Il y a autant que vous que je n’ai eu de ses lettres. Nonobstant que je lui envoyai souvent des paquets.
Ni de ce drôle de Pagliavino de Rome. Ai-je jamais pu avoir la suite des marbres qu’il m’avait promise.

description: We present a parallel FFT algorithm for SIMD systems following the `Transpose Algorithm' approach. The method is based on the assignment of the data field onto a 1-dimensional ring of systolic cells. The systolic array can be universally mapped onto any parallel system. In particular for systems with next-neighbour connectivity our method has the potential to improve the efficiency of matrix transposition by use of hyper-systolic communication. We have realized a scalable parallel FFT on the APE100/Quadrics massively parallel computer, where our implementation is part of a 2-dimensional hydrodynamics code for turbulence studies. A possible generalization to 4-dimensional FFT is presented, having in mind QCD applications.
