Year: 2014

description: Este artigo retrata uma etnografia sobre o lazer, a sexualidade e o fenômeno turístico nas cidades de São Paulo (SP) e Rio de Janeiro (RJ), os maiores centros urbanos e destinos de fluxo turístico no Brasil. De caráter interdisciplinar, a pesquisa recorre a observação participante para a realização de incursões no espaço on-line de interação de turistas e nos equipamentos de lazer e entretenimento próximos dos centros turísticos durante o ano de 2013, com o objetivo de identificar o perfil de homens que buscam encontros sexuais nos momentos de lazer de suas viagens, fora do circuito comercial do sexo. Dentre os resultados encontram-se homens de 20 a 65 anos que viajam sozinhos ou em pequenos grupos de amigos ou familiares por motivos diversos, entre os quais trabalho, compras ou férias. Nessas viagens, eles encontram situações de isolamento ou atividade individual que lhes permitem transpor a vigilância social cotidiana, oportunizando novas interações sociais e sexuais momentâneas nas práticas de lazer, experienciando prazeres sexuais como parte da viagem.

description: We present a detailed analysis together with exact numerical calculations on one-loop contributions to the branching ratio of the radiative decay of $μ$ and $τ$, namely $μ\to e γ$, $τ\to e γ$, and $τ\toμγ$ from supersymmetry without R parity, focusing on contributions involving bilinear couplings. A numerical study is performed to obtain explicit bounds on the parameters under the present experimental limit. We present, and use in the calculation, formulas for exact mass eigenstate effective couplings. In this sense, we present an exact analysis free from approximation for the first time. After comparing our results against the closest early analysis, we discovered a major difference in resulted constraints on some ${μ_i^*} {B_j}$ combinations. Constraints from neutrino masses on the parameters were considered. Our result indicates that the branching ratio measurement on $μ\to e γ$ down to $10^{-13}-10^{-14}$ and beyond, as targeted by the MEG experiment, has a chance of observing decay from the R-parity violating scenario.

title: Risk Factors and Bulimia outcomes in Adolescent Women: A Longitudinal and Retrospective Analysis
Creators: name: Barnett, Therese Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1996

description: The goal of the present study was to verify whether four purported risk factors predate the development of eating disorder symptoms, particularly bulimia nervosa. The four major purported risk factors for developing bulimia nervosa (and eating disorders in general) among female adolescents include: (a) over internalization of culture’s value of thinness in women, (b) inordinate dissatisfaction with body form, (c) depression, and (d) irrational beliefs and cognitions about thinness and the benefits of dieting. The present study involved a 5-year follow-up of adolescent girls initially identified as being either at high or low risk for developing an eating disorder, particularly bulimia nervosa. Subjects completed the risk factor inventories, and eating disorder diagnoses were based upon a structured Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders clinical interview.
Results indicated that: (a) two bulimic cases were found in the high-risk group, with an overall prevalence rate of 3.5% (2/57); (b) the total 6-month incidence rate (for any eating disorder) was 6.5% in the high-risk group, and 0.0% in the low-risk group; (c) younger at-risk girls tended to generally acknowledge more eating disorder symptoms; (d) z-score means of the low and high risk group are dramatically different at both Time #1 and 5 years later at Time l#2, with the high-risk group exhibiting more severe and quite stable symptomatology relative to the low-risk group; and (e) change in scores over time, in all four risk factor measures, was related to bulimia, binge-related symptoms, and overall (total) symptoms. The study confirmed the importance of these risk factors in the etiology of eating disorder symptoms, as well as the significance of tracking girls in early adolescence in longitudinal studies.

description: The cruise industry is responding to increasing demand for luxury travel by using more and larger luxurious cruise ships which are now arriving to main maritime ports and to a growing number of new terminals. So, it is important to understand if passengers are satisfied and if they intend to return. Therefore, a survey was conducted nearby the Port of Lisbon in order to capture the perception of international cruise tourists about satisfaction and intention to return. Data collected from a sample of 412 respondents was treated using multiple regression analysis. Findings highlight that it is important to assure that maritime ports as Lisbon can take advantage of these luxury supersized ships and, by consequence, tackle the tourists that arrive from any part of the world, almost every day to Portugal.

title: A Survey of Perceived Control and Domestic Environment Aspects of Early Adolescent Boys With and Without Identified Externalizing Behavior Problems
Creators: name: Mauk, Gary W.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1996

description: Two demographically congruous groups of early adolescent boys, one group with identified externalizing behavior problems (ESP) and one group enrolled in regular education (RED), were surveyed using anonymous self-report questionnaires that assessed academic, social, and general domains of perceived control and aspects of familial experiences. Data from EBP and RED boys' extant scholastic archival records were also collected. Also, using anonymous self-report questionnaires, the parents of EBP and RED boys were surveyed regarding their levels of satisfaction regarding aspects of parenting. This study found that EBP boys had statistically significantly lower reading, math, and language achievement scores and grade point averages than RED boys. The general ability level of EBP boys was more similar to, than different from, the RED boys. Regarding perceived control in the academic domain, EBP boys (a) perceived themselves as having substantially less general control over academic success than RED boys, (b) endorsed luck as an effective strategy for academic success more than RED students, and (c) reported statistically significantly greater influence of unknown sources of academic successes and failures than RED boys. Socially, EBP boys reported statistically significantly greater beliefs about unknown sources for social (peers, adults) interaction success and unknown sources for social (peers, adults) interaction failure than RED boys. In the general environment, EBP boys reported significantly greater beliefs about unknown sources for general failure in their daily lives and imputed adults (powerful others) in their environment with great power with respect to preventing them from engaging in general activities. No statistically significant differences were found between the EBP and RED boys on self-reported aspects of parental care, social control/protection, or personal control/protection. Regarding parents' self-reported levels of satisfaction, no statistically significant differences were found between parents of boys in the EBP group and parents of boys in the RED group for spouse/ex-spouse support nor parent performance. Mothers, but not fathers, of EBP boys reported a statistically significantly lower level of satisfaction with the parent-child relationship than mothers of RED boys.

description: This paper is devoted to the study of uniform $W^{1,\frac{np}{n-p}}$- and $W^{2,p}$-estimates for viscosity solutions to fully nonlinear, uniformly elliptic, periodic homogenization problems, up to boundaries, subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions. We characterize the size of "effective" Hessian and gradient of viscosity solutions to homogenization problems, and prove its uniform integrability without any regularity assumption on the governing functionals. Our estimates are new even for the standard problems. Our analysis applies to a large class of non-convex functionals.
Factors associated with interest in using genetic testing to identify predisposition for psychological and physical health conditions
Creators: name: Duggan, EI
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This study examines willingness to engage in genetic testing for predisposition of psychological disorders in contrast to physical health conditions. Further considered is interest genetic testing between conditions of proximal and distal onset. The Theory of Planned Behaviour was employed to investigate whether attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control were associated with the level of interest towards testing for physical and psychological conditions. A total of 178 participants aged 18 years and above (mean age = 32.6 years; female N = 149, male N = 25, other N = 4) completed an online survey of their attitudes towards health and genetic testing and indicated their level of interest in having a genetic test to identify predisposition to physical and psychological health conditions. Participants expressed greater interest towards testing for physical compared to psychological conditions. Greater interest in testing was also revealed for distal conditions compared to those with a typically earlier onset. Results from regression analyses provided partial support for the Theory of Planned Behaviour in accounting for interest in genetic testing for physical and psychological disorders, with attitudes towards genetic testing the greatest predictive factor in willingness towards genetic testing across all outcome measures

description: Hospitality industry is highly competitive and meeting customer needs and expectations is essential today for consumer loyalty and business sustainability. This paper aims to develop an analytical framework to assist a sample of four complexes of tourist apartments in identifying and setting improvement priorities on their direct quality-based strategies. A synthetic service quality indicator adjusted by resources (SQIabr) through a weighted importance-satisfaction matrix has been created in order to analyze and rank the performance of each establishment. Data were obtained from 164 customer reviews for 47 service quality attributes and from two different segments: repeat and first-time tourists. Through segmentation, this study allows managers to identify differences between both user groups and implement more accurate planning and decision making strategies to enhance the quality of their services and, consequently, to improve their long-term success.

description: Collinear laser spectroscopy is performed on the nickel isotopes $^{58-68,70}$Ni, using a time-resolved photon counting system. From the measured isotope shifts, nuclear charge radii $R_c$ are extracted and compared to theoretical results. Three ab initio approaches all employ, among others, the chiral interaction NNLO$_{\rm sat}$, which allows an assessment of their accuracy. We find agreement with experiment in differential radii $δ\left\langle r_\mathrm{c}^2 \right\rangle$ for all employed ab initio methods and interactions, while the absolute radii are consistent with data only for NNLO$_{\rm sat}$. Within nuclear density functional theory, the Skyrme functional SV-min matches experiment more closely than the Fayans functional Fy($Δr$,HFB).
title: Resource Partitioning in Breeding Populations of Marsh Hawks and Short-Eared Owls
Creators: name: Linner, Susan C.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1980

description: During the 1979 breeding season four pairs of northern harriers, or marsh hawks (Circus cyaneus) and four pairs of short-eared owls (Asio flammeus) were studied in Cache Valley, Utah. The study was concerned solely with diurnal resource utilization, and did not examine the owls' nocturnal activities. The home range of each harrier pair overlapped substantially with that of an owl pair. Percent habitat overlap for hawk-owl pairs varied from 39 percent to 72 percent. Observations were made to determine if differences existed in their utilization of habitat and food resources, or in their daily and seasonal activity patterns.
Both species utilized mainly wet old field and pasture habitat types for their hunting efforts. In general wet old fields were utilized more than expected based on their availability, while pasture, bare ground, and harvested field habitats were used less than expected. Pairs of hawks and owls sharing common habitats generally showed differences in preferred hunting habitats. An analysis of variance showed that hawks and owls were making strikes in different habitat types and to some extent in different parts of the habitat. Harriers and owls nested in different habitat types.
Breeding seasons of the two species overlapped almost totally, but interspecific differences were detected in time-activity budgets. Overall, the owls were more sedentary than the hawks. Both species spent approximately 10 percent of the day in hunting-related activites, but timing of hunting varied from pair to pair. Overlapping pairs generally differed in their daily distribution of hunting time. The analysis of variance showed that there was a significant difference in the timing of strikes made by harriers and owls.
Both species were feeding primarily on small mammals in the study area, and food resources were probably not a limiting factor for either population.
Though northern harriers and short-eared owls appear to have a high degree of niche overlap, this study showed that where eight individual pairs of the two species came into contact they differed in time-activity budgets and habitat utilization. Coexistence between these two species may be enhanced by the fact that they both feed on an abundant prey resource. By subtle habitat and time budget preferences, reinforced through interspecific aggression, they can avoid competition.

description: Medical tourism has become of increasing interest for both researchers and managers in 21st century. However, how lobby servicescape influences customer’s image and pleasure is not well understood. To contribute to address this gap, this study aims to explore the effect of three factors of servicescape on customers’ image and pleasure. So, a sample of 332 fully completely questionnaires were employed to test the proposed model. Findings reveal servicescape as an effective antecedent of customer’s image and pleasure. Finally, the article also attempts to provide managerial implications and suggests further research.

description: The thermal accommodation coefficient $α$ has been assumed, although lacking any experimental proof, to be near unity for most gases so far, which denotes no influence. However, it plays a contributing role in the field of the effective thermal conductivity of highly porous insulation materials based on $SiO_2$ or $CaSiO_3$ as it is shown in this work. Besides, this work investigates a possible influence on $α$ for $Ar, N_2, He$ within parameters like temperature, roughness and contamination as this has not been examined on such materials so far. More importantly, it answers the question whether the assumption of $α$ = 1 is valid. By using a parallel plates device, very similar to the guarded-hot-plate, following EN 12667 it was possible to determine $α$ on a dense $CaSiO_3$. It occured that the assumptions $α$ = 1 (for $Ar, N_2$) and $α$ = 0.3 (for $He$) are valid for measurements near room temperature. Further, physical adsorption was found to increase $α$. The determination of the influence of roughness has been started showing an interesting effect, but it still remains an open topic. In a collaborative study molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed showing a strong equivalence of $α$ between $SiO_2$ and $CaSiO_3$. These results can be considered a lower limit of $α$ as neither roughness nor adsorption processes have been included in the simulation. Therefore, any deviations between experiments and MD could be considered as an appearance of physical adsorption.

Testing a model predicting distress in caregivers of children with ASD and/or ADHD
Creators: name: Hamilton, GF
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Caregivers of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) experience heightened levels of distress. Further, research on Model A has demonstrated that caregiver-centric variables are significant predictors of distress in caregivers of children with ASD (Bones et al., 2019; Falk et al., 2014), ADHD, and typically developing children (Scott, 2018). The current study aimed to replicate this research, and further, to validate Model A in caregivers of children with comorbid ASD and ADHD. Participants were 205 caregivers of 5- to 17-year-old children with ASD (n = 41), ADHD (n = 44), comorbid ASD and ADHD (n = 53), or who were typically developing (n = 67). Participants completed an online questionnaire with measures of caregiver distress, socio-economic support, maladaptive caregiver cognitions, child externalised behaviour, and child social and interpersonal deficits. Using hierarchical regression analyses, Model A was validated by significantly predicting distress in caregivers of children with ADHD, and comorbid ASD and ADHD. Results indicated that child social and interpersonal deficits, social support, and parental locus of control predicted caregiver distress to the greatest extent in each group. It is argued that caregiver distress be considered a key target for improving outcomes for families impacted by ASD and/or ADHD

description: For a model with a fourth family of quarks, new sources of flavor changing neutral currents are identified by confronting the unitary 4x4 quark mixing matrix with the experimental measured values of the familiar 3x3 quark mixing matrix. By imposing as experimental constraints the known bounds for the flavor changing neutral currents, the largest mixing of the known quarks with the fourth family ones is established. The predictions are: a value for |V_{tb}| significantly different from unity, large rates for rare top decays as t->cγand t->cZ, the last one reachable at the Large Hadrion Collider, and large rates for rare strange decays s->dγand s->dg, where g stands for the gluon field.

The relationships between jurors' thinking styles and their evaluations of expert evidence
Creators: name: Hateley, I
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Jurors are tasked with analysing evidence presented to them by experts and coming to a verdict based on such information. The presentation of DNA evidence is statistical, often presented as a random match probability. Jurors, who are lay people without prior knowledge of the techniques of DNA analysis, or statistics, risk diverting to common heuristics such as the white coat effect when analysing this information. Individual differences in processing style might influence how jurors appraise evidence. This study examined the relationship between scores in the cognitive reflection task (CRT) and faith in intuition scale (FI) and evaluations of DNA evidence presented by an expert. Participants read case notes pertaining to a crime, rated the strength of evidence, then were randomly allocated to a strong or weak expert testimony condition, and again rated strength of evidence. Participants completed the CRT and FI afterwards. Results showed no meaningful correlation between CRT and the difference in strength of evidence from the case notes to the expert, but a meaningful negative correlation between FI and the difference was found. This suggests individuals high in FI are unlikely to update their beliefs once they form an initial opinion, possibly due to the conservatism heuristic.
Uncovering the chemical structure of the pulsating low-mass white dwarf SDSS J115219.99+024814.4

description: Pulsating low-mass white dwarf stars are white dwarfs with stellar masses between 0.30~M$_{\odot}$ and 0.45~M$_{\odot}$ that show photometric variability due to gravity-mode pulsations. Within this mass range, they can harbour both a helium- and hybrid-core, depending if the progenitor experienced helium-core burning during the pre-white dwarf evolution. SDSS J115219.99$+$024814.4 is an eclipsing binary system where both components are low-mass white dwarfs, with stellar masses of 0.362$\pm$0.014~M$_{\odot}$ and 0.325$\pm$0.013~M$_{\odot}$. In particular, the less massive component is a pulsating star, showing at least three pulsation periods of $\sim$1314 s, $\sim$1069 s and $\sim$582.9 s. This opens the way to use asteroseismology as a tool to uncover its inner chemical structure, in combination with the information obtained using the light-curve modelling of the eclipses. To this end, using binary evolutionary models leading to helium- and hybrid-core white dwarfs, we compute adiabatic pulsations for $\ell=1$ and $\ell=2$ gravity modes with \texttt{Gyre}. We found that the pulsating component of the SDSS J115219.99$+$024814.4 system must have a hydrogen envelope thinner that the value obtained from binary evolution computations, independently of the inner composition. Finally, from our asteroseismological study, we find a best fit model characterised by T$_{\rm e ff}=10\, 917$ K, M=0.338~M$_{\odot}$, M$_{\rm H}=10^{-6}$~M$_{\odot}$ with the inner composition of a hybrid WD.

description: We explore the cosmic evolution of radio AGN with low radio powers (L_1.4GHz < 5\times10^25 W/Hz) out to z=1.3 using to-date the largest sample of ~600 low luminosity radio AGN at intermediate redshift drawn from the VLA-COSMOS survey. We derive the radio luminosity function for these AGN, and its evolution with cosmic time assuming two extreme cases: i) pure luminosity and ii) pure density evolution. The former and latter yield L_*\propto(1+z)^(0.8+/-0.1), and Phi*\propto (1+z)^(1.1+/-0.1), respectively, both implying a fairly modest change in properties of low radio-power AGN since z=1.3. We show that this is in stark contrast with the evolution of powerful (L_1.4GHz > 5\times10^25 W/Hz) radio AGN over the same cosmic time interval, constrained using the 3CRR, 6CE, and 7CRS radio surveys by Willott et al. (2001). We demonstrate that this can be explained through differences in black hole fueling and triggering mechanisms, and a dichotomy in host galaxy properties of weak and powerful AGN. Our findings suggest that high and low radio-power AGN activity is triggered in different stages during the formation of massive red galaxies. We show that weak radio AGN occur in the most massive galaxies already at z~1, and they may significantly contribute to the heating of their surrounding medium and thus inhibit gas accretion onto their host galaxies, as recently suggested for the `radio mode' in cosmological models.

description: This work is part of an effort to detect secular variable objects in large scale surveys by analysing their path in color-magnitude diagrams. To this aim, we first present the variability morphologies in the V/V-I diagram of several types of variable stars. They comprise both periodic and non periodic variable stars from the Large Magellanic Cloud, such as classical Cepheids, long period variables or Be and R Coronae Borealis stars, as well as two of the detected secular variable stars in the Galaxy, FG Sge and V4334 Sgr. The study of the different variability morphologies allows the identification of regions in the color-magnitude diagram where those secular variable stars could be detected. We also estimate the number of such secular variable stars expected in the Large Magellanic Cloud.

description: El Sistema, a music education programme with social upliftment as its core belief, began in Venezuela under the directions of Jose Antonio Abreu in the year 1975. It acquired Governmental support in 1977 when it became a youth development program. Since then, this pedagogic framework has spread across various countries. Not only does it allow the children to immerse into the process of making music in an ensemble, it also opens up interaction opportunities between the educators, patrons and parents (Witkowski 2015). Geoffrey Baker gives an insight into the autocratic and competitive elements of the El Sistema Programme (Baker 2014). When physician, musician, and a keen supporter of the arts, Luis Dias discovered about this international movement accidentally, during his visit to the BBC Proms in the year 2007, it moved him deeply. He felt that his native State Goa would immensely benefit from replicating such a model. In 2009, he founded the Childs Play India Foundation. This paper reflects on various questions. It explores how El Sistema framework functions in India (Goa), a country receiving moderate support from the Government in terms of music education, particularly, Western Classical music. Due to their Western Classical legacy and a Catholic ethic, Goans nurture music by introducing community participation. How does music pedagogy impact the underprivileged kids and the educators? In closing off the elitist associations of classical music, how does it expand the scope of music pedagogy? What role does performance and entrepreneurship play in this process?

The evolution of complex culture (cumulative cultural evolution) is usually modelled as a collective process in which individuals invent new artefacts (innovation) and copy information from others (social learning). This classic picture overlooks the growing role of intelligent algorithms in the digital age (e.g. search engines, recommender systems and large language models) in mediating information between humans, with potential consequences for cumulative cultural evolution. Building on a previous model, we investigate the combined effects of network-based social learning and a simplistic version of algorithmic mediation on cultural accumulation. We find that algorithmic mediation significantly impacts cultural accumulation and that this impact grows as social networks become less densely connected. Cultural accumulation is most effective when social learning and algorithmic mediation are combined, and the optimal ratio depends on the network's density. This work is an initial step towards formalizing the impact of intelligent algorithms on cumulative cultural evolution within an established framework. Models like ours provide insights into mechanisms of human-machine interaction in cultural contexts, guiding hypotheses for future experimental testing.
Growth simulation of trees, shrubs, grasses and forbs on a big-game winter range

description: Plant growth, production, competition and, to a limited degree, secondary succession have been simulated for a mixed species forest ecosystem operating on a big-game winter range. The simulation was based on empirically derived relationships. The major plant species investigated included Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco (Douglas-fir), Amelanchier alnifolia, Ceanothus sanguineus, Shepherdia canadensis, Prunus virginiana, Rosa nutkana, Symphoricarpos albus, Agropyron spicatum, Poa compressa and scabrella, Calamagrostis rubescens and Koeleria cristata. Distinction was not made among forb species. The simulation model predicts plant community development and production by species for a maximum period of 100 years following establishment, with up to 20 calculation intervals. Individual plants form the basic simulation unit. Variable data inputs include simulation period, calculation interval, species composition, density, inherent biological variability and site quality. Output is expressed in terms of wood production, weight of annual twig production of shrubs, current annual growth and carry-over of grasses, and current annual growth, of forbs. Designed to be used on the Wigwam big-game winter range in the East Kootenay district of British Columbia, the model provides a quantitative comparison of the land's capability to produce wood, browse, grasses and forbs. It also provides a basis for the solution of forestry-wildlife conflicts, such as assessment of the implications of management for wood production on ungulate food production, and formulation and testing of strategies designed to increase yields of wood, browse, grass and forbs.

human excreta-derived fertilizers
animal excreta-derived fertilizers

description: Human excreta-derived fertilizers contribute to sustainable agriculture by reusing valuable nutrients. However, consumer prejudice, farmer hesitance and strict regulations discourage utilization of these fertilizers, while animal manure is widely accepted. Yet, both fertilizers may contain antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes which spread among soil microorganisms by horizontal gene transfer. Here, we conducted a meta-analysis to compare antibiotic resistance gene presence, abundance and diversity in human excreta-derived fertilizers and animal manure.
We created a co-occurrence keyword network using the litsearchr R package to find suitable papers and reduce bias. We collected data such as the antibiotic resistance gene determination method, fertilizer base (human or animal), fertilizer type (i.e. manure, sewage sludge), and assessed antibiotic resistance genes. This resulted in 7918 datapoints from 43 papers on human excreta-derived fertilizers, 7558 datapoints from 24 papers on animal manure and 3321 datapoints of untreated soil from 14 papers.
Antibiotic resistance genes were most often detected in soil amended with animal manure (91.1%), followed by animal manure directly (81.6%), human excreta-derived fertilizers directly (68.2%), soil amended with human excreta-derived fertilizers (45.2%) and lastly in untreated soil (35.1%). Moreover, antibiotic resistance gene diversity was highest in animal manure, compared to human excreta-derived fertilizers and untreated soil. Animal manure and human excreta-derived fertilizers soil amendments added, respectively, 70 and 28 unique antibiotic resistance genes that were not detected in untreated soil.
Our results indicate that, in the context of the soil resistome, human excreta-derived fertilizers are a safe alternative to animal manure. However, studies covering a larger diversity of soil and environmental settings are needed to better understand antibiotic resistance gene dissemination and to identify safe application rates for using human excreta as fertilizer.

description: Este artigo apresenta um modelo de interpretação centrado nas possibilidades articulatórias derivadas do sistema de classificação das consoantes quanto ao modo de articulação, em obras cujas melodias são extraídas de repertório vocal. A metodologia usada parte de conceitos da fonética. A partir da definição de consoantes oclusivas e constritivas são elaboradas representações distintas de micro articulação musical. Após uma análise e classificação das consoantes verificadas nos textos das fontes primárias, aplicámos a micro articulação correspondente às melodias das mesmas fontes, de forma a obter uma possibilidade interpretativa que infere na formação de grupos melódicos e pontos culminantes de cada frase. O sistema de classificação das consoantes quanto ao modo de articulação fornece-nos duas micro articulações. As consoantes oclusivas produzem uma micro articulação percussiva equivalente a um acento e as consoantes constritivas produzem uma micro articulação arrastada equivalente a um tenuto. Estes dois elementos articulatórios permitem desenvolver uma interpretação que tem em conta não só o ritmo notado, como também a micro articulação contida nos textos. Neste artigo usámos como obra laboratório as Cantigas de Santiago (2015), um conjunto de sete peças para guitarra solo cujas fontes primárias são temas extraídos do Codex Calixtinus, das Cantigas de Amigo de Martim Codax e das Cantigas de Santa Maria de Afonso X.

title: An Evaluation of Deschampsia caespitosa (L.) Beauv Populations for Metal Tolerances and Ecotypic Variation at Climax, Colorado
Creators: name: Pratt, Paul Ellsworth
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1982

description: Four populations of Deschampsia caespitosa (L.) Beauv (a Poaceae species), growing on disturbed and undisturbed sites at Climax, Colorado, were examined for metal tolerances (Zn, Cu, Pb, Al). Root growth assessments on parent plant and offspring material for each population were conducted using nutrient solutions containing elevated levels of Zn, Cu, Pb, or Al. Seed germination and seedling survival tests for each population were conducted on both alpine topsoil and mine spoil material.
Evidence is presented that supports the hypothesis that ecotypic variation exists within Deschampsia caespitosa and that this variation has allowed certain Deschampsia populations to become successfully established on alpine mine spoils. Acid mine spoil populations showed significantly less root growth retardation in the presence of zinc, copper or aluminum.

title: Spatial and Behavioral Patterns of Captive Coyotes

description: Environmental enrichment is a technique used at many captive animal facilities that can improve the well-being of their animals. It seeks to enhance habitat features and promote natural behavior by providing a variety of practical ways for captive animals to control their environmental settings, especially during stressful circumstances. Enclosure features, such as shelter structures, are one tool that promotes wild behavior by adding complexity to an enclosure’s physical environment. Enrichment efforts for captive wildlife are most effective when they are specialized to the biological needs of the animals. Human activity may alter captive animal behavior and utility of enclosure features, and there is concern that human presence can negatively impact the welfare of some captive animals. Captive coyotes (Canis latrans) at the USDA-National Wildlife Research Center (NWRC) Predator Research Facility in Millville, UT, USA, are maintained for research on biology, ecology, physiology and behavior. Coyotes at the research facility are routinely noticed utilizing shelter structures to hide, rest, and display vigilant behavior. Because they regularly use these simple structures, new and more complex enrichment shelter structures were installed to be evaluated. Specific research objectives aimed to assess (1) coyote enclosure utilization and shelter structure preferences, and (2) coyote spatial and behavioral responses to human activity. Using 32 mated coyote pairs rotated through eight 1.5-acre enclosures for 28-day trials over the winter months (January – March) of 2015 and 2016, spatial and behavioral patterns were monitored via the implementation of GPS-collars and live behavioral observations. Coyotes showed preference for shelter structure designs, but still spent most of their time at the perimeter and open areas of their enclosures. Complex structures were preferred over simple structures. Coyotes most often demonstrated inactive and vigilant behavior without human activity, but showed increased vigilance when there was human activity. Human activity also stimulated coyotes to become more active than inactive and reduce their utilization of enrichment structures. Although there was no clear preference for one specific type of enrichment structure, composite evidence from GPS-collars and behavioral data suggest the ramp may have heightened biological suitability. This study advances the knowledge of captive coyote spatial patterns and helps improve environmental enrichment planning for captive animals by exploring effective methods of adding complexity to animal enclosures.
