Mercury concentrations in fish-eating birds from the Pinchi Lake area in relation to productivity and reproductive success
Creators: name: Weech, Shari A.
name: Scheuhammer, Tony M.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Bald eagles and red-necked grebes were monitored from 2000 - 2002 on several lakes along the Pinchi fault, an area with a known source of geologic mercury and previous Hg mining (on Pinchi Lake), in an effort to discern whether increased Hg concentrations were affecting reproductive success and productivity. To determine whether or not Hg levels were elevated, fish tissues (rainbow trout and northern pikeminnow) were collected, eagles breeding on 5 lakes (Pinchi, Tezzeron, Stuart, Great Beaver and Fraser) were sampled for blood- and feather-Hg concentrations, and eggs were collected from rednecked grebes. Concentrations of Hg in all grebe eggs, while highest in eggs collected from Pinchi Lake, were below 0.5 μg/g wet wt., often cited as the lowest observed adverse effect level for Hg developmental toxicity in birds. Reproductive success and average productivity of the bald eagles over the 3-year period were 62% and 0.98 chicks/territory on Pinchi Lake compared to 64% and 1.17 chicks/territory on all other study lakes combined. Significant relationships were found between adult and chick blood Hg levels from the same nests as well as chick blood and feather Hg concentrations. Despite the apparently elevated Hg levels found in adult eagles from Pinchi Lake (mean blood Hg = 6.54 μg/g wet wt.), the birds appeared to be in excellent condition. The adult eagle with the highest level of Hg in blood (9.44 μg/g wet wt.) successfully raised two eaglets in each of the summers of 2001 and 2002, making it one of the most productive birds in the study area. Thus, while dietary Hg exposure is greater in eagles and grebes from Pinchi Lake, it does not appear to adversely affect reproductive success or productivity. This study illustrates how reproductive monitoring can be used to verify or refute conclusions that might be drawn from findings suggesting a possible contaminant effect on local wildlife.
Modularity of the Rankin-Selberg L-series, and multiplicity one for SL(2)

description: A fundamental question, first raised by Langlands, is to know whether the Rankin-Selberg product of two (not necessarily holomorphic) cusp forms f and g is modular, i.e., if there exists an automorphic form f box g on GL(4)/Q whose standard L-function equals L^*(s, f x g) after removing the ramified and archimedean factors. The first main result of this paper is to answer it in the affirmative, in fact with the base field Q replaced by any number field F. Our proof uses a mixture of converse theorems, base change and descent, and it also appeals to the local regularity properties of Eisenstein series and the scalar products of their truncations. One of the applications of this result is that the space of cusp forms on SL(2) has multiplicity one. Concretely this means the following: If f, g are newforms of holomorphic or Maass type with trivial character such that the squares of the p-th coeficients of f and g are the same at almost all primes p, then g must be a twist of f by a quadratic Dirichlet character.

description: Using Reinforcement Learning to Weaken DDoS Attacks in Real-Time

 

Abstract:

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are an escalating cybersecurity threat, disrupting online services by overwhelming network resources. Traditional mitigation techniques, such as firewalls and rate limiting, often struggle to adapt to evolving attack patterns. This research explores the application of Reinforcement Learning (RL) as an adaptive and intelligent defense mechanism against DDoS attacks. Unlike traditional machine learning models, RL continuously learns and improves its strategies through interaction with the network environment, making it particularly effective for dynamic attack scenarios. The study evaluates RL-based mitigation techniques, comparing their effectiveness against conventional methods and highlighting their potential to revolutionize real-time network security.

description: We applied multiresolution wavelet analysis to the sequence of times between human heartbeats (R-R intervals) and have found a scale window, between 16 and 32 heartbeats, over which the widths of the R-R wavelet coefficients fall into disjoint sets for normal and heart-failure patients. This has enabled us to correctly classify every patient in a standard data set as either belonging to the heart-failure or normal group with 100% accuracy, thereby providing a clinically significant measure of the presence of heart-failure from the R-R intervals alone. Comparison is made with previous approaches, which have provided only statistically significant measures.

description: Megalaema bilineata Sundevall, 1850: 109.
 VERBATIM TYPE LOCALITY: “ e Caffraria inferiore allati. ”
 CURRENT STATUS: Pogoniulus bilineatus bilineatus (Sundevall, 1850); Ramphastidae (Dickinson & Remsen 2013: 329) (includes riparium Clancey, 1952, oronesus, Clancey, 1971, deceptor Clancey, 1972, and makawai Benson & Irwin, 1965).
 TYPE MATERIAL: Sundevall’s original description states that the name was based on several specimens, all males (“ Plures mares, nulla femina...”). According to his acquisition catalogue he had four specimens available. Gyldenstolpe (1926: 78–79) referred to NRM 569758 [7437] as a “type”, which we treat as a lectotype designation of this male collected 5 November 1842 at uMlalazi River. The three paralectotypes are: NRM 569759 [7438], a male collected 3 November 1842 at uMlalazi River; RMNH. AVES.200461 [7440], a male collected 4 November 1842 at uMlalazi River, sent on exchange to Leiden in 1850; and a male [7439] collected 4 November 1842 at uMlalazi River, sent on exchange to Berlin in 1853 (and still present in the ZMB collection).
VERIFIED TYPE LOCALITY: Umlalazi, KwaZulu-Natal.
COMMENTS: The TL was correctly restricted to Umlalazi (uMlalazi) River by Gyldenstolpe (1934), but was incorrectly dated. Sundevall generally meticulously copied Wahlberg’s data, but he misread the date and locality on the specimen label, recording the date as 5 April 1842, although it is clearly 5 November 1842 in his personal accessions register (Figure 2).
Gyldenstolpe (1926) repeated the date error in his catalogue of the type specimens in the NRM. Wahlberg’s original labels are missing, but a rewritten label is correct regarding date and place. Wahlberg was at Tswaing, in Gauteng Province, on 5 April 1842, and had been there since early March 1842, leaving for the Magaliesberg in early April.

description: Worldline quantum inequalities provide lower bounds on weighted averages of the renormalised energy density of a quantum field along the worldline of an observer. In the context of real, linear scalar field theory on an arbitrary globally hyperbolic spacetime, we establish a worldline quantum inequality on the normal ordered energy density, valid for arbitrary smooth timelike trajectories of the observer, arbitrary smooth compactly supported weight functions and arbitrary Hadamard quantum states. Normal ordering is performed relative to an arbitrary choice of Hadamard reference state. The inequality obtained generalises a previous result derived for static trajectories in a static spacetime. The underlying argument is straightforward and is made rigorous using the techniques of microlocal analysis. In particular, an important role is played by the characterisation of Hadamard states in terms of the microlocal spectral condition. We also give a compact form of our result for stationary trajectories in a stationary spacetime.

Fast-Cadence TESS Photometry and Doppler Tomography of the Asynchronous Polar CD Ind: A Revised Accretion Geometry from Newly Proposed Spin and Orbital Periods

description: The TESS spacecraft observed the asynchronous polar CD Ind at a two-minute cadence almost continuously for 28 days in 2018, covering parts of 5 consecutive cycles of the system's 7.3-day beat period. These observations provide the first uninterrupted photometry of a full spin-orbit beat cycle of an asynchronous polar. Twice per beat cycle, the accretion flow switched between magnetic poles on the white dwarf, causing the spin pulse of the white dwarf (WD) to alternate between two waveforms after each pole-switch. An analysis of the waveforms suggests that one accretion region is continuously visible when it is active, while the other region experiences lengthy self-eclipses by the white dwarf. We argue that the previously accepted periods for both the binary orbit and the WD spin have been misidentified, and while the cause of this misidentification is a subtle and easily overlooked effect, it has profound consequences for the interpretation of the system's accretion geometry and doubles the estimated time to resynchronization. Moreover, our timings of the photometric maxima do not agree with the quadratic ephemeris from Myers et al. (2017), and it is possible that the optical spin pulse might be an unreliable indicator of the white dwarf's rotation. Finally, we use Doppler tomography of archival time-resolved spectra from 2006 to study the accretion flow. While the accretion flow showed a wider azimuthal extent than is typical for synchronous polars, it was significantly less extended than in the three other asynchronous polars for which Doppler tomography has been reported.

description: Falconbridge Limited owns two former concentrate transfer sites near Topley, B.C. The Sites were used for storage and rail shipment of Cu concentrate from the now closed Granisle and Bell mines. The Sites had other historic uses including road salt storage. Preliminary and Detailed Site Investigations were completed to evaluate the extent and degree of soil contamination, and site-specific risk assessments (SSRAs) completed to guide the development of Remediation Plans. At both sites, soils and groundwater contain elevated concentrations of Cu, salt, other metals and organic compounds. Groundwater modeling demonstrates that Cu is strongly attenuated by formation of poorlysoluble Cu carbonate along flow paths, so that no significant Cu contamination reaches the adjacent Bulkley River or neighbouring properties. This has been verified by groundwater and river monitoring. The SSRAs identified no potential human health risk to persons who access the properties or swim and fish in the Bulkley River. Ecological risks are confined to terrestrial receptors (plants and small wildlife species) assumed to reside within the most contaminated portions of the Sites. Risks to terrestrial biota are less than those calculated in the SSRAs due to habitat limitations. For aquatic biota, no significant risks were identified in the river. The SSRAs concluded that ecological benefit associated with remediation would be minimal, and that risks would remain low provided that the Sites are managed as “Brownfield” industrial sites. Long-term monitoring is appropriate to ensure that risks remain low.

description: In tribe Antirrhineae
The line of evolution is from the less advanced Antirrhinum majus to the more advanced Kickxia aegyptiaca. The latter exhibits a considerable number of advanced characters viz. sepal marginal, petal, staminal and carpel supply evolved from vascular complexes, bilipped corolla tube (2,3), four fertile stamens and one staminode, two ventral carpellary bundles, absence of nectary disc and presence of compitum.
Antirrhinum majus exhibits some of less advanced characters viz. distinct five sepals with sepal median bundles arose from central stele, sepal bundles numerous, five petals, dithecous anthers, five staminal traces, the latter with dorsal carpellary bundles coming from central stele while the lateral carpellary bundles from dorsal carpellary mass. Anarrhinum pubescence and Linaria maroccana are the intermediate spp. of this tribe exhibiting amalgamation between advanced and less advanced characters.

description: Experiments searching for rare processes like neutrinoless double beta decay heavily rely on the identification of background events to reduce their background level and increase their sensitivity. We present a novel machine learning based method to recognize one of the most abundant classes of background events in these experiments. By combining a neural network for feature extraction with a smaller classification network, our method can be trained with only a small number of labeled events. To validate our method, we use signals from a broad-energy germanium detector irradiated with a $^{228}$Th gamma source. We find that it matches the performance of state-of-the-art algorithms commonly used for this detector type. However, it requires less tuning and calibration and shows potential to identify certain types of background events missed by other methods.

description: In this article we introduce new methods for the analysis of high dimensional data in tensor formats, where the underling data come from the stochastic elliptic boundary value problem. After discretisation of the deterministic operator as well as the presented random fields via KLE and PCE, the obtained high dimensional operator can be approximated via sums of elementary tensors. This tensors representation can be effectively used for computing different values of interest, such as maximum norm, level sets and cumulative distribution function. The basic concept of the data analysis in high dimensions is discussed on tensors represented in the canonical format, however the approach can be easily used in other tensor formats. As an intermediate step we describe efficient iterative algorithms for computing the characteristic and sign functions as well as pointwise inverse in the canonical tensor format. Since during majority of algebraic operations as well as during iteration steps the representation rank grows up, we use lower-rank approximation and inexact recursive iteration schemes.

description: Word meaning changes over time, depending on linguistic and extra-linguistic factors. Associating a word's correct meaning in its historical context is a central challenge in diachronic research, and is relevant to a range of NLP tasks, including information retrieval and semantic search in historical texts. Bayesian models for semantic change have emerged as a powerful tool to address this challenge, providing explicit and interpretable representations of semantic change phenomena. However, while corpora typically come with rich metadata, existing models are limited by their inability to exploit contextual information (such as text genre) beyond the document time-stamp. This is particularly critical in the case of ancient languages, where lack of data and long diachronic span make it harder to draw a clear distinction between polysemy (the fact that a word has several senses) and semantic change (the process of acquiring, losing, or changing senses), and current systems perform poorly on these languages. We develop GASC, a dynamic semantic change model that leverages categorical metadata about the texts' genre to boost inference and uncover the evolution of meanings in Ancient Greek corpora. In a new evaluation framework, our model achieves improved predictive performance compared to the state of the art.

description: The Gibbs entropy of a macroscopic classical system is a function of a probability distribution over phase space, i.e., of an ensemble. In contrast, the Boltzmann entropy is a function on phase space, and is thus defined for an individual system. Our aim is to discuss and compare these two notions of entropy, along with the associated ensemblist and individualist views of thermal equilibrium. Using the Gibbsian ensembles for the computation of the Gibbs entropy, the two notions yield the same (leading order) values for the entropy of a macroscopic system in thermal equilibrium. The two approaches do not, however, necessarily agree for non-equilibrium systems. For those, we argue that the Boltzmann entropy is the one that corresponds to thermodynamic entropy, in particular in connection with the second law of thermodynamics. Moreover, we describe the quantum analog of the Boltzmann entropy, and we argue that the individualist (Boltzmannian) concept of equilibrium is supported by the recent works on thermalization of closed quantum systems.

description: We prove that numerous negatively curved simply connected locally compact polyhedral complexes, admitting a discrete cocompact group of automorphisms, have automorphism groups which are locally compact, uncountable, non linear and virtually simple. Examples include hyperbolic buildings, Cayley graphs of word hyperbolic Coxeter systems, and generalizations of cubical complexes, that we call even polyhedral complexes. We use tools introduced by Tits in the case of automorphism groups of trees, and Davis-Moussong's geometric realisation of Coxeter systems.

d-wave Quasiparticles in the Tilted Vortex Lattice

Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate the quasiparticle spectrum of a d-wave superconductor in the mixed state, focussing on the effects of varying the in-plane angular alignment (or tilting) of the vortex and crystal lattices. Our approach starts with a linearized Bogoliubov-de Gennes equation cast into a simple form by the Franz-Tešanović singular gauge transformation. The zero magnetic field spectrum is characterized by the anisotropy $α_D$ near the four Fermi-surface nodes; at large $α_D$ the model simplifies into a one-dimensional form that provides asymptotic results. Numerical and analytical results are presented and compared with previous studies. We find that tilting can be understood in terms of the one-dimensional model at large $α_D$. We see a striking dependence on the choice of singular gauge, consistent with earlier results, but do not attempt to resolve the issue of which gauge best describes the microscopic physics.

description: Four phases in the economic and physical development of Brighton (East Sussex) are identified. (1) Between the later sixteenth and mid-seventeenth centuries, the town grew and prospered through fishing, particularly in the North Sea, with cargo carrying as a secondary employment. (2) In the later seventeenth century Brighton boats withdrew from North Sea fishing, in part because the town's foreshore was being eroded by the sea. Cargo carrying became of relatively greater importance, but could not prevent loss of population and falling material prosperity. (3) From the 1740s visitors to the town in search of cures for their illnesses and of recreation brought a reversal of fortunes. Much new employment in services was generated, and extensive rebuilding and infilling occurred within the town's long-established boundaries. (4) In the 1770s, the town broke these boundaries and suburban development began. Until the 1820s the form of this development was strongly influenced by the pattern of the existing open field system.
Nutrient Dynamics in a Warmer World: Nitrogen Uptake by Trees

description: Climate models project a reduced snowpack depth and delay of the onset of its seasonal formation in the northeastern United States over the next 100 years. Reduction of the snowpack leaves soils exposed to freezing air temperatures, which can induce soil frost and inhibit soil biotic activity. Increased soil frost may affect nutrient cycling by damaging fine roots and increasing root mortality. Repeated freezing damage and subsequent heightened production of fine roots in the following growing season may deplete nutrient and carbon reserves within trees. This may leave fine roots more susceptible to frost damage in the following winter, which could decrease nutrient uptake by trees in future years. In order to assess the effects of increased soil frost on nutrient uptake by trees in mixed temperate forests, I measured nitrogen uptake by excised fine roots from a snow removal experiment at Harvard Forest. There were no significant differences in soil freezing depth bet! ween reference and snow removal plots for the mild winter of 2011-2012. Fine roots from snow removal plots had higher mean rates of NH4+ (P = 0.0375) and NO3- uptake than fine roots from reference plots (P = 0.0645). Uptake of NH4+ was significantly greater than NO3- uptake in both reference (P = 0.011) and snow-removal (P = 0.003) plots. Differences in nutrient uptake by fine roots between the reference and snow-removal plots could be occurring for multiple reasons. Soil frost from the previous winter (2010/2011 winter) may have damaged fine roots, diminishing nutrient uptake capacity in the growing season of 2012. Furthermore, trees in the snow removal plots may be nutrient deficient from regenerating fine roots that died the previous winter (2010/2011 winter) when soil frost was greater. Increased fine root necromass and subsequent nutrient release through decomposition may increase nutrient availability in soils of the snow removal plots. However, increased soil ! nitrogen pools may lead to greater nutrient leaching from the ecosystem and change nutrient dynamics of northeastern forests.
Knowledge sharing in artisanal mining communities : mercury, technology and sustainability in developing countries

description: As gold has risen in value and artisanal gold mining has increased in many low income countries, there has been an increasing need for sustainable development models that promote environmental protection while enhancing the contribution of this activity to poverty alleviation. Artisanal mining provides a critical source of income for an estimated 15 million poverty-driven miners around the world, mainly in Africa, Asia and Latin America. However, its environmental impacts are often extensive, with mercury pollution posing major threats to human health and diverse ecosystems. 1000 tonnes of mercury are polluted annually into the environment due to mercury misuse in artisanal gold mining. This paper reviews community development models pioneered by local community practitioners and international experts as part of an initiative by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, which can help to overcome environmental, social and economic challenges. We discuss the introduction of various technical options, from simple innovations that allow mercury containment, recycling and re-use, and also emphasize the importance of technologies of grinding and crushing that can be developed from local materials to further enhance income potential. While various past development efforts have sought to reduce mercury-related problems, we conclude that sustainable development should seek to intertwine knowledge-sharing on environmental goals with concrete ways of improving economic well-being. We demonstrate how such models of knowledge-sharing can help to catalyze local innovation, technology-sharing and community organization. We also discuss how this knowledge can be applied by governments to create capacitybuilding policies as well as regulations that support sustained improvement in mining standards.

description: The Schrodinger picture description of vacuum states in curved spacetime is further developed. General solutions for the vacuum wave functional are given for both static and dynamic (Bianchi type I) spacetimes and for conformally static spacetimes of Robertson-Walker type. The formalism is illustrated for simple cosmological models with time-dependent metrics and the phenomenon of particle creation is related to a special form of the kernel in the vacuum wave functional.

description: Ploceus (Hyphanthornis sic) rubriceps Sundevall, 1850: 97.
 VERBATIM TYPE LOCALITY: “ Hab. in Caffraria superiore, prope tropicum. ”
 CURRENT STATUS: Anaplectes rubriceps rubriceps (Sundevall, 1850); Ploceidae (Dickinson & Christidis 2014: 290).
TYPE MATERIAL: Sundevall’s description (1850: 97) is explicitly based on a male, a female, and a juvenile male. Gyldenstolpe (1926: 12) referred to two types, a male and a female, which thus cannot be regarded as lectotypes. According to Sundevall’s acquisition catalogue, 12 specimens were received from Wahlberg, and all are to be treated as syntypes (for some of which the exact origin is unknown). There is presently no need for a lectotype designation. The 12 syntypes are: NRM 568683 [6044], an adult male collected 8 November 1843 in Saulspoort (Mohoapoani); NRM 568685 [6047], an adult female collected 4 November 1843 in Saulspoort (these two considered as “types” in Gyldenstolpe, 1926: 12); NRM 568684 [6046], a male collected 5 November 1843 in Saulspoort; NRM 535129 [6045], a mounted male collected 25 October 1843 in Saulspoort; NRM 535135 [6048], a juvenile male (not sexed in Sundevall’s acquisition catalogue) collected 25 October 1843 at Saulspoort; a male, ZMB 7281 [6202] collected before 1845 in “Cafferl.”, sent on exchange to Berlin in 1853; and a female [6208] with the same data also sent to Berlin in 1853 (both specimens still present in the collection as ZMB 7281 and ZMB 7282, but with no data other than collector J.A. Wahlberg); two males [6206, 6207], collected in October 1843 in Saulspoort, sent to the University of Lund; a male [6204], undated, but collected before 1845 in “Cafferl.”, sent to R.B. Sharpe in London in 1871, and now in the NHMUK collection at Tring, with details NHMUK 1877.7.11.558, labelled “ Limpopo River” (which may be questioned) and not listed as a syntype by Warren & Harrison (1971); a male [6203] collected before 1845 in “Cafferl.”, sent on exchange to Bremen in 1870; and a male [6205] collected before 1845 in “Cafferl.”, sent to Professor Peter Wahlberg, brother of J.A. Wahlberg, in 1858.
VERIFIED TYPE LOCALITY: “Caffraria”, North West Province.
 COMMENTS: The genus Hyphantornis was described by Gray (1844 –1849) in volume 2 of his Genera of birds on page 350, according to the “Contents of the second volume” but it is actually not paginated. Sundevall corrected the spelling to Hyphanthornis. Gyldenstolpe (1926: 12) used Hyphanthornis, but Gray’s (linguistically erroneous) spelling is valid following the Code.
