title: Feature Selection and Analysis for Standard Machine Learning Classification of Audio Beehive Samples
Creators: name: Gupta, Chelsi
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2019

description: The beekeepers need to inspect their hives regularly in order to protect them from various stressors. Manual inspection of hives require a lot of time and effort. Hence, many researchers have started using electronic beehive monitoring (EBM) systems to collect critical information from beehives, so as to alert the beekeepers of possible threats to the hive. EBM collects information by applying multiple sensors into the hive. The sensors collect information in the form of video, audio or temperature data from the hives.

This thesis involves the automatic classification of audio samples from a beehive into bee buzzing, cricket chirping and ambient noise, using machine learning models. The classification of samples in these three categories will help the beekeepers to determine the health of beehives by analyzing the sound patterns in a typical audio sample from beehive. Abnormalities in the classification pattern over a period of time can notify the beekeepers about potential risk to the hives such as attack by foreign bodies (Varroa mites or wing virus), climate changes and other stressors.

description: This is era of information blast. A huge quantity of information is pouring in from various sources. The revolutionary advancement of Information and Communication technologies bring the world close together. A pile of information in different formats is just a click away. Which motivate the organizations to get more internet bandwidth to consume and publish the information over exploding cloud of Internet. The standard router redundancy protocol is used to handle backup links however it cannot aggregate them. Whereas the link standard aggregation protocol can aggregate the link but it support only Ethernet technology. In this research paper a concept of Redundant Link Aggregation (RLA) is proposed. RLA can aggregate and handle backup links with main links regardless of carrier technology. Furthermore a data forwarding mechanism Odd Load Balancing (OLB) is also proposed for RLA scheme. For the sake of performance evaluation, Redundant Link Aggregation (RLA) is compared with Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP). The simulation result reveals that Redundant Link Aggregation (RLA) can cover the bandwidth demand of the network in peak hours by consuming backup links as well which with Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) cannot. It is further noted that Odd Load Balancing (OLB) feature can be used to save the cost in terms of money per annum.

description: Ansamitocine sind antiproliferative Sekundärmetaboliten aus Actinosynnema pretiosum. Sie bestehen aus einem Polyketid Makrolactam mit AHBA als Starteinheit der Biosynthese. Unter Verwendung von DAHBA-Mutanten wurde mithilfe der Mutasynthese bereits eine große Vielfalt biologisch aktiver Ansamitocin-Derivate erzeugt. Kürzlich wurde eine weitere Mutante von A. pretiosum beschrieben, der sowohl die Gene für die AHBA-Synthese als auch die Gene für die Post-Polyketid-Modifikation fehlen. Dieser Stamm, AH1 genannt, produziert nach Fütterung mit verschiedenen Aminobenzoesäuren Proansamitocin-Derivate, wenn auch in geringerer Ausbeute als bei der ursprünglichen DAHBA-Ausgangsmutante. Besonders interessant waren die Funde eines Makrolacton-Proansamitocin-Derivats nach Fütterung mit einer Hydroxymethylbenzoesäure. Im ersten Teil dieser Studie wurde das Substratspektrum des Stammes AH1 untersucht und neue Proansamitocin-Derivate charakterisiert. Es wurden Studien zur Verbesserung der Kulturbedingungen für diesen neuen Stamm durchgeführt. Ziel dieser Studie war die Isolierung großer Mengen des Makrolacton-Proansamitocin-Derivats durch eine 25-Liter- Fermentation unter Verwendung des BIOSTAT®CultiBag RM-Reaktors. Jedoch konnte das gewünschte Makrolacton unter diesen Bedingungen nicht isoliert werden. Im zweiten Teil dieser Arbeit wurde ein neues SPION-Antibiotika-Konjugat synthetisiert, bei dem das Antibiotikum über einen thermosensitiven Linker an das SPION gebunden ist. Die Verwendung von SPIONs zur thermoselektiven Freisetzung nach induktiver Erwärmung ist ein vielversprechendes Werkzeug für neuartige Arzneimittelsysteme. Ein neuer thermosensitiver Linker für die Freisetzung von Carbonsäuren wurde entwickelt und getestet. Dieser Linker zeigte eine schnelle Freisetzung von Nalidixinsäure bei 95 °C in weniger als 30 min, während bei 37 °C über mehrere Stunden keine signifikante Freisetzung beobachtet wurde. Anschließend wurde Nalidixinsäure über diesen Linker mit MagSilica® SPIONs verknüpft, und es wurde eine Freisetzung bei induktiver Erwärmung beobachtet.

title: Development and Validation of an Agricultural Literacy Instrument Using the National Agricultural Literacy Outcomes
Creators: name: Judd-Murray, M. Rose
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2019

description: This study was conducted to develop a standardized agricultural literacy assessment using the National Agricultural Literacy Outcomes (NALOs) as benchmarks. The need for such an assessment was born out of previous research, which found that despite numerous programs dedicated to improving agricultural literacy, many students and adults remain at low or very low levels of literacy. Low literacy levels lead to negative associations with the production and processing of food, clothing, and shelter, as well as misinformed public perceptions and policies. Agricultural literacy researchers recognized that the development of a standardized assessment for post-12th grade, or equivalent, could unify both research and program development efforts.

The assessment was developed by forming two groups of experts. Teaching experts and agricultural content experts worked together in an iterative process. They crafted 45 questions using research methods and models. The 45 items were placed in an online survey to be tested for validity by a participant group. During the Fall 2018 semester, 515 Utah State University students between the ages of 18-23 years old participated in the online assessment. The participant data assisted in determining which questions were valid and reliable for determining agricultural literacy, as aligned to the NALO standards. Additional demographic information was also collected from participants. The demographic items asked students to self-report their level of exposure to agriculture and their self-perceived level of agricultural literacy.

The study concluded that two separate 15-item Judd-Murray Agricultural Literacy Instruments (JMALI) were valid and reliable for determining agricultural proficiency levels based on the NALOs. Participant scores were reported as a single proficiency stage: exposure, factual literacy, or applicable proficiency. The study also determined that students who had a “great deal” or higher level of exposure to agriculture also had a strong, positive correlation with a “good” or higher level of agricultural literacy. Findings show participants who reported a “good” level of agricultural literacy shared a positive correlation with either performing at a factual literacy (middle) or applicable proficiency (highest) level on the assessment.

The results suggest JMALI instruments have the potential to assist in improving current agricultural education endeavors by providing a critical tool for determining the agricultural literacy proficiency stages of adult populations.

description: Ecological networks are often composed of different sub-communities (often referred to as modules). Identifying such modules has the potential to develop a better understanding of the assembly of ecological communities and to investigate functional overlap or specialisation. The most informative form of networks are quantitative or weighted networks. Here we introduce an algorithm to identify modules in quantitative bipartite (or two-mode) networks. It is based on the hierarchical random graphs concept of Clauset et al. (2008 Nature 453: 98-101) and is extended to include quantitative information and adapted to work with bipartite graphs. We define the algorithm, which we call QuaBiMo, sketch its performance on simulated data and illustrate its potential usefulness with a case study.

description: There is extensive literature on forest management institutional responses as a function of socio-economic and political factors, albeit limited evidence on responses triggered by health shocks. To bridge this gap, this paper analyses forest management institutional response approaches around the Busitema Forest Reserve in Uganda, using the COVID-19 pandemic as a case. Household surveys (n = 135), focus group discussions (n = 4) and key informant interviews (n = 8) provided the relevant data. The results indicate that compliance with formal and informal institutions increased during the pandemic; this was attributed to fear and uncertainty about the mode of spread of the COVID-19 virus, which was flagged by mainstream media as a zoonotic disease. Formal institutional enforcement agents, therefore, used the pandemic to forward their agenda and reinforce rules that aim to exclude local people from resource appropriation in this reserve. The response was further manifested through the transposition of existing institutions to new functions, changes in rule application and the introduction of new rules. These responses paved the way for formal institutions to tighten their control of forest resource use by allying with informal institutions. The study provides complementary evidence on institutional change with an emphasis on COVID-19 as a health-related trigger.

Subjects: subject: 330 Wirtschaft

description: Casajus, Kramm, and Wiese (2020, J. Econ. Theory 186, 104993) study the asymptotic stability in population dynamics derived from finite cooperative games with transferable utility using the Lovász-Shapley value (Casajus and Wiese, 2017, Int. J. Game Theory 45, 1-16) for non-negatively weighted games, where the players are interpreted as types of individuals. We extend their analysis to the population dynamics derived using the dual Lovász-Shapley value and the Shapley² value for non-negatively weighted games (Casajus and Kramm, HHL Working Paper 196, HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management, Leipzig, Germany). As the former, we provide a complete description of asymptotically stable population profiles in both dynamics. In the dual Lovász-Shapley replicator dynamic, for example, any asymptotically stable population profile is characterized by a coalition: while the types in the coalition have the same positive share, the other types vanish. In the dual of the game, the per-capita productivity of such a stable coalition must be greater than the per-capita productivity of any proper sub- or supercoalition. In simple monotonic games, this means that exactly the minimal blocking coalitions are stable.

description: Under the Forest Rights Act 2006, the government of India has recognised the Individual Forest Rights (IFR) of forest dwellers that formalise the de jure land tenure over forest land. This is expected to incentivise owners to invest and take better care of their forest land which, in turn, is assumed to improve households’ income and financial access and thereby reduce their food insecurity. Using the primary data collected from 300 IFR beneficiary households in Bankura district of the Indian state of West Bengal and the ordinal logistic regression model, this paper identifies and analyses the determinant factors influencing household food insecurity. Results show that larger IFR land size areas, higher education levels of the household head, and higher annual income are associated with a significant reduction in food insecurity. On the contrary, larger household sizes, higher dependency ratios, and the occurrence of crop damage are associated with a highly significant increase in food insecurity. Hence, it is suggested that in order to help reduce households’ food insecurity among forest dwellers in the state, the assignment of IFR land area of sufficient size to forest dwellers’ households may further be encouraged.

description: We study dynamical evolution of a resonant triple system formed by an inner EMRI and an additional outer MBH. The relevant resonant state (λ_2-\varpi_1 ~ const) is supported by the relativistic apsidal precession of the inner EMRI, and, unlike standard mean motion resonances, the triple system can have a hierarchical orbital configuration (but different from the Kozai process). In order to analyze this unusual resonant system, we extend the so-called Hamiltonian approach, and derive a mapping from the EMRI-MBH triple system to a simple one-dimensional Hamiltonian. With the derived mapping, we make analytical predictions for characteristic quantities of the resonance, such as the capture probability, and find that they reasonably agree with numerical simulations up to moderate eccentricities.

title: The Thermal and Physical Properties of Beef from Three USDA-Quality Grades Cooked to Multiple Degrees of Doneness
Creators: name: Hadfield, Jessica McClellan
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2019

description: The objective of this study was to determine the influence of quality grade (QG) and degree-of-doneness (DOD) on thermophysical properties of beef strip steaks. The “Prime” eating experience must be marketed to compete with cheaper protein sources, and so palatability is a major concern with beef products. Thermal and physical properties help shed light on the impacts various components have on beef palatability, mainly tenderness and juiciness. Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF) and the textural property of springiness are both influenced by a combination of QG and DOD. This is also true for viscoelasticity and the degradation of myosin and sarcoplasmic protein. Although many factors contribute to beef palatability, intra-muscular fat (IMF) content is usually given the most credit when presented to the consumer. However, QG only impacted raw steak weight, cooking duration, cohesiveness, and moisture interactions. DOD influenced more properties including cooking duration and cook loss percent conductivity, various textural properties, protein degradation (even before cooking), and moisture interactions. Generally speaking, these textural properties resulted in less favorable values as DOD increased, but that was not only the case. Thermal properties and protein degradation values simply showed unique differences between DOD (including refrigerated and room-temperature sampling) and did not always follow a trend. These results show that although over-cooking can be mitigated with high IMF content for tenderness, DOD has more of an effect on many of the palatability characteristics. Furthermore, more research will need to be conducted to fully understand the differences between some of our more intricate tests between QG and DOD.

description: The manufacturing of large-scale structural components is still dominated by manual labor in many sectors of the modern composite industry. Efforts are being made to establish an automated layup technology for complex structural elements. Processing dry non-crimp fiber fabrics (NCF) offers great cost opportunities and high deposition rates, compared to prepreg-based technologies like automated fiber placement (AFP). Here, the fabric architecture is considered during the draping of the plane textile on curved surfaces. In this paper, the development of a draping unit for balancing fabric tension and consolidating continuously across the layup width is presented. We introduce a geometrical process model to achieve a fabric-friendly draping of the used unidirectional NCF. The shape of the resulting draping front depends on the surface geometry, the shearing of the previously laid-up textile, and the positioning of the material feed. To consolidate the fabric at the altering draping front in an automated layup process, the shape of the continuous consolidation element can be controlled by the elongation of serial soft actuators, manipulated by parallel robot kinematics. The shape replication ability of the draping unit is promising for the implementation of a continuous, fabric-friendly draping process for complex surface geometries.

description: Worldwide, bioeconomy is promoted as an ‘engine for sustainable development’. However, increasingly, the notion that ‘the bioeconomy’ will facilitate sustainable development per se is challenged. Based on the assumption that when leaving the relations between ‘nature’ and ‘society’ unquestioned, inherent inequalities are rather reproduced than overcome, we draw upon a social-ecological framework to analyse the societal relations to nature in the Namibian bioeconomy. In Namibia, with independence, an array of different benefit-sharing mechanisms have been developed to implement local participatory governance structure, which will be further streamlined under the newly introduced access and benefit-sharing law. Results show that despite efforts to facilitate a diversity-based bioeconomy, separating structures and trade-offs are persistent. Images of ‘nature’, like the ‘eternal Namibian landscape’, that draw upon colonial notions are frequently used to market indigenous natural products. Institutions to ‘nature’ that guarantee fair and equitable terms of trade are often only short-term and/or small-scale, e.g. as shown at the case of Devil’s claw, Hoodia and Namibian Myrrh. Even when perspectives cannot be assigned in a stereotypical way between user and provider, and instead, all actors refer to biodiversity and traditional knowledge as ‘welfare of the people’, ‘cultural heritage’, ‘input for R&D’, ‘community benefit’, and ‘marketing tool’, a rational-instrumental reasoning tends to be favoured of a normative-ethical one. A more diversified awareness towards the dialectics entailed in the conception, making, and management of ‘nature’ potentially inhibiting an inclusive sustainable development is relevant at any theory–practice interface, including development project-management and environmental policy-making.

description: We present the first dynamical mass measurements for Lyman alpha galaxies at high redshift, based on velocity dispersion measurements from rest-frame optical emission lines and size measurements from HST imaging, for a sample of nine galaxies drawn from four surveys. These measurements enable us to study the nature of Lyman alpha galaxies in the context of galaxy scaling relations. The resulting dynamical masses range from 1e9 to 1e10 solar masses. We also fit stellar population models to our sample, and use them to plot the Lyman alpha sample on a stellar mass vs. line width relation. Overall, the Lyman alpha galaxies follow well the scaling relation established by observing star forming galaxies at lower redshift (and without regard for Lyman alpha emission), though in 1/3 of the Lyman alpha galaxies, lower-mass fits are also acceptable. In all cases, the dynamical masses agree with established stellarmass-linewidth relation. Using the dynamical masses as an upper limit on gas mass, we show that Lyman alpha galaxies resemble starbursts (rather than "normal" galaxies) in the relation between gas mass surface density and star formation activity, in spite of relatively modest star formation rates. Finally, we examine the mass densities of these galaxies, and show that their future evolution likely requires dissipational ("wet") merging. In short, we find that Lyman alpha galaxies are low mass cousins of larger starbursts.

description: This article establishes the multilevel perspective (MLP) as one of the main research approaches in transition research to study complex systemic change processes in socio-technical systems at different structural levels. The application of the MLP to the higher education system, especially to conceptualize the transition of universities towards a sustainable (regional) developmental role, is still in its infancy. Through using a descriptive narrative analysis of seminal articles, the results of the four-years cooperation within an expert working group, and own empirical findings, the present paper investigates the suitability of the MLP to study the transition of universities and university systems towards a sustainable developmental role in the regional context. Based on these investiga-tions, three further perspectives (which must be considered for establishing a more comprehensive understanding of the universities’ sustainable developmental role) are identified and conceptualized: (a) The target dimension of sustainable regional development, (b) the role of agency, and (c) the introduction of space and place to multiscalar regional transitions. Based on these perspectives, a future research agenda beyond the MLP is developed. © 2021 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.

description: The PRIsm MUti-object Survey (PRIMUS) is a spectroscopic galaxy redshift survey to z~1 completed with a low-dispersion prism and slitmasks allowing for simultaneous observations of ~2,500 objects over 0.18 square degrees. The final PRIMUS catalog includes ~130,000 robust redshifts over 9.1 sq. deg. In this paper, we summarize the PRIMUS observational strategy and present the data reduction details used to measure redshifts, redshift precision, and survey completeness. The survey motivation, observational techniques, fields, target selection, slitmask design, and observations are presented in Coil et al 2010. Comparisons to existing higher-resolution spectroscopic measurements show a typical precision of sigma_z/(1+z)=0.005. PRIMUS, both in area and number of redshifts, is the largest faint galaxy redshift survey completed to date and is allowing for precise measurements of the relationship between AGNs and their hosts, the effects of environment on galaxy evolution, and the build up of galactic systems over the latter half of cosmic history.

description: This article derives prognostic expressions for the evolution of globally aggregated economic wealth, productivity, inflation, technological change, innovation and growth. The approach is to treat civilization as an open, non-equilibrium thermodynamic system that dissipates energy and diffuses matter in order to sustain existing circulations and to further its material growth. Appealing to a prior result that established a fixed relationship between a very general representation of global economic wealth and rates of global primary energy consumption, physically derived expressions for economic quantities follow. The analysis suggests that wealth can be expressed in terms of the length density of civilization's networks and the availability of energy resources. Rates of return on wealth are accelerated by energy reserve discovery, improvements to human and infrastructure longevity, and a more common culture, or a lowering of the amount of energy required to diffuse raw materials into civilization's bulk. According to a logistic equation, rates of return are slowed by past growth, and if rates of return approach zero, such "slowing down" makes civilization fragile with respect to externally imposed network decay. If past technological change has been especially rapid, then civilization is particularly vulnerable to newly unfavorable conditions that might force a switch into a mode of accelerating collapse.

The transfer function approach aims at simplifying this problem: once the characteristics of the measurement setup are captured in a transfer function, the conducted characterization of the device under test (DUT) is sufficient to calculate the results of a radiation measurement. This is justified by the assumption that the radiation is mainly generated by the currents on the supply cables and the DUT is small compared to the smallest wavelength considered. Additionally, the DUT should behave linearly. In previous work [2] it was shown that a characterization of the DUT as a Norton equivalent source together with the scattering parameters of the measurement setup are sufficient to calculate the voltage at the received antenna in an anechoic chamber. In this work, the method is applied to a buck converter for both a GTEM cell and a fully-anechoic chamber setup.

description: In recent times, the management of football clubs has evolved into a notably intricate task, owing to their transformation into football enterprises and the influx of a rising multitude of stakeholders within the industry. The ability among clubs to handle this increased complexity varies, making the quality of management a key factor in whether they can cope with this complexity and have an advantage or a disadvantage in competition. This new 2023 edition of the FoMa Q-Score ranking builds on the framework established by ZÜLCH & PALME (2017), which comprehensively assesses management quality along four dimensions, namely Sporting Success, Financial Performance, Fan Welfare Maximization and Leadership & Governance, in order to perform a longitudinal and cross-sectional analysis of the German professional foot-ball clubs’ management quality. As attested by senior executives of prominent football clubs, these dimensions possess the capability to objectively measure pertinent success factors of a professional football club (CRUZ, SCHREGEL & Zülch, 2022). Ultimately, the performance across all dimensions, collectively termed as the FoMa Q-Score, serves as an objective measurement of a club's managerial excellence. Consequently, the FoMa Q-Score has gained firm traction as a well-established management tool both in academics and in practical application, partic-ularly accentuated by the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic. Its robust scholarly valid-ity was underscored by the inclusion of this tool in the esteemed "Sports, Business and Man-agement" journal in 2020. From a practical standpoint, it is evident that football managers with a vested interest have already started leveraging our findings, which comprehensively encapsulate the COVID-19 impacts on financial and non-financial aspects, as showcased in this latest, seventh edition. This enables them to discern actionable insights for benchmarking their club's frameworks, aiming to regain ground or uphold their competitive positions.

description: Adjacent cells communicate through gap junctions (GJs). These GJs are formed by head to head docking of two hemichannels (HCs) from two adjacent cells. HCs are connexin hexamer proteins. Connexin mutation is the most frequent cause of childhood hearing loss. This hearing impairment affects 2 in every 2000 children. Inhibition of the HCs might be the key factor to treat such disorders. A library of amphiphilic kanamycins was synthesized to be tested as HC inhibitors. These compounds showed excellent inhibition activity in comparison with the parent compound (kanamycin A) with less toxicity.

A library of monosaccharide esters with varying carbon chain lengths (acetyl (C2) to hexadecyl (C16)) were synthesized, characterized, and tested for bioactivity. Carbohydrate esters showed low toxicity while remaining active against bacteria and fungi. The compound 6-O-tetradecanoyl-D-mannopyranose (MAN014), a mannose ester with a fourteen-carbon chain, showed the greatest antibacterial and antifungal properties. A mode of action study was tested against Staphylococcus aureus (bacteria) and Fusarium graminearum (fungus) and found the compound perturbed the cell membrum.
Light cone quantization and interactions of a new closed bosonic string inspired to D1 string

description: We quantize the bosonic part of the D1 string with closed boundary conditions on the light cone and we consider the U(1) worldsheet gauge field a dynamical variable. We compute also 3-Reggeon vertex by the overlapping technique. We find that the Fock space is the sum of sectors characterized by the momentum of the U(1) Wilson line and that these sectors do not interact among them. Each sector has exactly the same spectrum of the usual bosonic string when expressed in properly sector dependent rescaled variables. Rescaling is forced by factorization of the string amplitudes. We are also able to determine the relative string coupling constant of the different sectors. It follows a somewhat unexpected picture in which the effective action is always the same independently on the sector but string amplitudes are only the same when expressed in sector dependent rescaled variables.

description: After the English-led invasion of Ireland, between 1169 and 1172, the country was run by Anglo-Irish lords—English and Welsh men gifted with Irish land and titles for their service to the English King. Of these families, the Butlers were one of the three most powerful in the country. The 3rd and 4th Earls of Ormond, both named James Butler, each held the highest title in Ireland, Lord Lieutenant, multiple times as well as being successful military leaders. Add to this a large income from all the wine revenues of the country, and the Butlers were a force to be reckoned with.

This thesis examines the Butlers in their seat of power, Kilkenny, to determine the connection between the two. It is apparent, by examining not only their policies but their surroundings, that the Butlers and Kilkenny had a mutually beneficial relationship. The Butlers profited from the extensive land they owned, the feudal nature of Ireland, and the trade in the city, and similarly helped the town prosper by building defensive fortifications, strengthening and expanding the city, and running the government efficiently. The actions of the Butlers and the town of Kilkenny prove that the Butlers were caught between the cultures of both England and Gaelic Ireland, as was typical of most of the Anglo-Irish ruling class.

description: We study the three dimensional SU(2)-symmetric noncompact CP1 model, with two charged matter fields coupled minimally to a noncompact Abelian gauge-field. The phase diagram and the nature of the phase transitions in this model have attracted much interest after it was proposed to describe an unusual continuous transition associated with deconfinement of spinons. Previously, it has been demonstrated for various two-component gauge theories that weakly first-order transitions may appear as continuous ones of a new universality class in simulations of relatively large, but finite systems. We have performed Monte-Carlo calculations on substantially larger systems sizes than those in previous works. We find that in some area of the phase diagram where at finite sizes one gets signatures consistent with a single first-order transition, in fact there is a sequence of two phase transitions with an O(3) paired phase sandwiched in between. We report (i) a new estimate for the location of a bicritical point and (ii) the first resolution of bimodal distributions in energy histograms at relatively low coupling strengths. We perform a flowgram analysis of the direct transition line with rescaling of the linear system size in order to obtain a data collapse. The data collapses up to coupling constants where we find bimodal distributions in energy histograms.

description: Plants minimize fitness losses through grazing by three fundamental strategies: tolerance, avoidance and escape. Annual species have been traditionally assumed to escape grazing through their short life cycle and seed dormancy; however, their grazing response strategies remain almost unexplored. How traits and their coordination affect species' grazing responses, and whether the generalized grazing model, which posits convergent filtering by grazing and drought, is applicable to this ecologically and economically important species group thus remain unclear. We used a trait-based approach to evaluate grazing response strategies of winter annuals from the Middle East. Across 23 species, we examined the coordination of 16 traits hypothesized to be relevant for grazing responses, and linked them to species' fecundity responses, as proxy for fitness responses, to simulated grazing in controlled conditions, to species' abundance responses to grazing in the field and to species' distribution along a large-scale rainfall gradient. Winter annuals exhibited both grazing escape and to a lesser extent tolerance indicated by (a) independent coordination of escape and tolerance traits, and (b) maintenance of higher fecundity in species with more pronounced escape or tolerance traits under simulated grazing. In the natural habitat, species with a more pronounced escape but not tolerance strategy maintained higher abundance under grazing in dry habitats, indicating convergent favouring of escape by both grazing and drought. However, this finding at the local scale was not mirrored by a strategy shift along a large-scale rainfall gradient. Synthesis. The convergent favouring of escape traits by grazing and drought in annuals is consistent with the generalized grazing model. This model, which has been developed for perennials based on the avoidance strategy, can thus be extended to annuals based on escape, a finding that should facilitate projecting consequences of global change in drylands dominated by annuals. © 2021 The Authors.

description: We briefly describe the importance of division algebras and Poincaré conjecture in both mathematical and physical scenarios. Mathematically, we argue that using the torsion concept one can combine the formalisms of division algebras and Poincaré conjecture. Physically, we show that both formalisms may be the underlying mathematical tools in special relativity and cosmology. Moreover, we explore the possibility that by using the concept of n-qubit system, such conjecture may allow generalization the Hopf maps.
