description: This PhD thesis aims to investigate the thermochemical conversion of biomass to two high-value platform chemicals, Levoglucosenone (LGO) and 5-chloromethyl furfural (5-CMF), in a fluidized bed reactor. Multiple systematic stages were employed in this study to investigate the changes in biomass's physical and chemical properties, including pretreatment, characterization using synchrotron-based THz spectroscopy, and lab-based in-situ DRIFTS. Based on the observed conditions, a continuous fluidized bed reactor system was constructed to generate platform chemicals from pretreated biomass using hydrogen chloride acid-gas as a catalyst. Thermochemical reaction with acid gas produced 5-CMF and enhanced the content of LGO.

Romanian Orthodox Church

description: The Romanian Orthodox Church (henceforth ROC) is an Eastern Christian denomination. It represents the largest religious group in Romania (86.45% in 2011). Although the first evidence of Christianization of modern-day Romanian territories (Lower Moesia) dates back to the 3rd century, this entry’s time span runs from the achievement of the status of autocephalous Metropolis of Romania in 1885 – following the creation of the Kingdom of Romania in 1881 – up to the present day. The Metropolis of Romania was eventually raised to the rank of Patriarchate (its current jurisdiction) in 1925. The ROC is structured in Romania (thus excluding its dioceses abroad) into twenty-nine dioceses, fourteen of which have been established since 1990 (seven have been just re-opened after the communist leadership had disbanded them and another seven have been newly established). The Patriarch is the head and representative of the Romanian Orthodox Church, but decision making is the prerogative of the Holy Synod, which meets twice per year. The Holy Synod, which is the highest authority of the ROC, is formed by six Metropolitanates, sixteen Archbishoprics and thirteen Bishoprics with jurisdiction in Romania, plus some representatives for Romanian Orthodox communities abroad, including the Republic of Moldova. On a local scale, Bishoprics and Archbishoprics are divided in Protopopiates and, eventually, in parishes, which are the smallest units (Tateo 2020: 62). The theological framework organizing the orthodoxy and the orthopraxis of the ROC is the same of the other eight Eastern Orthodox churches, which are all autocephalous but in full communion with one another. The Romanian Orthodox faithful worship with particular devotion Saint Nicholas, Saint Parascheva, Saint Filofteia, Saint Andrew, Saint George, Saints Constantin and Elena, and Saint Dimitrie. The Orthodox Easter is the most important feast day of the year, while weekly services revolve around the Sunday mass. Pilgrimage to monasteries is a crucial form of religious practice which gathers thousands of believers every year: the Saint Parascheva is the largest one and takes place at the Metropolitan Cathedral of Iaşi on October 14th. The most popular Orthodox monasteries in Romania are Putna, Moldoviţa, Suceviţa, Voroneţ, Prislop, Cernica, and Sihastria. Source: Tateo, G. 2020. Under the Sign of the Cross.

High Quality Acoustic Time History Measurements of Rotor Harmonic Noise in Confined Spaces
Creators: name: Sutton, Christopher Michael
Publisher: name: Digital Repository at the University of Maryland
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Aerospace engineering

description: A methodology has been developed and presented to enable the use of small to medium scale acoustic hover facilities for the quantitative measurement of rotor impulsive noise. The methodology was applied to the University of Maryland Acoustic Chamber resulting in accurate measurements of High Speed Impulsive (HSI) noise for rotors running at tip Mach numbers between 0.65 and 0.85 – with accuracy increasing as the tip Mach number was increased.  Several factors contributed to the success of this methodology including:

•	High Speed Impulsive (HSI) noise is characterized by very distinct pulses radiated from the rotor.  The pulses radiate high frequency energy – but the energy is contained in short duration time pulses.

•	The first reflections from these pulses can be tracked (using ray theory) and, through adjustment of the microphone position and suitably applied acoustic treatment at the reflected surface, reduced to small levels.  A computer code was developed that automates this process.  The code also tracks first bounce reflection timing, making it possible to position the first bounce reflections outside of a measurement window.

•	Using a rotor with a small number of blades (preferably one) reduces the number of interfering first bounce reflections and generally improves the measured signal fidelity.

The methodology will help the gathering of quantitative hovering rotor noise data in less than optimal acoustic facilities and thus enable basic rotorcraft research and rotor blade acoustic design.

description: Background: Aphasia camps are an emerging psychosocial approach focusing on re-engaging people with aphasia in recreational and social activities. Current research highlights the positive impacts of aphasia camps on both attendees (people with aphasia and their loved ones) and facilitators (student and professional volunteers). However, the characteristics and facilitation of camps remain unknown due to a paucity of published research.Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore the current scope of aphasia camps including their distribution, structure, and preparation requirements.Method: A mixed-method, cross-sectional exploratory survey was employed to facilitate collection of various camp characteristics. Quantitative data were analyzed via descriptive statistics, and qualitative data were analyzed via inductive content analysis.Results: Who: The respondents (N = 14) predominantly identified as allied health professionals (n = 12) and were representative of 10 camps. Camps were commonly affiliated with a university or association. Where: Camps were located in the United States (n = 5), Canada (n = 3), Australia (n = 1), and one cruise ship. All camps were held annually, with most having been operating between 10 and 15 years. How: Camp preparations tended to commence 10–12 months before the event. The camps were predominantly funded by the attendees, with half utilizing community grants, and no camps received government support. The typical camp ran over 3 days/two nights and had over 20 people with aphasia attend; however, the schedule was highly varied in structure and types of activities.Conclusions: Aphasia camps are highly diverse in structure, operation, and activities. Further research is needed to investigate stakeholder experiences and sustainable implementation practices to continue promoting the development of aphasia camps around the world.Supplemental Material S1.

Nyingma (rnying ma), also known as “Ancient”
Creators: name: Kelley, Justin
Publisher: name: Database of Religious History (DRH)
Year: 2023

description: The Nyingma, or “Ancient” lineage refers to the oldest of the four major lineages of Tibetan Buddhism. Distinguished from followers of the later Sarma (Tibetan: gsar ma) lineages, which includes the Kadam, Sakya, Kagyu, and later Gelug, Nyingma refers to those who adhere to the earliest (pre-tenth century) translations of Buddhist teachings arriving in Tibet, as well as a series of treasure (T: gter ma) text revealed from the eleventh century onwards. Renowned for their adherence to a range of esoteric, predominantly tantric Buddhist practices, as well as unorthodox behavior, Nyingma followers served as motivation for periodic reforms throughout Tibetan history, each allegedly “returning” to the ethical roots and meditative discipline of Indian Buddhism. According to the Nyingma lineage, the primordial teacher is Samantabhadra (T: kun tu bzang po). Depicted without clothing and vivid blue in color, he represents the untainted wisdom of the all Buddhas of the three times and ten directions. In human form, the Nyingma lineage finds its roots in the Indian master Padmasambhava (T: pad+ma 'byung gnas) who is credited with introducing the first coherent and comprehensive presentation of the Buddhist path to Tibet. He is often referenced along with Shantarakshita (Sansrkit: Śāntarakṣita), the great Indian pandit, and Vairotsana (T: bai ro tsa na), the great translator, delineating the three most important early Nyingma thinkers. The historical center of the lineage is found in Samye (T: bsam yas) monastery in central Tibet. Constructed in the eighth century, Samye monastery was the first successfully constructed monastery in Tibet. After years of wrestling with demons, King Trisong Detsen (T: khri srong lde btsan), requested Padmasambhava to subjugate the antagonistic demon, which he did, and the monastery was miraculously completed overnight. Renowned today for their erudite descriptions of the Great Completeness (T: rdzogs pa chen po) meditative system, the Nyingma lineage experienced a resurgence in the fourteenth century with the renowned scholar-yogi Longchen Rabjam (T: klong chen rab ‘byams). Longchenpa, as he is commonly referred to, both revealed new treasure teachings and consolidated much of the existent tantric materials found within the early Nyingma lineage. His extensive writings on topics such as the nine vehicles (T: theg pa dgu; a defining religious shema of the Nyingma, the subtle body, meditation practice, and most importantly the Great Completeness, revived the Nyingma lineage during and after his life. Extending across the Tibetan plateau to include all three Tibetan states (Utsang, Kham, and Amdo), as well as Bhutan and modern-day Indian state of Ladakh, the Nyingma lineage flourished in many sub-lineages throughout the centuries, resulting in a vibrant array of contemplative and scholarly practices.
BATTERY POWERED PORTABLE VAPOR COMPRESSION CYCLE SYSTEM WITH PCM CONDENSER

description: A battery powered air-conditioning device was developed to provide an improved thermal comfort level for individuals in inadequately cooled environments. This device is a battery powered air-conditioning system with the phase change material (PCM) for heat storage. The condenser heat is stored in the PCM during the cooling operation and is discharged while the battery is charged by using the vapor compression cycle as a thermosiphon loop.  The main focus of the current research was on the development of the cooling system. The cooling capacity of the vapor compression cycle measured was 165.6 W with system COP at 2.85. It was able to provide 2 hours cooling without discharging heat to the ambient. The PCM was recharged in nearly 8 hours under thermosiphon mode.
title: In vivo and in vitro characterisation of bacterial DedA proteins
Creators: name: Batson, Matthew Christopher
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2024

description: The DedA protein superfamily is a group of integral membrane proteins distributed throughout eukaryotes, prokaryotes and archaea. The function of some DedA proteins has been elucidated, an example of which is the link of numerous eukaryotic DedA homologues with phospholipid transport. The role of the prokaryotic DedA proteins is more complex and the overarching function of these proteins less understood, but potential roles in antimicrobial resistance, phospholipid transport, PMF maintenance, Na+/H+ transport and heavy metal transport have been indicated. Deletion of DedA genes results in a range of pleiotropic phenotypes in numerous bacterial species e.g. Escherichia coli K-12 (E. coli K-12), Burkholderia thailandensis (B. thailandensis), Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) and Borrelia burgdorferi (B. burgdorferi).

Phylogenetic analysis of the DedA proteins present in numerous bacterial species demonstrated that the DedA were widespread in pathogenic, non-pathogenic and symbiotic species. Analysis of 272 E. coli genomes displayed that 6 of the 8 E. coli K-12 homologues were completely conserved amongst these genomes, with only ydjX and ydjZ absent in 37. Amino acid sequence analysis of YqjA in pathogenic and non-pathogenic E. coli species highlighted that YqjA is remarkably well conserved for a membrane protein, and that potentially mutations in YqjA are not well tolerated.

Deletion of yqjA in E. coli str. BW25113 results in cells that could not grow in media of pH 9.25 at 37 °C but could at 30 °C, suggestive that the alkaline sensitivity at pH 9.25 previously described for this strain is temperature dependent. BW25113ΔyqjA and BW25113ΔyqjAΔyqhB were also found to exhibit alkalinisation of the cytoplasm when exposed to growth media of alkaline pH of 9.25. Mutational analysis highlighted the potential roles of amino acid residues S52, L53 and L117 in the ability of YqjA to restore growth to BW25113ΔyqjA at pH 9.25. Additionally, in vitro inverted membrane vesicle assays suggest that YqjA is capable of Na+/H+ transport. A significant increase in membrane fluidity was seen in BW25113ΔyqjAΔyqhB, possibly due to roles of YqjA and YghB in phospholipid transport.

Overexpression of several DedA genes was able to restore growth to BW25113ΔyqjAΔyqhB in a non-permissive temperature of 42 °C and low sodium conditions. The DedA genes were overexpressed, DedA proteins isolated from the cell membrane and analysed by SEC. The main finding of this work was that 7 of the 8 the DedA genes tested could be overexpressed using the pBAD and pET vectors and isolated using DDM or DM, but a number of the proteins when analysed by SEC were unstable in solution after membrane extraction.

description: Se ha vuelto común pensar en América Latina cuando se habla sobre desigualdad. Brechas de acceso a servicios públicos, concentración de capital, distribución asimétrica de riesgos y costos ambientales o exclusión de grupos humanos debido a su origen étnico o su identidad de género son temas recurrentes en las discusiones sobre desarrollo y democracia en la región. Si bien en la primera década del siglo XXI se experimentó una contracción progresiva de las asimetrías de ingresos (CEPAL, 2013), esto solo abarca un aspecto limitado de la desigualdad y al final de la segunda década del presente siglo, América Latina sigue manteniéndose como la región más desigual del mundo (CEPAL, 2018). Esto es particularmente llamativo en la Región Andina, un espacio con procesos económicos, políticos, sociales y ecológicos específicos dentro de Latinoamérica, pero vinculados a procesos globales. Esta región experimentó un boom económico sin precedentes en la primera década del siglo XXI y posee algunas de las economías más importantes de América Latina como Argentina, Colombia y Chile (World Bank, 2018), pese a lo cual mantiene graves disparidades económicas, sociales y políticas. Por ello, consideramos necesario retomar los debates sobre los distintos tipos de desigualdades, tal como ocurrió con la primera edición de CROLAR hace siete años. En aquel primer volumen, los artículos nos brindaron una perspectiva global sobre América Latina y nos invitaron a pensar sobre la definición misma de la región, su lugar en procesos globales y temas centrales como pobreza, derechos y democracia (CROLAR, 2012). Directa e indirectamente, problemas relacionados con justicia social, inclusión, democracia y desarrollo han sido tratados en otras ediciones de CROLAR, en las que la atención se ha centrado en temas específicos: tecnología, cultura, género, entre otros. La presente edición busca volver a poner el foco en la desigualdad como un fenómeno multidimensional y persistente en los países latinoamericanos, pero principalmente andinos.

Catholics in the People's Republic of China (PRC)

description: This group includes all Catholics in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) (i.e. mainland China, excluding Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau) from its founding in 1949 to the present. It includes believers who participate in the registered (or "above ground") part of the church as well as the unregistered (or "underground") part of the church, and those in both urban and rural locations. In 1949, when the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) led by Chairman Mao Zedong defeated the Nationalist Party (KMT), and established the PRC, there were an estimated four million Catholics in China. Whereas the KMT government supported them and had established diplomatic relations with the Vatican, the CCP (even before 1949) had begun to persecute Catholics as agents of foreign imperialism. Broader CCP efforts to eradicate all religion in favor of Marxist atheism began in the 1950s. Fr. Beda Chang (Zhang Boda 张伯达), the first Catholic martyr under CCP rule, was martyred in 1951. After resisting CCP pressure, a large group of Catholics in Shanghai, including its first Chinese bishop, Ignatius Kung Pin-mei (Gong Pinmei 龔品梅), was arrested in 1955. In 1957 the government established the Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association (CCPA), a government body responsible for ensuring compliance with the demand that the Church in China must be “independent” and self-sustaining, with no official ties to the Vatican or the Pope. A percentage of clergy accepted these demands, and formed the state-approved official, or “above-ground” church, while the majority of Catholics, who rejected these demands as incompatible with the Catholic faith, became known as the unofficial, or “underground” Church. The CCPA began orchestrating the appointment of bishops without papal approval, which continued until 2018, when a controversial agreement between the Holy See and the PRC government was signed. Since 2018, the government has continued to pressure underground clergy to agree to a separation, or “independence” from the Holy See. During the Cultural Revolution (1966-76), all perceived political enemies of Mao were persecuted, and believers of all religions, including official and underground Christians were killed or suffered mental or physical mistreatment. After Mao’s death, official churches reopened, but still under the CCPA’s oversight. To the surprise of many, the number of Christians had grown during these silent years, and continued to expand from the 1980s to the present. Today China has an estimated 10-12 million Catholics, and many more Protestant Christians.

Substance Use and Academic Outcomes among High School Seniors: Examining the Influence of Emotional Academic Engagement
Creators: name: Bugbee, Brittany
Publisher: name: Digital Repository at the University of Maryland
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Public health
subject: Secondary education

description: Substance use is prevalent among adolescents, with two-thirds trying alcohol and half trying an illicit drug by twelfth grade (Miech et al., 2015). Substance use is known to affect academic performance. This study utilized nationally representative data from the 2013 Monitoring the Future twelfth grade survey to examine the relationships between substance use, skipping school, grades, and academic engagement. One-quarter of respondents (26%) had never used a substance. The majority (67%) had used at least one substance during the past year. Substance use during their lifetime but not during the past year was uncommon (7%). Lifetime non-users were less likely than past-year users to skip school during the past month and to have low grades. Lifetime non-users also had greater academic self-efficacy and emotional academic engagement relative to past-year users. These findings underscore the importance of screening and intervention for substance use to promote academic achievement and adolescent wellbeing.

description: Research on the criminological side of system trespassing (i.e. unlawfully gaining access to a computer system) is relatively rare and has yet to examine the effect of the presence of other users on the system during the trespassing event (i.e. the time of communication between a trespasser’s system and the infiltrated system).  This thesis seeks to analyze this relationship drawing on principles of Situational Crime Prevention, Routine Activities Theory, and restrictive deterrence.  Data were collected from a randomized control trial of target computers deployed on the Internet network of a large U.S. university.  This study examined whether the number (one or multiple) and type (administrative or non-administrative) of computer users present on a system reduced the seriousness and frequency of trespassing.  Results indicated that the type of user (administrative) produced a restrictive deterrent effect and significantly reduced the frequency and duration of trespassing events.

description: Traditional air delivery to high-bay buildings involves ceiling level supply and return ducts that create an almost-uniform temperature in the space. Problems with this system include potential recirculation of supply air and higher-than-necessary return air temperatures. A new air delivery strategy was investigated that involves changing the height of conventional supply and return ducts to have control over thermal stratification in the space. A full-scale experiment using ten vertical temperature profiles was conducted in a manufacturing facility over one year. The experimental data was utilized to validated CFD and EnergyPlus models. CFD simulation results show that supplying air directly to the occupied zone increases stratification while holding thermal comfort constant during the cooling operation. The building energy simulation identified how return air temperature offset, set point offset, and stratification influence the building’s energy consumption. A utility bill analysis for cooling shows 28.8% HVAC energy savings while the building energy simulation shows 19.3 – 37.4% HVAC energy savings.

description: This new issue of CROLAR – Critical Reviews on Latin American Research- is dedicated to music in Latin America, its "Sound and Dissonance." From salsa in the Caribbean carnaval in Brazil, or to tango in Argentina, to mention a few examples, music has always been inherent to what it means to be "Latin American," sometimes creating stereotypes that can be very hard to overcome. But what does music really mean to Latin America? How can music express a national identity and at the same time connect us to other realities? These are some of the initial questions when putting together this issue, and the submitted reviews help us further the debate.

description: In the absence of a coherent and convincing narrative of hope, new protagonists and their solidly responsible forms of imagining and struggling for livable futures enter the stages of parliaments, social media platforms and public spaces in cities around the world. It is precisely such spirit of collective solidarity, facing multiple crises at once, that links indigenous struggles over land and environment with the young people of the climate strike movement, as Brum has it, the “first generation without hope.” This leads to the overarching question of this theme issue: Who are the protagonists of Latin American futures? Who is imagining, writing, narrating such futures – how, when and where? In this CROLAR theme issue, we map protagonists of Latin American futures, both human and non-human, looking at the ways in which they act, create, and think futures.

description: Life Cycle Climate Performance (LCCP) is an evaluation method by which heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration systems can be evaluated for their global warming impact over the course of their complete life cycle. LCCP is more inclusive than previous metrics such as Total Equivalent Warming Impact. It is calculated as the sum of direct and indirect emissions generated over the lifetime of the system “from cradle to grave”. Direct emissions include all effects from the release of refrigerants into the atmosphere during the lifetime of the system. This includes annual leakage and losses during the disposal of the unit. The indirect emissions include emissions from the energy consumption during manufacturing process, lifetime operation, and disposal of the system. This thesis proposes a standardized approach to the use of LCCP and traceable data sources for all aspects of the calculation. An equation is proposed that unifies the efforts of previous researchers. Data sources are recommended for average values for all LCCP inputs. A residential heat pump sample problem is presented illustrating the methodology. The heat pump is evaluated at five U.S. locations in different climate zones. An excel tool was developed for residential heat pumps using the proposed method. The primary factor in the LCCP calculation is the energy consumption of the system. The effects of advanced vapor compression cycles are then investigated for heat pump applications. Advanced cycle options attempt to reduce the energy consumption in various ways. There are three categories of advanced cycle options: subcooling cycles, expansion loss recovery cycles and multi-stage cycles. The cycles selected for research are the suction line heat exchanger cycle, the expander cycle, the ejector cycle, and the vapor injection cycle. The cycles are modeled using Engineering Equation Solver and the results are applied to the LCCP methodology. The expander cycle, ejector cycle and vapor injection cycle are effective in reducing LCCP of a residential heat pump by 5.6%, 8.2% and 10.5%, respectively in Phoenix, AZ. The advanced cycles are evaluated with the use of low GWP refrigerants and are capable of reducing the LCCP of a residential heat by 13.7%, 16.3% and 18.6% using a refrigerant with a GWP of 10. To meet the U.S. Department of Energy’s goal of reducing residential energy use by 40% by 2025 with a proportional reduction in all other categories of residential energy consumption, a reduction in the energy consumption of a residential heat pump of 34.8% with a refrigerant GWP of 10 for Phoenix, AZ is necessary. A combination of advanced cycle, control options and low GWP refrigerants are necessary to meet this goal.

description: This thesis examines the intersections of gay and bisexual identity with body size, or fatness. Gay and bisexual identity and fatness are marginalized social identities that seem to be incompatible (Bond, 2013). While a sense of collective identity with the gay and bisexual community has been shown to be a protective factor against internalized homonegativity in gay and bisexual men (Halpin & Allen, 2004), the degree to which this protective factor persists for fat people in an anti-fat environment like the gay and bisexual community (Wrench & Knapp, 2008) has not been explored. This intersection of identities and anti-fat culture seemed to suggest there might be a relationship between fatness and internalized homophobia. Fatness did not moderate the relationship between sense of belonging to the gay and bisexual community and internalized homonegativity, but a significant positive relationship was found between belongingness to the gay and bisexual community and body shame.

Fig. 5, 6a–c
1962 Dolerocypris? marfinensis n. sp. —Krömmelbein, p. 489–490, pl. 58, fig. 38.
Diagnosis: A species placed only with great reservations in Dolerocypris, with a rather rounded triangular lateral outline of the carapace and with a distinctive sculpture consisting of finer or coarser little ridges, which run approximately parallel to the valve margins, but which can branch out and disperse, particularly marginally, into an irregular network. In the area of the central muscle field and laterally below the dorsal line the sculpture can be very weakly developed or can be almost completely absent. The ventral curvature-slope of the ventral side of both valves can appear ridged.
Holotype: Carapace, SMF Xe 4248.
Paratypes: 3 carapaces under SMF Xe 4249.
Dimensions: Holotype, length 0.78mm, height 0.47mm.
Remarks (Bate et al. herein): This species was placed into the genus Petrobrasia by Krömmelbein (1965a). Note that Krömmelbein in his paper incorrectly dated Cypris fasciata, type species of Dolerocypris, as 1785 when it is O.F. Müller (1776).
Remark (Bate et al. herein): In Krömmelbein (1962) at this point nine earlier taxa of ‘ Metacypris ’, Gomphocythere, Darwinula are figured, material SMF Xe 4250–4258; not imaged in the present paper.

title: The Role of the Global Coalition for Africa in Human Resource Development and Capacity Building
Creators: name: Evans, David R.
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 1991
Subjects: subject: Education; Human Resource Development

description: This report analyses the education component of the Human Resource Development sector in order to recommend specific activities which take advantage of the capabilities of the Global Coalition for Africa (GCA). The paper looks at four sector-wide options and two sub-sector options, chosen because of the potential benefits from GCA involvement in them. The four sector-wide options are: 1) Increasing government support for Human Resource Development. 2) Diversifying the Supply of Educational Services. 3) Formulation of National Education Policy, and 4) Rationalization of High-Level Meetings. Of the four the best option for GCA is the first, which enables GCA to use its reputation and access to advocate for human development with national leaders. The sub-sector options discussed are 1) Vocational Education and Skill Training, and 2) Higher Education. Both of these areas need consensus building and coordination of development efforts. GCA could usefully promote both these areas in the second and third years of their program, after having highlighted the critical importance of human development in the first year. There are four international organizations with which GCA can collaborate as partners: 1) the Task Force of Donors to African Education, 2) the African Capacity Building Initiative, 3) UNDP’s National Long-Term Perspective Studies, and 4) UNESCO. GCA needs to establish liaison and mutual understanding with all four, but can be most productive by undertaking joint activities with the Donors to African Education during its first three years. The report outlines three possible levels of GCA involvement in the human development sector. Two annexes are included: Annex A describes the organization of the Donors to African Education and the activities of their working groups. Annex B contains an analysis of higher education in Africa and the activities of the major donors. More detailed recommendations for GCA Activities are contained in the accompanying memorandum “GCA Work Program in Human Resources Development and Capacity Building.”

description: The American woodcock (Scolopax minor) population  index in North America has declined 0.9% a year since 1968 prompting managers to identify priority information and management needs for the species (Sauer et al 2008).  Managers identified a need for a population model that better informs on the status of American woodcock populations (Case et al. 2010). Population reconstruction techniques use long-term age-at-harvest data and harvest effort to estimate abundances with error estimates. Four new models were successfully developed using survey data (1999 to 2013).  The optimal model estimates sex specific harvest probability for adult females at 0.148 (SE = 0.017) and all other age-sex cohorts at 0.082 (SE = 0.008) for the most current year 2013.  The model estimated a yearly survival rate of 0.528 (SE = 0.008).  Total abundance ranged from 5,206,000 woodcock in 2007 to 6,075,800 woodcock in 1999.  This study represents the first population estimates of woodcock populations.
