Baboon and Vervet Monkey Crop-Foraging Behaviors on a Commercial South African Farm: Preliminary Implications for Damage Mitigation

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Conflict between crop farmers and wild nonhuman primates is a worldwide conservation issue of increasing concern. Most of the research on wild primate crop foraging has so far focused on the conflicts with subsistence agriculture. Crop damage caused by primate foraging in large-scale commercial agriculture is also a major facet of human–wildlife conflict. Despite its increasing severity, there are very few published accounts of on-farm wild primate crop-foraging behavior or effective techniques to deter primates from field crops on commercial farms. To address this knowledge gap and identify some mitigation strategies, we used direct observation from a hide to collect behaviors and interspecific interactions between chacma baboons (Papio ursinus; baboons) and vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus pygerythrus; vervets) foraging in a 1-ha butternut squash (Cucurbita moschata) field for 4 months (May to August) in 2013 on a 564-ha commercial farm in the Blouberg District of South Africa. Baboons caused the most crop damage, foraged on crops more in the mornings, and their rates of crop foraging were influenced primarily by natural vegetation productivity. Vervet monkey rates of crop foraging were primarily influenced by the presence of baboons. When baboons or vervets visited the farm, half of the visits did not involve crop foraging, and vervets were more likely to crop forage when they visited than baboons. Based on this preliminary study, we make recommendations for crop farmers to improve the effectiveness of current deterrent methods. These include increasing deterrent efforts when natural vegetation drops below a normalized difference vegetation index value of 0.32, especially during the hours before midday, chasing baboons and vervets farther from the farm rather than just out of crop fields, and increasing the perceived mortality risk of field guards. These recommendations should be evaluated to determine effectiveness before being adopted on a wider scale.

W XVIII wieku europejska scena polityczna została zdominowana przez imperialistyczną rywalizację między Wielką Brytanią, Francją i Hiszpanią, która wpłynęła na szybki rozwój Królewskich Marynarek Wojennych tych krajów. Walka o panowanie nad światem stymu- lowała postęp technologiczny, gospodarczy i militarny, jednak z drugiej strony zjawisko to wywołało olbrzymie zapotrzebowanie na surowce naturalne, jak metale szlachetne i inne materiały potrzebne do prowadzenia wojny morskiej, zwłaszcza żelazo, drewno, smołę, ży- wicę, konopie i płótno lniane. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest pokazanie znaczenia zasobów leśnych pochodzących z hinterlandu południowego Bałtyku (dziś tereny Niemiec, Polski, Rosji i Litwy), których obfite lasy były głównym źródłem budulca w budownictwie okrę- towym. Bazę dokumentalną tekstu stanowią rejestry sundzkie, gdzie została przeanalizo- wana żegluga pomiędzy południowym Bałtykiem i Hiszpanią oraz dane uzyskane podczas kwerend archiwalnych w Polsce i Hiszpanii, które miały za cel przedstawienie dowodów na istnienie bezpośredniego handlu drewnem nie tylko z Holandią, Wielką Brytanią, Francją i Skandynawią lecz również z innymi, odległymi regionami europejskimi jak miało to miej- sce w przypadku drewna z południowego Bałtyku (zwłaszcza z obecnych polskich portów w Gdańsku i Szczecinie), które trafiło do hiszpańskich departamentów marynarki wojennej w XVIII wieku.
Coverage Criteria for Testing Web Applications

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

As web applications evolve and their usage increases, their complexity also increases, thus creating a great demand for techniques and tools to ensure well-tested, reliable applications. While program-based coverage and fault detection capability can be used to measure the quality of test suites, the dynamic characteristics of web applications motivate additional criteria to complement these traditional test adequacy criteria. This paper presents novel dynamic coverage criteria customized for web applications—criteria intended for testing at a page level. Based on a changing universe of test requirements, as indicated by evolving usage of the application, our criteria avoid the difficulties of building an accurate static model of a web application’s structure. We define a class of dynamic coverage criteria, present the subsumption relation among them, and describe two case studies to demonstrate their usefulness. Among other possible uses, the proposed criteria can be used to compare the quality of test suites, to select test cases, and to examine how usage of a web application changes over time. The proposed criteria complement traditional program coverage and fault detection capability criteria. 1.
Investment in electricity generation under emissions price uncertainty : the plant-type decision

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

This paper investigates the effects of uncertain emissions prices on the plant-type investment decision of an electricity generating firm. It is assumed that the firm faces an investment deadline and is deciding between "clean" and "dirty" generating alternatives, with the dirty option being more profitable in the absence of emissions regulation. Two models are presented in which the policy variable, the carbon dioxide (CO2) price, is assumed to evolve according to two different stochastic processes, each representing a different degree of possible future government intervention. In the first, the emissions cap is assumed fixed and certain, and CO2 permit prices evolve according to a geometric Brownian motion, and in the second it is assumed that the government may alter the cap at some point in the future, and CO2 prices are modelled as following a combined Poisson-geometric Brownian motion. The models employ real options analysis and the firm's decision is couched as an optimal stopping problem in which the continuation region is characterized by the default decision of replacing the dying coal plant with a new dirty unit. The models are solved for the critical permit price, τ*, at which the construction of a clean plant rather than a dirty one becomes optimal, and the dependence of the models’ solutions on the parameter values chosen is demonstrated. The results indicate that uncertainty leads to a delay in investment generally, and a reduction in clean-unit construction. It is shown that this delay is more pronounced in the jump-diffusion scenario, when emissions caps can be altered in the future, than in the geometric Brownian motion setting, when the emissions cap is assumed fixed.
GROWTH HORMONE AND RADIO-SULFATE INCORPORATION IN COSTAL CARTILAGE

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

ABSTRACT The characteristics and nature of the effect of growth hormone on the incorporation of radio-sulfate into the costal cartilage of hypophysectomized rats has been studied. The time-response studies indicate that a reliable estimation of growth hormone activity can be ascertained within a 24 hour period, and a reproducible dose-related response can be obtained at dosage levels ranging from 12-48 μg. Growth hormone stimulates the synthesis of organic sulfates and accumulation of inorganic sulfates within 48 hours.
Joined-Up Government, `Community Safety' and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender `Active Citizens'

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Joined-up government, modernizing government, community safety and multi-agency partnerships are explored here in an attempt to understand the contemporary `policing' of hate crime; in this instance, crimes and incidents motivated by homophobia (and transphobia). In the first half of the article, the focus is on the social and political context of the emergence of `participatory' modes of government and multi-agency `community safety' policing in response to the 1998 Crime and Disorder Act and the 1999 Local Government Act. In the second half of the article, the focus will be on the multi-agency response to homo-phobic and transphobic incidents and the policing of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (lgbt) community in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. In this case study, the main assumptions behind the attempt to create lgbt `active citizens' and `active communities' (active in their own policing) in Southampton, in particular, will be critically evaluated. The main points that will be raised here are: 1) the multi-agency response to homophobic incidents in Southampton prioritizes, first, improving efficiency and raising awareness in the agencies and services that are in contact with the lgbt community, and, second, opening lines of communication and building trust between police and the organizations and agencies `representing' the lgbt community; and 2)empowerment programmes such as these should not be taken at face value, but must be critically examined in relation to some of the following questions: who is and who is not being invited to be the active `lgbt' citizen here? And does the lgbt community's right to fair, sympathetic and equitable policing bring with it hidden and costly responsibilities?
Influence of Solid Electrolyte of Metal and Metal Oxide Electrode for High Temperature Water Environment

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract We have developed an integrated reference electrode (RE), which design was based on a metal and metal oxide (M/O) RE, for nuclear reactor environment monitoring. Although a traditional M/O RE has been used in laboratory and actual reactor environments, it has low mechanical durability and high operation temperature. We cannot utilize it for long term monitoring at a wide range of temperatures. So, we selected a combination of Ni/NiO as a suitable solid electrolyte of integrated RE because the potential of Ni/NiO RE was independent of the ratio of Ni to NiO. We composed an integrated RE prototype with sputter - deposited NiO and yttria stabilized zirconia thin films on the Ni disk. A pH response of the integrated RE prototype was observed in buffer solutions (pH 4.01, 6.92, 9.26) at room temperature. We found that the integrated RE prototype can operate at room temperature and has little sensitivity to the redox condition.

Respiratory Problems Associated with Head Trauma

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Respiratory problems occur commonly in association with severe head injury. Seven easily measured parameters for the diagnosis of respiratory insufficiency are outlined. Certain central and peripheral causes of insufficient ventilation are analyzed, including head trauma and drug overdose as central sources and aspiration, pulmonary edema, disseminated intravascular coagulopathy, fat embolism, chest trauma and iatrogenic complications as peripheral causes. Establishment of the diagnosis and management of the problems within each category are discussed.

[Subjective and objective evaluation of the experimental fixed upper airways obturation].

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Investigations were carried out on 10 healthy volunteers. The subjective and objective--with spirometry--airway flow was evaluated under normal conditions and after artificial narrowing of the respiratory tract. For contraction--8 pipes were used with surface section of 78.5 to 12.56 sq mm placed between mouthpiece of the device and the examined. The investigations were carried out in repose. The intensified and free flow was examined. In case of obturation of the respiratory tract characteristic changes are being observed earlier in objective than in the subjective evaluation of the patient. The changes concern the flattening of the volume flow curve and lowering of flow parameters (in sequences: PIF, PEF, FIV1, and FEV1). After application of large contractions, quotient FEV1max./FEV1free and FIV1max./FIV1free dropped several times 2 to 3. In respiration through large narrowing greater discomfort was observed in free flow than in the intensified one.
Novel Anticancer Capacities of Saffron

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Thanks to poor diagnosis and very limited treatment options, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) continues to lead the list of cancer-leading causes of death worldwide. Therefore, alternative therapy is crucial to control HCC. Our group has investigated the anticancer effects of the saffron’s main active ingredient “safranal” against HCC using in vitro, in silico, and network analyses. In addition to the unique and differential cell cycle arrest, safranal showed pro-apoptotic effect through activation of both intrinsic and extrinsic initiator caspases implicating ER stress-mediated apoptosis. Gene set enrichment analysis provided consistent findings where unfolded protein response (UPR) was among the top terms in up-regulated genes in response to safranal treatment. Thus, proteins involved in ER stress and autophagy were regulated through safranal treatment to induce UPR and autophagy-mediated cell death in HepG2 cells.
"Lawes of the Forrest" : mapping violence on the female bodyscape in "Titus Andronicus"

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This paper discusses the defi nition of the forest as a space regulated by the repetitive act of appropriation on the part of the royal authority as well as the correspondences between the rhetoric of forest possession and the construction of another locus communis for the political use of nature, i.e. female body. Spatialization/naturalization of the female body in William Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus is introduced with the use of the interlocking imaginary topographies of “feminized” topography of Rome and that of the forest as a whore. It is between these two that the politicized female bodies of Lavinia and Tamora oscillate, mapped in language as bodyscapes, onto which violence of “lawes of the forrest” is inscribed.
Demographics and Behaviour

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Abstract Using a unique experimental subject pool, I analyse the behaviour of subjects in a life-cycle consumption experimental task. As in previous experiments, it is clear that different subjects solve the task differently - some having strategies close to the fully optimal and others using simple heuristics. The nature of my subject pool enables me to see if there is any link between the strategies employed by the subjects and their demographic characteristics. I also explore whether the parameters in the task influence the chosen strategy. I find little systematic demographic influence. The results of the paper have an important message concerning the representativeness of typical subject pools used in economics experiments.
MIAWARE SOFTWARE - 3D Medical Image Analysis with Automated Reporting Engine and Ontology-based Search

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

This article presents MIAWARE, a software for Medical Image Analysis With Automated Reporting Engine, which was designed and developed for doctor/radiologist assistance. It allows to analyze an image stack from computed axial tomography scan of lungs (thorax) and, at the same time, to mark all pathologies on images and report their characteristics. The reporting process is normalized - radiologists cannot describe pathological changes with their own words, but can only use some terms from a specific vocabulary set provided by the software. Consequently, a normalized radiological report is automatically generated. Furthermore, MIAWARE software is accompanied with an intelligent search engine for medical reports, based on the relations between parts of the lungs. A logical structure of the lungs is introduced to the search algorithm through the specially developed ontology. As a result, a deductive report search was obtained, which may be helpful for doctors while diagnosing patients’ cases. Finally, the MIAWARE software can be considered also as a teaching tool for future radiologists and physicians.

SH3437417.08FU

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

UNITE provides a unified way for delimiting, identifying, communicating, and working with DNA-based Species Hypotheses (SH). All fungal ITS sequences in the international nucleotide sequence databases are clustered to approximately the species level by applying a set of dynamic distance values (<0.5 - 3.0%). All species hypotheses are given a unique, stable name in the form of a DOI, and their taxonomic and ecological annotations are verified through distributed, web-based third-party annotation efforts. SHs are connected to a taxon name and its classification as far as possible (phylum, class, order, etc.) by taking into account identifications for all sequences in the SH. An automatically or manually designated sequence is chosen to represent each such SH. These sequences are released (https://unite.ut.ee/repository.php) for use by the scientific community in, for example, local sequence similarity searches and next-generation sequencing analysis pipelines. The system and the data are updated automatically as the number of public fungal ITS sequences grows.
Research Article: How Well Do Universities Prepare New Environmental Managers?

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

While few programs have been created to satisfy the need for environmental managers, one promising development is that the environment has become a legitimate topic in graduate business programs. With the intent to provide information to schools of business as they integrate environmentally related subjects into their curricula, a questionnaire was sent to 1,200 active members of the National Registry of Environmental Professionals (NREP). A 20% return rate was obtained. Half of all respondents report that students are inadequately prepared; 85% said MBAs are inadequately prepared. Students get little practical experience, lack familiarity with business or management concepts, and are unfamiliar with principles of project management. MBAs lack requisite scientific or technical background. Work experience is considered important and 90% of all respondents indicate an internship counts as work experience but only 50% say their organization provides internship opportunities.
HfO2/Al2O3/InGaAs MOSCAP Structures and InGaAs Plasma Nitridation Elaborated in a 300mm Pilot Line

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

We report on electrical characteristics of HfO 2 /Al 2 O 3 gate dielectric on InGaAs as a function of Al 2 O 3 ALD cycles. We also investigate the effect of a NH 3 treatment in a 300mm PEALD chamber equipped with a capacitive plasma. It is shown that 8 Al 2 O 3 cycles are required to achieve a high level capacitance (1.75μF/cm²) and an interface trap density (D it ) around 6×10 12 cm -² eV -1 . The NH 3 plasma treatment through an Al 2 O 3 layer is able to integrate nitrogen at the InGaAs interface and to form an oxynitride GaO x N y .without deterioration of the C-V characteristics.
Life of Benjamin Robert Haydon, Historical Painter, from His Autobiography and Journals;

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Before the painter Benjamin Robert Haydon (1786–1846) committed suicide, he had left instructions that an account of his life should be published, using his autobiography up to 1820 and his letters and journals for the rest. The writer and dramatist Tom Taylor (1817–80) took on the editing, and the three-volume work was published in 1853. (The slightly enlarged second edition, also of 1853, is reissued here.) Haydon was a history painter at a time when that genre was perceived as the greatest form of the art, and his friends included Wordsworth, Keats, Shelley, Charles Lamb, Hazlitt and Elizabeth Barrett Browning. However, he was constantly in financial difficulties, and in later life a sense of failure seems to have turned into outright paranoia. Volume 3 uses Haydon's journals to continue the account up to the day of his death. His two-volume Conversations and Table-Talk, edited by his son, is also reissued is this series.
Oregon State Seal in State Capitol building in Salem, Oregon, 1959

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Visitors look at the Oregon State Seal in the rotunda of the State Capitol building in Salem, Oregon, on January 23, 1959. The bronze seal in the marble floor consists of a shield supported by 33 stars and divided by a ribbon inscribed with "The Union." Other elements include a team of oxen pulling a covered wagon in front of a harbor with clipper ships, an elk, the Pacific Ocean with setting sun, a sheaf of wheat, plow and pickax. The American Eagle stands above the shield; around the perimeter of the seal is the legend "State of Oregon, 1959."
