Density-Dependence Inside A Marine Protected Area Increases Natural Mortality And Stunts The Growth Of A Spiny Lobster, Emma-Jade Tuffley, Simon De Lestang Sep 2024

Density-Dependence Inside A Marine Protected Area Increases Natural Mortality And Stunts The Growth Of A Spiny Lobster, Emma-Jade Tuffley, Simon De Lestang

Fisheries Research Articles

Sustainable fisheries management often requires the modelling of stocks under unfished conditions, when the influence of population densities on animal growth and mortality can be substantial. This can be especially true for species such as spiny rock lobster, which are very habitat specific. Using western rock lobster (Panulirus cygnus) tag-recapture data from adjacent and similar fished and unfished areas, the key life history parameters of natural mortality and growth were examined and compared under different population density scenarios. In an area representative of virgin biomass levels, lobsters exhibited reduced growth rates and a substantially higher rate of natural mortality …

Tripodal ligands that can encapsulate single or multiple metal sites in C3-symmetric geometric configurations constitute valuable targets for novel catalysts. Of particular interest in ligand development are efforts toward incorporating apical elements that exhibit little if any electron donicity, to enhance the electrophilic nature of a trans positioned active oxidant (e.g., metal-oxo, -nitrene). The tripodal ligand TMG3trphen-Arene has been synthesized, featuring an arene platform 1,3,5-substituted with phenylene arms possessing tetramethylguanidinyl (TMG) residues. Compound [(TMG3trphen-Arene) Cu3(μ-Cl)3] has been subsequently synthesized by extracting a Cu3(μ-Cl)3 cluster from anhydrous CuCl and shown to encapsulate a crown-shaped …

Size Fractionation Informs Microbial Community Composition And Interactions In The Eastern Tropical North Pacific Ocean, Madeleine A. Thompson, David L. Valentine, Xuefeng Peng

Faculty Publications

Marine microorganisms are drivers of biogeochemical cycles in the world’s oceans, including oxygen minimum zones (OMZs). Using a metabarcoding survey of the 16S rRNA gene, we investigated prokaryotic communities, as well as their potential interactions with fungi, at the coastal, offshore, and peripheral OMZ of the eastern tropical North Pacific. Water samples were collected along a vertical oxygen gradient, and large volumes were filtered through three size fractions, 0.22, 2, and 22 µm. The changes in community composition along the oxygen gradient were driven by Planctomycetota, Bacteroidota, Verrucomicrobiota, and Gammaproteobacteria; most are known degraders of marine polysaccharides and usually associated …

A Comparison Between Speckman And Bayesian Estimation Method Of A Semiparametric Balanced Longitudinal Data Model, Ahmed Abdulsamad Habeeb, Qutaiba N. Nayef Al-Qazaz

Journal of Economics and Administrative Sciences

This paper aims to use semi-parametric regression to balanced longitudinal data model, where the parametric regression models suffer from the problem of strict constraints, while non-parametric regression models, despite their flexibility, suffer from the problem of the curse of dimensionality. Consequently, semi-parametric regression is an ideal solution to get rid of the problems that parametric and non-parametric regression suffer from. The great advantage of this model is that it contains all the positive features included in the previous two models, such as containing strict restrictions in its parametric component, complete flexibility in its non-parametric component, and clarity of the interaction …


Some Fuzzy Least Squares Estimators For Regression Model Using Different Kernel Functions, Areej Ibrahim Tawfeeq, Emad Hazim Aboudi Sep 2024

Some Fuzzy Least Squares Estimators For Regression Model Using Different Kernel Functions, Areej Ibrahim Tawfeeq, Emad Hazim Aboudi

Journal of Economics and Administrative Sciences

This paper presents a method for addressing the issue of outliers in fuzzy data. The method involves calculating a new distance between fuzzy numbers using various kernel functions, based on the fuzzy least squares method. The parameters of the fuzzy regression model were estimated in cases where the explanatory variables were non-fuzzy, the parameters were fuzzy, and the response variable was both fuzzy and an outlier. These estimators were then compared to the Fuzzy Least Squares method (FLS) using Mean Square Error (MSE) through simulations with different sample sizes (25, 50, 100, 150) and levels of outliers (0, 0.10, 0.20, …

Physics instructors and education researchers use research-based assessments (RBAs) to evaluate students' preparation for physics courses. This preparation can cover a wide range of constructs including mathematics and physics content. Using separate mathematics and physics RBAs consumes course time. We are developing a new RBA for introductory mechanics as an online test using both computerized adaptive testing and cognitive diagnostic models. This design allows the adaptive RBA to assess mathematics and physics content knowledge within a single assessment. In this article, we used an evidence-centered design framework to inform the extent to which our models of skills students develop in …

School of Engineering Education Faculty Publications

Investigating students' thinking in routine classroom tasks, especially in science and engineering, is crucial. Given the rising interest in STEM Ways of Thinking (SWoT), in this exploratory study, we focus on two multi-week Engineering Design tasks within an undergraduate physics laboratory. Given that the term 'ways of thinking' has varied interpretations, we aim to further the discourse by identifying four SWoTs: Design Thinking, Physics Concepts, Mathematical Constructs, and Metacognitive Reflection. Analyzing discussions from 14 student-groups reveals notable differences in how students solve an instructor-assigned challenge given earlier in the semester and a student-generated challenge later in the semester. Students considered …


Development And Benchmark Of Polarizable Models For Ions, Luke Landry Sep 2024

Development And Benchmark Of Polarizable Models For Ions, Luke Landry

Dissertations

Metalloproteins are ubiquitous in biology, playing crucial roles in diverse processes. Meanwhile, molecular simulations have become an important tool in scientific research. To accurately simulate metalloprotein systems, accounting for polarization and charge transfer effects is required. The fluctuating charge (FQ) model can effectively simulate the charge transfer effect, but the existing models often lack specificity for metalloproteins. In our research, a tailored FQ model for zinc-containing metalloproteins, leveraging the extended charge equilibration (EQeq) scheme, was introduced. CM5 charges were used as the target in our model parameterization, which offers advantages over RESP/CHELPG charges. Most notably, CM5 charges hold independence over …
