Banded matrices with banded inverses
… the conditions that are necessary for a given banded matrix to have a banded inverse. Although a generic requirement is known from previous studies, we tend to focus on the ranks of the block matrices that are present in the banded matrix. We consider mainly the two factor 2-by- 2 block matrix …

Causes and consequences of inbreeding in the banded mongoose
… inbreeding avoidance in empirical studies. The banded mongoose (Mungos mungo) is a cooperative breeder which is unusual in that it frequently engages in incest. As part of the Banded Mongoose Research Project I have quantified the level of inbreeding and investigated both its causes and …

Internal Yoneda Ext Groups, Central H-spaces, and Banded Types
… studied in [Wär23]), namely that of a banded type. The type of such torsors form a delooping of a central H-space, analogously to how the type of torsors of a group G form a K(G,1). Using centrality, we define a tensor product on banded types, producing an H-space structure which makes …

A study of lightning flashes attending periods of banded heavy snowfall
… Lighting[sic] flashes associated with 24 banded thundersnow events were analyzed to document their polarity, signal strength, and multiplicity. Radar reflectivity values were recorded at each lighting flash, as well as the maximum radar reflectivity within the associated snow band. The …

Odour signals contain multi-modal information in the banded mongoose (Mungos mungo).
… facilitate reproductive decision-making in the banded mongoose (Mungos mungo). I use a wild but habituated population to conduct experimental odour presentations showing these mammals are capable of discriminating scents based on sex, familiarity, relatedness and female reproductive state. The …

Stable Sparse Orthogonal Factorization of Ill-Conditioned Banded Matrices for Parallel Computing
… of computation with large-scale ill-conditioned banded matrices. Great concerns on existing methods include ill-conditioning, sparsity of factor matrices, computational complexity, and scalability. In this dissertation, we study a sparse orthogonal factorization of a banded matrix motivated by …

Isolation and Characterization of Chitinases From Dasypus Novemcinctus, the Nine-Banded Armadillo
The ability of armadillos to beak down chitin was investigated. Both indigenous and endogenous chitinases were studied. Armadillos were collected and samples of their gastric and pancreatic tissues were removed. Tissues were lyophilized and stored at -20° C until they could be resuspended in the …

Food Habits, Distribution and Impact of the Nine-Banded Armadillo in Missouri
Stomach analyses were done on forty-five armadillos taken in twelve southern Missouri counties. Coleoptera larvae and adults comprised 26.1-32.4% of the stomach contents by weight and 26.5-32.4% by volume for the fall, winter and spring seasons. Ants (Hymenoptera) made up 29.3% of the stomach …

Mitochondrial DNA Sequence Variation in Populations of the Nine-Banded Armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus)
Four populations of nine-banded armadillos, Dasypus novemcinctus, were investigated in the south-central United States in order to assess genetic variation in an isolated population (Electric Island, Lake Hamilton, Garland County, Arkansas); a semi-isolated population (Arkansas Post, Arkansas …

The foraging ecology of banded mongooses (Mungos mungo): Epidemiological and human-wildlife conflict implications
Free-ranging banded mongooses (Mungos mungo) in northeastern Botswana are infected by a novel Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex pathogen, M. mungi, which putatively infects mongooses through lesions in the skin (often the planum nasale) from an environmental reservoir. To understand the …

STRUCTURAL EVOLUTION IN THE PALAEOPROTEROZOIC BASEMENT (BANDED IRON FORMATION AND RELATED ROCKS) OF SW EGYPT
Structural evolution in the Palaeoproterozoic Banded Iron Formation of SW Egypt The exposed basement of the Western Desert of Egypt is part of the pre-Pan-African East Sahara Craton. The Gabel Uweinat-Bir Safsaf Aswan Uplift is situated at the eastern fringe of this craton, and its high-grade …

Effects of broad-banded higher harmonics on fatigue damage of risers due to vortex-induced vibrations
… response. Chaotic riser response contains broad-banded harmonics and a combination of standing and traveling waves, unlike periodic or " Type-I" motion which contains only standing waves and exhibits very narrow harmonics. The extent to which regions of chaotic response increase the damage on the …

Understanding the Influence of Banded Mongoose (Mungos mungo) Social Structuring on Disease Transmission Using Molecular Tools
… understand how dispersal patterns of individual banded mongooses (Mungos mungo) could potentially influence disease transmission. Banded mongooses are small fossorial mammals that live in social groups ranging from 5 to 75 individuals and defend their territories against rival troops. The focal …

Banded metasiltstones in Trigo Canyon : the story they tell about the Proterozoic deformational history of the Manzano Mountains
Proterozoic banded metasiltstones in the Manzano Mountains of central New Mexico are a distinctive structural marker in the Capilla Peak Quadrangle. These rocks are important because they preserve a record of early history of the Manzano thrust belt. The rocks are newly interpreted as mylonitized …

Feeding ecology, daily activity budget and primatourism of schlegel’s banded langur (presbytis neglectus) (schlegel,1876) in Kota Tinggi Johor
Schlegel’s banded langur, Presbytis neglectus, is an endemic leaf-eating monkey distributed in Johor but faced lacked of concern on its conservation aspect. It has the potential to be a primate-based tourism product called PrimaTourism (read: primate tourism) which is able to offer a sustainable …
