Responses of Madagascar's Endemic Carnivores to Fragmentation, Hunting, and Exotic Carnivores Across the Masoala-Makira Landscape
… occupancy; 2) how native and exotic carnivore temporal activity overlap and how body size and niche explain these patterns; 3) how native and exotic carnivores spatially co-occur across the landscape and which variables explain these relationships; and 4) how native and exotic carnivores and …

Investigation of Electrode Processes and Double Layer Structure Using Visible/infrared Sum Frequency Generation
… of background suppression achieved by adjusting temporal overlap of incident laser pulses. The extracted fitting parameters show varying degrees of symmetry depending on the selected crystal face, and transformation of resonant signal line shapes from peak, dip, to derivative-shaped features is …

Generation of ultra-bright MeV gamma-ray beams from intense laser-matter interactions
… is shown as well as a new technique for the temporal overlap of ultra-short pulses to fs precision is given.This is followed by the findings from a recent experimental campaign in which NLTS was demonstrated experimentally which implies a peak brilliance of ∼ 1020 photons s−1mm−2 mrad−2 0.1% …

Inter-propositional semantic relations and semantic relational encoding in written discourse in Maori: an investigation
… between propositions (such as reason-result and temporal overlap) are encoded (as clauses, sentences and groups of sentences) and signalled in Maori. In Chapter 1, the overall research topic and research questions are outlined. Chapter 2 locates the research on inter-propositional semantic …

Sweeprate and Temperature Effects on Crackling Noise
… and finite sweeprate. I discuss how the temporal overlap of power law bursts can account for a wide range of scaling behavior and provide a criterion for sweeprate controlled exponents based on exponents obtained in the infinitely slowly driven limit. I also discuss scaling arguments for …

Sound Source Segregation in the Acoustic Parasitiod Fly Ormia ochracea
… of multiple coherent cricket songs that overlap in time and space, O. ochracea may experience a phantom source illusion and localize a direction between actual source locations. By varying the temporal overlap between competing sources, I demonstrate that O. ochracea are able to resolve …

Decolonising the Informal: Discourse, Everyday Life, and the Politics of Urbanisation in Windhoek, Namibia
… settings of ‘urban informality’, which largely overlap with the lived experience of the black urban poor. Urban theory continues to reinforce a binary conceptualisation in which ‘informality’ remains framed as the non-formal, emphasising what it is not rather than providing a conceptual …

Microwave Triggered Laser Ionization of Air
… interaction. The 2-D MATLAB simulations of the temporal and spatial evolution of the LIP are also in agreement with the theoretical results. An X-band relativistic backward wave oscillator (RBWO) at the Pulsed Power, Beams, and Microwaves Laboratory was constructed at the University of New …

Understanding and mitigating vulnerable bycatch in southern African longline and trawl fisheries
… Dermochelys coriacea indicating a high degree of overlap with fishing effort. Satellite tracking of Black-browed Thalassarche melanophrys and White-capped T. steadi Albatrosses reveal striking differences in their foraging patterns and presents evidence that Black-browed Albatrosses, in …

Coherent optical nonlinearities in semiconductor microstructures
… The appearance of the third peak requires temporal overlap of pump and probe pulses. The origin of this complex nonlinearity is the quantum nature of light, which induces intraband polarizations in the presence of a coherent driving field and a finite carrier density. It is found that the …

Land use influence on biodiversity and activity patterns of predators and prey in the semi-arid drylands of South Africa
… richness found in my study. I found that the temporal overlap for the same species living in Anysberg Nature Reserve and the nearby small livestock commercial farmland of Koup were not dissimilar. However, heavily persecuted (e.g., black backed jackal) and harvested species (e.g., steenbok) …

Comparing body condition and foraging ecology of two populations of Cape Gannets on Bird and Malgas Islands
… especially since there is also a strong spatio-temporal overlap of gannet foraging with the large commercial purse-seine fishery. Better spatial management of this fishery is necessary to ensure the persistence of seabirds and other top predators in the southern Benguela.

Evaluating Competition Between Sympatric Flying Squirrels (Glaucomys Spp.) In Northeastern Minnesota
… Climate change is causing unprecedented spatial overlap of previously allopatric species, which can lead to competition between species with similar niches. Northern flying squirrels (Glaucomys sabrinus) and southern flying squirrels (G. volans) have increasingly overlapping ranges due to warming …

Object Association Across Multiple Moving Cameras In Planar Scenes
… as a single probability density. Second, temporal persistence is introduced as a detection criterion. Unlike previous approaches to object detection that detect objects by building adaptive models of the background, the foreground is modeled to augment the detection of objects (without …

Applications of femtosecond coherent anti-stokes Raman scattering in combustion
… It has been suggested that due to the laser beam temporal overlap required for fs-CARS signal generation, the technique would be unsuccessful due to beam propagation retardation effects from density gradients in the flame. Chirping of the beams due to combustor windows has also been suggested to …

Paleomagnetic and Rock Magnetic Analysis of Upper Cretaceous Synorogenic Conglomerates From the Cordilleran Foreland Basin, Utah; Middle Triassic Moenkopi Formation From the Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona; and Pseudotachylytes From the Albany-Fraser Orogenic Belt, Southwest Australia
… The new age constraints demonstrate a complete temporal overlap between proximal and distal coarse-grained deposits in this part of the Cordilleran foreland basin suggesting a coeval sedimentation in both the proximal and distal parts linked with the active thrust displacement and rapid …

Potential for resource competition between the boodie (Bettongia lesueur) and mala (Lagorchestes hirsutus) in the fenced Matuwa reserve, central Western Australia
… of central Western Australia. Resource overlap between coexisting populations of these two species has not been studied previously, but the literature suggests the potential for considerable dietary overlap. I investigated the degree of dietary overlap using scat DNA from non-invasively …

Partitioning along reproductive niche dimensions in sympatric New Zealand freshwater bivalve species
… to austral summer (November and December). High temporal overlap in glochidia development of these two species was observed, particularly during peak brooding when mature glochidia are expected to be released. Intra- and interspecific differences in reproductive timing identified key thermal cues …
