Statistical inference on patch-specific survival and movement rates from marked animals

Empirical estimates of patch-specific survival and movement rates are needed to parametrize spatially explicit population models, and for inference on the effects of habitat quality and fragmentation on populations. Data from radio-marked animals, in which both the fates and habitat locations of animals are known over time, can be used in conjunction with continuous-time proportional hazards models to obtain inferences on survival rates. Discrete-time conditional logistic models may provide inference on both survival and movement rates. We use Monte Carlo simulation to investigate accuracy of estimates of survival from both approaches, and movement rates from conditional logistic regression, for two habitats. Bias was low (relative bias < 0.04) and interval coverage accurate (close to the nominal 0.95) for estimates of habitat effect on survival based on proportional hazards. Bias was high ( relative bias 0.60) and interval coverage poor ( = 0.26 vs. nominal 0.95) for estimates of habitat effect based on conditional logistic regression; bias was especially influenced by heterogeneity in survival and the shape of the hazard function, whereas both bias and coverage were affected by ‘memory’ effects in movement patterns. Bias estimates of movement rate was low ( relative bias < 0.05), but interval coverage was poor ( = 0.48–0.80), possibly as a result of poor performance of a Taylor series estimate of variance. An example is provided from a radio-telemetry study of 47 wintering American woodcock (Scolopax minor), illustrating practical difficulties in field studies to parametrize these models. We also discuss extensions of continuous-time models to explicitly include a movement process, and further examine tradeoffs between continuous and discrete models.

基于MGWR模型的中国城市PM2.5影响因素空间异质性

基于全国297个地级市2018年PM_2.5浓度数据、自然与社会经济数据,采用多尺度地理加权回归（MGWR）模型分析了各影响因素对PM_2.5浓度的作用尺度与影响效果的空间异质性.结果表明,MGWR模型适用于中国地级市PM_2.5浓度影响因素研究.在作用尺度上,人均GDP、技术支持水平作用尺度最大,其次是相对湿度、居民地比重、人口密度与风速,降水量、第二产业比重、植被覆盖状况、温度与能源消费强度作用尺度最为局限.在影响效果上,相对湿度、人口密度与居民地比重全部为正向作用;第二产业比重和能源消费强度主要为正向作用,分别占总样本的70.71%与64.98%;风速、温度既存在正向作用也存在负向作用,空间上呈两极分化,其中正向作用分别占总样本的49.83%与57.91%;降水量、植被覆盖状况主要为负向作用,分别占总样本的91.58%与69.70%;人均GDP、技术支持水平全部为负向作用.研究结果表明各因素对于中国城市PM_2.5浓度的影响均存在着不同程度的空间异质性.     

赣西北中部逆冲推覆构造的形成时间和形成模式

江西九岭地体南缘武功山地体北侧以及其间的萍乐盆地内，有大量的逆冲推覆构造分布。逆冲推覆构造的类型有两种──逆冲推覆型和重力滑覆型。逆冲推覆构造具有横向上对冲挤压，纵向上多层滑动的特征，据此笔者建立了一个可能的多层滑动──对冲挤压模式，并根据地质和同位素年龄资料讨论了逆冲推覆构造的演化历史，指出区内大规模逆冲推覆构造的形成时间为中生代晚期（119.6Ma）。

针对研究管制人因可靠性时存在的模糊性和片面性问题,采用认知可靠性与失误分析方法（CREAM）中的扩展预测法,计算10项管制通用任务的人误概率;在此基础上,以管制行为形成因子作为根节点构建贝叶斯网络,建立其与情景控制模式的不确定关系模型,对管制员在多任务中的人误概率进行预测。研究结果表明:在由相同评判者给出行为形成因子影响效应的前提下,由CREAM扩展预测法和构建贝叶斯网络的方法预测得到的多数任务的人误概率差异较大,从方法的客观性、合理性和适用性角度分析,贝叶斯网络在研究该问题时更具优势。     

A Comparison of Two Methods of Determining Thermal Properties of Footwear

The present European Standard for footwear testing (Standard No. EN 344:1992; European Committee for Standardization [CEN], 1992) classifies footwear thermally by a temperature drop inside the footwear during 30 min at defined conditions. Today, other methods for footwear thermal testing are also available. The aim of this study was to compare EN 344:1992 with a thermal foot method. Six boots were tested according to both methods. Additional tests with modified standard tests were also carried out. The methods ranked the footwear in a similar way. However, the test according to standard EN 344:1992 is a pass-or-fail test, whereas data that is gained from the thermal foot method gives more information and allows further use in research and product development. A change of the present standard method is suggested.

How effective are River Basin Management Plans in reaching the nutrient load reduction targets?

Riverine nutrient loads are among the major causes of eutrophication of the Baltic Sea. This study applied the Soil & Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) in three catchments flowing to the Baltic Sea, namely Vantaanjoki (Finland), Fyrisån (Sweden), and Słupia (Poland), to simulate the effectiveness of nutrient control measures included in the EU’s Water Framework Directive River Basin Management Plans (RBMPs). Moreover, we identified similar, coastal, middle-sized catchments to which conclusions from this study could be applicable. The first modelling scenario based on extrapolation of the existing trends affected the modelled nutrient loads by less than 5%. In the second scenario, measures included in RBMPs showed variable effectiveness, ranging from negligible for Słupia to 28% total P load reduction in Vantaanjoki. Adding spatially targeted measures to RBMPs (third scenario) would considerably improve their effectiveness in all three catchments for both total N and P, suggesting a need to adopt targeting more widely in the Baltic Sea countries.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1007/s13280-020-01393-x) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
