Factors influencing animal fitness during the nonbreeding period are critically important but remain largely unknown for many species. Here, I employed tracking and physiological sampling to gain insight into nonbreeding ...

It is shown that a certain nonlinear expression for Bernoulli polynomials, related to higher-order convolutions, can be evaluated as a product of simple linear polynomials with integer coefficients. The proof involves ...

Recent progress in laser science has led to the development of ultrashort pulses, which have a broad spectral bandwidth and high peak intensities. When these pulses interact with nonlinear plasmonic materials, the ...

The exchange contributions to the ground-state energy of an inhomogeneous many-fermion system of arbitrary dimensionality are calculated. Explicit results are given for both the local-density approximation and the lowest-order ...

Likelihood ratio based confidence intervals often better accommodate asymmetric un- certainty about parameter estimates compared to other likelihood-based approaches. In practice, likelihood ratio tests (LRT) are mostly ...

Human development has had damaging effects on coastal watersheds and estuarine environments worldwide. This paper considers the impacts of nonpoint source pollution (NPS) on these environments. Urbanization and agricultural ...
