Behavioral correlates of visual acuity (minimum separable) in the Northern bluejay (Cyanocitta cristata)
Including All the Lines
I present a progress report on including all the lines in the linelists,
including all the lines in the opacities, including all the lines in the model
atmosphere and spectrum synthesis calculations, producing high-resolution,
high-signal-to-noise atlases that show (not quite) all the lines, so that
finally we can determine the properties of stars from a few of the lines.Comment: 9 pages, no figures. Presented at "Dimitrifest" conference in

Pandemic Dynamics and the Breakdown of Herd Immunity
In this note we discuss the issues involved in attempting to model pandemic dynamics. More specifically, we show how it may be possible to make projections for the ongoing H1N1 pandemic as extrapolated from knowledge of seasonal influenza. We derive first-approximation parameter estimates for the SIR model to describe seasonal influenza, and then explore the implications of the existing classical epidemiological theory for the case of a pandemic virus. In particular, we note the dramatic nonlinear increase in attack rate as a function of the percentage of susceptibles initially present in the population. This has severe consequences for the pandemic, given the general lack of immunity in the global population
Characterizing the variation of propagation constants in multicore fibre
We demonstrate a numerical technique that can evaluate the core-to-core
variations in propagation constant in multicore fibre. Using a Markov Chain
Monte Carlo process, we replicate the interference patterns of light that has
coupled between the cores during propagation. We describe the algorithm and
verify its operation by successfully reconstructing target propagation
constants in a fictional fibre. Then we carry out a reconstruction of the
propagation constants in a real fibre containing 37 single-mode cores. We find
that the range of fractional propagation constant variation across the cores is
approximately .Comment: 17 pages; preprint format; 5 figures. Submitted to Optics Expres
Important Updates to Submission Types in Topics in Exercise Science and Kinesiology
Topics in Exercise Science and Kinesiology Volume 2: Issue 1, Article 1, 2021. While Topics in Exercise Science and Kinesiology (TESK) was originally designed to fill a void in publishing applied information for practitioners in physical activity and sport, the TESK editors have determined a need to update the submission categories. The categories of Process of Science and Implementation Strategies have been retained, and three new types of submissions now will be accepted: Expedited Articles, Review Articles, and Case Studies. Process of Science submissions should seek to answer the question, “What was learned from the experience of performing the investigation?”, while Implementation Strategies should address, “How can what was carried out be explained?” Required elements for both submission types are outlined along with guidelines for conducting peer-reviews. Expedited Articles can be submitted to TESK and undergo an accelerated review by the editors. Required elements and the peer review processes are also outlined for Review Articles and Case Studies
Guidelines for Reviewers: Topics in Exercise Science and Kinesiology
The purpose of this document is to serve as a guide for evaluators who agree to review work submitted to Topics in Exercise Science and Kinesiology. To assist evaluators, a Reviewer Rubric has been created with the following sections: Title Page and Abstract, Introduction and Methods Page, Point of Application Page(s), Other Considerations, and Reviewer Decisions. Point of application: Reviewing the Title and Abstract page – rubric shared for title, author list, affiliations, the abstract, and key words. Point of application: Reviewing the Introduction and Methods page – evaluation of introductory paragraph, paragraph for methodology and/or results. Point of application: Reviewing the Point of Application pages – rubric for Each Point of Application, which should consist of a title, written text, and a figure or table. Point of application: Reviewing the Figures and Tables, and Making a Decision – rubric for the evaluation of figures or tables, others comments, and decisions that can be made
