Abstract:

The ability to conduct research is essential for meeting Common Core State Standards, for success in post-secondary education, and for access to many 21st-century careers. Although today's students increasingly turn to the Internet for information, they are often unprepared to engage effectively in academic research online. This article describes work at the University of Oregon's Center for Advanced Technology in Education in developing and testing nine Strategies for Online Academic Research (SOAR) designed for middle school students, with specific attention to the needs of students with learning disabilities. Included is information about the SOAR Student Toolkit, a multimedia website with step-by-step instructional modules for learning the nine strategies, as well as results from an evaluation in Connecticut. Results indicate that using the SOAR Student Toolkit improves online research performance for sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-grade general education students and students with learning disabilities. Implications for future research are discussed.

Abstract:

The ambitious 21st Annual Conference of the Parties (COP21) targets of over 200 countries to limit global warming require a significant reduction in green house gas (GHG) emissions by signatories; these reductions will require major shifts in the way that countries think about their supply mix. Although renewables are often the primary focus of emissions reductions, the role of natural gas in GHG emissions warrants consideration. Gas is ‘triple A’: affordable, abundant and available. It is also lower in GHG than other fossil fuel alternatives. The future success and price stability of liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects is intrinsically linked to the success of natural gas as a bridge fuel to a lower carbon future; although there was initial optimism about the potential of natural gas as a bridge fuel under COP21, further analysis shows that forecast demand for natural gas and LNG in new policy scenarios is likely lower than original forecasts, placing Australian producers’ existing and future projects in a challenging position; moving down the cost-curve where possible is the best way to ensure resilient demand even in a slower growth future environment.

Abstract:

The aerial environment is heterogeneous in space and time and directly influences the costs of animal flight. Volant animals can reduce these costs by using different flight modes, each with their own benefits and constraints. However, the extent to which animals alter their flight modes in response to environmental conditions has rarely been studied in the wild. To provide insight into how a flight generalist can reduce the energetic cost of movement, we studied flight behaviour in relation to the aerial environmental and landscape using hundreds of hours of global positioning system and triaxial acceleration measurements of the lesser black-backed gull ( Larus fuscus ). Individuals differed largely in the time spent in flight, which increased linearly with the time spent in flight at sea. In general, flapping was used more frequently than more energetically efficient soaring flight. The probability of soaring increased with increasing boundary layer height and time closer to midday, reflecting improved convective conditions supportive of thermal soaring. Other forms of soaring flight were also used, including fine-scale use of orographic lift. We explore the energetic consequences of behavioural adaptations to the aerial environment and underlying landscape and implications for individual energy budgets, foraging ecology and reproductive success. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Moving in a moving medium: new perspectives on flight’.

Abstract:

Kenari Village is a village located in Lemito Subdistrict, Pohuwato Regency, Gorontalo Province. The people of Kenari Village have a religious character so that there are good enough da'wah opportunities for students of KKN STIBA Makassar in Gorontalo to develop the competence of da'wah in the field. The method of implementation of KKN is started by conducting field surveys using self-made instruments and then conducted SOAR analysis. After conducting observations and consultations with the Muslimah Wahdah Pahuwuto, then determined the kkn team work program as follows: Friday Study, Tahfiz Qur'an Daily, Adult Qur'an Education (Dirosa), Memorizing Hadith Kitabul Jami', Teaching Arabic, TPA / TPQ, Tahsin (improving reading). As a result, the KKN program can be carried out well and smoothly despite some changes and additions and time that are not as planned. As for the success achieved, it appears to improve the quality of reading the Qur'an muslimah and students in the location KKN.

Abstract:

AbstractWe have developed a new procedure to search for Carbon-Enhanced Metal-Poor (CEMP) stars from the Hamburg/ESO (HES) prism-survey plates. This method uses an extended line index for the CH G-band, which we demonstrate to have superior behavior when compared to the narrower G-band index formerly employed for these spectra.A first subsample, biased towards brighter stars (B<15.5), has been extracted from the scanned HES plates. After visual inspection (to eliminate spectra compromised by plate defects, overlapping spectra, etc., and to carry out rough spectral classifications), a list of 669 previously unidentified candidate CEMP stars was compiled. Follow-up spectroscopy for a pilot sample of 132 candidates was obtained on the SOAR 4.1m telescope. Our results show that most of the stars observed lie in the targetted metallicity range, and possess prominent carbon absorption features at 4300Å. The success rate for the identification of new CEMP stars is ~50% for [Fe/H]< −2.0. For stars with [Fe/H]< −2.5, the ratio increases to 100%.

Abstract:

Abstract The aim of this paper is to evaluate the contribution that developments in the area of ethical leadership and trust have made to our understanding of effective people management within organisations. This paper is based on a case study from Harvard Business Review (2007) called "IBM - Leading the Turnaround". The author will use Leader Member Exchange (LMX) theory by Graen and Uhl-Bien (1995) and integrate the ideas of ethical leadership to critically evaluate the leadership style of the CEO of IBM Louis V. Gerstner that led to the turnaround of IBM. In particular, the author will focus on the following question: What role did trust play in the leadership style of Gerstner in the transformation of IBM? When Gerstner became the CEO of IBM in 1993, an $8.1 billion loss on the stock market was announced by IBM; this was one of the largest in U.S. history. Gerstner was facing a difficult job as stock market commentators were rapidly writing off IBM as a 'slow elephant' and, as a result, IBM's workforce was not in any state to accept change. Gerstner's first task was to analyse what was going wrong within IBM, despite having dedicated people, high technological infrastructure, and a sound strategy, he found that IBM was suffering from its own success during the many years of operation. Its own success was its downfall, for it had become slow moving and inward looking. Organisationally, it had become a decentralised 'kingdom' in which none of the business units communicated with each other. Gerstner realised that, if IBM was to be saved, he had to lead this massive organisation through cultural change. He realised that changing the attitude and behaviour of thousands of people was hard to accomplish, but was the main key to success. Management could not change organisational culture through words and policies alone; leaders such as Gerstner had to create the conditions for transformation and invite employees to respond willingly. IBM had a tradition of appointing executives from within. Indeed, Gerstner was the first CEO to be hired form outside; this in itself was revolutionary and created widespread internal concern. Before Gerstner arrived, it was accepted that the break-up of IBM was inevitable. The question was only what form this would take. Morale was at rock-bottom, and Gerstner's appointment did nothing to raise spirits. It was assumed he had been brought in to 'wield the hatchet'. Therefore, it was a real surprise when Gerstner made himself open to input from anyone in the company. It was even more surprising when he announced that IBM's strength lay in its integration and that there would be no break-up. Immediately spirits started to soar. Everyone knew there would be a pain, but now it seemed it would be on a much lower level, and employees were prepared to listen for a change. While it took time to build trust, Gerstner's no-nonsense style created confidence that someone was in charge. His actions were not popular, but they were decisive. It was this that steadily led to a sense of trust; he did what he said he would do, and he proved himself trustworthy. In the next section, the author will provide a background to leader-member exchange (LMX) theory and relate it to ethical leadership so that we can explore the leadership style of Gerstner during the change at IBM.

Abstract:

AbstractWith the resounding success of Helioseismology in determining the interior structure and rotation of the Sun, and in providing unprecedented studies of the interaction of pulsation and magnetic fields in the solar atmosphere, astronomers have been delighted, after decades of disappointing attempts, with the recent discovery of solar-like oscillations in ξHya, β Hyi, αCen, η Boo and νInd. There is now true seismology of a variety of solar-like stars. Asteroseismology also studies stars with a wide variety of interior and surface conditions. For two decades asteroseismic techniques have been applied to many pulsating stars across the HR Diagram. This review describes for non-specialists pulsation modes in stars and discusses a selection of some of the successes already accomplished in asteroseismology.

Abstract:

Today, after more than 70 years of continued progress on silicon technology, about 85% of cumulative installed photovolatic (PV) modules are based on crystalline silicon (c-Si). PV devices based on silicon are the most common solar cells currently being produced, and it is mainly due to silicon technology that the PV has grown by 40% per year over the last decade. An additional step in the silicon solar cell development is ongoing, and it is related to a further efficiency improvement through defect control, device optimization, surface modification, and nanotechnology approaches. This paper attempts to briefly review the most important advances and current technologies used to produce crystalline silicon solar devices and in the meantime the most challenging and promising strategies acting to increase the efficiency to cost/ratio of silicon solar cells. Eventually, the impact and the potentiality of using a nanotechnology approach in a silicon-based solar cell are also described.

This case is about evolution of a parent brand and its subsequent extensions into different product categories. Dettol as a brand has immense trust and loyalty from the consumers. Since the 1930s when Dettol was introduced in India, it has occupied a distinct position in the mind of its consumers. To achieve fast growth and leverage the strong brand equity of Dettol, Reckitt Benckiser India Limited (RBIL) rolled out a number of brand extensions. Some of these extensions such as Dettol soap and Dettol liquid hand wash became phenomenal successes, but most others failed to perform. The case deals with the questions of why some extensions achieve great success while others fail miserably.

Abstract:

The aim of this research was to examine the effects of the Augmented Reality (AR)-supported teaching activities on the academic success, motivation of students towards science learning and attitudes of students towards AR application, in the scope of the seventh grade science course, "Solar System and Beyond" unit. For this purpose, "Solomon Four Group Model", which controls the internal and external validity, was used. Research was conducted with 120 students in two different schools and involved two experimental and two control groups established by random method. Experimental (1) and Control (1) groups received data collection tools as pre-test and post-test, while Experimental (2) and Control (2) groups received only post-test. During the six-week research, the students were taught in the experimental groups using the 'Star-Tracker, Spacecraft, iSolarsystem, Space-4D' mobile AR applications, while the control groups were taught with the activities envisaged in the curriculum. "Solar System and Beyond Success Test" and the "Students' Motivation to Science Learning" scale, were used as data collection tools. Findings from the research showed that teaching with AR applications significantly alters the success of students and motivation towards science learning. This showed that teaching with AR applications is effective. Keywords: augmented reality, academic success, solar system, Solomon four-group model, 7th grade students.

Full text

Abstract:

Pollination of wild plants and agricultural crops is a vitally important ecosystem service. Many landscape and environmental factors influence the pollination success of crops, including distance from natural habitat, wind speed, and solar radiation. Although there is a general consensus that increasing distance from forest decreases pollination success, few studies have examined the influence of specific environmental factors. In this study, we examined which environmental factors influence the pollination success of blackberries (Rubus glaucus). We measured the number of fruitlets per berry, a proxy for pollination success, as well as the weight and sweetness of each berry. Our results indicate that number of fruitlets is positively correlated with wind speed, but number of unripe red berries per bush is negatively correlated with wind speed. In addition, sweetness increased with increasing numbers of red berries per bush but was lower when flowers and berries were present, though this result should be considered with caution due to methodological limitations. Our findings suggest that a little studied environmental factor, wind, has a large impact on the number of fruitlets in blackberries. Although our findings should be confirmed in other locations to draw broader conclusions, they suggest that producers should consider the effect of wind on blackberry yield to optimize blackberry production.

Full text

Abstract:

To improve the success of vegetative propagation of Sciadopitys verticillata, stem cuttings were subjected to three treatments designed to minimize the accumulation of a latex-like sap at the cut ends of stems. A 24-hour soak in water before a hormone dip significantly enhanced rooting success and root mass. The water soak pretreatment was more beneficial to hardwood cuttings compared with softwood cuttings. Cuttings from shade-grown source trees showed the highest rooting success, but source tree age, height, and place of origin were not important factors. The water-insoluble latex-like sap had strong antibacterial activity against 3 of 11 bacterial species tested, but activity was not related to bacterial Gram reaction or the bacterial natural environment. In contrast, pine resins and latexes from selected angiosperms showed no antibacterial activity. The antibacterial component of the Sciadopitys latex-like sap was heat stable and therefore probably not protein based.

Full text

Abstract:

This paper will review the use of solar eclipses in the study of the extreme solar limb at sub-millimeter and millimeter wavelengths. This approach has been used to overcome the severe limitation imposed by diffraction upon the resolution attainable by direct solar limb scans at these wavelengths. Strong absorption by water vapor in the Earth's lower atmosphere has necessitated the use of telescopes at high altitude sites or in jet aircraft. Data from several of these experiments will be reviewed, including those from the recent James Clerk Maxwell Telescope observation at a wavelength of 1.3 mm of the eclipse of 11 July 1991. In view of the success of recent measurements in improving the spatial resolution with this technique, several of the ultimate limitations placed upon it by lunar surface roughness and by diffraction at the lunar limb are outlined.These observations have demonstrated the inadequacy of present phenomenological solar atmospheric models at sub-millimetric source heights. Newer models have been developed to fit the observed extension, brightening and detailed structure of the solar limb by attempting to include the structure of the chromospheric network and its spicular field, and their relative success in doing so will be discussed.

Abstract:

During the period 1981-1984, major developments have been made in the analysis of the shape and shifts of photospheric lines used as a diagnostic of the convection in the outer layers of the Sun. The first three-dimensional numerical simulation of the solar granulation has been developed, and it, is able to reproduce with some success most of the observed morphological and spectroscopic properties of granulation. It is becoming clear that the properties of the solar granulation are variable over the solar cycle. Many questions remain to be solved; further progress will rely heavily on expected improvements of the spatial resolution of the observations and the availability of larger computers.

Abstract:

SummaryObjectives: To identify and describe the most critical strategic and operational contributors to the successful implementation of clinical information technologies, as deployed within a moderate sized system of U.S. community hospitals.Background and Setting: CHRISTUS Health is a multi-state system comprised of more than 350 services and 60 hospitals with over 9 000 physicians. The Santa Rosa region of CHRISTUS Health, located in greater San Antonio, Texas is comprised of three adult community hospital facilities and one Children’s hospital each with bed capacities of 142–180. Computerized Patient Order Entry (CPOE) was first implemented in 2012 within a complex market environment. The Santa Rosa region has 2 417 credentialed physicians and 263 mid-level allied health professionals.Methods: This report focuses on the seven most valuable strategies deployed by the Health Informatics team in a large four hospital CHRISTUS region to achieve strong CPOE adoption and critical success lessons learned. The findings are placed within the context of the literature describing best practices in health information technology implementation.Results: While the elements described involved discrete de novo process generation to support implementation and operations, collectively they represent the creation of a new customer-centric service culture in our Health Informatics team, which has served as a foundation for ensuring strong clinical information technology adoption beyond CPOE.Conclusion: The seven success factors described are not limited in their value to and impact on CPOE adoption, but generalize to – and can advance success in – varied other clinical information technology implementations across diverse hospitals. A number of these factors are supported by reports in the literature of other institutions’ successful implementations of CPOE and other clinical information technologies, and while not prescriptive to other settings, may be adapted to yield value elsewhere.

The aquatic stages of amphibians may be sensitive to increased levels of solar ultraviolet B radiation (UV-B, 280–320 nm) that have been observed at higher latitudes over the past several decades, but the effects on most species are unknown. We exposed eggs and larvae of Hyla regilla and Rana aurora to three experimental treatments: (1) solar UV < 450 nm blocked (control), (2) ambient solar UV, and (3) solar UV-B enhanced 15 and 30% above ambient levels at midday to simulate conditions predicted for the next decades at midlatitudes. The rearing containers were covered with acrylic filters to provide the desired radiation regimes. Hatching success of H. regilla did not differ among the treatments and was 87.7, 71.8, and 87.1% in April 1995 and 94.0, 85.1, and 97.4% in May 1995 for the control, ambient, and enhanced UV-B treatments, respectively. In contrast, hatching success of R. aurora in the enhanced UV-B treatment (56.0%) was lower than in the ambient UV (89.8%) and control (81.0%) treatments. Larval survival over the first 2 months of development was reduced to 18.4% for H. regilla and 2.6% for R. aurora in the enhanced UV-B treatment compared with the ambient UV and control treatments. We conclude that ambient UV levels at the study site did not affect the embryonic or early larval survival of either of the species tested under the experimental conditions, but both species are potentially vulnerable to increases in solar UV-B.

Abstract When translating musicals’ librettos from one culture to another, what rôles do socio-cultural factors play? How are they negotiated during the development of the target text? Drawing on some of the major concepts from Actor Network Theory, this study looks at an example from the Mandarin Chinese translation of Mamma Mia! which has recently been performed on the Chinese mainland. It investigates how translators respond to the target socio-cultural context during their libretto translation. The findings suggest that, when translating Mamma Mia! into Chinese, translators operate in a dynamic network of multiple perspectives. Their consumer-oriented interactions with the stakeholders, together with socio-cultural factors, play important rôles in creating resonance with the target audience, and thus contribute to musicals’ commercial success in the global arena. This study leads to a view of the translator as a mediator in the network responding to multiple stakeholders and factors to facilitate the development of the target text.

Abstract:

Drawing links between solar philanthrocapitalism and the concept of light as knowledge, this article cautions against the regressive epistemics we might unintentionally reinforce through the fetishization of rationality as a measure of the success of a solar intervention. In its place, it suggests solarities that delink the expectation of development from the commitment to improve energy access—that is, an epistemics through which we might let access to light be an end in itself. The article concludes by outlining “endarkenment” as an alternative register for theorizing solar as an energy form.

Abstract:

Abstract. The performance of the Hakamada Akasofu-Fry, version 2 (HAFv.2) numerical model, which provides predictions of solar shock arrival times at Earth, was subjected to a statistical study to investigate those solar/interplanetary circumstances under which the model performed well/poorly during key phases (rise/maximum/decay) of solar cycle 23. In addition to analyzing elements of the overall data set (584 selected events) associated with particular cycle phases, subsets were formed such that those events making up a particular sub-set showed common characteristics. The statistical significance of the results obtained using the various sets/subsets was generally very low and these results were not significant as compared with the hit by chance rate (50%). This implies a low level of confidence in the predictions of the model with no compelling result encouraging its use. However, the data suggested that the success rates of HAFv.2 were higher when the background solar wind speed at the time of shock initiation was relatively fast. Thus, in scenarios where the background solar wind speed is elevated and the calculated success rate significantly exceeds the rate by chance, the forecasts could provide potential value to the customer. With the composite statistics available for solar cycle 23, the calculated success rate at high solar wind speed, although clearly above 50%, was indicative rather than conclusive. The RMS error estimated for shock arrival times for every cycle phase and for the composite sample was in each case significantly better than would be expected for a random data set. Also, the parameter "Probability of Detection, yes" (PODy) which presents the Proportion of Yes observations that were correctly forecast (i.e. the ratio between the shocks correctly predicted and all the shocks observed), yielded values for the rise/maximum/decay phases of the cycle and using the composite sample of 0.85, 0.64, 0.79 and 0.77, respectively. The statistical results obtained through detailed analysis of the available data provided insights into how changing circumstances on the Sun and in interplanetary space can affect the performance of the model. Since shock arrival predictions are widely utilized in making commercially significant decisions re. protecting space assets, the present detailed archival studies can be useful in future operational decision making during solar cycle 24. It would be of added value in this context to use Briggs-Rupert methodology to estimate the cost to an operator of acting on an incorrect forecast.

Abstract:

<p><strong>Background</strong>: Environmental conditions in edges of vegetation fragments affect life cycle characteristics of the native biota (edge effect). We evaluated the edge effect on two <em>Bursera</em> species, which are representative of the mature community of the tropical deciduous forest (TDF) in Mexico.</p><p><strong>Hypothesis</strong>. We expected a population structure reflecting the affectation to reproduction, survival and growth in the edges of TDF fragments.</p><p><strong>Studied species:</strong><em> Bursera fagaroides</em>, <em>B.

Field survey: May-September 2012.</p><p><strong>Methods:</strong> Within each of nine TDF fragments, we drew plots in two environmental contrasting conditions (edge and interior), between which we compared the density, population structure and reproductive success of the two <em>Bursera</em> species, as well as estimators of the solar radiation and soil compaction.</p><p><strong>Results:</strong> Solar radiation and soil compaction were not different between environmental conditions. In both species density of individuals was larger in the edge, where individuals with middle and large sizes were predominant. Reproductive potential of individuals, and the viability and germination of their seeds were similar between edge and core environments.</p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Density and population structure showed a congruent variation with higher rates of recruitment, growth and survival in the edge environment, which could have been present under initial conditions of greater incidence of radiation in the edges. The similarity currently observed in the solar radiation between edge and core areas of fragments, could be a result of the fast recovery of the canopy under conditions of higher light incidence in edges.</p>

Abstract:

AbstractThe efficiency of a solar cell can be increased by stacking multiple solar cells with a range of bandgap energies, resulting in a multijunction solar cell with a maximum the oretical efficiency limit of 86.8% III–V compound semiconductors are good candidates for fabricating such multijunction solar cells for two reasons: they can be grown with excellent material quality; and their bandgaps span a wide spectral range, mostly with direct bandgaps, implying a high absorption coefficient. These factors are the reason for the success of this technology, which has achieved 39% efficiency, the highest solar-to-electric conversion efficiency of any photovoltaic device to date. This article explores the materials science of today's high-efficiency multijunction cells and describes challenges associated with new materials developments and how they may lead to next-generation, multijunction solar cell concepts.

Abstract:

This paper describes our work on a small, hand-launched, solar-powered unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) suitable for low temperatures and high altitudes, which has the perpetual flight potential for conservation missions for rare animals in the plateau area in winter. Firstly, the conceptual design method of a small, solar-powered UAV based on energy balance is proposed, which is suitable for flight in high-altitude and low-temperature area. The solar irradiance model, which can reflect the geographical location and time, was used. Based on the low-temperature discharge test of the battery, a battery weight model considering the influence of low temperature on the battery performance was proposed. Secondly, this paper introduces the detailed design of solar UAV for plateau area, including layout design, structure design, load, and avionics. To increase the proportion of solar cells covered, the ailerons were removed and a rudder was used to control both roll and yaw. Then, the dynamics model of an aileron-free layout UAV was developed, and the differences in maneuverability and stability of aileron-free UAV in plateau and plain areas were analyzed. The control law and trajectory tracking control law were designed for the aileron-free UAV. Finally, the flight test was conducted in Qiangtang, Tibet, at an altitude of 4500 m, China’s first solar-powered UAV to take off and land above 4500 m on the plateau in winter (−30 °C). The test data showed the success of the scheme, validated the conceptual design method and the success of the control system for aileron-free UAV, and analyzed the feasibility of perpetual flight carrying different loads according to the flight energy consumption data.

Abstract:

Comparisons between experimental data and ray-tracing simulation results are presented for the high-flux SF60 solar furnace available at the Plataforma Solar de Almeria, Spain, which has an estimated thermal power of 60 kW. Since an important issue in many applications of solar concentrated radiation is to obtain a radiation distribution that is as homogeneous as possible over the central working area, so-called radiation homogenisers were also used but the degree of success achieved is just satisfactory, as the results show. Finally, further modelling studies using ray-tracing simulations aiming to attain a homogenous distribution of flux by means of double reflexion using two paraboloid surfaces are presented.

Abstract:

Latin American telenovelas, like the Australasian soap operas, have been globally successful. It is a remarkable feature of this success that it has reversed the flow from the centres of production in Europe and the United States. I argue that we should assess these products from the ‘periphery’ in their own terms, and not through the lens of the industries of the heartland. I lake the Mexican case as a specific example, and turn then to comparisons between the Australasian soap industry and that in Latin America.

Abstract:

AbstractThe Hipparcos astrometry satellite was launched on 8 August 1989, and after spacecraft and payload commissioning, commenced the routine data acquisition phase on 26 November 1989. Having failed to reach its planned geostationary orbit, major revisions in the mission operations were made, and the post-launch expectations of the mission were strongly degraded with respect to the original goals - principally due to the greatly reduced observational efficiency (caused by the lack of ground station coverage) and the anticipated degraded mission lifetime (as a result of the high-energy particle degradation of the solar arrays in the geostationary transfer orbit).The final astrometric accuracies attainable by the Hipparcos mission will be influenced by the spacecraft and payload performances on the one hand, and by fraction of useful data and mission lifetime on the other. It will be shown that the elemental observational measurements correspond very closely to the predictions, and the data recovery fraction now stands at around 60–70 per cent, so that the ultimate scientific value of the Hipparcos results will be tied directly to the satellite lifetime. A measurement duration of at least 18 months is mandatory if the astrometric parameters (parallaxes and proper motions) are to be decoupled through the data reductions procedures. A somewhat longer lifetime (2.5–3 years) is necessary in order to reduce the errors on the astrometric parameters to the astrophysically-significant accuracies of around 2 milli-arcsec.It will be shown that the present indications of the satellite performances, and the significant progress already made in the data reductions, indicate that the difficulties of the ‘revised’ Hipparcos mission have been largely overcome, and that these target accuracies could still be achievable.

Abstract:

In the naturally regulated population of Soay sheep Ovis aries L.) on Hirta (St Kilda), 12 % of males and 24% of females have scurred horns. This trait reduces the competitive ability of males in the mating season but is associated with higher overwinter survival rates in both sexes (Moorcroft et al . 1996). In this paper, we show that scurred females also show higher conception rates and weaning rates than non–scurred ones, and that these differences are associated with heavier maternal body weight as well as higher birth weights of offspring. Selection pressures favouring scurredness in females vary with population density and are generally more pronounced among younger animals than adults. We discuss these results with reference to recent suggestions that temporal fluctuation in selection pressures may help to maintain genetic diversity within populations. We suggest that selection against scurredness operating through male mating success is opposed by selection favouring this trait, operating through the breeding success of females and the survival of both sexes.

Abstract:

Purpose: This article reports the influence of timing on the clinical outcomes in primary extramacular rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) at a tertiary referral center. Methods: A retrospective case series was conducted of all patients presenting between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2016, with primary extramacular RRD. Retinal detachments with grade C proliferative vitreoretinopathy, combined tractional and RRD, eyes with inflammatory disease, and prior retinal surgery were excluded. The main outcome measures were single-operation anatomic success (SOAS), final anatomic success, and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA). Results: There were 202 eyes of 198 patients with an average of 22 months’ follow-up (range, 6-47 months). Eyes were operated on an average of 1.1 days after initial presentation. At last clinical examination, SOAS had been achieved in 174 (86%) eyes, final anatomic success in 200 (99%) eyes, and average postoperative logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) BCVA was 0.18 (Snellen equivalent, 20/30; SD, 0.36). In those treated the day of presentation, average postoperative logMAR BCVA was 0.18 (Snellen, 20/31) in comparison to 0.18 (Snellen, 20/30) in those treated the day after presentation and 0.14 (Snellen, 20/28) in those treated after 2 days or more ( P = .92). Conclusions: Regarding timing of surgery, SOAS and BCVA outcomes in primary extramacular RRDs were favorable with an urgent and semiurgent approach to repair. There was no difference in visual and anatomic outcomes between patients who were operated on the day of presentation and those treated a short time later when clinical decisions were made by the treating surgeon on a case-by-case basis.
