Comparison of breeding biology aspects of Fluvicola nengeta (Aves: Tyrannidae) between two nesting sites

Fluvicola nengeta is an insectivorous bird that belongs to the Tyrannidae family, which lives close to bodies of water and can occur in urban areas as well. It makes use of natural and man-made substrates to build its nests. This study aims at describing the reproductive biology of F. nengeta by comparing nests built on vegetation and man-made structures as to their shapes, nest dimensions, building materials, distance from bodies of water and reproductive success. Forty-four nests were found, where 30 were located in vegetation and 14 on man-made structures. Nests did not exhibit any single pattern and were divided into three distinct shapes: closed/globular/base; closed/ovoid/base (45.5%; n = 5 for both) and low cup/base (9%; n = 1). Nests built on man-made structures exhibited a larger amount of anthropic material, such as plastic and paper, instead of plant-derived materials. Nests on man-made structures were found to be higher up from the ground (459.8 ± 46.9 m) and farther from water (232.9 ± 54.8 m) in comparison to those on vegetation (92.2 ± 28.6 m and 7.3 ± 4.7 m, respectively), aside from exhibiting a higher Mayfield reproductive success (37%) when compared to nests built on vegetation (34%). The estimated values of the daily survival rate (DSR) for vegetation nests were 0.997 for the incubation period and 0.928 for the nestling period. In man-made structure nests, DSRs were 0.968 and 0.964, respectively, during the incubation and nestling periods. The period survival rate (PSR) of nests in vegetation was significantly higher than the PSRs of nests in man-made structures during the incubation period. DSRs did not differ between incubation and nestling periods for either nesting sites.     

The Predictive Performance Evaluation of Biased Regression Predictors With Correlated Errors

When the interdependence of disturbances is present in a regression model, the pattern of sample residuals contains information which is useful in the prediction of post‐sample drawings and when multicollinearity among regressors is also present, it is useful to use biased regression estimators. This information is exploited in the biased predictors derived here. Also, the predictive performance of various biased predictors with correlated errors is discussed and all pair‐wise comparisons are made among these predictors. The theoretical results are illustrated by a numerical example. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

轨道站点公共交通导向的开发综合指数对周边建筑停车配建指标的影响

围绕轨道站TOD开发是支撑城市低碳交通发展,降低小汽车出行依赖的重要举措。目前,国内多个城市对轨道站点周边建筑停车配建指标进行了均质化数值的折减,对轨道站点能级差异、距离差异等要素对停车需求影响研究相对较少。本文在传统的轨道站点“节点-场所”模型基础上,引入“联系”维度评价以系统刻画出行者从轨道交通站点到达周边建筑的交通衔接转换过程的影响,从节点、场所、联系三个维度构建了轨道交通站TOD综合指数量化模型,以反映不同的轨道站点类别、交通衔接条件、出行距离对停车需求变化的影响,并提出轨道站点TOD综合指数对周边建筑停车配建指标影响计算方法。最后,以南京市停车配建指标修订研究为例,通过对城市不同分区及不同类别轨道站点TOD综合指数测算,提出了轨道站点周边建筑的停车配建指标折减数值的计算方法。

残余油微观分布定量化解释及孔隙微观结构变化研究

为进一步研究不同孔隙下残余油饱和度的分布状况,以及残余油对于孔隙微观结构的影响,利用压汞法进汞毛管力曲线计算岩心原始孔隙半径;结合退汞毛管力曲线建立了不同孔隙半径所对应的残余油饱和度计算方法。在此基础上,利用分形理论研究空白岩心及退汞饱和度下的分形维数变化。结果表明:孔隙半径处于1.1~5μm范围相对大孔隙的分形维数高于半径处于0.03~1.1μm范围内小孔隙的分形维数,大孔隙不规则性强于小孔隙;同时在残余油饱和度下,岩心微观孔隙分形维数基本保持恒定,为2.065左右;且进汞时小孔隙维数D-in2、退汞时维数D分别与最大进汞饱和度和退汞饱和度具有明显线性关系。可见,通过开展对孔隙当中微观残余油分布的研究,对今后从降低残余油饱和度角度进行提高采收率研究具有非常重要的学术价值。
