Difficulty of getting accurate and precise estimates of population size: The case of the Siberian flying squirrel in Finland
2008
Accurate estimates of population size and distribution are a prerequisite for effective management of populations, but for most species a reliable estimation of the absolute population size is very difficult. In 1998, the Finnish Ministry of Environment set up a working group to plan a national-level survey for estimation and monitoring of the population size of Siberian flying squirrel (Pteromys volans). In 2006, the population size was reported to be 143 000 females. However, evaluation of the magnitude of possible biases was not attempted. Our aim was to test the population size estimate by conducting a resampling study with the methods of the national survey on an eartagged population o…

Introgression of mitochondrial DNA among Myodes voles: consequences for energetics?
2011
Background Introgression of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is among the most frequently described cases of reticulate evolution. The tendency of mtDNA to cross interspecific barriers is somewhat counter-intuitive considering the key function of enzymes that it encodes in the oxidative-phosphorylation process, which could give rise to hybrid dysfunction. How mtDNA reticulation affects the evolution of metabolic functions is, however, uncertain. Here we investigated how morpho-physiological traits vary in natural populations of a common rodent (the bank vole, Myodes glareolus) and whether this variation could be associated with mtDNA introgression. First, we confirmed that M. glareolus harbour mtD…
Impact of Renewables in Spanish Electricity Markets
2021
El objetivo de la presente tesis es analizar el impacto de la introducción de las energías renovables en el sistema eléctrico español. El sistema eléctrico español es elegido como ejemplo paradigmático debido al intenso crecimiento observado en las renovables en los últimos años, en especial de energía eólica. Su contenido se estructura en 3 capítulos: En el primer Capitulo, ”Effects of renewable on the stylized facts of electricity prices”, se analiza el impacto de las renovables en el precio resultante de la subasta del mercado diario (también llamado precio spot) siendo objeto de estudio no solo el comportamiento del precio en niveles, sino también sus características principales, como …
Magnetic Field Control of Combustion Dynamics
2016
Abstract Experimental studies and mathematical modelling of the effects of magnetic field on combustion dynamics at thermo-chemical conversion of biomass are carried out with the aim of providing control of the processes developing in the reaction zone of swirling flame. The joint research of the magnetic field effect on the combustion dynamics includes the estimation of this effect on the formation of the swirling flame dynamics, flame temperature and composition, providing analysis of the magnetic field effects on the flame characteristics. The results of experiments have shown that the magnetic field exerts the influence on the flow velocity components by enhancing a swirl motion in the …
Micro-thermometry and minerochemical composition of ultramafic xenoliths and minerals from Mt. Vulture volcano (southern Italy)
2022
Here minerochemical composition and micro-thermometric data of ultramafic xenoliths (wehrlite) and loose xenocrysts (olivine and Cr-diopside) from the last melilitite-carbonatite explosive volcanic activity of Mt. Vulture volcano. In addition, some geometrical parameters of pelletal lapilli are reported.
Marginalità, esclusione sociale e politiche di intervento. Studi e ricerche dei laboratori dei corsi di studio in servizio sociale
2022
Il volume raccoglie alcuni contributi scaturiti da attività di ricerca e didattica di due laboratori dei Corsi di studio in Servizio sociale del Dipartimento Culture e società dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo: il Laboratorio Interdisciplinare di ricerca su Corpi, Diritti, Conflitti e il Laboratorio di Servizio sociale. Marginale è chi vive una condizione di estraneità e non-appartenenza al contesto sociale, chi viene a trovarsi ai margini, ai confini del sistema sociale, a distanza dai processi centrali di distribuzione delle risorse sociali, non solo materiali, a indicare che le disuguaglianze sociali sono strettamente riconducibili a gradi diversi di integrazione sociale, e che la q…
A coupled discontinuous Galerkin-Finite Volume framework for solving gas dynamics over embedded geometries
2021
Author(s): Gulizzi, Vincenzo; Almgren, Ann S; Bell, John B | Abstract: We present a computational framework for solving the equations of inviscid gas dynamics using structured grids with embedded geometries. The novelty of the proposed approach is the use of high-order discontinuous Galerkin (dG) schemes and a shock-capturing Finite Volume (FV) scheme coupled via an $hp$ adaptive mesh refinement ($hp$-AMR) strategy that offers high-order accurate resolution of the embedded geometries. The $hp$-AMR strategy is based on a multi-level block-structured domain partition in which each level is represented by block-structured Cartesian grids and the embedded geometry is represented implicitly by a…
