Spatial and temporal variability in lake trout diets in Lake Ontario as revealed by stomach contents and stable isotopes

Lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) are an ecologically and economically important piscivore with reported differences in diet and feeding behaviour throughout its range. Eleven stomach content and stable isotope-based metrics were used to describe diets of 349 lake trout between two years (2013 and 2018) and among geographic zones (west, central, east, Kingston basin) in Lake Ontario. Using individual (e.g., volumetric, %V) and aggregate (e.g., index of relative importance, %IRI) diet metrics, we found an overwhelming dominance of alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus) in lake trout diets among some zones in 2013 (%V = 23.3 – 92.7; %IRI = 12.2 – 99.5) and all zones in 2018 (%V = 83.9 – 96.7; %IRI = 96.5 – 100). Round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) and rainbow smelt (Osmerus mordax) were secondary lake trout prey items with relative diet percentages only marginally reflected by spatial and temporal variation in prey abundance (round goby: %V = 1.0 – 33.3, %IRI = 0.1 – 13.2; rainbow smelt: %V = 2.5 – 54.0, %IRI = 0.1 – 54.0). Carbon (δ¹³C) and nitrogen (δ¹⁵N) isotopic niche areas and orientations were similar across all year-zone combinations reinforcing temporal and spatial consistency in lake trout diet. The findings of this study advance the time series in describing Lake Ontario lake trout diets and can be used to complement stock assessments and management decisions associated with carrying capacity for the diverse salmonid community.     

非零速启停的低功耗步进电机控制器研究

为了优化步进电机开环控制性能,对非零速启停的加减速曲线算法及其低功耗硬件逻辑实现进行了研究。针对零速启停的加减速曲线存在控制性能难以充分发挥的问题,提出了一种非零速启停的步进电机线性加减速曲线算法,将加减速过程划分为四种转动模式,可构建任意的线性速度剖面。首先理论推导了四种加减速转动模式的控制脉冲周期;其次结合流水线设计思想优化加减速曲线算法的硬件逻辑模型,在FPGA中设计了步进电机控制器IP核,并采用门控时钟等低功耗IC设计技术实现了IP核的低功耗;最后,搭建了实验平台进行验证。实验结果表明,IP核可以实现四种转动模式的非零速启停控制,实现了高实时、高精度驱动,提升了20%的控制性能,电路面积优化约30%,功耗降低53%,验证了方案的可行性与有效性。     

基于引力搜索算法的分数阶变异时序回归GSA-TSGM(1,1)模型

为了利用分数阶累加算子在灰色短期预测中的高效性能,首次将分数阶累加算子引入变异时序回归模型以期取得更高的预测精度。主要方法如下：首先取湖北省链子崖某监测点1978—1987年的十年数据作为训练集并使用引力搜索算法确定最佳分数阶累加阶数,而1988—1993年的六年数据作为验证集验证提出的模型;其次对比了经典灰色模型GM(1,1)、分数阶累加灰色模型、变异时序回归模型TSGM(1,1)三种灰色模型。结果如下：首先修正了陈西江等人变异时序回归模型仿真时出现的错误,其次表明了相比于其他的模型,基于引力搜索算法的分数阶累加时序回归模型在进行灰色长期预测中具有较高的预测精度。因此,通过分数阶累加算子提高了灰色理论中长期预测模型的精度,为灰色长期预测提供了指导。

怒江流域云南区段降雨时空变化分析

利用怒江流域云南区段及其毗邻地区77个站点1980~2009年雨量资料,以及怒江干流道街坝站1957~2015年和南汀河支流姑老河站1960~2015年降雨、径流资料,研究该流域降雨区域分异特征及变化趋势。结果表明:怒江流域云南区段多年平均面雨量达1 336.7 mm,远大于全省平均降雨量;怒江干流云南区段上游贡山地区和下游支流苏帕河流域,以及支流南汀河流域下游多年平均降雨量达1 500 mm以上,而干流的中游怒江坝干热河谷不足1 000 mm,降水空间分布格局与西南季风强弱及纵向岭谷地形密切相关;怒江流域云南区段降水量呈下降趋势,与怒江上游西藏区域相反,支流南汀河流域面雨量减少速率(56 mm/10 a)大于怒江干流云南区段(29 mm/10 a);怒江流域云南区段夏季降水占全年降水量的51%,怒江干流云南区段与支流南汀河流域降水量差异主要表现在夏季;怒江流域云南区段春季降水量呈增加趋势,夏季、秋季和冬季降水量呈减少趋势;怒江干流道街坝站、支流南汀河姑老河站降雨量长周期分别为36 a和33 a左右,从降雨变化长周期来看,2002年以来的少水期将持续到2018~2020年。怒江干流云南区段降水量变化的Hurst指数值为0.69,表明其未来趋势与过去一致,仍将延续降水量减少的变化趋势。

Face detection based on skin color likelihood

We propose a face detection method based on skin color likelihood via a boosting algorithm which emphasizes skin color information while deemphasizing non-skin color information. A stochastic model is adapted to compute the similarity between a color region and the skin color. Both Haar-like features and Local Binary Pattern (LBP) features are utilized to build a cascaded classifier. The boosted classifier is implemented based on skin color emphasis to localize the face region from a color image. Based on our experiments, the proposed method shows good tolerance to face pose variation and complex background with significant improvements over classical boosting-based classifiers in terms of total error rate performance.     

Urban water demand,climatic variation,and irrigation-water insecurity: interactive stressors and lessons for water governance from the Angat River basin (Philippines)

Climatic variation and intersectoral water competition increasingly challenge the effective provision of irrigation services. This article explores their combined effects on irrigation allocation from the Angat Reservoir (Philippines), where domestic water use in Metro Manila has overtaken regional irrigation as the dominant right-holder. Rules protecting Metro Manila’s large right to water ‘interact’ with dry spells to affect irrigation security in wet and dry seasons. Historically, irrigators were uncompensated because re-allocation’s cause was contested as (1) an unforeseeable climatic event (releasing domestic utilities of liability), or (2) produced by urban demand (requiring compensation). Trade-off rules must be prepared to navigate combinatory effects.
