Background: A juvenile Crowned Eagle was tagged at its nest with a satellite transmitter. The Crowned Eagle (Harpyhaliaetus coronatus) is one of the most unknown raptor species from the American continent. Their current distribution ranges from central Brazil to central Argentina, with a total population of 350–1500 individuals across this large area, being thus largely fragmented. Results: Dur...

Recent work has leveraged the unique genealogical structure and extensive genotyping (>30%) of the Icelandic population to perform long-range phasing (LRP), enabling accurate imputation and association analysis of rare variants in target samples typed on genotyping arrays. Here, we develop a fast and accurate LRP method, Eagle, that extends this paradigm to outbred populations by harnessing lon...

Diagnostic records of 227 bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) and 78 golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) collected in Saskatchewan, during 1992 to 2012, were reviewed to identify common causes of mortality. The most frequent cause of death in bald eagles was toxicosis (53%), followed by trauma (22%), electrocution (6%), infectious disease (4%), malnutrition (3%), and idiopathic disease (2%). T...

We obtain bounds on the dimension of a linear space S of nilpotent n×n matrices over an arbitrary field. We consider the case where bounds k and r are known for the nilindex and rank respectively, and find the best possible dimensional bound on the subspace S in terms of the quantities n, k and r. We also consider the case where information is known concerning the Jordan forms of matrices in S ...

It is safe to say that the theory of modular representations of finite groups is not a part of the average mathematician's toolkit. Matrix representations of finite groups over the complex field, and the resulting characters (traces of matrices), occur rather widely in both pure and applied mathematics. But replacing complex numbers by elements of a finite or other field of prime characteristic...

While we were able to exploit existing research for many of the design issues, it turned out that we needed to develop our own approach to text planning (Rambow 1990). This paper will present the system and a t tempt to show how these design objectives led to particular design decisions. The structure of the paper is as follows. In Section 2, we will present the underlying application and give ...
