Abstract:
In the raptor rehabilitation field, hacking is a special procedure for raising juvenile raptors that simulates natural fledging and allows young raptors—those that cannot yet fly and either are still restricted to or just leaving the nest—a gradual acclimation to independence. Hacking also is known as a ‘soft release.’ This paper focuses on hacking raptors and discusses advantages, disadvantages, hacking age, procedures, hack box design and construction, site selection, fledging age of raptor species, and hack release.

Abstract:
Context. Observational efforts to image the immediate environment of a black hole at the scale of the event horizon benefit from the development of efficient imaging codes that are capable of producing synthetic data, which may be compared with observational data. Aims. We aim to present RAPTOR, a new public code that produces accurate images, animations, and spectra of relativistic plasmas in strong gravity by numerically integrating the equations of motion of light rays and performing time-dependent radiative transfer calculations along the rays. The code is compatible with any analytical or numerical spacetime. It is hardware-agnostic and may be compiled and run both on GPUs and CPUs. Methods. We describe the algorithms used in RAPTOR and test the code’s performance. We have performed a detailed comparison of RAPTOR output with that of other radiative-transfer codes and demonstrate convergence of the results. We then applied RAPTOR to study accretion models of supermassive black holes, performing time-dependent radiative transfer through general relativistic magneto-hydrodynamical (GRMHD) simulations and investigating the expected observational differences between the so-called fast-light and slow-light paradigms. Results. Using RAPTOR to produce synthetic images and light curves of a GRMHD model of an accreting black hole, we find that the relative difference between fast-light and slow-light light curves is less than 5%. Using two distinct radiative-transfer codes to process the same data, we find integrated flux densities with a relative difference less than 0.01%. Conclusions. For two-dimensional GRMHD models, such as those examined in this paper, the fast-light approximation suffices as long as errors of a few percent are acceptable. The convergence of the results of two different codes demonstrates that they are, at a minimum, consistent.

Abstract:
Context. Accreting supermassive black holes are sources of polarized radiation that propagates through highly curved spacetime before reaching the observer. Accurate and efficient numerical schemes for polarized radiative transfer in curved spacetime are needed to help interpret observations of such polarized emission. Aims. We aim to extend our publicly available radiative transfer code RAPTOR to include polarized radiative transfer, so that it can produce simulated polarized observations of accreting black holes. The RAPTOR code must remain compatible with arbitrary spacetimes and it must be efficient in operation, despite the added complexity of polarized radiative transfer. Methods. We provide a brief review of various codes and methods for covariant polarized radiative transfer available in the literature and existing codes, and we present an efficient new scheme. For the spacetime propagation aspect of the computation, we developed a compact, Lorentz-invariant representation of a polarized ray. For the plasma-propagation aspect of the computation, we performed a formal analysis of the stiffness of the polarized radiative-transfer equation with respect to our explicit integrator. We also developed a hybrid integration scheme that switches to an implicit integrator in case of stiffness in order to solve the equation with optimal speed and accuracy for all possible values of the local optical/Faraday thickness of the plasma. Results. We performed a comprehensive code verification by solving a number of well-known test problems using RAPTOR and comparing its output to exact solutions. We also demonstrate convergence with existing polarized radiative-transfer codes in the context of complex astrophysical problems, where we found that the integrated flux densities for all Stokes parameters converged to excellent agreement. Conclusions. The RAPTOR code is capable of performing polarized radiative transfer in arbitrary, highly curved spacetimes. This capability is crucial for interpreting polarized observations of accreting black holes, which can yield information about the magnetic-field configuration in such accretion flows. The efficient formalism implemented in RAPTOR is computationally light and conceptually simple. The code is publicly available.

Abstract:
AbstractUnderstanding how raptors select prey is important to determine taphonomic biases both in modern and paleo pellet assemblages. We tested whether pellets more closely represent raptor dietary specialization or local small mammal diversity by sampling pellets from seven raptor species across four study sites in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA. We identified small mammal craniodental elements from each pellet and tested for differences among small mammal assemblages for each raptor species and study site. We found that reconstructed avian predator diets clustered significantly by site but not by predator species. Bray-Curtis diet dissimilarities were also significantly lower when comparing different raptor species within a site than when comparing the same raptor species across different sites. Our results suggest that raptors choose to eat a diversity of small mammal species close to their roosts rather than fly long distances to specialize on a particular prey species. Neontologists and paleoecologists alike can therefore be confident that raptor pellets faithfully represent local small mammal diversity.

Abstract:
Researchers conduct post-construction fatality monitoring (PCFM) to determine a wind energy facility’s direct impacts on wildlife. Results of PCFM can be used to evaluate compliance with permitted take, potentially triggering adaptive management measures or offsetting mitigation; reducing uncertainty in fatality rates benefits wind companies, wildlife agencies, and other stakeholders. As part of PCFM, investigators conduct carcass persistence trials to account for imperfect detection during carcass surveys. In most PCFM studies, pen-raised game birds and other non-raptor surrogates have been used to estimate persistence of all large birds, including raptors. However, there is a growing body of evidence showing carcass persistence varies by bird type; raptor fatality estimates based on game bird carcass persistence may therefore be biased high. We conducted raptor and game bird carcass persistence field trials for 1 year at 6 wind energy facilities. Raptor carcass persistence varied by habitat and season, whereas the best-supported game bird model only included habitat. Raptor persistence probabilities were higher than corresponding game bird persistence probabilities for 13 of the 16 habitat and season combinations. Analysis of a curated large bird persistence meta-dataset showed that raptor carcass persistence varied by season, habitat, and region. The probability of persisting through a 30-day search interval ranged from 0.44 to 0.99 for raptors and from 0.16 to 0.79 for game birds. Raptor persistence was significantly higher than game bird persistence for 95% of the sampled strata. We used these carcass persistence estimates to develop linear mixed-effects models that predict raptor persistence probabilities based on estimated game bird persistence probabilities. Our scaling model provides an important statistical method to address gaps in raptor persistence data at sites in a broad range of landscape contexts in the continental United States and should be used to inform fatality estimation when site-specific raptor persistence data are limited or absent.

Abstract:
Flapping flight is relatively costly for soaring birds such as raptors. To avoid costly flight, migrating raptors generally avoid flying over water. As a result, all but one of the global raptor migration flyways are largely over land. The East Asian oceanic flyway for raptors is the exception. Raptor species using this flyway migrate by island-hopping, flying over open ocean for distances of up to 300 km between islands. We used satellite telemetry data for grey-faced buzzards Butastur indicus , a species that dominates the southern part of the flyway, to investigate the geographical and atmospheric factors responsible for the suitability of this flyway for raptor migration. Using a combination of least-cost path analysis and a step selection function, we found that the occurrence of numerous islands and also suitable wind support along the oceanic flyway are responsible for route selection in grey-faced buzzards. These results confirm the role of islands, but also wind, in shaping the East Asian oceanic flyway of long-distance raptor migration.

Abstract:
Migratory birds are birds that fly or move from their breeding place to their non-breeding location. Migratory birds usually migrate to the southern part of the earth or tropical regions to avoid limited resources during winter in their breeding areas (Bildstein, 2006). Bird of Prey or Raptors are a group of birds that frequently migrate. Raptors carry out-migration in several areas which are commonly referred to as flyways. Indonesia is also part of the flight path for migratory birds (Sukmantoro et al., 2007). At this time there were approximately 17 types of migrant raptors in Indonesia. Research on raptor migration has been carried out for a long time in various regions. In the Yogyakarta area, there have been observations of a migrant raptor, but there are no official publications and research on migrant raptor in the Bukit 76 Kaliurang area, Yogyakarta. Therefore this research was conducted to know about migratory raptor in Yogyakarta. This research was conducted at Bukit 76 Kaliurang, Hargobinangun, Pakem, Yogyakarta. The research was conducted in December 2019-March 2020, July-August 2020, and October-November 2020. This research was conductes through observations in the morning at 07.00-11.00 WIB using birdwatching techniques and purposive methods. The results of this study recorded 1 species of migrant raptor, namely the Oriental Honey-buzzard (Pernis ptilorhynchus) and 2 species of resident raptors, namely the Crested Serpent Eagle (Spilornis cheela) and the Brahminy Kite (Haliastur indus).

Abstract:
During the 1400s and 1500s, noblemen and noblewoman were expected to participate in falconry. Therefore, I was surprised to discover that there was hardly anything written about the ca. 1500 portrait of James IV of Scotland with a Peregrine falcon, extant only in a copy by Daniel Mytens in 1620-1636. What was written was limited to issues of style and attribution of the copy painted by Mytens. There was nothing at all about the falcon or falconry implements represented in the portrait. To understand the function of this portrait, I considered the material culture and physical practices of falconry, the specific habits and characteristics of the falcon, symbolism of falconry in courtly love poetry, the history and culture of animals, the history and economic state of Scotland, and the actual expenses of the practice as recorded in court documents. I argue that the original watercolor portrait of James IV of Scotland with a Peregrine falcon functioned as a marriage portrait. Specifically, the relationship between James and his female falcon in the portrait served to promise a relationship of mutual trust, respect and loyalty between James and his bride-to-be in the future.

Abstract:
In this project, we investigate the performance of Raptor codes as candidatesfor channel coding for the wireless communication between access nodes.Very high data-rates are used, and processing uses more resources than transmission.Therefore, we need fast encoding and decoding algorithms for thechannel coding. Raptor codes have linear encoding and decoding times, andcan have very small overhead if they are properly designed. Hence, they arepossible candidates. We have implemented an encoding and decoding algorithm for Raptorcodes, as well as an environment for simulation. The system requirementsare expressed in terms of delay between the beginning of a transmission andthe successful decoding, and storage required during the transmission and processing.We have evaluated the performance of Raptor codes in terms of delayand storage as a function of system design parameters, in particular the numberof nodes in the network, and the size of the packets. We show that if thesize of the packets is properly chosen, Raptor codes can be useful for the application,and we explain the method for choosing the size of the packets. Wealso provide a way to calculate the delay and the storage for a given systemconfiguration, in order for example to determinate the larger number of nodesor the larger of users such that the delay and the storage are acceptable.

Abstract:
This study documents the 1996 and 1997 autumn migration seasons at Grassy Key for 16 species of raptors (hawks, eagles, and falcons). My results indicate the Florida Keys are a major raptor migration flyway (over 26,000 sightings). I identified factors influencing watch-site location in the Keys. Northbound flights must be included to avoid inflating southbound counts. By removing the "season effect" (natural rise, peak, and wane of raptor numbers during migration), I demonstrate wind has little consistent effect on raptor counts in the Keys. I further demonstrate we do not see more raptors on cold front days than on non-cold front days. However, cold fronts following tropical storms (as in 1996) increase the number of raptors observed for most species. I conducted a nightly roosting survey on Boot Key resulting in near or over 3,000 raptor sightings per season and present a model to predict aerial counts from roosting counts.

Full text
Abstract:
Skeletal muscle is the largest organ in the body comprising 40% of total body mass. Skeletal muscle mass is the result of an equilibrium between protein synthesis and protein breakdown. When protein synthesis overcomes protein degradation the result is muscle hypertrophy with increased fiber size. Better understanding of the signaling pathways controlling muscle mass and function is of great importance. Indeed so far there are no therapeutic approaches that can prevent or reduce muscle wasting, as seen in aging and muscular dystrophy. While various studies have identified important regulators of adult skeletal muscle mass, little is known about how these pathways can modulate muscle function. One of the main pathways regulating skeletal muscle is the Akt-mTOR pathway. Under anabolic conditions, mTOR is activated, leading to increased protein synthesis through the phosphorylation of S6K1 and 4EBP1. On the other hand, mTOR activation can also lead to the inhibition of protein degradation through the phosphorylation of Ulk1, which is involved in the autophagosome formation. mTOR assembles into two distinct multiprotein complexes, namely the rapamycin-sensitive complex mTORC1 and the rapamycin-insensitive complex mTORC2. While mTORC2 is mainly involved in cytoskeleton reorganization, mTORC1 plays a role in cell growth and protein synthesis. One of the key members of the mTORC1 is a 150kDa protein called Raptor, which has been shown to be able to recruit mTOR substrates S6K1 and 4EBP1 on mTORC1, promoting their phosphorylation (Hara et al., 2002) (Kim et al., 2002). Mice lacking Raptor only in skeletal muscle from birth show a pronounced myopathy leading to premature death (Bentzinger et al., 2008). However, treating adult mice with the specific mTORC1 inhibitor rapamycin does not lead to a myopathic phenotype and even improves muscle physiology in aged mice (Harrison et al., 2009). So, we wondered what happens if Raptor is deleted in adult skeletal muscle. We, therefore, generated an inducible muscle-specific Raptor knock-out mouse line (HSA-Raptor ko). One month of Raptor deletion in adult muscle does not affect muscle mass or muscle morphology. In addition, also muscle force production is comparable between control and knock-out animals, confirming that at this time point there are no myopathies. Since in literature it has been reported that deletion of Raptor from birth leads to premature death around 5-6 months of age, we decided to monitor mice lifespan and body weight for a longer period after deletion. We observed that body weight during these months is unchanged between wt and Raptor ko mice, so we decided to sacrifice mice 7 months after the beginning of the treatment to assess muscle histology. At this time point, muscles from Raptor ko mice showed signs of a muscle myopathy, with centronucleated fibers, a high number of small and large muscle fibers, central structures and inflammation. In addition, we observed that Raptor knock-out muscles show a huge amount of spontaneous fibrillation spikes at rest, suggesting the presence of denervated fibers. Furthermore, mitochondrial membrane potential and respiratory chain complex activity are impaired upon Raptor deletion. These features result in compromised muscle performance and exercise intolerance. Moreover, while metabolic characteristics upon Raptor deletion shift from oxidative to glycolytic fibers with glycogen accumulation, structural properties reveal the opposite behaviour, with a shift from fast- to slow- twitch fibers. This is likely linked to the increased activity of calcineurin- NFAT pathway seen in Raptor ko muscles. Since understanding the key players in the regulation of muscle mass can be of therapeutic interest, we wanted to understand the role of Raptor during Akt-induced hypertrophy. So, we generate an inducible muscle- specific Akt-Raptor ko mouse line. Akt overexpression results in a strong increase in cross-sectional area of muscle fibers, which is only partially reduced upon Raptor deletion. Moreover, fiber hypertrophy is completely blunted when Akt-Raptor ko mice are treated with the mTORC1 inhibitor, rapamycin. We also found that Akt-Raptor ko mice are significantly weaker than controls, meaning that Akt-induced hypertrophy in the absence of Raptor is not functional anymore. In addition, this effect is not reverted by rapamycin administration, as seen in Akt-S6K1 knock-out mice (Marabita et al., 2016).
I muscoli scheletrici costituiscono il 40% di tutto l’organismo. Il tessuto muscolare è un tessuto molto plastico e dinamico che si adatta in relazione ai diversi stimoli. La massa muscolare è il risultato di un equilibrio tra sintesi e degradazione proteica: una maggior sintesi delle proteine muscolari porta infatti ad ipertrofia mentre una maggior degradazione associata ad una ridotta sintesi ha come conseguenza uno stato atrofico del muscolo. Una migliore conoscenza delle vie di segnale che regolano la crescita e la funzione muscolare diventano di particolare importanza terapeutica per prevenire la perdita di massa associata sia all’invecchiamento, che a diverse patologie, quali ad esempio distrofie e sclerosi. Una delle vie maggiormente implicate nella regolazione della crescita muscolare è la via Akt-mTOR. In condizioni anaboliche, mTOR è attivo e promuove la sintesi proteica attraverso la fosforilazione di S6K1 e 4EBP1. Inoltre, mTOR va anche a bloccare la degradazione proteica attraverso l’inibizione di una proteina che partecipa alla formazione dell’autofagosoma, Ulk1. mTOR esiste sotto forma di due complessi multiproteici: mTORC1, implicato nella crescita cellulare, e mTORC2, che regola la riorganizzazione del citoscheletro. Uno dei componenti principali di mTORC1 è la proteina Raptor, che è in grado di reclutare i substrati di mTORC1, quali ad esempio S6K1 e 4EBP1, promuovendone la fosforilazione (Hara et al., 2002) (Kim et al., 2002). Topi in cui Raptor è assente nel muscolo scheletrico dalla nascita sviluppano una severa miopatia, risultante in una morte prematura degli animali (Bentzinger et al., 2008). Tuttavia, il trattamento di topi adulti con rapamicina, che inibisce selettivamente mTORC1, non porta a patologie muscolari e, anzi, migliora la fisiologia del muscolo di topi anziani (Harrison et al., 2009). Considerando questi risultati contradditori, ci siamo chiesti quale sia il ruolo di Raptor nel muscolo adulto. Abbiamo, quindi, generato un modello murino in cui Raptor viene deleto nel muscolo scheletrico in maniera inducibile. Un mese di delezione di Raptor non ha effetti sulla morfologia o sulla funzionalità del muscolo. Considerando che in letteratura i topi knock-out per Raptor dalla nascita muoiono attorno ai 5-6 mesi, abbiamo deciso di monitorare il peso corporeo e la durata della vita per un periodo di tempo maggiore. Abbiamo notato che, durante questi mesi, il peso rimane invariato tra i topi controllo e i topi knock-out; abbiamo, quindi, deciso di sacrificare gli animali 7 mesi dopo l’inizio del trattamento per controllare l’istologia del muscolo. A questo punto, i muscoli dei topi Raptor ko mostrano segni miopatici, con fibre centronucleate, fibre atrofiche e ipertrofiche, strutture centrali e infiammazione. Inoltre, abbiamo notato che i muscoli knock-out presentano fibrillazioni spontanee e quindi attività elettrica a riposo, suggerendo la presenza di fibre denervate. La delezione di Raptor, inoltre, ha portato ad una severa depolarizzazione mitocondriale e ad una ridotta attività di alcuni complessi della catena respiratoria. Tutti questi effetti sono facilmente collegabili alla significativa debolezza muscolare osservata in questi topi. Dal momento che una più approfondita conoscenza dei mediatori maggiormente implicati nella crescita muscolare può essere di interesse terapeutico, abbiamo deciso di generare una nuova linea murina in cui Akt viene espresso e Raptor deleto solo nel muscolo scheletrico in maniera inducibile al fine di valutare quale sia il ruolo di Raptor nella crescita indotta dall’overespressione di Akt. Nei topi Akt-Raptor ko, l’ipertrofia delle fibre muscolari è solo parzialmente ridotta in confronto a quella osservata nei topi Akt. Incredibilmente, il trattamento con rapamicina significativamente diminuisce la crescita indotta da Akt, anche in assenza di Raptor. Inoltre, i topi Akt-Raptor ko mostrano una ridotta forza muscolare, suggerendo che l’ipertrofia dipendente da Akt in assenza di Raptor non è più funzionale. Quest’effetto non è normalizzato neanche dalla somministrazione di rapamicina, com’era stato visto nei topi Akt- S6K1 ko (Marabita et al., 2016).

Abstract:
Of the 36 diurnal raptor species in North America, 31 (~86%) are either complete or partial migrants. During fall and spring, raptors use "leading lines" or topographic features, such as mountain ranges, rivers, and coastlines that help guide them during their migration, and sometimes are redirected by diversion lines, or barriers that they are hesitant to cross (e.g., large bodies of water). Our objective was to assess the use of mountain ranges and rivers in central and southeastern Arizona by migrating raptors and to determine physical and ecological factors that are important to raptor migration across the United States. We counted migrating raptors in the spring and fall for two years at ten paired count stations in central and southeastern Arizona. Arizona counts were incorporated with counts from across the United States to determine physical and ecological features that influence migration rates. Raptor counts for central and southeastern Arizona averaged 2.0 raptors/hour, and were similar to what is observed at most other counting stations in the Central and Pacific Flyways. Stepwise regression models for the United States indicated counts were negatively related to distance from a diversion barrier and positively related to continuity of elevation. Understanding the factors that influence migrating raptors will inform decisions about environmental modifications and their potential influence on raptor populations. The following appendices are written and formatted to be submitted to journals. Although part of a thesis, they are written in plural to reflect the necessary authorship for journal submission. The first appendix, titled "Assessment of raptor migration corridors in central and southeastern Arizona", will be submitted to the Southwestern Naturalist. The second appendix, title "Assessment of raptor migration corridors in the United States", will be submitted to the Journal of Raptor Research.

We investigate the design of Raptor codes---a class of fountain codes---over Gaussian channels. In this thesis, we prove that there exists no universal choice of input degree distribution or constructing capacity-achieving Raptor codes using mean-LLR, EXIT chart approach. An approach of finding input and output degree distribution jointly is proposed. Through the codes constructed by this approach, we show our approach uniformly outperforms an existing heuristic approach over all Gaussian channels. However, there still exists a gap to channel capacity for Raptor codes constructed by mean-LLR. EXIT chart based approach.
