Estimation of wind speed using regional frequency analysis based on linear‐moments - Muhammad Fawad; Ishfaq Ahmad; Falaq Ali Nadeem; Ting Yan; Aamar Abbas (International Journal of Climatology, 2018)
The quantiles of annual maximum wind speed (AMWS) can be estimated for different meteorological stations of interest by using at‐site frequency analysis and extreme value theory. These estimates are of immense importance for the codification of wind speed. However, the historical data of wind speed at the number of meteorological stations are sometimes unavailable and often insufficient due to the shorter length, especially in developing countries like Pakistan. The scarcity of the data increases the uncertainty of the quantiles estimates regarding policy implications. To cope with the problem, an approach of Regional Frequency Analysis (RFA) is opted here. In this study, RFA of AMWS using linear‐moments (L‐moments) is carried out by considering wind speed data of nine meteorological stations of province Punjab, Pakistan. No station is found to be discordant. A single homogenous region is constituted from these nine stations using a subjective approach based on their geographical locations. Heterogeneity measures justify that these nine stations of Punjab form a single homogeneous region. Regional quantiles estimates are found through the most appropriate probability distribution among generalized normal (GNO), generalized logistic (GLO), Pearson Type 3 (P3), generalized Pareto (GPA), Weibull (WEI), log Pearson Type 3 (LP3) and generalized extreme value (GEV) distributions. Z ‐statistic and L‐moment ratio diagram suggest that GLO and GNO distributions are better choices than others. Robustness of both distributions is evaluated through relative bias (RB) and relative root mean square error (RRMSE). Findings indicate that overall, GLO distribution is better than GNO. Further, we also find at‐site quantiles from dimensionless quantities (regional quantiles) using the sample mean and median as scaling factors. Quantiles' estimates calculated from this study can be used in codified structural designs for policy implications.

A novel application of cultural consensus models to evaluate conservation education programs - K.A.I. Nekaris; Sharon McCabe; Denise Spaan; Muhammad Imron Ali; Vincent Nijman (Conservation Biology, 2018)
Conservation professionals recognize the need to evaluate education initiatives with a flexible approach that is culturally appropriate. Cultural‐consensus theory (CCT) provides a framework for measuring the extent to which beliefs are communally held and has long been applied by social scientists. In a conservation‐education context, we applied CCT and used free lists (i.e., a list of items on a topic stated in order of cultural importance) and domain analysis (analysis of how free lists go together within a cultural group) to evaluate a conservation education program in which we used a children's picture book to increase knowledge about and empathy for a critically endangered mammal, the Javan slow loris ( Nycticebus javanicus ). We extracted free lists of keywords generated by students ( n = 580 in 18 schools) from essays they wrote before and after the education program. In 2 classroom sessions conducted approximately 18 weeks apart, we asked students to write an essay about their knowledge of the target species and then presented a book and several activities about slow loris ecology. Prior to the second session, we asked students to write a second essay. We generated free lists from both essays, quantified salience of terms used, and conducted minimal residuals factor analysis to determine presence of cultural domains surrounding slow lorises in each session. Students increased their use of words accurately associated with slow loris ecology and conservation from 43% in initial essays to 76% in final essays. Domain coherence increased from 22% to 47% across schools. Fifteen factors contributed to the domain slow loris. Between the first and second essays, factors that showed the greatest change were feeding ecology and slow loris as a forest protector, which increased 7‐fold, and the humancentric factor, which decreased 5‐fold. As demonstrated by knowledge retention and creation of unique stories and conservation opinions, children achieved all six levels of Bloom's taxonomy of learning domains. Free from the constraints of questionnaires and surveys, CCT methods provide a promising avenue to evaluate conservation education programs.

Hydroxylamine‐dependent anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) by “ Candidatus Brocadia sinica” - Mamoru Oshiki; Muhammad Ali; Kaori Shinyako‐Hata; Hisashi Satoh; Satoshi Okabe (Environmental Microbiology, 2016)
Summary Although metabolic pathways and associated enzymes of anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) of ‘ Ca . Kuenenia stuttgartiensis’ have been studied, those of other anammox bacteria are still poorly understood. reduction to NO is considered to be the first step in the anammox metabolism of ‘ Ca . K. stuttgartiensis’, however, ‘ Ca . Brocadia’ lacks the genes that encode canonical NO‐forming nitrite reductases (NirS or NirK) in its genome, which is different from ‘ Ca . K. stuttgartiensis’. Here, we studied the anammox metabolism of ‘ Ca . Brocadia sinica’. 15 N‐tracer experiments demonstrated that ‘ Ca . B. sinica’ cells could reduce to NH 2 OH, instead of NO, with as yet unidentified nitrite reductase(s). Furthermore, N 2 H 4 synthesis, downstream reaction of reduction, was investigated using a purified ‘ Ca . B. sinica' hydrazine synthase (Hzs) and intact cells. Both the ‘ Ca . B. sinica’ Hzs and cells utilized NH 2 OH and , but not NO and , for N 2 H 4 synthesis and further oxidized N 2 H 4 to N 2 gas. Taken together, the metabolic pathway of ‘ Ca . B. sinica’ is NH 2 OH‐dependent and different from the one of ‘ Ca . K. stuttgartiensis’, indicating metabolic diversity of anammox bacteria.
