Detection and diagnosis of plant-wide abnormalities and disturbances are major problems in large-scale complex systems. To determine the root cause(s) of specific abnormalities, it is important to capture the process connectivity and investigate the fault propagation pathways, in which causality...

Information contained within a simple acoustic signal: The fee-bee song of the black-capped chickadee (Poecile atricapillus)
DownloadFall 2015
Black-capped chickadees (Poecile atricapillus) are a common North American songbird that produce numerous types of vocalizations with various functions. The vocal repertoire of black-capped chickadees have been the focus of numerous vocal production and perception studies. Black-capped chickadees...

Investigating the value of incorporating behavioural measures in a discriminant function developed for sex assignment in black-capped chickadees (Poecile atricapillus)
DownloadFall 2021
Black-capped chickadees (Poecile atricapillus) are a sexually monomorphic species that typically require molecular assays or observation of sex-specific behaviours in the breeding season for accurate sex assignment. We developed a discriminant function in a central Albertan chickadee population...

Distributed storage systems (DSSs) traditionally replicate data blocks to achieve storage reliability. Considering the rapid growth of data volume as well as costly maintenance of storage components in DSSs, the replication method is becoming unattractive because of its very large storage...

Urbanization is viewed as a major threat to global biodiversity because of its role in the loss and fragmentation of low-lying, productive habitats associated with coastal plains and river valleys. My study examines the effects of urbanization on the movements and distribution of songbirds in...

Pitch perception in vocal learners: Fundamental shared components of pitch processing and biological relevance
DownloadSpring 2013
Pitch perception is important in both music and language perception in humans. Vocal learners, including humans, share the property of learning their vocalizations from a tutor when young. Similar behavioural and neural mechanisms underlying vocal production among different species of vocal...

Pitch perception is not unitary: Evidence for the perception of pitch chroma in black-capped chickadees.
DownloadFall 2015
Pitch perception is mediated by two attributes: pitch height and pitch chroma. These two attributes can be pitted against one another during an octave equivalence task in order to clarify the dominant perceptual mechanism. Pitch chroma mediates the perceptual phenomenon of octave equivalence,...

For successful correction of errors in a digital communication system, information about the channel, such as timing, noise power, fading gain, etc., should normally be available at the receiver. To this end, most receivers use channel parameter estimation and timing recovery modules. However,...
