An exception is <i>B. milami</i> (Nebeker & Gaufin, 1967) that has much more divided Ep-scl than other members of the genus. Nevertheless, its epiproct and the entire terminalia share the other features distinctive for the genus. Lacking process on Tg 9 of the type species <i>B. gregsoni</i> (Ricker, 1965) can be regarded as a secondary loss, because of the presence of a setose hump instead of a process.</p>Published as part of <i>Murányi, Dávid, Gamboa, Maribet & Orci, Kirill Márk, 2014, Zwicknia gen. n., a new genus for the Capnia bifrons species group, with descriptions of three new species based on morphology, drumming signals and molecular genetics, and a synopsis of the West Palaearctic and Nearctic genera of Capniidae (Plecoptera), pp. 1-82 in Zootaxa 3812 (1)</i> on page 15, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3812.1.1, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/4919079">http://zenodo.org/record/4919079</a>

On the quasi-stationary distribution of a stochastic Ricker model
We model the evolution of a single-species population by a size-dependent branching process Zt in discrete time. Given that Zt = n the expected value of Zt+1 may be written nexp(r - [gamma]n) where r > 0 is a growth parameter and [gamma] > 0 is an (inhibitive) environmental parameter. For small values of [gamma] the short-term evolution of the normed process [gamma]Zt follows the deterministic Ricker model closely. As long as the parameter r remains in a region where the number of periodic points is finite and the only bifurcations are the period-doubling ones (r in the beginning of the bifurcation sequence), the quasi-stationary distribution of [gamma]Zt is shown to converge weakly to the uniform distribution on the unique attracting or weakly attracting periodic orbit. The long-term behavior of [gamma]Zt differs from that of the Ricker model, however: [gamma]Zt has a finite lifetime a.s. The methods used rely on the central limit theorem and Markov's inequality as well as dynamical systems theory.Size-dependent branching process Quasi-stationary distribution Invariant measure Weak convergence Ricker model Stable period Markov's inequality Entropy function
Velocity Profiles in Annular Passages
Title: Velocity Profiles of Annular Passages, Author: Thomas W. Ricker, Location: ThodeAn experimental study of turbulent velocity profiles of water flowing in a vertical annular passage is reported in this thesis. Presented are profiles for eccentricities ranging from 0% to 80% and Reynolds numbers from 40,000 to 104,000 in an annulus having a 0.286 radius ratio. Velocities were measured along five radii for all but the concentric configuration and the two arbitrarily chosen configurations are represented in the form of cross-sectional maps of the isovels. A method for deriving the powers N1 and N2 as defined by the equations u/um = [(r2-r)/(r2-rm)]^N2 and u/um = [(r-r1)/(rm-r1)]^N1 is suggested, and these powers were found for the two configurations investigated.ThesisMaster of Engineering (ME
