    Notes: Abstract We investigated the factors affecting conception in a captive population ofPapio hamadryas. We collected data on reproductive states from 16 females over 12 years. Probability of conception was related to the outcome of the immediately preceding pregnancy and the fate of the preceding offspring. After abortions or when an infant survived more than 6 months, a female needed more cycles to conceive than when an infant died within the first 6 months post partum. The degree of estrus synchrony within, but not between, one-male units influenced the probability of conception. Females experiencing conceptive estrus showed less synchrony than those experiencing nonconceptive estrus. The number of females simultaneously in estrus within a one-male unit was negatively correlated with the probability of conception. Within our captive population, group size and male and female age had no influence on the probability of conception. The results indicate that sperm may be a limited resource in the one-male reproductive units of hamadryas baboons. Female-female competition for conception may exist and should influence the demography of one-male units.

    Notes: A huge amount of data is collected by computer monitoring systems in the chemical process industry. Such tools as principal component analysis and partial least squares have been shown to be very effective in compressing this large volume of noisy correlated data into a subspace of much lower dimension than the original data set. Because most of what is eliminated is the collinearity of the original variables and the noise, the bulk of the information contained in the original data set is retained. The resulting low dimensional representation of the data set has been shown to be of great utility for process analysis and monitoring, as well as in selecting variables for control. These types of models can also be used directly in control system design. One way of approaching this is to use the loading matrices as compensators on the plant. Some advantages of using this approach as part of the overall control system design include automatic decoupling and efficient loop pairing, as well as natural handling of nonsquare systems and poorly conditioned systems.

    Notes: During the past decade, advances in both hardware and software have made NMR spectroscopy an enormously powerful analytical technique. In this paper, the author presents examples of the use of NMR in support of vinyl stabilizer research; he also covers representative practical applications of proton, carbon, phosphorus, and tin NMR.
