On the missing link in ecology : Improving communication between modellers and experimentalists

Collaboration between modellers and experimentalists is essential in ecological research, however, different obstacles linking both camps often hinder scientific progress. In this commentary, we discuss several issues of the current state of affairs in this research loop. Backed by an online survey amongst fellow ecologists, modellers and experimentalists alike, we identify two major areas that ne

PreHospital Ambulance Stroke Test - pilot study of a novel stroke test

Background: There is a need for a prehospital stroke test that in addition to high sensitivity for stroke, also is able to communicate stroke severity similar to the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). Methods: The PreHospital Ambulance Stroke Test (PreHAST), an eight item test based on NIHSS, which scores stroke severity from 0-19 points, was designed and adapted for the ambulance

Biodiversity conservation requires an understanding of the extent to which a landscape can contribute to species life-cycle. Conceived as a dynamic mosaic of spatial units with different properties, landscape is a very relevant scale for dealing with biodiversity issues. This paper aims at analysing the relationships and overlapping between this geography and landscape ecology as two scientific fi

Protecting the Environment in Relation to Armed Conflict - The Role of Multilateral Environmental Agreements

This thesis examines how environmental treaties, also referred to as multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs), can enhance the protection of the environment during armed conflicts of both international and non-international character. The examination also covers the immediate aftermath of armed conflicts. Most of the previous research has focused on the application of the law of armed conflict

Multifractal analysis of some multiple ergodic averages

In this paper we study the multiple ergodic averages, on the symbolic space σm = (0,1,...,m-1}N* where m≥ 2, ℓ ≥ 2, q≥ 2 are integers. We give a complete solution to the problem of multifractal analysis of the limit of the above multiple ergodic averages. Actually we develop a non-invariant and non-linear version of thermodynamic formalism that is of its own interest. We study a large class of mea

Generating Situational Authority Through Genre of Governance : A Case Study of Chinese Public Sectors’ Crisis Management Strategies

This study investigates how public sector organizations generate authority in social media crisis. Furthermore, it examines how genres of governance, namely genre chain and genre mixing, contribute to the generation of authority. On this basis of an interdisciplinary theoretical framework consisting of the concepts of “network governance” and “authority,” a genre analysis of 100 top forwarded post

Biharmonic functions on the special unitary group SU(2)

We construct new proper biharmonic functions defined on open and dense subsets of the special unitary group SU(2). Then we employ a duality principle to obtain new proper biharmonic functions from the non-compact 3-dimensional hyperbolic space H^3.

Shocked chromites in fossil L chondrites : A Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy study

Chromites from Middle Ordovician fossil L chondrites and from matrix and shock-melt veins in Catherwood, Tenham, and Coorara L chondrites were studied using Raman spectroscopy and TEM. Raman spectra of chromites from fossil L chondrites showed similarities with chromites from matrix and shock-melt veins in the studied L chondrite falls and finds. Chromites from shock-melt veins of L chondrites sho

Testosterone suppression with a unique form of leuprorelin acetate as a solid biodegradable implant in patients with advanced prostate cancer : results from four trials and comparison with the traditional leuprorelin acetate microspheres formulation

Background: There are two slow-release ready-to-use forms of leuprorelin acetate (1-month and 3-month) that are available as solid, biodegradable implants for the treatment of advanced, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. These implants have been shown to be as effective as traditional leuprorelin acetate microspheres for achieving successful testosterone suppression (≥0.5 ng/ml) and lowering prost

Recreational cultural ecosystem services : How do people describe the value?

Different ways of viewing human-nature interactions affect the ways in which these are conceptualized and operationalized with regards to cultural ecosystem services (CES). To clarify if some conceptualizations provide more appropriate descriptions of benefits, these need to be discussed in relation to the lived experience. This paper addresses some aspects of the controversy around the use of the

How spatial scale shapes the generation and management of multiple ecosystem services

The spatial extent of ecological processes has consequences for the generation of ecosystem services related to them. However, management often fails to consider issues of scale when targeting ecological processes underpinning ecosystem services generation. Here, we present a framework for conceptualizing how the amount and spatial scale (here discussed in terms of extent) of management interventi
