There has been some debate over genetic- differences between so-called "upland" and "low- land" black spruce populations. The former are characteristically located on clay soils and regener- ate after fire, and are therefore typically even-aged. In contrast, lowland populations are found on ...
Studies in ovarian cancer cells have shown that EMT leads to alterations in the biophysical properties of drug-resistant cells [5], [6]. However, the functional implications of these changes vis-à-vis invasion remain to be understood. Further, given the distinct molecular mechanisms of action ...
For a fire front linearly moving with almost the same speed on the whole perimeter length, w must be equal to the width of the computational domain. However, for both experiments, the limited length of a fire front propagating on a sloped terrain had a significant effect on a fire front ...
Figure 7. Box plots of the sensitivity results obtained along radially distributed retinal loci with a 1°, 2°, 4°, and 6° radius from the fovea. Note that the box width indicates the interquartile range. The whiskers denote the fifth and 95th percentiles; the outliers are marked as fi...
Drosophila suzukii is an invasive fruit fly that have became a key pest of soft-skinned fruits during the past decade. Today, the control of this pest relies strongly on broad-spectrum insecticides. Deploying attractive traps to control the pest population (mass trapping) could be part of the ...
Figure 5. The scatter plots of field TH with UAV TH: (a) Field TH with LM lowpass filtering at UAV 80 m; (b) Field TH with SM filtering at UAV 80 m; (c) Field TH with SG filtering at UAV 80 m; (d) Field TH with LML filtering at UAV 120 m; (e) Field TH with SG filt...
(iv) Inner tidal channel: stands for the principal water exchange route between the main tidal channel and the coastal lagoons, where extensive fringe mangrove forests thrive at the interface between water and land. Due to their geomorphic characteristics, the strong tidal currents from the Pacific...
three steel balls of different diameters (30–40–50 mm), and they were carried out from five different drop heights (0.60–0.75–0.90–1.05–1.20 m). The impact of the steel ball drew the size of the footprint on the surface and this mark was measured with a digital caliper for both...
Several studies have focused on the effect of trail gradient, length, and shape on runoff generation and soil loss [32,33,34,35]. Şensoy and Kara [35] found that runoff and soil loss were greater in uniform plots (ground without slope failure) than in concave and convex plots on a ...
However, few studies have been conducted to quantify the relative contributions of forest recovery to water yield in boreal forest region across the globe. In this study, the impacts of forest recovery on the changes in mean annual water yield were assessed in two large forested watersheds in ...
