(PLos One, 2013-09-25)The atmospheric boundary layer and lower free atmosphere, or aerosphere, is increasingly important for human transportation, communication, environmental monitoring, and energy production. The impacts of anthropogenic ... -
Ecological opportunity and the adaptive diversification of lineages
(2014-12-17)The tenet that ecological opportunity drives adaptive diversification has been central to theories of speciation since Darwin, yet no widely accepted definition or mechanistic framework for the concept currently exists. ... -
Economic foundations of morality: Questions of transparency and ethics in Russian journalism
(University of Wroclaw Press, 2015-08)This study examines the questions of ethics and transparency in Russian journalism. The paper explains instances of non-transparent behavior among Russian journalists in light of economic hardship that Russian journalists ... -
Economic Interest Group Allocations in Open-Seat Senate Elections
(American Politics Research, 1997-07-01)Most studies of political action committees (PACs) focus on the incumbent-oriented contribution strategies of PACs, whereas contributions to open-seat candidates remain relatively unexplored. Based on the assumption that ... -
Ecosystem Carbon Stock Influenced by Plantation Practice: Implications for Planting Forests as a Measure of Climate Change Mitigation
(PLos One, 2010-05-27)Uncertainties remain in the potential of forest plantations to sequestrate carbon (C). We synthesized 86 experimental studies with paired-site design, using a meta-analysis approach, to quantify the differences in ecosystem ... -
