INTEGRATING LANDSCAPE SYSTEM AND META-ECOSYSTEM FRAMEWORKS TO ADVANCE THE UNDERSTANDING OF ECOSYSTEM FUNCTION IN HETEROGENEOUS LANDSCAPES: AN ANALYSIS ON THE CARBON FLUXES IN THE NORTHERN HIGHLANDS LAKE DISTRICT (NHLD) OF WISCONSIN AND MICHIGAN.

Integrating landscape system and meta-ecosystem frameworks to advance the understanding of ecosystem function in heterogeneous landscapes: An analysis on the carbon fluxes in the Northern Highlands Lake District (NHLD) of Wisconsin and Michigan.

The successful integration of ecosystem ecology with landscape ecology would be conducive to understanding how landscapes function.There have been several attempts at this, with two main approaches: (1) an ecosystem-based approach, such as the meta-ecosystem framework and (2) a landscape-based approach, such as the landscape system framework.These

Cathepsin W, T-cell receptor-associated transmembrane adapter 1, lymphotactin and killer cell lectin like receptor K1 are sensitive and specific RNA biomarkers of canine epitheliotropic lymphoma

Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is an uncommon type of lymphoma involving malignant skin-resident or skin-homing T cells.Canine epitheliotropic lymphoma (EL) is the most common form of CTCL in dogs, and it also spontaneously arises from T lymphocytes in the mucosa and skin.Clinically, it can be difficult to distinguish early-stage CTCLs apart from

Assertion, Implicature, and Iterated Knowledge

The present paper argues that there is a knowledge norm for conversational implicature: one may conversationally implicate p only Sensory Toy if one knows p.Linguistic data about the cancellation behavior of implicatures and the ways they are challenged and criticized by speakers is presented to support the thesis.The knowledge norm for implicature

A Resilience Enhancement Model for Complex Distribution Network Coupling with Human Resources and Traffic Network

Resilience is the ability of a system to withstand and recover from deliberate accidents; as to distribution systems, it means the ability to withstand and recover from natural disasters or other serious accidents and ensure electricity supply.Generally, promotion strategies of distribution network resilience mostly focus on electrical topology pla
