Causes of seasonality in the chemistry of a lake on the Orinoco River floodplain, Venezuela’
Lake Tinco, which lies on the Orinoco floodplain, passes through four seasonal phases (filling, through-flow, drainage, and isolation), during which the lake volume changes 20-fold. During filling and through-flow, when the lake is inundated by river water, floating grasses (Paspalum repens) and phytoplankton grow rapidly, causing depletion of inorganic N and P between inflow and outflow, altho...
متن کاملAdaptive Radiation, Ecological Opportunity, and Evolutionary Determinism
Adaptive radiation refers to diversification from an ancestral species that produces descendants adapted to use a great variety of distinct ecological niches. In this review, I examine two aspects of adaptive radiation: first, that it results from ecological opportunity and, second, that it is deterministic in terms of its outcome and evolutionary trajectory. Ecological opportunity is usually a...
متن کاملOn Determinism
The notion of deterministic execution of concurrent systems has appeared in many guises throughout Edward A. Lee’s œuvre, but few really grasp how powerful, important, subtle, and flexible the concept really is. Determinism can be thought of as an abstraction boundary that delineates where control is passed from a system designer to the implementation. This paper surveys some of the many forms ...

قاعده مقتضی و مانع در متون فقهی کم و بیش مستند احکام قرار گرفته و مورد مناقشه فقهاء و اصولیین می باشد و مشهور معتقند مقتضی و مانع، قاعده نیست بلکه یکی از مسائل ذیل استصحاب است لذا نگارنده بر آن شد تا پیرامون این قاعده پژوهش جامعی انجام دهد. به عقیده ما مقتضی دارای حیثیت مستقلی است و هر گاه می گوییم مقتضی احراز شد یعنی با ماهیت مستقل خودش محرز گشته و قطعا اقتضاء خود را خواهد داشت مانند نکاح که ...
15 صفحه اولAssessments and Forecasts of the Ecological Health of the Upper Mississippi River System Floodplain Reaches
Status Gauges For a grading system to be of the greatest value to the river community, it must be brief, understandable, objective, and relevant. The system of gauges used in Table 16-1 visually describes the ecological health of the four floodplain reaches of the UMRS. The notations in Figure 16-1 are used to evaluate each river reach. In addition to pointing to current status, the gauges (Fig...
