Ecological Perspectives on Allopathic and Naturopathic Medicine
Human control over nature is characteristic of all Western Thought, including allopathic medicine. Since Descartes, matter has been considered separate from the spirit and the physical body, as part of matter, must be controlled for its own good. A physician is taught a "stewardship" view of the body that parallels society’s "stewardship" view of nature. It is well-intentioned, yet based on an ...
متن کاملEcological Perspectives on Industrial Decline And Resurgence
Over the last twenty-five years, research in organizational ecology has given rise to a proliferation of mechanisms that seek to explain processes of decline and resurgence in mature industries. In this paper, I consider four of these mechanisms – including arguments concerning competitive intensity, temporal heterogeneity, population inertia, and community ecology – and apply them to explain t...
متن کاملEcological effects of variable-retention harvests in the north- western United States: the DEMO study*
The retention of trees in harvest units is an integral part of forest management practices on federal lands in the northwestern United States (U.S.), yet the ecological benefits that result from various levels or patterns of retained trees remain speculative. Large-scale and long-term silvicultural experiments are needed to evaluate the effects of alternative forest management strategies on bio...
متن کاملCan retention forestry help conserve biodiversity? A meta-analysis
Industrial forestry typically leads to a simplified forest structure and altered species composition. Retention of trees at harvest was introduced about 25 years ago to mitigate negative impacts on biodiversity, mainly from clearcutting, and is now widely practiced in boreal and temperate regions. Despite numerous studies on response of flora and fauna to retention, no comprehensive review has ...
متن کاملPerspectives on Self - Scaling Variable Metric Algorithms
Recent attempts to assess the performance of SSVM algorithms for unconstrained minimization problems differ in their evaluations from earlier assessments. Nevertheless, the new experiments confirm earlier observations that, on certain types of problems, the SSVM algorithms are far superior to other variable metric methods. This paper presents a critical review of these recent assessments and di...
