Abstract Land use change has detrimental impacts on the planet. It is not only a major cause of biodiversity loss, through habitat destruction and fragmentation, but also an important driver for climate change, deforestation peat oxidation. mainly driven by food production, which meat production comprises share. Ecomodernists therefore feel reduction impact paramount sustainable future. To achi...

proceeds, some species may be driven to extinction only Loss of habitat due to human activities is a major threat to reestablish in the community following more extensive to biological diversity (Ehrlich and Ehrlich 1981; Wilson habitat destruction that drives more competitive species 1988). Recent models of competition among sessile orto extinction. Thus, the models of Tilman et al. (1994, gan...

On several occasions, winter freezes have wrought severe destruction on Florida agriculture. A series of devastating freezes around the turn of the twentieth century, and again during the 1980s, were related to anomalies in the large-scale flow of the ocean–atmosphere system. During the twentieth century, substantial areas of wetlands in south Florida were drained and converted to agricultural ...

New Zealand has a legal 3D cadastre, and has done since the inception of its cadastral survey and tenure systems around 150 years ago. However, the digital representation of the cadastre is 2D with 3D situations handled via static plan, section and elevation images and supporting textual information. Work is currently underway to develop a 3D digital cadastre that will enable the 3D spatial ext...

—The detection of materials or devices for nuclear or radiological weapons of mass destruction is fundamentally important to national safety and security, and detection technologies are necessary both to nd and to verify the location of those materials or devices. To ful ll this task, this paper presents a statistical approach to the detection and location of radioactive target via wireless sen...

One of the principal concerns in graduate admissions is how future performance in graduate studies may be predicted from a candidate’s undergraduate achievements. In this study, we examined the statistical relationship between B.Sc. and M.Sc. achievements using a dataset that is not subject to an admission-induced selection bias. Our analysis yielded three insights. First, we were able to expla...
