BACKGROUND The divergent glacial histories of southern and northern Europe affect present-day species diversity at coarse-grained scales in these two regions, but do these effects also penetrate to the more fine-grained scales of local communities? METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We carried out a cross-scale analysis to address this question for vascular plants in two mountain regions, the Alp...

This report describes the transformation of feature films into hypervideo by representing their story structures using plot unties. Plot units represent cause-effect relationships between characters’ affect states and the events in a story. We use plot units to structure hypervideo links between intervals of video data. We have manually analysed two full-length feature films in terms of plot un...

estimates of quantities, such as per acre volume, within conditions of interest. If the plot is half natural pine and half plantation pine, it is clear that the combined plot data are not representative of either condition. The most important mapped plot assumption made explicit in Equation 1 is that the expected amount of y on a partial plot is proportional to a. In particular, if half the plo...

Textile plot is a parallel coordinate plot on which the whole location and scales of the axes are simultaneously chosen so that all connecting lines, each of which signifies an observation, are aligned as horizontally as possible. Textile plot can visualise not only numerical data but also ordered or unordered categorical data or the mix of those. Textile plot makes easier for user to understan...

The separation features of a new type of PLOT U column are presented through many applications. This type of PLOT U column is coated with a divinylbenzene-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate copolymer. It has an increased polarity when compared with a conventional PLOT Q type column. The stationary phase of the PLOT U column is truly bonded, thus providing column rinsability and low column bleed.
