Using 103,133 news items collected from Daum News, the second most popular news portal in South Korea, we provide multidimensional analyses of gender and age differences in news consumption. We quantify such differences in four different dimensions: 1) by actual news items; 2) by topic 3) by issue; and 4) by angle. We found that angle preferences can better explain the difference of news consum...

The challenge of designing “Simple Computing in an Age of Complexity” emphasizes the simple within the complex, focusing on the contradiction between the urge for ‘ease of use’ and the need for system complexity. Design must bridge this gap and make the complex appear simple – less is more. So far, many will agree. But, what exactly is the meaning of ‘less’ and ‘more’ in ‘less is more’, a less ...

The bioavailability of total organic carbon (TOC) was examined in ground water from two hydrologically distinct aquifers using biochemical indicators widely employed in chemical oceanography. Concentrations of total hydrolyzable neutral sugars (THNS), total hydrolyzable amino acids (THAA), and carbon-normalized percentages of TOC present as THNS and THAA (referred to as "yields") were assessed ...

Our recent paper advocating adaptive management of invasive nonnative species (INS) in Kings Bay, Florida received detailed responses from both Daniel Simberloff, a prominent invasion biologist, and Mark Sagoff, a prominent critic of invasion biology. Simberloff offers several significant lines of criticism that compel detailed rebuttals, and, as such, most of this reply is dedicated to this pu...

Share feedback about the accessibility of this item.

Successive waves of invasion brought distinctive legends, rites, and beliefs. The ancient Celts displaced earlier indigenous peoples, only to find themselves displaced in turn by the Romans, who ...

6 [1] We combined observations from four eddy covariance towers with remote sensing to 7 better understand the altitudinal patterns of climate, plant phenology, Gross Ecosystem 8 CO2 Uptake, and Evapotranspiration (ET) around the upper Kings River basin in the 9 southern Sierra Nevada Mountains. Precipitation (P) increased with elevation to 500 m, 10 and more gradually at higher elevations, whi...
