This project takes an in-depth look at the environmental variables of freshwater lakes and how these variables affect the land value of lakeshore property. A GIS-based spatial and statistical analysis applied to lakeshore data from Crow Wing and Cass county Minnesota, provided the information necessary to establish general correlations applicable to Midwestern lakeshore property. The sample set...

Spatially organized distribution patterns of species and communities are shaped by both autogenic processes (neutral mechanism theory) and exogenous processes (niche theory). In the latter, environmental variables that are themselves spatially organized induce spatial structure in the response variables. The relative importance of these processes has not yet been investigated in urban habitats....

in this study, the ability of generalized additive model (gam) for mapping potential distribution of ferula ovina boiss, and the description of species response curves to environmental variables were examined in fereidonshar region with area of 1000 square kilometers located in west of isfahan province. the presence and absence data of the species were collected from 278 sites (including 138 pr...

Although the environment determines important individual differences in cognitive ability, most home environment variables that correlate with children's intelligence are more strongly associated with the pleiotropic effects of genes than with causal pathways of environmental transmission. Here, we demonstrate that community variables, a hitherto understudied set of constructs in research on co...

Understanding what drives the geographic variation of species richness across the globe is a fundamental goal of ecology and biogeography. Environmental variables have been considered as drivers of global diversity patterns but there is no consensus among ecologists on what environmental variables are primary drivers of the geographic variation of species richness. Here, I examine the relations...

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the foremost gas, emanated from human activities, and the best-known greenhouse gas, contributing to global warming, thus its negative effect on human health cannot be disregarded. The current paper investigates the relation between environmental quality variables, socio-economic factors, and human health from 1960 to 2014 in China, using Auto Regressive Distribution Lag...

the current study aims to ordinate ecological groups in the wetlands of northern and eastern slopes of the sabalan mountain and investigate their relationship with environmental variables. the location of wetlands was found using field surveys and satellite images. in total, 32 wetland sites were identified for the sampling purpose. 320 sample plots (relevé) were selected using the systematic-r...

abstract: this paper investigates the factors accelerating smes' adoption of e-commerce. initially we proposed a model that included three categories of factors including external environmental factors, internal environmental factors and technology specifications. in addition, we proposed ecommerce adoption stages in two levels of early adoption and institutionalization. based on surveying...

Perception and experience gained in the contemporary school could not help human beings' active learning. Totally, participation is the main element in active learning and thus, the active participation of students in the learning process is emphasized by education and learning in secondary schools. Given the importance of active learning, in this paper, the effective components in this type of...
