After centuries of range contraction, many megafauna species are recolonizing parts of Europe. One example is the red deer (Cervus elaphus), which was able to expand its range and is now found in half the areas it inhabited in the beginning of the 19th century. Herbivores are important ecosystem engineers, influencing e.g. vegetation. Knowledge on their habitat selection and their influence on ...

Plant species diversity is threatened in many agricultural landscapes due to the changes it has to undergo. Although the modifi cation of the agricultural landscape pattern is observed across Europe, both extensive and intensive agricultural landscapes still co-exist in Poland. The objective of the study was to examine the fl ora in fi eld margins in intensively and extensively managed agricult...

Switzerland’s National Open Access Strategy aims to have all tax-payer funded research publications available in open access by 2024. This article introduces the institutional landscape which this transformation is taking place, focuses on two examples of current concerns that these changes bring and closes with a brief look at what lies beyond approaching milestone.

The generalized structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is based on the rules topological spaces. DNA recombination one most important processes within DNA, as it essential in pharmaceutical industry well gene therapy. In this paper, we are discussing relationship between rough sets, nano spaces (N), Z open (N) and recombination. We also created a new mapping using properties process. Further,...

A quantum control landscape is defined as the expectation value of a target observable Θ as a function of the control variables. In this work control landscapes for open quantum systems governed by Kraus map evolution are analyzed. Kraus maps are used as the controls transforming an initial density matrix ρi into a final density matrix to maximize the expectation value of the observable Θ. The ...

In tropical landscapes, vegetation patches with contrasting tree densities are distributed as mosaics. However, the locations of patches and densities of trees within them cannot be predicted by climate models alone. It has been proposed that plant-fire feedbacks drive functional thresholds at a landscape scale, thereby maintaining open (savanna) and closed (forest) communities as two distinct ...

We engage and extend the concept of therapeutic landscapes through a case study at an urban American Indian health organization in the Midwestern United States. This case affords insights at the unique confluence of indigeneity and urbanization, prompting us to coin the construct "urban-indigenous therapeutic landscapes" to characterize such sites. These landscapes warrant urgent attention in l...
