Navigating the Back Loop: Fostering Social Innovation and Transformation in Ecosystem Management
Ecology and Society, 2010 Addressing the environmental challenges of the 21st century requires substantial changes to the way modern society views and manages ecosystems. In particular, many authors contend that fundamental transformation of the largely sectoral, expert-centered ...

Can Properties of Labor-Exchange Networks Explain the Resilience of Swidden Agriculture?
Ecology and Society, 2010 Despite the fact that swidden agriculture has been the subject of decades of research, questions remain about the extent to which it is constrained by demographic growth and if it can adapt to environmental limits.

Vitamin A cycle byproducts impede dark adaptation [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2021 Impaired dark adaptation (DA), a defect in the ability to adjust to dimly lit settings, is a universal hallmark of aging. However, the mechanisms responsible for impaired DA are poorly understood. Vitamin A byproducts, such as vitamin A dimers, are small molecules that form in the retina during the vitamin A cycle.

Adaptive mutation operator cycling [PDF]
2009 Second International Conference on the Applications of Digital Information and Web Technologies, 2009 Parameter tuning can be a lengthy and exhaustive process. Furthermore, optimal parameter sets are usually not only problem specific, but also problem instance specific. Adaptive genetic algorithms perform parameter control during the run, thus increasing algorithm performance.

Adaptive performance optimization for large-scale traffic control systems [PDF]
, 2011 In this paper, we study the problem of optimizing (fine-tuning) the design parameters of large-scale traffic control systems that are composed of distinct and mutually interacting modules.
