Intra-limb coordinative adaptations in cycling [PDF]
Sports Biomechanics, 2012 This study aimed to establish the nature of lower extremity intra-limb coordination variability in cycling and to investigate the coordinative adaptations that occur in response to changes in cadence and work rate. Six trained and six untrained males performed nine pedalling bouts on a cycle ergometer at various cadences and work rates (60, 90, and 120

From Resilience to Transformation: the Adaptive Cycle in Two Mexican Urban Centers
Ecology and Society, 2011 Climate change is but one expression of the internal contradictions of capitalism that include also economic inequality and political alienation. Seen in this way analysis of human responses to climate change must engage with social relations of power ...

Ecology and Society, 2012 Traditional policies for water resources management and wetland conservation are often based on command-and-control approaches. The latter tend to drive the human-wetland-water system into pathological states, characterized by more vulnerable ecosystems ...

Comparative Resilience in Five North Pacific Regional Salmon Fisheries
Ecology and Society, 2010 Over the past century, regional fisheries for Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) have been managed primarily for their provisioning function, not for ecological support and cultural significance. We examine the resilience of the regional salmon fisheries

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.

Resilience, Panarchy, and World-Systems Analysis
Ecology and Society, 2007 The paper compares two ambitious conceptual structures. The first is the understanding of social-ecological systems developed around the term "resilience," and more recently the term "panarchy," in the work of Holling, Gunderson, and others.

An Indicator Framework for Assessing Agroecosystem Resilience
Ecology and Society, 2012 Taking departure in the theory of resilience in social-ecological systems, we present an analysis and discussion of how resilience theory can be applied to agroecosystems.
