The development of insect diversity and ecosystem complexity on green roofs: A review
A classification system of different roof types is presented to improve consistency in green roof research. Landscape and green roof characteristics influence ecosystem development, but can be further explained by ecological concepts, like neutral and niche theory.

Representation effects in the centipede game. [PDF]
We explore the effects on strategic behavior of alternative representations of a centipede game that differ in terms of complexity. In a laboratory experiment, we manipulate the way in which payoffs are presented to subjects in two different ways.

Automatic segmentation of bone structures in CBCT images
Modern surgeries are performed using transplants or implants based on surgical planning with CT images. The CT or CBCT images having bad initial quality greatly decrease the performance of the processing algorithms and affect the quality of the ...

Spectral properties of orbital polarons in Mott insulators
We address the spectral properties of Mott insulators with orbital degrees of freedom, and investigate cases where the orbital symmetry leads to Ising-like superexchange in the orbital sector. The paradigm of a hole propagating by its coupling to quantum

The presumed oldest flying insect: more likely a myriapod? [PDF]
The early fossil record of insects is scarce, with only few finds in the Devonian. All these finds appear problematic and controversial, partly due to incomplete preservation and challenging interpretation of many structures. We provide details of one of
