Multiple organ dysfunction after trauma. [PDF]
Br J Surg, 2020 As trauma practice advances, postinjury multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) is changing. The aim of this study was to characterize contemporary MODS in trauma critical care. Three patterns of MODS were identified, all present on admission, with distinct clinical associations. SOFA, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment. Present from admission with

A spatially explicit empirical model of structural development processes in natural forests based on climate and topography. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2020 Abstract Stand structure develops with stand age. Old‐growth forests with well‐developed stand structure support many species. However, development rates of stand structure likely vary with climate and topography. We modeled structural development of 4 key stand variables and a composite old‐growth index as functions of climatic and topographic ...

Advancing the operationalization of national policy styles
European Policy Analysis, Volume 9, Issue 3, Page 200-218, Summer 2023., 2023 Abstract While national policy styles have (re)gained academic attention in recent comparative public policy work, the concept still needs a widely accepted operationalization that can allow the collection and analysis of data across contexts while steering away from construct validity threats.

Biotropica, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 893-905, July 2022., 2022 Forest canopies are highly complex habitats, home to a wide range of organism groups. We observed that spatial scaling of alpha and beta diversity patterns differs between crown and trunk epiphytic bryophyte communities. The evidence we provide contributes to further understanding how processes such as species interactions and environmental filtering ...

Building a global taxonomy of wildlife offenses
Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 6, Page 1903-1912, December 2021., 2021 Abstract Most countries have many pieces of legislation that govern biodiversity, including a range of criminal, administrative, and civil law provisions that state how wildlife must be legally used, managed, and protected. However, related debates in conservation, such as about enforcement, often overlook the details within national legislation that ...

Growth and inequality in the Mexican states: Regimes, thresholds, and traps
Papers in Regional Science, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 1295-1322, October 2021., 2021 Abstract Using the inter‐regional economic inequality index and the gross state product per capita for the Mexican states over the period 1940–2015, we apply regime dynamics and hierarchical cluster analysis for segmenting the sample into regimes of Mexican states with similar performance.

The evolution of Zipf's Law for U.S. cities
Papers in Regional Science, Volume 99, Issue 3, Page 841-852, June 2020., 2020 Abstract Exploiting the hierarchical structure of cities and based on a dataset for U.S. cities between 1840 and 2016, the aim of this paper is to analyze the evolution of the U.S. city size distribution. For that purpose we estimate a general three‐parameter Zipf model, which can be traced back to Mandelbrot (1982), and validate our results by means ...

Papers in Regional Science, Volume 99, Issue 1, Page 135-164, February 2020., 2020 Abstract We investigate whether economic functional regions capture spatial clustering of core economic indicators better than administrative regions. For this purpose, we use hierarchical linear models to measure the degree of homogenization of different regional delineations.
