Eigentimes and Very Slow Processes

open access: yesEntropy, 2017
We investigate the importance of the time and length scales at play in our descriptions of Nature. What can we observe at the atomic scale, at the laboratory (human) scale, and at the galactic scale? Which variables make sense? For every scale we wish to

Moving in the Dark: Enlightening the Spatial Population Ecology of European Cave Salamanders

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
We assessed individual interactions, movement ecology and activity patterns of a subterranean population of Speleomantes strinatii, applying spatial capture–recapture modeling to a photographic dataset of 104 individuals. ABSTRACT Space use and movement are fundamental aspects of organisms' ecology, mirroring individual fitness, behavior, and life ...

Tight closure, plus closure and Frobenius closure in cubical cones [PDF]

open access: yesTransactions of the American Mathematical Society, 1999
This is a detailed analysis of tight closure, plus closure, Frobenius closure, and irreducibility of ideals in the ring \(R = K[[X,Y,Z]]/(X^3 + Y^3 + Z^3)\), where \(K\) is a field of characteristic \(p\) and \(p \not = 3\). The author uses the \(\mathbb{Z}_3\)-grading on this ring, and proves more generally that the tight closure of a homogeneous ...

Infection Models for Pine Wilt Disease on the Basis of Vector Behaviors

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
Infection models for pine wilt disease without vector density were built to estimate the transmission coefficient of the pathogenic nematode. The models successfully simulated the annual change in the density of infected trees for four pine stands. ABSTRACT Pine wilt disease is caused by the pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Steiner et ...

The Development of Contour Processing: Evidence from Physiology and Psychophysics

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2014
Object perception and pattern vision depend fundamentally upon the extraction of contours from the visual environment. In adulthood, contour or edge-level processing is supported by the Gestalt heuristics of proximity, collinearity and closure.
