Neural Wikipedian: Generating Textual Summaries from Knowledge Base Triples

, 2017
Most people do not interact with Semantic Web data directly. Unless they have the expertise to understand the underlying technology, they need textual or visual interfaces to help them make sense of it.

A High‐Performance Coupled Human And Natural Systems (CHANS) Model for Flood Risk Assessment and Reduction

Water Resources Research
In recent years, flood risk in urban areas has been rapidly increasing due to unsustainable urban development, changes of hydrological processes and frequent occurrence of extreme weather events.

Layering for governance: Ecosystem service supply–demand trade-offs and social-ecological system network topologies from a cluster perspective

Ecological Indicators
A key challenge in ensuring the coordinated development of ecological conservation and economic growth is to gain a solid understanding of the interactions between supply–demand of ecosystem services (ES). However, empirical research on spatial imbalance

Ecosystems as climate controllers – biotic feedbacks (a review) [PDF]

, 2008
There is good evidence that higher global temperature will promote a rise of green house gas levels, implying a positive feedback which will increase the effect of the anthropogenic emissions on global temperatures.

Revisiting the Gaia hypothesis: Maximum Entropy, Kauffman's 'Fourth Law' and physiosemeiosis [PDF]

Recently, Kleidon suggested a restatement of the Gaia hypothesis based on Maximum Entropy approaches to the Earth system. Refuting conceptions of Gaia as a homeostatic system, Gaia is seen as a non-equilibrium thermodynamic system which continuously ...

Facing global changes with resource over-appropriation and under-provision of public services: Exploring robustness-fragility trade-offs in three coastal areas [PDF]

, 2017
Coastal systems are special cases of coupled infrastructure systems (CIS). Here, system fragilities that exist elsewhere are magnified due to the unique features of the coastal natural infrastructure which exhibits a concentration of resource scarcity ...

Coupled Human and Natural Systems: A Novel Framework for Complexity Management

Sustainability
Coupled human and natural systems (CHANS) represent dialectic interaction between human and nature subsystems. This dynamic interaction involves a prominent level of complexity stemming from the uncertain interrelation between the systems and the incorporated subsystems.

Dynamics of coupled human and natural systems in epidemiology and ecology

, 2017
Many natural systems exist in a state of two-way coupling with human systems, where changes in the human system create changes in the natural system, which in turn create changes in the human system once again. The study of dynamics of such coupled human-and-natural systems is a growing area of research. For instance, in the case of influenza antiviral
