Ecological Footprint Inequality : a methodological review and some results [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Scarcities of environmental services are no longer merely a remote hypothesis. Consequently, analysis of their inequalities between nations becomes of paramount importance for the achievement of sustainability in terms either of international policy, or ...

Effects of recreational use and fragmentation on the understorey vegetation and soil microbial communities of urban forests in southern Finland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The impacts of fragmentation and recreational use on the hemiboreal urban forest understorey vegetation and the microbial community of the humus layer (the phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) pattern, microbial biomass and microbial activity, measured as ...

Asymptotic Expansions for Stationary Distributions of Perturbed Semi-Markov Processes

open access: yes, 2016
New algorithms for computing of asymptotic expansions for stationary distributions of nonlinearly perturbed semi-Markov processes are presented. The algorithms are based on special techniques of sequential phase space reduction, which can be applied to ...

Quasi-Stationary Asymptotics for Perturbed Semi-Markov Processes in Discrete Time [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We consider a discrete time semi-Markov process where the characteristics defining the process depend on a small perturbation parameter. It is assumed that the state space consists of one finite communicating class of states and, in addition, one ...

Trends in recovery of mediterranean soil chemical properties and microbial activities after infrequent and frequent wildfires [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Since the 1970s, increase in fire frequency has been observed in all European Mediterranean regions. The objectives of this study were (1) to determine the effects of wildfire frequency on the recovery at short- and long-term of soil chemical and ...

The Arithmetic of Distributions in Free Probability Theory

open access: yes, 2010
We give an analytical approach to the definition of additive and multiplicative free convolutions which is based on the theory of Nevanlinna and of Schur functions.

Adaptive Hydrogels With Spatiotemporal Stiffening Using pH‐Modulating Enzymes

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The chemomechanical coupling in an adaptive hydrogel is studied to further the development of adaptive hydrogels. This coupling is achieved by embedding a pH‐modulating enzyme in a pH‐responsive hydrogel. The enzymatic reaction can be triggered locally, which generates a pH‐decreasing wave throughout the system, increasing the crosslinking density and ...
