Orchids as Indicators of Ecosystem Health in Urban Bushland Fragments

, 2009
In this thesis I investigate the utility of orchids as indicators of ecosystem health. The study areas were urban bushland fragments on the Swan Coastal Plain, a global biodiversity hotspot.

Farming in the shadows of Rome: A multi‐proxy palaeoenvironmental record from Loch Clunie—Perthshire

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Roman impacts on local society is a subject of international significance. Loch Clunie, Perthshire, lies only 5.4 km from Inchtuthil, the only Roman legionary fortress in Scotland, and contains two crannogs and a probable lakeside hillfort. Despite this proximity and the likelihood of local–Roman interaction, these sites remain unexcavated ...

From Compliance to Competitive (Dis)Advantage? The Transformation of Corporate Sustainability Reporting

Strategic Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The tightening of EU sustainability reporting rules has raised a controversial debate between improving corporate transparency and the risk of stifling competitiveness, with ongoing EU‐wide discussions on potential deregulation. We contribute to this debate by examining changes in sustainability reporting practices over time.

[Clinical-morphologic evaluation of treatment results for rectal cancer using Dixon's method].

Wiadomosci lekarskie (Warsaw, Poland : 1960), 1998
69 patients with rectal cancer were operated in years 1987-1996. Anastomosis was performed using stapler in 35 patients or hand suture in 34 patients. The authors analysed influence of the anastomosis technique and additional treatment on early and long-term postoperative results.

Effect of HBr on Explosion Limits of Stoichiometric Hydrogen‐oxygen Mixture

International Journal of Chemical Kinetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This work, based on numerical simulations, discusses the effect of HBr as an inhibitor on the explosion limit of stoichiometric hydrogen‐oxygen gas mixture in a closed spherical vessel. The numerical simulation solves the complete governing equations for mass, momentum, species and energy.

Evaluation of Phantom Doping Materials in Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To measure magnetic susceptibility (χ) with Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) and evaluate its repeatability using four phantom doping materials relevant to QSM applications. Methods A cylindrical phantom was constructed containing vials of agarose gel doped with two paramagnetic materials (ferritin, USPIO) and two diamagnetic ...

Fully‐Constrained Variable Projection for Water‐Fat Models

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Variable projection (VARPRO) is an effective technique to reduce the dimensionality of least squares optimization problems through the elimination of linear parameters. For water‐fat models, constrained VARPRO variants have been proposed in the literature to ensure that water and fat components are aligned at TE = 0, thereby preventing

Multiecho Fat‐Water Spiral MR Elastography With Distributed Encoding for Simultaneously Imaging Brain and Skull Displacement

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To introduce a novel multiecho, multishot spiral MR elastography (MRE) sequence to image brain and skull displacement simultaneously using a joint fat‐water image reconstruction and distributed motion encoding. Methods Multiple echo times were implemented into a high‐resolution multishot spiral MRE sequence to capture water‐based brain
