Global-Scale Patterns of Forest Fragmentation

open access: yesEcology and Society, 2000
We report an analysis of forest fragmentation based on 1-km resolution land-cover maps for the globe. Measurements in analysis windows from 81 km 2 (9 x 9 pixels, "small" scale) to 59,049 km 2 (243 x 243 pixels, "large" scale) were used to characterize ...

Effects of stand edges on the structure, functioning, and diversity of a temperate mountain forest landscape

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
Human land use is fragmenting forests around the globe, increasing the edge density in forest landscapes. More frequent natural disturbances also increase the presence of edges in forest ecosystems.

Grouping puts figure-ground assignment in context by constraining propagation of edge assignment. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Figure-ground organization involves the assignment of edges to a figural shape on one or the other side of each dividing edge. Established visual cues for edge assignment primarily concern relatively local rather than contextual factors.

Finding partners in a habitat mosaic: Patch history and size mediate host colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

open access: yesEcosphere, 2016
Restoration of glades over the past 30 years, involving removal of woody cover and re‐establishment of herbaceous plant communities, has created an archipelago of habitat patches varying in age, size, and isolation. Within these glades, habitat varies in

Effect of Surface Nonlinearity Distribution on Second Harmonic Generation under Tightly Focused Beams

open access: yesPhotonics, 2023
A thorough integral formulation describing the second harmonic generation under tightly focused linearly and radially polarized beams for an arbitrary distribution of the nonlinear susceptibility over the surface of isotropic media was presented.

Investigation of the edge effect in composites using the ANSYS software in a two-dimensional formulation

open access: yesВестник Самарского университета: Аэрокосмическая техника, технологии и машиностроение, 2023
The possibility of using the universal software ANSYS to study the concentration of interlaminar stresses near the free edges of laminated composites in a two-dimensional finite element formulation is considered.

Edge-region grouping in figure-ground organization and depth perception. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Edge-region grouping (ERG) is proposed as a unifying and previously unrecognized class of relational information that influences figure-ground organization and perceived depth across an edge. ERG occurs when the edge between two regions is differentially

The Occurence of Ecological Traps in Bird Populations: Is our Knowledge Sufficient? A Review

open access: yesJournal of Landscape Ecology, 2012
Anthropogenic changes in a landscape create new cues for birds, which must permanently adapt to these. If landscape changes occur too quickly, individuals have insufficient time to develop adequate reactions.

The Effect of Adding Randomly Weighted Edges [PDF]

open access: yesSIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics, 2021
We consider the following question. We have a dense regular graph $G$ with degree $αn$, where $α>0$ is a constant. We add $m=o(n^2)$ random edges. The edges of the augmented graph $G(m)$ are given independent edge weights $X(e)$, $e\in E(G(m))$. We estimate the minimum weight of some specified combinatorial structures. We show that in certain cases,
