SSRN Electronic Journal, 2009 Many environmental problems are large scale in terms of geographical units and long-term with regard to time. We therefore find a coincidence of different causes and impacts that qualify the interplay between humans and nature as highly uncertain ("transparency challenge").

Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science, 2004 Some basic programming constructs (e.g., conditional statements) are found in many different programming languages, and can often be included without change when a new language is designed. When writing a semantic description of a language, however, it is usually not possible to reuse parts of previous descriptions without change.<br /> <br ...

Pharmaceuticals in the environment [PDF]
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2016 Pharmaceuticals gather more than 1000 biologically active molecules used in human and veterinary medicine around the world. The increase in drugs’ consumption and the development of improved analytical environmental techniques have resulted in identifying these emerging pollutants in all aquatic compartments, ranging from surface water and groundwater ...

Environing technologies: a theory of making environment [PDF]
History and Technology, 2018 The central proposal of this article is that environing technologies shape and structure the way in which nature becomes environment, and as such used, perceived and understood.

Population and species neighbor identity impact trait–trait relationships and plant performance
Population Ecology, EarlyView.We evaluated how populations and species identity influence plant performance and trait outcomes in mixtures, and assessed trait variation among populations of two forb species native to the western United States (Dieteria canescens and Heterotheca villosa) following three interaction treatments (single‐population monoculture, two‐population mixture ...

Transportation and the Environment [PDF]
Annual Review of Environment and Resources, 2011 The growth of CO2-intensive transport, mobility and the impact of transport on the environment are reviewed. The recent global exponential growth in transport is unsustainable and must end unless the transport sector can decarbonize. The paper examines solutions for low-carbon transport systems; the behavioral options; possible demand reduction; the ...

Effects of chronic browsing on life‐history traits of an irruptive large herbivore population
Population Ecology, EarlyView.This study aimed to determine the relationship between diet quality, body mass, and size (hind foot length), and female reproduction and sought to identify the mechanism by which high density under severe food limitations is maintained. Our results demonstrated that sika deer introduced to Nakanoshima Island have maintained high densities through high ...

Dendritic cells steering antigen and leukocyte traffic in lymph nodes
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Dendritic cells are key players in the activation of T cells and their commitment to effector function. In this In a Nutshell Review, we will discuss how dendritic cells guide the trafficking of antigen and leukocytes in the lymph node, thus influencing T‐cell activation processes. Dendritic cells (DCs) play a central role in initiating and shaping the

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In vivo IL‐10 produced by tissue‐resident tolDC is involved in maintaining/inducing tolerance. Depending on the agent used for ex vivo tolDC generation, cells acquire common features but prime T cells towards anergy, FOXP3+ Tregs, or Tr1 cells according to the levels of IL‐10 produced. Ex vivo‐induced tolDC were administered to patients to re‐establish/
