Sensitivity of the grassland-forest ecotone in East African open woodland savannah to historical rainfall variation [PDF]

, 2014
. Fossil pollen records provide key insight into the sensitivity of terrestrial ecosystems to climate change at longer time scales. However, tracing vegetation response to relatively modest historical climate fluctuations is often complicated by the ...

Selection for persistence of endophyte‐free meadow fescue under intensive grazing versus frequent mowing

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Cattle grazing meadow fescue pasture in remnant oak savanna near Fennimore, Wisconsin. Abstract Background Meadow fescue (Schedonorus pratensis (Huds.) P. Beauv.) is highly adapted to managed rotational grazing systems with sufficient rest periods to promote regrowth and sward longevity.

Toward the valorization of olive (Olea europaea var. europaea L.) biodiversity: horticultural performance of seven Sicilian cultivars in a hedgerow planting system [PDF]

, 2019
An intense survey of the Sicilian's olive growing areas for autochthonous germplasm, mainly represented by centennials olive trees (Olea europaea var. europaea L.) apparently older then III centuries, started at the beginning of the 1980s and resulted in

The Effect of Voluntary Staying at Home on Japanese Female Suicide During the COVID‐19 Pandemic

Health Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In Japan, female suicide increased during the COVID‐19 pandemic. This study evaluated how pandemic‐related home confinement affected female suicide. We employed a shift‐share instrumental variable design to assess whether differential exposure to the pandemic caused changes in suicide incidence.

The Immunological Correlation With Adenoid Hypertrophy and Allergic Rhinitis in Children

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
The imbalance of Th1/Th2 and Th17/Treg cells in allergen and inflammatory responses might be associated with the development of adenoid hypertrophy, suggesting that allergic rhinitis maybe the risk factor of AH and providing a potential alternative explanation for adenoid hypertrophy pathogenesis.

Hamilton-Jacobi Counterterms for Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet Gravity [PDF]

, 2008
The on-shell gravitational action and the boundary stress tensor are essential ingredients in the study of black hole thermodynamics. We employ the Hamilton-Jacobi method to calculate the boundary counterterms necessary to remove the divergences and ...

Revisiting the Ancient Origins of Gender Inequality

Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study re‐examines the long‐term effect of traditional plough use on contemporary gender roles, as originally advanced by Alesina, Giuliano and Nunn [Quarterly Journal of Economics (2013) Vol. 128, pp. 469–530]. The findings demonstrate that the reduced‐form relationship between historical plough adoption and female empowerment is robust ...
