Plant nutrient‐acquisition strategies contribute to species replacement during primary succession
Pioneer species Hippophae acquires phosphorus and nitrogen mainly by ‘mining’ and N2‐fixing strategies and thus dominates in the beginning of primary succession. As soil nutrient availability increases with the mobilization of apatite‐P and input of N‐rich plant residues, Hippophae' strategies become less efficient than Populus's scavenging strategies.

A comparative study of monotone nonparametric kernel estimates [PDF]
In this paper we present a detailed numerical comparison of three monotone nonparametric kernel regression estimates, which isotonize a nonparametric curve estimator. The first estimate is the classical smoothed isotone estimate of Brunk (1958).

Convergence analysis of generalized iteratively reweighted least squares algorithms on convex function spaces [PDF]
The computation of robust regression estimates often relies on minimization of a convex functional on a convex set. In this paper we discuss a general technique for a large class of convex functionals to compute the minimizers iteratively which is ...

On the instability of solitary-wave solutions for fifth-order water wave models
This work presents new results about the instability of solitary-wave solutions to a generalized fifth-order Korteweg-deVries equation of the form $$ u_t+u_{xxxxx}+bu_{xxx}=(G(u,u_x,u_{xx}))_x, $$ where $ G(q,r,s)=F_q(q,r)-rF_{qr}(q,r)-sF_{rr}(q,r)$ for ...
