Unravelling vicious circles of land use competition and food insecurity in agropastoral rangelands
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract In many regions of the world, the adoption of new livelihood strategies that compete with traditional strategies is one driver of competition over land, resulting in unforeseen impacts on the livelihoods of land users and accelerating land degradation. One example is the Borana Zone in southern Ethiopia, where the expansion of crop cultivation

Validation of Large Zoned RAID Systems
, 2008 Building on our prior work we present an improved model for for large partial stripe following full stripe writes in RAID 5. This was necessary because we observed that our previous model tended to underestimate measured results.

Interfacing a high performance disk array file server to a Gigabit LAN [PDF]
Our previous prototype, RAID-1, identified several bottlenecks in typical file server architectures. The most important bottleneck was the lack of a high-bandwidth path between disk, memory, and the network.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Tropical forests are rapidly declining. One promising strategy to reverse the loss of tropical forest is the establishment of agroforestry on open land. We combined interviews with biodiversity surveys to learn general lessons from success and nonsuccess stories of the establishment of open‐land‐derived coffee agroforests in one of the world's ...
