Integrating ecological feedbacks across scales and levels of organization
In ecosystems, species interact in various ways with other species, and with their local environment. In addition, ecosystems are coupled in space by diverse types of flows. From these links connecting different ecological entities can emerge circular pathways of indirect effects: feedback loops.

Hydraulics and Structural Mechanics Jointly Shape Root‐to‐Leaf Scaling of Xylem Conduit Traits
ABSTRACT Xylem conduit morphology is shaped by the challenges of minimizing hydraulic resistance and preventing conduit wall collapse during vertical sap transport. While hydraulic theories predict that conduits widen from tip to base to minimize resistance, theory has not addressed how collapse prevention influences vertical variation in conduit ...

ABSTRACT Job performance is among the most commonly studied outcomes in the field of organizational behavior. While this volume of research has produced valuable insights into the antecedents of job performance, in this article, we explore whether a barrier to more sophisticated insights is a “positivity bias” in this literature: a systematic tendency ...

Synchronized Oscillations During Cooperative Feature Lining in a Cortical Model of Visual Perception [PDF]
A neural network model of synchronized oscillations in visual cortex is presented to account for recent neurophysiological findings that such synchronization may reflect global properties of the stimulus.

INFORMATION, ENERGY, AND EVOLUTION [PDF]
Within the current theory of evolution, the development in the direction of higher complexity is taken to be a necessary condition. This gives birth to a problem why this direction is prevalent for evolution.

Background – Canine atopic dermatitis (cAD) is a chronic, inflammatory, multifactorial and pruritic disease. The presence of skin barrier impairment (e.g. filaggrin alterations), along with abnormal immune responses, can negatively impact cutaneous barrier function.

ABSTRACT This article argues that there is no single form of security that reduces insecurity but rather forms of (in)security that are contradictory and mutually destructive. This is the case between traditional liberal security, based on evidence, the individual and the penal order, and contemporary predictive preventive security, based on ...

Abstract The BookSampo Linked Data portal was deployed in 2011 by the Finnish Public Libraries and has today nearly 2 million annual users. Its Linked Data covers virtually all Finnish fiction literature but the data has not been used for data analyses in Digital Humanities. This paper discusses how the Knowledge Graph can be used for literary research
