In urban ecosystems, woody vegetation communities and the ecosystem functions and habitat they provide are largely controlled by humans.These communities are assembled during development, landscaping, and maintenance processes according to decisions made by human actors.While vegetation communities on residential land uses are increasingly well stu
A methodology has been developed to quantitatively assess the suitability of use and fitness for service of candidate materials using a novel approach that includes multiple perspectives.As a case study, a carbon steel pipe has been selected for operation in the petrochemical sector.The materials studied were the following: American Petroleum Insti
Abstract Background Epithelial Ovarian Cancer (EOC) is the second most common gynaecological cancer and accounts for more deaths than all gynaecological cancers combined.Despite extensive research, progress has been slow in understanding the pathobiology.EOC is identified as a heterogeneous malignancy with various histological subtypes.It is now we
We construct a class of solvable models for 2+1D quantum critical points by attaching 1+1D conformal field theories (CFTs) to fluctuating domain walls forming a "loop soup".Specifically, our local Hamiltonian attaches gapless spin chains to the domain walls of a triangular lattice Ising antiferromagnet.The macroscopic degeneracy between antiferroma
