(Springer Netherlands, 2024-04)Since the type of forest influences vegetation patterns from the edge-to-interior forest, site-specific edge studies are needed but there have been few studies in open-canopied forests such as oak savannahs. Our objective ...
-
(Springer, 2023-11-07)Although forest edges surrounding lakes and wetlands are common in many heterogeneous landscapes, there are few studies on patterns of vegetation across these natural landscape boundaries. We investigated forest structure, ...

Limited influence from edges and topography on vegetation structure and diversity in Atlantic Forest (Springer Netherland, 2024-04)Although Atlantic Forest is diverse and heavily fragmented, little is known about the impact of edges created from fragmentation on forest structure and plant diversity. Our investigation of vegetation at agricultural edges ...

Abundance and arboreal tendencies of slugs in forested wetlands of southwestern Nova Scotia, Canada (Ottawa Field Naturalists Club, 2022-01-21)Non-native slugs, such as Arion, are becoming a concern for land managers in Nova Scotia, Canada, particularly in forested wetlands. They appear to have a highly diverse diet and may pose a particular risk to ...
-
(Pleiades Publishing, 2015-09-13)We use data on space distribution of the currently most complete sample of Cepheids with reliable distances (565 stars), located within ~5 kpc from the Sun, to study the spiral pattern of the Milky Way galaxy. We ...
-
(Ecological Society of America, 2015-04-01)Ecosystems often experience multiple environmental stressors simultaneously that can differ widely in their pathways and strengths of impact. Differences in the relative impact of environmental stressors can guide restoration ...
-
(Elsevier Inc, 2015-08-2)We consider two extensions of free probability that have been studied in the research literature, and are based on the notions of c-freeness and respectively of infinitesimal freeness for noncommutative random ...
-
(EDP Sciences, 2019-11-15)We present a study of six far-infrared fine structure lines in the z = 4.225 lensed dusty star-forming galaxy SPT 0418−47 to probe the physical conditions of its interstellar medium (ISM). In particular, we report Atacama ...
-
(Cornell University Library, arXiv.org, 2017-10)We describe the hCOSMOS redshift survey of the COSMOS field conducted with the Hectospec spectrograph on the MMT. In the central 1~deg$^2$, the hCOS20.6 subset of the survey is $>90\%$ complete to a limiting $r=20.6$. The ...

Imaging the molecular interstellar medium in a gravitationally lensed star-forming galaxy at z = 5.7 (The American Astronomical Society, 2019-07-30)Aims. We present and study spatially resolved imaging obtained with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) of multiple 12CO(J = 6 − 5, 8−7, and 9−8) ...
-
(The American Astronomical Society, 2018-02-20)We announce ChromaStarPy, an integrated general stellar atmospheric modeling and spectrum synthesis code written entirely in python V. 3. ChromaStarPy is a direct port of the ChromaStarServer (CSServ) Java modeling code ...
-
(IOP Publishing, 2018-10)Aperture synthesis arrays are commonly used in radio astronomy to take images of radio point sources, with the planned Square Kilometre Array (SKA) being the most common example. One approach to enhancing the quality of ...
-
(Springer Netherlands, 2018-05-22)This study’s objective was to exploit infrared VVV (VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea) photometry for high latitude RRab stars to establish an accurate Galactic Centre distance. RRab candidates were discovered ...
-
(American Chemical Society, 2018-08)A mechanochemical approach has been demonstrated for the selective cleavage of nitrogen–carbon bonds in the N-demethylation of various alkaloids relevant in the pharmaceutical industry. This methodology employs a range of ...
-
(Department of History at the University of New Brunswick, 2018-06)In April 2018, actor Rob Lowe appeared on the American talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live to promote his most recent movie. In the segment he adlibbed about the Halifax Explosion and explained that he had convinced the movie's ...
-
(The American Astronomical Society, 2017-04)Deep near-IR images from the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) Survey were used to search for RR Lyrae stars in the Southern Galactic plane. A sizable sample of 404 RR Lyrae of type ab stars was identified across a ...
-
(The American Astronomical Society, 2017-03)We present the chemical distribution of the Milky Way, based on 2900 of u-band photometry taken as part of the Canada-France Imaging Survey. When complete, this survey will cover 10,000 of the northern sky. By combing the ...
-
(The American Astronomical Society, 2017-04)Photometric CCD UB VIC photometry obtained for 4860 stars surrounding the embedded southern cluster SAI 113 (Skiff 8) is used to examine the reddening in the field and derive the distance to the ...
-
(The American Astronomical Society, 2017-03-20)We use deep multi-epoch near-IR images of the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) Survey to search for RR Lyrae stars toward the Southern Galactic plane. Here, we report the discovery of a group of RR ...
-
(The American Astronomical Society, 2017-03-03)High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy with Hitomi was expected to resolve the origin of the faint unidentified E ≈ 3.5 keV emission line reported in several low-resolution studies of various massive ...
