Natural disasters, such as hurricanes and forest fires, could trigger collapse and reorganization of social-ecological systems. In the face of external perturbations, a resilient system would have capacity to absorb impacts, ...

Management frequently creates system conditions that poorly mimic the conditions of a desirable self-organizing regime. Such management is ubiquitous across complex systems of people and nature and will likely intensify ...

We test if a change in an attitude affects other related attitudes (i.e., dynamic constraint), a core prediction of belief systems theory. We use psychological network methods to represent the belief system and make ...

Many water-stressed regions of the globe have a highly seasonal precipitation regime. However, seasonality in the past and under changing climates is little studied. Submonthly records of sclerochronological δ18O and δ13C ...

Nitrous oxide (N 2O) is a long-lived greenhouse gas and currently contributes ∼10% to global greenhouse warming. Studies have suggested that inland waters are a large and growing global N 2O source, but whether, how, where, ...

In this thesis we study unstable vₕ-periodic homotopy theory, where h is a natural number; here ``unstable'' refers to the homotopy theory of topological spaces. The work consists of two parts. In Part I we give a detailed ...

The postmortem examination can be used as a means of quality control for clinical diagnoses. A retrospective study on 300 dogs and cats that had been admitted to a small animal intensive care unit was performed comparing ...

Previous studies have found that the morpho-syntactic aspects of grammatical morphemes, including articles, pose problems for Dutch-speaking children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI). In the present study it is ...

This dissertation introduces the “Volitional Cybersecurity” (VCS) theory as a systematic way to think about adoption and manage long-term adherence to cybersecurity approaches. The validation of VCS has been performed in ...
