Faced with environmental degradation, governments worldwide are developing policies to safeguard ecosystem services (ES). Many ES models exist to support these policies, but they are generally poorly validated, especially at large scales, which undermines their credibility. To address this gap, we describe a study of multiple models of five ES, which we validate at an unprecedented scale against 1
Objectives: Establishment and development of the infant gastrointestinal microbiome (GIM) varies cross-culturally and is thought to be influenced by factors such as gestational age, birth mode, diet, and antibiotic exposure. However, there is little data as to how the composition of infants' households may play a role, particularly from a cross-cultural perspective. Here, we examined relationships
In this thesis, a class of linear time-invariant systems is identified for which a particular type of H-infinity optimal control problem can be solved explicitly. It follows that the synthesized controller can be given on a simple explicit form. More specifically, the controller can be written in terms of the matrices of the system’s state-space representation. The result has applications in the c
The process ${⤪ e}^{+}{⤪ e}^{-}⌝ghtarrow {⤪ W}^{+}{⤪ W}^{-}⌝ghtarrow {⤪ f}_{1}{⩈erline {⤪ f}}_{2}{⤪ f}_{3}{⩈erline {⤪ f}}_{4}$ contains charges in the initial, intermediate and final stages. This gives a rich selection of possible QED interconnection effects. Coulomb interaction is the simplest of these, and can thus be used to explore consequences. We study a number of experimental observables, w
