Movement in the architecture of the city: a study in environmental diversity
… and movement has reduced the degree of environmental diversity in architecture and the urban realm. Biological sciences suggest that diversity, within a certain range of variation, is desirable to exercise the adaptive capacities of any living organism; a slight instability being the …

Factors that affect the electronic distribution channel structure
… internally. In the case of other two variables (environmental uncertainty and environmental diversity), the regression coefficients had the hypothesized sign but the results were not statistically significant. Overall, the results indicate that transaction cost economics could be used to explain …

New methods to improve detection and classification on waterfowl and tree in aerial images
… holds great po- tential for monitoring environmental diversity and stability. While trees can be categorized by family, genus, and species, existing classifiers often overlook the hi- erarchical relationships among these categories. To address this gap, ConsistentNet was developed to …

Dynamics of Land Use, Environment, and Social Organization in the Sasanian Landscape of Eastern Iraq—Western Iran
… investigates population’s diverse responses to environmental variability during the Sasanian period (224-651 CE) across a landscape in eastern Iraq—western Iran. Two coping mechanisms of mobility and intensification, and how they shaped settlement and land use patterns are explored. …
