Catastrophic Landscape Modification from Massive Landslide Tsunamis: An Example from Taan Fiord, Alaska
… most previously surveyed tsunamis. Extensive modifications observed and documented on several low gradient fan deltas within the fiord make Taan Fiord an excellent laboratory for characterizing geomorphic signatures of a high runup tsunami event. Although interest in this topic is high, most …

Spatial Patterns of Raised Fields and Linguistic Diversity in Mojos, Beni, Bolivia
… have also influenced the different methods of landscape modification. This thesis presents a GIS-based spatial analysis of raised fields, a type of agricultural earthwork found throughout the Llanos de Mojos (Mojos), located in the Beni Department of Bolivia. The distribution of fields, forest …

Stochastic Modeling and Simulations of Biological Transport
… mechanism, (2) take into account the free energy landscape modification of individual motor domains due to interdomain interaction, (3) recognize the effect of spatial fluctuations on biochemical properties of molecular motors, and (4) calculate the dynamical properties such as velocities, …

Ecology Of Non-Breeding And Breeding Crested Caracaras (Caracara cheriway) In Florida
… management-oriented restrictions on landscape modification are applied where breeding occurs, but management rarely is extended beyond breeding areas. Focusing management on breeding areas can be effective if all caracaras occupy breeding areas, all breeding areas are detected, and no …

Direct and indirect effects of native and invasive plants on mosquito ecology
… characteristics of mosquitoes, and suggest landscape modification strategies that may be used to manage an important disease vector species in residential ecosystems.

Metapopulation theory explains Black-stripe Minnow (Pisces: Galaxiidae, Galaxiella nigrostriata) distribution in seasonal wetlands in south-west Western Australia
… nutrient enrichment, salinity, introduced fish, landscape modification and changes to hydroperiod by groundwater abstraction and declining rainfall. Inundated wetlands that previously contained G. nigrostriata, and wetlands where they had not been recorded, were sampled throughout south-west WA. …

Modifying landscapes with penalties in iterative improvement for solving distributed constraint satisfaction problems.
… or modifying the shapes of objective landscapes to guide a search out of plateaus. We present a new approach for dealing with local optima in distributed iterative improvement by modifying the cost landscape with two forms of penalties which are attached to individual domain values. We …

Landscape pattern analysis related to forest wildlife resources
… decisions are increasingly being made at the landscape level. Understanding the relationship between modification and the pattern of land classes may minimize potential impacts and enhance the complement of wildlife species. Twenty-four expressions were selected for landscape analysis that …
