Abstract:

Environmental and natural resource issues are often framed in multiple ways by multiple stakeholders. This is especially the case in relation to Arctic natural resource development: a complex issue bearing the hallmarks of modern sustainability challenges. With the increasing attention placed towards the Arctic’s natural resources comes a growing number of diverse voices, producing a discursive environment fertile for frame-conflicts and susceptible to misunderstanding, confusion and conflation. For many, the central challenge in tackling socio-ecological problems deriving from these complex i

Abstract:

The Bouteloua curtipendula (Michx.) Torr. complex (BCC) is composed of 11 species and five varieties distributed in North and South America with its center of diversity in Mexico. It is characterized by tremendous morphological variation and taxonomic complexity that is most likely due to reticulate evolution, phenotypic plasticity, and the development of asexual reproduction (apomixis). Climate-induced range changes over evolutionary time may explain the origin of the morphologically diverse BCC as suites of species came into contact over time, hybridized, and created new species, cytotypes,

Abstract:

The Alnö Complex is a Late Precambrian alkaline and carbonatite intrusion (c. 30km2) into Early Proterozoic country rock that extends from the north east, to the north western shoulder of Alnö Island. Carbonatites are rare among volcanic provinces, with Oldoinyo Lengai of northern Tanzania being the only active carbonatite volcano in the world today. The high carbonate mineral volumes and rare earth element (REE) concentrations of carbonatites, in combination with the intrusive-extrusive nature of their suites contribute to the rarity of these rocks. Carbonatites, through their peculiar petrol

Introduction: This thesis was submitted by Matthew Shardlow to the University of Manchester for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in the year 2015. Lexical simplification is the practice of automatically increasing the readability and understandability of a text by identifying problematic vocabulary and substituting easy to understand synonyms. This work describes the research undertaken during the course of a 4-year PhD. We have focused on the pipeline of operations which string together to produce lexical simplifications.

Abstract:

Recruitment failure of lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) in the Great Lakes has been attributed in part to the consumption of alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus) by adult lake trout, leading to Thiamine Deficiency Complex (TDC) and early mortality in fry. The current understanding of thiamine deficiency in lake trout fry is based on information from culture and hatchery settings, which do not represent conditions fry experience in the wild and may influence the occurrence of TDC. In the wild, lake trout fry have access to zooplankton immediately following hatching; previous studies found that wild

A key challenge of the Anthropocene is to advance human development without undermining critical ecosystem services.

Abstract:

Previous research has not specified the puzzling occurrence of the low prevalence of natural resource management (NRM) in intrastate peace- and ceasefire agreements. The purpose of this thesis is to address this gap by applying the theoretical perspectives on high natural resource abundance. High natural resource abundance produces conditions for poor economic management, which may serve as a possible explanation of the low prevalence of NRM. The result of the study indicates a negative correlation between high natural resource abundance and an inclusion of NRM in intrastate peace- and ceasefi

Abstract:

Recent literature argues that nations with abundant natural resources - primarily oil and minerals - tend to grow more slowly comparatively to resource-poor nations. Much of this cross-national variation in economic performance may be explained by the interaction between natural resources and institutional quality. Focusing on the importance of economic institutions in the form of property rights and the rule of law this paper presents an alternative explanation for the diverging economic paths in resource rich nations. Economic rents generated from abundant oil and gas resources may affect in

Abstract:

Face detection is an important preliminary process for all other tasks with faces, such as expression analysis and person identification. It is also known to be rapid and automatic, which indicates that detection might utilise low-level visual information. It has been suggested that this consist of a ‘skin-coloured, face-shaped template’, while internal facial features, such as the eyes, nose and mouth might also help to optimise performance. To explore these ideas directly, this thesis first examined how shape and features are integrated into a detection template (Chapter 2). For this purpose

These projects frequently lack a sufficient monitoring program or account for the environmental costs associated with SHI.
