Competitive displacement among insects and arachnids.

Competitive displacement is the most severe outcome of interspecific competition. For the purposes of this review, we define this type of displacement as the removal of a formerly established species from a habitat as a result of direct or indirect competitive interactions with another species. We reviewed the literature for recent putative cases of competitive displacement among insects and ar...

We formulate a complete path integral bosonization procedure for any fermionic theory in two dimensions. The classical action of the bosons in the bosonized theory is −i times the logarithm of the Jacobian of a local chiral transformation, with the boson fields as transformation parameters. Three examples, the Schwinger model, the massive Thirring model and massive non-Abelian bosonization, are...

Online content have become an important medium to disseminate information and express opinions. With the proliferation of online document collections, users are faced with the problem of missing the big picture in a sea of irrelevant and/or diverse content. In this thesis, we addresses the problem of information organization of online document collections, and provide algorithms that create a s...
