The following article is an initial part of research, the main aim which to identify and develop artistic, critical, literary scientific achievements Jacek Petelenz-Łukasiewicz (1934–2021). current text concerns insufficiently penetrated area writer’s creative activity, namely his poetry. It turns out that this creativity draws on many different philosophical systems currents, its core broadly unde...

Extracting entities from natural language text to design conceptual models of the entity relationships is not trivial and novice designers students can find it especially difficult. Researchers have suggested linguistic rules/guidelines for extracting text. Unfortunately, while these guidelines are often correct they can, also, be invalid. There no rule that true at all times. This paper sugges...

While the emergence of new forms performance writing in 1960s and 1970s did not eliminate traditional drama, they radically transformed role textuality theatre. This article argues that when liberated from rules dramatic even syntax grammar, brings an illocationary logic into textual production. The concludes with a preliminary consideration differences between experimental strategies latest te...

We studied short-term (1–3 years) responses of plant species and functional group abundances, richness, evenness, diversity, and similarity following cessation of 25 years (1972–1997) of herbicide application in a remnant of Blackland Tallgrass Prairie in central Texas. Substantial increases in plant cover from 1998 to 2000 were observed for annual forbs (359%–900%), primarily attributable to f...

We used 7 years of live-trapping data from an Illinois population of prairie voles to examine how survival and reproductive success varied with size and composition of social groups. Specifically, we examined measures of fitness for residents of single female units, male–female pairs and communal groups. Reproductive success, measured as either the number of young that survived to 12 or 30 days...

Social behavior of the prairie vole, Microtus ochrogaster, including monogamy, mate guarding, philopatry, communal nesting, and territoriality, evolved as an adaptation to habitats with low food prevalent in the original range of the species. These behaviors are associated with low population densities and low amplitudes of fluctuation characteristic of low food habitats. In particular, reprodu...

of their natural distributions in southern Alberta, Canada. In this semi-arid area, poplars are obligate riparian species but they occupy several intergrading ecoregions. Populus deltoides Bartr. ex Marsh predominates in the warmest and driest eastern prairie ecoregions; P. balsamifera L. occupies the cooler and wetter western parkland and montane ecoregions; and P. angustifolia James and hybri...

I compared growth and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) colonization of two prairie grasses (Wild rye [Elymus canadensis] and Little bluestem [Schizachyrium scoparium]), an earlyand a late-dominating species in prairie restorations, respectively, grown in soil from restored prairies of differing age, soil characteristics, and site history. There were no consistent patterns between restoration...
