Ecological succession itself could be a theoretical reference for ecosystem restoration and reconstruction. Glacier forelands are ideal places for investigating plant succession because there are representative ecological succession records at long temporal scales. Based on field observations and experimental data on the foreland of Baishui number 1 Glacier on Mt. Yulong, the succession and dis...

When two masked targets are presented in rapid succession, correct identification of the first target (T1) leads to a dramatic impairment in identification of the second target (T2). Several studies of this so-called attentional blink (AB) phenomenon have provided behavioral and physiological evidence that T2 is processed to the semantic level, despite the profound impairment in T2 report. Thes...

A spatially explicit forest succession and disturbance model is used to delineate the extent and dispersion of oak decline under two fire regimes over a 150-year period. The objectives of this study are to delineate potential current and future oak decline areas using species composition and age structure data in combination with ecological land types, and to investigate how relatively frequent...

This paper describes a statistical model for extraction of events at the sentence level, or “semantic tagging”, typically the first level of processing in Information Extraction systems. We illustrate the approach using a management succession task, tagging sentences with three slots involved in each succession event: the post, person coming into the post, and person leaving the post. The appro...

Abstract This study investigates how family continuation, namely tradition and succession intention, alter the socially responsible behavior of small medium sized (SME) firms. Using a unique dataset, we have conducted multiple regressions on survey data from German SMEs show statistically economically significant increase in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) alongside planning succession. H...

Human resource information system (HRIS) is not new concept but it is recuperating day by day with changing environment. Its major role is in human resource planning (HRP) which itself a crucial activity in any organization. Ineffective HRP can lead to extra or fewer numbers of employees than needed. Both over and under number of employees can create crappy situations. HRIS helps in proper plan...

Employee retention is an important factor that affects the performance of company. The day when organization started operation to present day. It remains a question organization. How do retain productive employees? Globally, 56.5% employees are intending change their job due several reasons. In Pakistan, 23% working in customer service industry have intention leave current Succession planning c...

Lessons learned from the study of ecological succession have much to offer contemporary environmental problem solving but these lessons are being underutilized. As anthropogenic disturbances increase, succession is more relevant than ever. In this review, we suggest that succession is particularly suitable to address concerns about biodiversity loss, climate change, invasive species, and ecolog...

This study, conducted in Nyanza Gulf of Lake Victoria, assessed ecological succession and dynamic status of water hyacinth. Results show that water hyacinth is the genesis of macrophyte succession. On establishment, water hyacinth mats are first invaded by native emergent macrophytes, Ipomoea aquatica Forsk., and Enydra fluctuans Lour., during early stages of succession. This is followed by hip...
