the ability of boards to perform their roles depends largely on their composition. board composition refers to the number of directors and type of members as determined by the usual insider or outsider classification. several empirical studies in other country have concluded that board composition determines a board’s power as an instrument of corporate control and contributes to company perfor...

The composition of nematode communities (plant-parasitic and free-living) may be used as bioindicators of soil health or condition because composition correlates well with nitrogen cycling and decomposition, two critical ecological processes in soil. Maturity and trophic diversity indices withstand statistical rigor better than do abundances, proportions, or ratios of trophic groups. Maturity i...

road construction is one of the effective factors for ecological changes which affects diversity and species composition in forest roads edges. this research was performed in kheirud forest to evaluate herbaceous diversity and tree regeneration establishment in different distances from road edge. for this purpose, we sampled herbaceous and tree species regeneration in 0,5,10,25, 50 and 100 m di...

The analysis of the dependence of landscape patterns on environment was carried out in order to investigate the landscape structure evolution of Spain. The underlying concept was that the dependence between landscape spatial structure and environmental factors could be gradually decreasing over time. Land cover data were recorded from aerial photo interpretation of 206 4 × 4 km samples from thr...

in order to study the effect of canopy gap size on species diversity and composition in mixed stands, a reserved area which located in asalem forests was selected. all of gaps in this area identified and were divided into four categories: small gaps (1000 m2). in each category, 21 of gaps with a relatively homogeneous in terms of an aspect and slope were selected. the major and minor diameter o...

Multiple-view visualization (MV) is a layout design technique often employed to help users see large number of data attributes and values in single cohesive representation. Because its generalizability, the MV has been widely adopted by community examine interact with large, complex, high-dimensional data. However, although ubiquitous, there little work categorize analyze MVs order better under...
