Succession rules having a rational generating function are usually called rational succession rules. In this note we discuss some problems concerning rational succession rules, and determine a simple method to pass from a rational generating function to a rational succession rule, both defining the same number sequence. 2

In the last few decades, we have developed a substantial body of knowledge about CEO succession. However, except for some studies of family businesses that lack direct applicability to nonfamily CEO succession, the past studies of succession have not examined the very first succession event in a firm, when the Founder-CEO is replaced, on a largescale basis. The critical differences between late...

1. Succession and restoration are intrinsically linked because succession comprises species and substrate change over time and restoration is the purposeful manipulation of that change. 2. During succession both orderly and unpredictable patterns emerge but some general rules offer theoretical and practical insights for restoration activities. These insights are not often utilized due to inadeq...

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...

succession planning is one the most important survival strategies for effective operation in today turbulent world. apart from the importance of this strategy, in any organization, a diverse set of facilitating and preventing factors emerge in successor planning process which create a challenging force field pro or con to it. in this research, while facilitating and preventing methods in execut...

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...

A conscious experience – or, as I shall also call it, an appearance – as of a round blue object could exist in the absence of anything round or blue. An appearance as of an hour-long walk need not last more than several minutes – the appearance might be generated over the course of a brief period of REM sleep. Arguably, an appearance as of things arrayed in three-dimensional space could occur i...
