DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3870
Abstract: Recent findings in forests worldwide have evidenced how directionality in the richness-abundance causality shifts along global climate gradients: The "More Species Hypothesis" (richness determines abundance) prevailed towards the most productive Earth's climates whereas the opposite,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10044-021-01013-8
Abstract: Directionality is useful in many computer vision, pattern recognition, visualization, and multimedia applications since it is considered as an important pre-attentive attribute in human vision. To support using directionality (i.e., orientedness) for texture discrimination, a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11097-018-9586-7
Abstract: My analysis of temporal direction begins by establishing that time-reversal scenarios, scenarios in which the direction of time itself is reversed, whether locally or globally, are incoherent. Building on this conclusion, I argue that temporal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2017.06.036
Abstract: A successful methodology for obtaining hybrid films which allow thermal triggering and continuous, irreversible, control of their hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity nature was developed. Two types of poly(dimethylsiloxane)-silica (PDMS@SiO2) films were prepared for that purpose: A hydrophilic film… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0954579422000852
Abstract: Abstract The present study examined the intergenerational transmission of internalizing and externalizing symptom severity, which indexes comorbidity, and symptom directionality, which indicates differentiation toward externalizing versus internalizing problems. Data are from 854 male and female,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2023gl102905
Abstract: Infrasound (low frequency sound waves) can be used to monitor and characterize volcanic eruptions. However, infrasound sensors are usually placed on the ground, thus providing a limited sampling of the acoustic radiation pattern that can… read more here.
