DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9467
Abstract: Abstract Dual effects of spatial distance and environment shape archipelagic floras. In Malesia, there are multiple environmental stressors associated with increasing uplands, drought, and metal‐rich ultramafic soils. Here, we examine the contrasting impacts of multifactorial… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00426-018-1091-7
Abstract: A classic example of discriminatory behavior is keeping spatial distance from an out-group member. To explain this social behavior, the literature offers two alternative theoretical options that we label as the “threat hypothesis” and the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10707-020-00393-z
Abstract: Top-k joins have been extensively studied when numerical valued attributes are joined on an equality predicate. Other types of join attributes and predicates have received little to no attention. In this paper, we consider spatial… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10750-020-04309-8
Abstract: Metacommunity structure depends on environmental and spatial factors. Stream fishes are constrained to disperse within dendritic networks and waterfalls and other barriers add resistance to species dispersal. We evaluated the importance of environmental and spatial… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jesp.2019.103939
Abstract: Abstract In language, people often refer to decision difficulty in terms of spatial distance. Specifically, decision-difficulty is expressed as proximity, for instance when people say that a decision was “too close to call”. Although these… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.obhdp.2020.01.007
Abstract: Abstract Although past research suggests that people are more likely to donate money to nearby causes to maximize their positive impact on others’ lives, donations to foreign causes are growing rapidly. Incorporating both other-focused impact… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/access.2022.3152785
Abstract: Selective image segmentation is one of the most significant subjects in medical imaging and real-world applications. We present a robust selective segmentation model based on local spatial distance utilizing a dual-level set variational formulation in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/00471178221135036
Abstract: Scholars of war and combat posit that soldiers are more willing to execute strikes on adversaries when they perceive lower risk to themselves or less connection with their targets. Accordingly, technologies like the drone, which… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/1948550617707017
Abstract: Proximity, or spatial closeness, can generate social closeness—the closer people are together, the more they interact, affiliate, and befriend one another. Mediated communication allows people to bridge spatial distance and can increase social closeness between… read more here.
