Evaluation of the ‘‘safe nesting zone’ ’ hypothesis across an urban gradient: a multi-scale study
"... Urban areas have been considered ‘‘safe zones’ ’ for nesting birds because of low abundance of predators, and consequently low predation pressure. We studied risk of artificial ground nest predation across an urban gradient at regional (100/100 km) and local scales (5/5 km, within town) in Finland, ..."

Hormesis as a Biological Hypothesis
"... A comprehensive effort was undertaken to identify articles demonstrating chemical hormesis. Nearly 4000 potentially relevant articles were retrieved from preliminary computer database searches by using various key word descriptors and extensive cross-referencing. A priori evaluation criteria were es ..."

no observable effect level for the particular end point. Based on the evaluation criteria, high to moderate evidence of hormesis was observed in studies comprised of> 6 doses; with>3 doses in the hormetic zone. The present analysis suggests that chemical hormesis is a reproducible and relatively common
1ZoneTrust: Fast Zone-Based Node Compromise Detection and Revocation in Wireless Sensor Networks Using Sequential Hypothesis Testing
"... Abstract—Due to the unattended nature of wireless sensor networks, an adversary can physically capture and compromise sensor nodes and then mount a variety of attacks with the compromised nodes. To minimize the damage incurred by the compromised nodes, the system should detect and revoke them as soo ..."

-larly, software-attestation schemes detect the subverted software modules of compromised nodes. However, they require each sensor node to be attested periodically, thus incurring substantial overhead. To mitigate the limitations of the existing schemes, we propose a zone-based node compromise detection
Smooth Transition Autoregressive Target Zone Model with SV Error Term with Applications. Working Paper
, 2005
"... Abstract This paper proposes to model the error term in smooth transition autoregressive target zone model as Gaussian with stochastic volatility (STARTZ-SV) or as Student-t with GARCH volatility (STARTZ-TGARCH). Using the dynamics of Norwegian krone exchange rate index, we show that both models pr ..."

A hypothesis for delayed dynamic earthquake triggering, Geophys
- Res. Lett
, 2005
"... [1] It’s uncertain whether more near-field earthquakes are triggered by static or dynamic stress changes. This ratio matters because static earthquake interactions are increasingly incorporated into probabilistic forecasts. Recent studies were unable to demonstrate all predictions from the static-st ..."

-stress-change hypothesis, particularly seismicity rate reductions. However, current dynamic stress change hypotheses do not explain delayed earthquake triggering and Omori’s law. Here I show numerically that if seismic waves can alter some frictional contacts in neighboring fault zones, then dynamic triggering might cause
A hypothesis concerning a confined groundwater zone in slopes of weathered igneous rocks
- in Symposium on Slope Hazards and Their Prevention
, 2000
"... In this paper an attempt is made to offer insights into local slope failure mechanisms from the perspective of hydrogeology. The hypothesis examined envisages that the hydraulic conductivity distribution in a weathered profile includes a relatively high hydraulic conductivity zone associated with th ..."

Hurricanes and coral reefs: the intermediate disturbance hypothesis revisited. Coral Reefs
, 1993
"... Abstract. A review of research on the effects of hurricanes on coral reefs suggests that the intermediate disturbance hypothesis may be applicable to shallow reef zones domi-nated by branching or foliaceous coral species that are especially susceptible to mechanical damage from storms. Diversity (H& ..."

Plumes in stellar convection zones
, 1999
"... Abstract. All numerical simulations of compressible convection reveal the presence of strong downwards directed flows. Thanks to helioseismology, such plumes have now been detected also at the top of the solar convection zone, on supergranular scales. Their properties may be crudely described by ado ..."

by adopting Taylor’s turbulent entrainment hypothesis, whose validity is well established under various conditions. Using this model, one finds that the strong density stratification does not prevent the plumes from traversing the whole convection zone, and that they carry upwards a net energy flux
RESEARCH ARTICLE Phylogeography of the Coastal Mosquito Aedes togoi across Climatic Zones: Testing an Anthropogenic Dispersal Hypothesis

It occurs also in tropical Southeast Asia and the North American Pacific coast, and the popu-lations there are thought to have be ..."
