Almost all spatial systems can be modelled as networks. Typically, networks representations of real systems are static, useful for generating descriptive network measures. However, recent interest lies in the represen...

Irrigation consumes three quarters of globalwater withdrawals each year. Strategies are needed toreduce irrigationwater use, including increasingtheefficiency of transfer methods and field *** restoration of soil health, specificallythrough organic matter amendments, can substantiallyreduce irrigation demand and increase crop yield. Aprogram to restore severely degraded and desertified soilsby incorporating coarse woodchips into the soil success-fully increased rainfall capture and elevated soil moisturefor several weeks between rainfall events at both Ningxia,north-west China and North Dakota, USA. With additionof fertilizer, woodchip incorporation further increasedgrowth of wheat and alfalfa. Comprehensive soil healthassessment of remnant grasslands was used to developtarget reference soil profiles by which to guide restorationefforts. Given that most agricultural soils are degraded tosome degree, soil health restoration can provide a powerfulstrategy toward achieving global food and water security.

Vernallis, CarolParis, CesareGardner, JustinWoodiwiss, AubreyCarol Vernallis’s monograph
Experiencing Music Video: Aesthetics and Cultural Context (CUP 2004) is the first to articulate a theory of how music lyrics and image can be placed in relation as well as provide detailed analyses of individual videos. Her second Unruly Media: YouTube Music Video and the New Digital Cinema (OUP 2013) takes account of a new mediascape that is driven by intensified audiovisual relations. Her third The Media Swirl (Duke 4/14/23) further considers the contemporary landscape. She is co-editor of Cybermedia: Explorations in Science Sound and Vision and Transmedia Directors (Bloomsbury) and two Oxford Handbooks on audiovisuality. She’s adjunct professor in the department of Cultural Studies and Comparative Literature at the University of Minnesota. Justin Gardner is an Associate Professor in Psychology at Stanford
where he heads the Gardner lab. He and his team use a combination of functional magnetic resonance imaging computational modeling and analysis and psychophysical measurements to study how neural activity in the human cortex creates our sense of visual perception. Of particular interest is the ways our brain mechanisms give rise to our remarkable cognitive feats such as selective attention and sensory inference. Gardner is also a member of BioX an affiliate of Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) and a member of Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute. Cesare Parise is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Liverpool
where he heads a lab devoted to multisensory perception. His current projects include the development of a model for fly vision that can be adapted to other creatures. Parise’s background is in experimental psychology. After earning his DPhil at Oxon he worked as a research scientist for the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics and the Center for Excellence in Cognitive Interaction Technologies. In 2016 he joined Facebook Reality Labs (now Meta Reality Labs) as a Primary Investigator in perception science wh

This article draws on recent findings in neuroscience to provide a close reading of Grimes's music video "Shinigami Eyes." It includes interviews with a neuroscientist who specializes in multisensory integration, a vision scientist, a color grader, and a media scholar. While multisensory integration is a burgeoning field, accessible texts and reviews are lacking. There haven't been analyses that apply the findings from the field of multisensory integration to real media objects. Drawing on neuroscience studies, this article explores the concept of Bayesian predictions (a viewer's experience of a present event weighted against previous experiences);the ways neuroscience explains color, size and placement, and emotion work;and processes such as the inverse effectiveness (when neurons boost both lower-res and higher-res signals, with the most perceptible often for sound), super-additive multisensory effects, the attentional blink, the ventriloquist effect, congruence and incongruity, memory, distractors, sound before image and vice versa, and other features. A conversation with the color grader for "Shinigami Eyes" helps fill things in. This article emerges from a belief that modules on neuroscience and industry studies can be incorporated as components of media study courses, and that neuroscience-informed analyses can facilitate interest and engagement with close readings.
Rapidly changing planning contexts, new stakeholder demands, and intensified natural resource conflicts have resulted in questions about the adequacy of traditional resource planning. These questions include the lack ...
