Hiers, Quinn A (2019-09-10)With the removal of fire and increased grazing pressures in savanna ecosystems worldwide, graminoid abundances have decreased while invasive woody shrubs densities have increased. This has contributed to numerous deleterious ...
-
Park, Sunhwa (2017-05-30)As chemical process plants have become more involved and complex, the likelihood of hazardous incidents has increased simultaneously. That is, the more complex a facility’s systems, the more factors engineers must consider. ...
