The Holocene spans the past 11,500 years. Much of the Holocene time scale is obtained from Greenland and Antarctic ice-core data, from stratigraphic pollen records, and other records of floral, faunal, and landscape changes. Records younger then 45,000 years are also within the range of radiocarbon dating. The recent Holocene is the historic period when some written records are available and finally the past century or so, the contemporary period, where directly measured climatic data are available for comparison. 

We illustrated that recent advances in the fields of quantum chemistry, experimental microscopy and spectroscopy, and chemical synthesis represent landscape-changing developments that have allowed us to pursue approaches toward the formulation of heterogeneous catalysts which are based on the understanding of the underlying molecular transformations that govern catalyst performance. These approaches rely on the ability to identify and control critical elementary reactions on active sites. It is important to stress that we view experimental and theoretical techniques as complementary to each other. For instance, in the example presented above, the results obtained from in-situ TEM measurements [34] were utilized along with DFT calculations to obtain a molecular mechanism for the formation of carbon deposits on Ni. This molecular information allowed for the development of a systematic approach, based on first-principles calculations, that was utilized to identify possible carbon-tolerant alternatives to Ni.

Another factor to consider is that the ratio of nitrogen to phosphorus in nutrient inputs from land will tend to reflect the extent of human activity in the landscape. As the landscape changes from one dominated by forests to one dominated by agriculture and then industry, total nutrient fluxes from land increase for both nitrogen and phosphorus, but the change is often greater for phosphorus and so the...

This chapter will review information relevant to the biogeochemical cycle of mercury, specifically (i) the speciation chemistry of mercury, (ii) the fate of mercury in air, water and sediment, and (iii) the effects of landscape changes on mercury fate. The chapter will end with a summary of a recent multidisciplinary mercury mass balance conducted in Kejimkujik Park (Nova Scotia, Canada).

Landscape ecology differs from classical ecology in that it focuses on spatial patterns and broadscale research on how spatial patterning affects ecosystems. Theories of landscape ecology concentrate on the interaction and impact of people on landscape structure, function, and change. Landscape structure is determined by the spatial relationships between the elements common to all landscapes patches, edges, boundaries, corridors, and matrices. Landscape function is defined by interactions between spatial elements and patterns, such as quantity of habitat, size of landscape structures, and landscape connectivity. Landscape change is determined by modifications in the structure and function of landscape over time. 

The profit landscape changes with time, due to ehanges in the prices of raw materials, products, and utilities, and on-line optimization can be used to periodically adjust the operating conditions to follow the profit maximum (e.g., Biegler et al., 1997). On-line optimization is based on local (rather than global) optimization, due to the computational intensity of global optimization procedures and the need to carry out the on-line optimization quickly. Tliis paper addresses consequences of the local optimization nature of on-line optimization on process performance. 

Coastal processes (D2 - discretionary). This criterion relates to coastal erosion or other landscape changes. This criterion is site specific and is not addressed by the generic APIOOO design. Further consideration of this issue will be necessary at the site specific planning/design stages. 

Unlike solid-phase organic synthesizers, automated synthesizers for peptide synthesis are commercially available (Advanced ChemTech, Protein Technologies, to name just two old players in this field). The automated solid-phase synthesis of peptides was reviewed in 2002,and then again with aspects of peptidomimetic development. " Since the landscape changes frequently, the latest information can always be obtained on the Internet.

The results presented in [6-8] are intriguing. However, they concern a specific snapshot in the detection capabilities of AVs against malware threats prevalent in that time period (1599 malware samples collected from a distributed honeypot deployment over a period of 178 days from February to August 2008). In the security field the threat landscape changes rapidly and it is not clear to what extent these findings can be generalized to currently spreading malware. It is also not clear whether the diversity benefits reported in [6-8] are specific to that specific collection environment and time period, or whether they are consistent with other environments and time periods.
