McDaniel, Susan | Continuities and transformations: challenges to capturing information about the 'Information Society' | Continuous change and radical transformations are intrinsic and often contradictory in the 'Information Society.' If the 'Information Society' marks a radical social shift, i.e. discontinuous change, then theorizing what the phenomenon is becomes crucial in capturing useful information about it.

Coley, Phyllis D.; Kursar, Thomas A. | Effects of weather on fungal abundance and richness among 25 communities in the Intermountain West | Because moisture and temperature influence the growth of fungi, characterizing weather conditions favorable for fungi may be used to predict the abundance and richness of fungi in habitats with different climate conditions. To estimate habitat favorability to fungi, we examined the relationship of f... | Intermountain West; Utah; Microclimate; Fungal prevalence | 2002 |
