Controllable Intrinsic Surface Pattern Generation Using Slime Mold Simulations

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Surface‐based pattern simulations have proven valuable for texture design and scientific visualization, but existing methods face several limitations. Most simulations either target a narrow range of pattern types (e.g. spots, branching) or support a broad range of patterns at the cost of time‐consuming parameter tuning.

Magical Realist Hauntings in Children's Everyday Encounters With Death, or, How to Believe in Impossible Things

Children &Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern deaths have become reiterations. That is, despite exhibiting a seemingly high‐level of diversity in death's representations in everyday lives, death suffers from a particular onto‐epistemological poverty that prevents it from being imagined otherwise.

Park‐and‐multi‐loop with autonomous delivery robots in last‐mile logistics

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper deals with the park‐and‐multi‐loop routing problem, in the context of last‐mile logistics, in which a fleet of traditional vehicles equipped with several autonomous delivery robots leaves from a depot to service a set of customer requests.

Efficient exact formulations for the flexible job shop scheduling with flexible maintenance

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In modern manufacturing systems, integrating preventive maintenance into production scheduling is essential to ensure operational efficiency and equipment reliability. This paper addresses the flexible job shop scheduling problem under machine unavailability constraints caused by non‐fixed maintenance tasks.

Divergent exploratory‐avoidant behavioural strategies may drive niche differentiation in juvenile Antarctic fishes

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract We used an ecological niche theory framework integrating physiological and behavioural ecology to understand interspecific differentiation of juveniles of four Antarctic fishes: Trematomus bernacchii, Trematomus pennellii, Trematomus nicolai and Pagothenia borchgrevinki.

Archaeal Genes Code for GGDEF Domain Proteins With Diguanylate Cyclase Activity

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
A biofilm‐like mode of growth is hypothesized to be required for the emergence of cellular life. Occurrence of common biofilm gene products in current Bacteria and Archaea is an indication for their previous presence in the last universal common ancestor LUCA and perhaps even in the first universal common ancestor FUCA.

A pellet‐based approach for moss biocrust inoculation: high establishment under laboratory conditions, challenges in the field

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are key components of soil ecosystems and promising tools for ecological restoration. Mosses, as important biocrust constituents, contribute to ecosystem functioning but often fail to establish after inoculation due to harsh environmental constraints.

Seeing Through an Ant's Eyes: Do Entomopathogenic Fungi Extend Their Cognition to Their Hosts?

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Post‐cognitivist approaches recognize cognition as a phenomenon that involves not just brains but all the sensorimotor apparatus of organisms. This means that brains are not always required for the emergence of cognition and that every organism can, in principle, be cognitive, unlocking a theoretical framework to explain the complex adaptive ...
