A Secret Tunnel Through The Horizon

open access: yes, 2004
Hawking radiation is often intuitively visualized as particles that have tunneled across the horizon. Yet, at first sight, it is not apparent where the barrier is. Here I show that the barrier depends on the tunneling particle itself.

Population dynamics of apparent competition in a host–parasitoid assemblage

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, 1998
Summary The population dynamics of two moth species, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) and Ephestia kuehniella Zeller in the presence of their shared parasitoid, Venturia canescens (Gravenhorst), were studied in well replicated time series experiments.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Understanding the Impact of Scale Height on the Kinetics and Kinematics of Dogs in Working Trials

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
Working trials is a canine discipline that originated from police and military dog work. One aspect of working trials competition is for a dog to “scale” a 6ft high wooden wall.

Bending and Breaking of Stripes in a Charge-Ordered Manganite [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In complex electronic materials, coupling between electrons and the atomic lattice gives rise to remarkable phenomena, including colossal magnetoresistance and metal-insulator transitions.

A methionine‐lined active site governs carbocation stabilization and product specificity in a bacterial terpene synthase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These

Slowing down wolves to protect boreal caribou populations: a spatial simulation model of linear feature restoration

open access: yesEcosphere, 2019
In Canada, boreal caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) are declining in numbers, in part due to increased predation by wolves (Canis lupus). One management option to reduce wolf–caribou interactions and thus protect caribou is to remove man‐made linear ...

Rheological properties vs Local Dynamics in model disordered materials at Low Temperature

open access: yes, 2014
We study the rheological response at low temperature of a sheared model disordered material as a function of the bond rigidity. We find that the flow curves follow a Herschel-Bulkley law, whatever is the bond rigidity, with an exponent close to 0.5 ...

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

Seasonal variation in the utility of a status signaling system: Plumage ornament predicts foraging success only during periods of high competition. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Status signals allow competitors to assess each other's resource holding potential and reduce the occurrence of physical fights. Because status signals function to mediate competition over resources, a change in the strength of competition may affect the
