Slime mould computes planar shapes [PDF]

, 2011
Computing a polygon defining a set of planar points is a classical problem of modern computational geometry. In laboratory experiments we demonstrate that a concave hull, a connected alpha-shape without holes, of a finite planar set is approximated by ...

Permissible Purchasing, Obligatory Abstention: The Strict Vegan Case against New Omnivorism

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent developments in consumer ethics have given rise to a new breed of animal protectionist: the new omnivore. These new wave animal protectionists claim that strict veganism is impermissible for the very reason that typically motivates strict veganism; that is, animal protectionism.

IN VITRO NUTRITIONAL EVALUATION OF SMALL-GRAIN CEREAL FORAGE FOR SMALL-SCALE DAIRY SYSTEMS

Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2017
Small-grain cereals are promoted as forage alternatives that may substitute for other traditional crops when short cycle forages are required for cattle feeding. The objective of the work was to assess in vitro the nutritive quality, ruminal fermentation

Determining Terminal Velocities of Selected Insects and Substitute Materials to Develop Future Test Procedures for Insect‐Friendly Mowing Technology

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agricultural grasslands are vital habitats for insects that provide key ecosystem services. However, conventional rotary mowers are proposed to cause significant insect mortality due to the high rotational speed of their blades and the resulting airflow.

Approximating Mexican highways with slime mould

, 2010
Plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum is a single cell visible by unaided eye. During its foraging behavior the cell spans spatially distributed sources of nutrients with a protoplasmic network. Geometrical structure of the protoplasmic networks allows the

A natural variation within duplicated AsWRKY49‐D2 drives the subgenomic functional divergence of homeologs in salt response of allohexaploid oats

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Transcriptome analysis of oats under salt stress identified ten important salt‐responsive transcription factor families, which show extensive functional divergence among three oat subgenomes. Further integration with a genome‐wide association study under salt stress identified the AsWRKY49‐D2 gene, whose elite haplotype holds substantial potential for ...
