Ecosystem services provided by spiders

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spiders, ubiquitous and abundant predators in terrestrial ecosystems, often are the subjects of an unjust negative perception. However, these remarkable creatures stand as unsung heroes within our ecosystems, contributing a multitude of ecosystem services critical to human well‐being.

RESONANCES IN SATURN’S SYSTEM

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2017
One  of  principal  tasks  of  celestial mechanics  is  study  of  motion  of  natural  satellites  of planets.  In  this  work,  the  authors  have  examined resonances  in  system  of  satellites  and  rings  of  Saturn.

Global regularization method for planar restricted three-body problem [PDF]

open access: yesSerbian Astronomical Journal, 2015
In this paper, global regularization method for planar restricted three-body problem is purposed by using the transformation z = x+iy = ν cos n(u+iv), where i = √−1, 0 < ν ≤ 1 and n is a positive integer. The method is developed analytically and

An Invitation to Singular Symplectic Geometry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In this paper we analyze in detail a collection of motivating examples to consider $b^m$-symplectic forms and folded-type symplectic structures. In particular, we provide models in Celestial Mechanics for every $b^m$-symplectic structure.

On the integrability of the n-centre problem

open access: yes, 2004
It is known that for $n \geq 3$ centres and positive energies the $n$-centre problem of celestial mechanics leads to a flow with a strange repellor and positive topological entropy.

Marx's Concept of Life

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract This essay aims to reveal the conceptual unity of an ensemble of concepts of organic, animal, and anthropological life articulated by the young Karl Marx between 1842 and 1844. To lay the groundwork for my analysis, I begin with Marx's general account of “life as activity.” I argue that Marx articulates a hylomorphic theory of organic form in ...

Motion of Test Bodies in a Quasi-Newtonian Potential. II. Comparison with Experiments

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2003
The paper deals with the motion of test bodies in a Quasi-Newtonian potential for which the expressions corresponding to the effects of General Relativity are found. It is impossible to choose the values of parameters of the potential which could be in a

Collisional Velocities and Rates in Resonant Planetesimal Belts

open access: yes, 2007
We consider a belt of small bodies around a star, captured in one of the external or 1:1 mean-motion resonances with a massive perturber. The objects in the belt collide with each other.
