The potential of seedbank digital information in plant conservation
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Seedbanks are vital for biodiversity conservation, but their potential remains underutilised due to a limited understanding of the intraspecific genetic diversity they hold. By leveraging digitised data associated with seedbank collections, such as sampling locations, number of maternal plants and seed traits, we can attempt the estimation of genetic ...

Enhanced surface interaction of water confined in hierarchical porous polymers induced by hydrogen bonding [PDF]
, 2016 Hierarchical porous polymer systems are increasingly applied to catalysis, bioengineering, or separation technology because of the versatility provided by the connection of mesopores with percolating macroporous structures.

Digitalising biodiversity: Exploring perceptions on risks and opportunities
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Digitalisation is transforming biodiversity conservation, offering new opportunities for research, governance and public engagement. Herbarium digitisation, for example, enables large‐scale access to plant data, supporting conservation, restoration and sustainable use.

Sketching-out virtual humans: A smart interface for human modelling and animation [PDF]
, 2007 In this paper, we present a fast and intuitive interface for sketching out 3D virtual humans and animation. The user draws stick figure key frames first and chooses one for “fleshing-out” with freehand body contours.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Stalk rot, primarily caused by Fusarium graminearum (Fg) and Pythium inflatum (Pi), is a major maize disease responsible for significant yield losses. The molecular mechanisms governing defence against these pathogens remain poorly understood. To uncover key miRNAs and their regulatory genes, small RNA, degradome, and transcriptome sequencing ...

Analog Network Coding for Multi-User Spread-Spectrum Communication Systems
, 2014 This work presents another look at an analog network coding scheme for multi-user spread-spectrum communication systems. Our proposed system combines coding and cooperation between a relay and users to boost the throughput and to exploit interference. To

Failure dynamics of the global risk network [PDF]
, 2015 Risks threatening modern societies form an intricately interconnected network that often underlies crisis situations. Yet, little is known about how risk materializations in distinct domains influence each other.
