The spread of non‐native species

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Isoperimetric inequalities on slabs with applications to cubes and Gaussian slabs

Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, EarlyView.
Abstract We study isoperimetric inequalities on “slabs”, namely weighted Riemannian manifolds obtained as the product of the uniform measure on a finite length interval with a codimension‐one base. As our two main applications, we consider the case when the base is the flat torus R2/2Z2$\mathbb {R}^2 / 2 \mathbb {Z}^2$ and the standard Gaussian measure

Fourier Mass Lower Bounds for Batchelor‐Regime Passive Scalars

Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Batchelor predicted that a passive scalar ψν$\psi ^\nu$ with diffusivity ν$\nu$, advected by a smooth fluid velocity, should typically have Fourier mass distributed as |ψ̂ν|2(k)≈|k|−d$|\widehat{\psi }^\nu |^2(k) \approx |k|^{-d}$ for |k|≪ν−1/2$|k| \ll \nu ^{-1/2}$.

Plasmakristall‐4 Experiment: 10 Years of Operation in Orbit

Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plasmakristall‐4 (PK‐4) is a microgravity complex plasma laboratory operated for 10 years on board the International Space Station. Its main purpose is the particle‐resolved investigation of generic condensed matter phenomena using strongly coupled suspensions of microparticles immersed in low‐pressure gas‐discharge plasmas.

A novel construction approach for the pore structure model principally focuses on the controllable roundness of rock particles

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Particle rounding effects comparison of different methods: (a), (b), and (c) are the rounding results using the B‐spline curve method with different R; (d), (e), and (f) are the results of vertex rounding substitution method with different rounding radii.

Advection‐Pressure Splitting Schemes Applied to a Non‐Conservative 1D Blood Flow Model With Transport for Arteries and Veins

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, EarlyView.
We introduce new efficient and accurate first order finite volume‐type numerical schemes, for the non‐conservative one‐dimensional blood flow equations with transport, taking into account different velocity profiles. The framework is the flux‐vector splitting approach of Toro and Vázquez‐Cendón (2012), that splits the system in two subsystems of PDEs ...

Spin‐Crossover Modulated Luminescence in Materials and Molecular Complexes

Helvetica Chimica Acta, EarlyView.
The synergistic coupling of spin‐crossover and luminescent properties holds great promise for the development of multifunctional and stimuli‐responsive molecular materials. This contribution provides a comprehensive overview of the field, surveying the possible coupling mechanisms, the various synthetic strategies and their potential applicability, as ...

Comparing the Last Interglacial (MIS 5e) with the present interglacial period (MIS 1) using a multidimensional functional diversity analysis: The marine molluscs from Santa Maria Island (Azores Archipelago, central Atlantic) as a case study

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Marine fossil records hold outstanding importance for ecological, evolutionary and biogeographical studies. Santa Maria Island in the Azores Archipelago (central Atlantic) features a remarkable marine fossil record spanning from the Pliocene to recent times.

Managing the meniscus part I—Anatomy, biomechanics, and treatment strategies for the atraumatic meniscus tear

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The purpose of this article is to serve as the first of a two‐part review on the meniscus; in this review, we will establish the background on anatomy and pathogenesis of the meniscus, as well as the effect of the meniscus on native knee kinematics and function.
