Existence and non-existence of half-geodesics on S2
, 2016 In this paper we study half-geodesics, those closed geodesics that minimize on any subinterval of length l(γ)/2. For each nonnegative integer n, we construct Riemannian manifolds diffeomorphic to S2 admitting exactly n half-geodesics.

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Swelling of clay‐sulfate rocks is a concern in geotechnical engineering that can damage infrastructure. In the historic town of Staufen in southwest Germany, geothermal drilling into a swellable anhydrite‐bearing clay formation resulted in water inflow and subsequent swelling, triggering ground heave and damage to more than 250 houses.

Oikos, EarlyView.Climatic conditions shape phenotypic evolution by driving adaptations that optimise organismal function. Invasive species provide valuable systems to study these processes, as they often encounter novel climatic conditions in their introduced ranges. The European rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus, native to the Iberian Peninsula, has established populations

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Depictions of rewilded landscapes reveal the underlying principles shaping the future of rewilding. This paper analyses a virtual reality (VR) model of a rewilding project in the Scottish Highlands that is advertised as a vision of a rewilded nature in 50 to 100 years' time.

Main‐chain polyfullerenes: Taking fullerene to the next dimension
Polymer International, EarlyView.This short review appraises main‐chain polyfullerenes. Their slow development over 30 years has suddenly boomed with a rapid growth due to exciting developments in solar energy. Abstract This mini‐review gives an overview of the development, chemistry, properties and applications of main‐chain polyfullerenes.

The Long Trajectory of Rubber Physics: 3500+ Years and Counting
Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.Natural rubber's trajectory is traced from Mesoamerican use of Castilla elastica through vulcanization and the pneumatic tire to macromolecular physics and modern solid‐state refrigeration. Illustrations of C. elastica and an H. brasiliensis plantation frame the historical progression from indigenous material, then industrial crop and on to advanced ...

Geodesics in Margulis spacetimes
, 2011 Let M³ be a Margulis spacetime whose associated complete hyperbolic surface 62 has a compact convex core. Generalizing the correspondence between closed geodesics on M³ and closed geodesics on 62, we establish an orbit equivalence between recurrent ...
