Enhanced Red-Black-Tree Data Structure for Facilitating the Scheduling of Reservations [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 This paper details a data structure for managing and scheduling requests for computing resources of clusters and virtualised infrastructure such as private clouds. The data structure uses a red-black tree whose nodes represent the start times and/or completion times of requests.

High extinction risk of the endemic tree flora in a hyper‐diverse region of the Amazon
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.The rapid global loss of biodiversity, especially in the Neotropics, underscores the need to understand how deforestation impacts endemic plant species' extinction risk and conservation status. Due to limited ranges and habitat specialization, endemics are particularly Vulnerable.

Genome evolution in an endangered freshwater mussel [PDF]
arXivNearly neutral theory predicts that evolutionary processes will differ in small populations compared to large populations, a key point of concern for endangered species. The nearly-neutral threshold, the span of neutral variation, and the adaptive potential from new mutations all differ depending on N_e.

Revised Stroemgren metallicity calibration for red giants [PDF]
arXiv, 1999 A new calibration of the Stroemgren (b-y),m_1 diagram in terms of iron abundance of red giants is presented. This calibration is based on a homogeneous sample of giants in the globular clusters omega Centauri, M22, and M55 as well as field giants from the list of Anthony-Twarog & Twarog (1998).

From genes to governance: Engaging citizens in the new genomic techniques policy debate
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Societal Impact Statement The European Union is in the midst of changing the current regulatory framework for new genomic techniques (NGTs) to accelerate the production of plant varieties, in order to achieve the goals of the European Green Deal. These techniques are highly contested, with divergent views on how they should be governed.

Modelling Species Distributions with Deep Learning to Predict Plant Extinction Risk and Assess Climate Change Impacts [PDF]
arXivThe post-2020 global biodiversity framework needs ambitious, research-based targets. Estimating the accelerated extinction risk due to climate change is critical. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) measures the extinction risk of species.
