Climate change and perennial crop production: Evidence of yield impact and adaptation in California

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Perennial crops are economically important. They contribute to food security, providing essential nutrients that are often lacking in annual crops, and provide additional environmental benefits compared with annual crops. Despite their importance, empirical research on the impacts of climate change and adaptation on perennial crops remains ...

Involutory biquandles and singular knots and links

open access: yesOpen Mathematics, 2018
We define a new algebraic structure for singular knots and links. It extends the notion of a bikei (or involutory biquandle) from regular knots and links to singular knots and links. We call this structure a singbikei.

Knotting of optical vortices

open access: yes, 2010
Optical vortices form three-dimensional lines of darkness in scalar light. They are places where the phase becomes undefined and hence singular in value.

Alzheimer's Disease Co‐Pathology and Cognitive Impairment in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objectives Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) share neuropathological features, including tau, amyloid, and TDP‐43 pathology. This study investigated whether AD‐related pathological changes are associated with cognitive impairment ALS. Methods Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF total‐tau, phosphorylated‐tau, beta‐amyloid) and plasma

Approximating ideal shapes with tight elements

open access: yes, 2005
A variational approach is applied to the problem of finding the shortest curves in space separated by constant distance. Among particular extremal solutions are straight line, circular arc and double helix. Various knots and links may be assembled from

Experimental Study on Axial Compressive Behavior of the BFRP-Confined Timber Columns with and Without Knots

open access: yesBuildings
Timber has gained popularity in the construction industry in recent years due to its low carbon footprint, favorable seismic performance, and esthetic appeal.

Composite Knots Obtained by Twisting Torus Knots

open access: yes, 2017
A twisted torus knot is obtained from a torus knot by performing full twists on some adjacent strands of the torus knot. Morimoto constructed infinitely many twisted torus knots which are composite knots and he conjectured that his knots are all of ...

Cover

open access: yes, 2016
The cover image for Knots Issue #2 was painted by Aysha Natsheh. The Front cover of the journal is set on a pale blue watercolour background, with a brown hand emerges from the top of the page. The hand\u27s fingers are curled slightly towards the right.

A New Paradigm for Understanding the Rheology and Processability of Poly(p‐Phenylene Terephthalamide) Liquid‐Crystalline Solutions

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Kevlar is traditionally modeled as a rigid‐rod polymer, yet rheological behavior deviates from this assumption. The review introduces a novel “twist‐tie” entanglement theory for aramid polymer chains in the nematic liquid crystal state, providing a molecular explanation for deviations from rigid‐rod models. Understanding twist‐tie entanglement dynamics
