The spread of non‐native species

open access: yesBiological 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.

Path Planning of Autonomous Mobile Robots Based on an Improved Slime Mould Algorithm

open access: yesDrones, 2023
Path planning is a crucial component of autonomous mobile robot (AMR) systems. The slime mould algorithm (SMA), as one of the most popular path-planning approaches, shows excellent performance in the AMR field. Despite its advantages, there is still room

Sentience in cephalopod molluscs: an updated assessment

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article evaluates the evidence for sentience – the capacity to have feelings – in cephalopod molluscs: octopus, cuttlefish, squid, and nautilus. Our framework includes eight criteria, covering both whether the animal's nervous system could support sentience and whether their behaviour indicates sentience.

The ageing holobiont: crosstalk between telomere dynamics, oxidative stress and the gut microbiome

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The gut tissue is at the frontline of early onset of ageing. It exhibits high cell turnover rates and rapid telomere shortening, which can have systemic effects on the developing or senescing organism. We conducted a literature review of studies on the crosstalk between telomere length dynamics, telomerase activity, oxidative stress, and gut ...

Physicists, stamp collectors, human mobility forecasters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
One of the two reviewers studied in high school to be a physicist. In the end, he became something else, but he never lost his awe of physics. The other reviewer never intended to become a physicist, but he sometimes asks himself why he didn’t become one.

Levy Flight of Photoexcited Minority Carriers in Moderately Doped Semiconductors: Theory and Observation

open access: yes, 2012
Spatial spread of minority carriers produced by optical excitation in semiconductors is usually well described by a diffusion equation. The classical diffusion process can be viewed as a result of a random walk of particles in which every step has the ...

Scaling collapse and structure functions: identifying self-affinity in finite length time series [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Empirical determination of the scaling properties and exponents of time series presents a formidable challenge in testing, and developing, a theoretical understanding of turbulence and other out-of-equilibrium phenomena.

Probabilistic Multi‐Objective Energy Management System Model for an Energy Hub With PtG Technology for Cost Reduction and System Flexibility Improvement

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Overview of the under‐study hub energy model showing the energy conversion and distribution among integrated sources and loads. ABSTRACT In this paper, a probabilistic bi‐objective energy management system (EMS) model is proposed for an energy hub (EH) equipped with renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic and wind turbine connected to the main ...
