Kinematic dynamo action in a sphere. I. Effects of differential rotation and meridional circulation on solutions with axial dipole symmetry [PDF]
, 2000 A sphere containing electrically conducting fluid can generate a magnetic field by dynamo action, provided the flow is sufficiently complicated and vigorous. The dynamo mechanism is thought to sustain magnetic fields in planets and stars.

Deciphering Small Molecule Diffusion Parameters Across Light Responsive Polymersome Membranes
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Light‐responsive polymersomes bearing donor–acceptor Stenhouse adducts (DASAs) enable programmable control over small‐molecule transport across synthetic membranes. By systematically varying DASA density, an optimal functionalization regime is identified that maximizes light‐gated permeability.

Verhuellia is a segregate lineage in Piperaceae: more evidence from flower, fruit and pollen morphology, anatomy and development [PDF]
, 2010 Background and Aims The perianthless Piperales, i.e. Saururaceae and Piperaceae, have simple reduced flowers strikingly different from the other families of the order (e.g. Aristolochiaceae).

Mechanoregulatory Effects of Cell‐Scale Microwells on Epithelial Cell Phenotype
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.In small polycaprolactone microwells, A549 epithelial cells span well edges, in contrast to cells growing on flat substrates. Focal adhesion sites (yellow) concentrate at topographic boundaries, while cytoskeletal tension (magenta stress fibers) is transmitted to the nucleus (blue), reducing nuclear sphericity.

Fractal analysis of leaves: are all leaves self-similar along the cane?
Ekológia (Bratislava), 2013 The fractal dimension can be used to quantify the shape of a natural curve. Curves with similar degrees of irregularity will tend to have the same fractal dimension.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Bioprosthetic aortic valves have revolutionized the treatment of aortic stenosis, but their durability is limited by structural valve deterioration (SVD). This review focuses on the pericardial tissue at the heart of these valves, examining how its mechanical properties and calcification drive fatigue and failure.

Leaf architecture and symmetry of understory tree species of an Araucaria forest
Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2018 Shade plants of ombrophilous forests are subjected to light-limiting conditions and need to invest in architectural structures associated with leaf symmetry to increase light capture.

Environmental differences between sites control the diet and nutrition of the carnivorous plant Drosera rotundifolia [PDF]
, 2018 Background and aims: Carnivorous plants are sensitive to small changes in resource availability, but few previous studies have examined how differences in nutrient and prey availability affect investment in and the benefit of carnivory.
