Rate formulations in nonlinear continuum mechanics
, 2014 In solving problems of geometrically non-linear structural mechanics, a prominent role is played by formulation of rate equilibrium condi- tions. In the computational machinery the evaluation of the stiffness operator provides the trial incremental ...

Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective
Oikos, EarlyView.The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

A comparison of the expressiveness of SPA and bounded SPN models
, 2001 This paper presents some transformation techniques from bounded SPN systems to corresponding SPA models, preserving concurrency. Initially, a simple algorithm is in-troduced, showing that the obtained SPA models simulate the net systems.

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The role of the cell envelope‐associated Rv0132c/FGD2 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis has long been a subject of debate. Importantly, FGD2 is found only in pathogenic mycobacteria, making it a potential drug target. While some suggest it functions as a glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase, others propose it acts instead as an F420‐dependent ...

Biological InvasionsAbstract The public need to be aware of non-indigenous species (NIS) and how they spread to effectively manage this marine biosecurity risk. In most countries, the management of biosecurity risks associated with recreational boating relies exclusively on vessel owners and marina managers engaging in pro-environmental behaviours. To understand

Knee height is often right: evaluating device height effects on camera trapping rate
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Camera trap deployment height can introduce systematic biases in detection trapping rates across species of different body sizes. Combining 172 paired sampling points in five experiments across Europe, North America and Africa, our results show that low cameras significantly increase detections of small‐ and medium‐sized species, whereas high cameras ...

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Cycles of dieback and recovery drove mangrove forest dynamics at the Albert and Leichhardt Rivers (Gulf of Carpentaria, Queensland, Australia) over 36 years (1987–2023). Landward margins were the most affected by reduced tidal inundation when the alignment of low lunar declination suppressed tidal range and extreme El Niño phases lowered mean sea level.

Safe robot affordance-based grasping and handover for Human-Robot assistive applications [PDF]
A crucial aspect of human-robot collaboration involves the robot's ability to safely perform handovers of objects to be used by the operator. In this study, we introduce two complementary frameworks designed to execute every stage of a robot-to-human ...

Osmotic Remodeling of Extracellular Vesicles for Precision Nanomedicine
Small, EarlyView.Hypotonic lysis in bidistilled water is used to remodel B lymphocyte–derived extracellular vesicles into cargo‐depleted, structurally preserved nanovesicles. The process reduces intraluminal proteins and nucleic acids, reshapes membrane composition, and enhances tumor‐cell uptake in vitro, while allowing proof‐of‐concept reloading with exogenous agents,
