Does nest sanitation elicit egg rejection in an open-cup nesting cuckoo host rejecter?
Avian Research, 2018 Background Nest sanitation behavior is one of the most important means to ensure high reproductive efficiency. In avian brood parasitism, nest sanitation behavior may be a pre-adaptation of host birds that allows them to identify the parasitic eggs, so ...

Mimetic Methods for Lagrangian Relaxation of Magnetic Fields [PDF]
SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing, 2014 We present a new code that performs a relaxation of a magnetic field towards a force-free state (Beltrami field) using a Lagrangian numerical scheme. Beltrami fields are of interest for the dynamics of many technical and astrophysical plasmas as they are the lowest energy states that the magnetic field can reach. The numerical method strictly preserves

Numerical analysis for the pure Neumann control problem using the gradient discretisation method
, 2017 The article discusses the gradient discretisation method (GDM) for distributed optimal control problems governed by diffusion equation with pure Neumann boundary condition. Using the GDM framework enables to develop an analysis that directly applies to a
