Abstract Premise Desert plant assemblages in southern California provide an opportunity to link patterns of community structure with climate‐driven vulnerability in a rapidly changing environment. California sustains an exceptionally diverse flora of approximately 4300 plant species, with 31% identified as endemic.

Photoneutron Shielding Design for an 18 MV Saturne 20 Medical Linear Accelerator
Background: Photoneutrons are produced by high energy photons and electrons interaction with various high-Z nuclei of the materials in the linac head components. These neutrons cause a patient to receive an extra absorbed dose.

Phylogenomic insights into the genus Tulipa (Liliaceae): Taxonomy, evolution, and biogeography
Abstract Premise Tulips are one of the best‐known geophytes, but their taxonomy remains convoluted and their evolutionary history poorly understood. Here, we used plastid genomes to identify some issues with current classification, understand the diversification history of the genus, and identify potential species linked to historical cultivation ...

Abstract Mixed evidence for the influence of structural and social factors on adolescent substance use behaviors exists across the rural–urban continuum. Therefore, this study explores how adolescent perceptions of structural and social community risk factors are associated with lifetime and past 30‐day use of alcohol, marijuana, cigarettes, and ...

Development of a Kinetic Monte Carlo Code
A framework for constructing kinetic monte carlo (KMC) simulations of diffusive events on a lattice was developed. This code was then tested by running simulations of Fe adatom diffusion on graphene and graphene-boron nitride surfaces. The results from these simulations was then used to show that the modeled diffusion adheres to the laws of brownian ...

Abstract The ray‐finned fishes include one out of every two species of living vertebrates on Earth and have an abundant fossil record stretching 380 million years into the past. The division of systematic knowledge of ray‐finned fishes between paleontologists working on extinct animals and neontologists studying extant species has obscured the ...
