A Formal Theory of Robert Nozick's Framework for Utopia
ABSTRACT This paper offers the very first formal model of Robert Nozick's model of possible worlds and his vision of a utopian society, as outlined in Part III of Anarchy, State, and Utopia. Nozick envisioned utopia as a meta‐utopia—a collection of self‐organized, voluntary sub‐communities—arguing that such an institutional framework is equivalent to ...

Shaping future forests: how can ecophysiology support climate‐smart forest management?
Summary Climate change, particularly the associated increase in extreme events and disturbances, threatens the numerous environmental, social, and economic benefits that forests provide, both locally and globally. Heat and drought pose significant risks to forest ecosystems; the anticipated future climate is expected to exacerbate this trend ...

Summary Deciphering the root exudate‐driven interplay between plants and the rhizosphere microbiota is essential for understanding plant adaptation to the environment and future‐proofing crop production. However, sampling root exudates and rhizosphere soil remains challenging due to the low throughput and destructive nature of the process.

Summary Jasmonates (JAs)‐mediated pathways are central signaling hubs in plant defense responses. However, the identification of mobile and nonmobile signals involved in downstream systemic signaling is still less studied. Here, we investigate the role of the jasmonic acid‐isoleucine (JA‐Ile) conjugating enzyme, JAR1, in shifting wound‐induced local ...

The Natural Components of a Regular Linear System
ABSTRACT The analysis of a finite‐dimensional regular linear system may be simplified by separating the system into its natural components. The natural components are smaller linear systems on separate subspaces whose dimensions sum to the dimension of the original linear system.
