From p-branes to fluxbranes and back [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
In this note we study aspects of the interplay between fluxbranes and p-branes. We describe how a fluxbrane can be physically realized as a limit of a brane-antibrane configuration, in a manner similar to the way a uniform electric field appears in ...

Extending Structured Dialogic Design With Multi‐Criteria Evaluation: Toward Sustainable Multi‐Species Governance

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents an innovative integration of structured democratic dialogue with a multi‐criteria evaluation step designed to strengthen participatory decision‐making for complex socio‐ecological challenges. Conducted virtually with Communities of Practice focused on multi‐species governance, the process combined systemic mapping of ...

P-branes, D-branes and M-branes

open access: yes, 1997
We consider solutions to the string effective action corresponding to p-Branes, D-Branes and M-Branes and discuss some of their properties.

Gauge Theories from D Branes

open access: yes, 2006
In these lectures we start with a pedagogical introduction of the properties of open and closed superstrings and then, using the open/closed string duality, we construct the boundary state that provides the description of the maximally supersymmetric Dp ...

Conflict Social Networks of Critically Endangered Alpine Musk Deer in Captivity and Relationships With Fecal Steroid Hormones 圈养极危物种马麝的冲突社交网络及其与粪便类固醇激素的关联

open access: yesWildlife Letters, EarlyView.
We conducted a grouping study on 52 adult musk deer to investigate whether group sex composition modulates aggressive behavior and stress response in captive musk deer. We found that the conflict interactions of all‐male groups were significantly more than those of mixed groups, and compared with the mixed groups, the conflict interactions of all‐male ...

Innate behaviours shape generalist herbivore host choice and feeding patterns independent of plant defences

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant–herbivore interactions are typically examined through plant defence and herbivore performance, yet individual herbivore behavioural mechanisms underlying these interactions are rarely considered alongside plant traits.

Exploring the potential of using male‐killing endosymbionts to induce female‐biased insect populations for enhanced biomass production

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Overview of the mindset and long‐term goals with the approach suggested in this study. We provide a first proof of concept that male‐killing endosymbionts can be used to establish female biased populations with higher production efficiency than populations with a 50/50 sex ratio. This biological tool can have marked positive impact on future commercial

Strings, branes, and gravity duals of gauge theories [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
We study the correspondence between certain supersymmetric gauge theories and their dual supergravity descriptions. Using low-energy brane probes of the super-gravity geometries we find moduli spaces of vacua, as expected from considering the dual gauge ...

Gut Microbiota Analysis and Comparison in Forest Musk Deer (Moschus berezovskii) of Different Ages and Musk‐Secreting Periods

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Metagenomic sequencing was used to analyze fecal microbiota of captive male forest musk deer (FMD) from the Sichuan Institute of Musk Deer Breeding across ages and musk‐secreting periods. Gut microbiota was generally stable and dominated by Firmicutes, while age and musk secretion shaped microbial composition and function, with musk collection linked ...

B-type D-branes in hybrid models

open access: yesSciPost Physics
A hybrid model is a fibration of a Landau-Ginzburg orbifold over a geometric base. We study B-type D-branes in hybrid models. Imposing B-type supersymmetry on the boundary action, we show that D-branes are specified by matrix factorisations in the fibre ...
