24 million years of pollination interaction between European linden flowers and bumble bees
Summary Pollination is the most common insect–plant mutualism, binding them in a co‐evolutionary framework. Historic evidence of this interaction can be partly inferred from time‐calibrated molecular phylogenies of plant and insect lineages or directly from fossils.

Effect of Temperature and Catalyst Concentration on Polyglycerol during Synthesis
Morphology, molecular weight, polydispersity, functionality, and thermal properties are important characteristics when using polyglycerol as a building block in the development of materials for industrial applications such as hydrogels, surfactants, asphalts additives, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, biomedical, and drug delivery systems.

An Iterative Approach for the Optimization of Pavement Maintenance Management at the Network Level
Pavement maintenance is one of the major issues of public agencies. Insufficient investment or inefficient maintenance strategies lead to high economic expenses in the long term. Under budgetary restrictions, the optimal allocation of resources becomes a crucial aspect.

Summary The superior productivity of C4 plants is achieved via a metabolic C4 cycle which acts as a CO2 pump across mesophyll and bundle sheath (BS) cells and requires an additional input of energy in the form of ATP. The importance of chloroplast NADH dehydrogenase‐like complex (NDH) operating cyclic electron flow (CEF) around Photosystem I (PSI) for ...

Modelo de evaluación técnica del desempeño del mantenimiento de pavimentos flexibles [PDF]
En la gestion de pavimentos es importante evaluar el desempeno de las estrategias de mantenimiento. Esta se realiza mediante modelos tales como HDM-4 a nivel de red. Sin embargo, no siempre se cuenta con calibraciones a nivel de proyecto que permitan precisar los planes de mantenimiento.

Decoupling cell size homeostasis in diatoms from the geometrical constraints of the silica cell wall
Summary Unicellular organisms are known to exert tight control over their cell size. In the case of diatoms, abundant eukaryotic microalgae, two opposing notions are widely accepted. On the one hand, the rigid silica cell wall that forms inside the parental cell is thought to enforce geometrical reduction of the cell size.
