Abstract Hydrogels of natural, synthetic and hybrid origin are used in various food applications in modern days. Among them, natural polymer‐based hydrogels are becoming increasingly popular in the food industry owing to their structural diversity, biocompatibility, affordability, biodegradability and non‐toxicity compared to their synthetic ...

Myxomycetes of the Lipówka reserve in the Niepołomice Old Growth Forest (S Poland)
Fifty eight species and three varieties of slime moulds were collected in the Lipówka reserve in 1999 and 2001. Thirty taxa of slime moulds very rare and rare in Poland were recorded in the reserve, including: Arcyria minuta, A.

Commodity risk assessment of Alnus cordata, Alnus glutinosa and Alnus incana plants from the UK
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to prepare and deliver risk assessments for commodities listed in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2019 as ‘high‐risk plants, plant products and other objects’. Taking into account the available scientific information, including the technical information provided by ...

Myxomycetes associated with Cactaceae in sub-humid (agreste) and semi-arid (sertão) regions of Pernambuco, Brazil [PDF]
Studies that indicate the presence of Myxomycetes in arid and semi-arid regions of the planet have revealed new taxons and high species diversity. In those environments, the Myxomycetes occupy special microhabitats like those offered by succulent plants.

Using transition systems to describe and predict the behaviour of structured excitable media
I show how transition systems can be applied to the naturally concurrent behaviour of excitable media. I consider structured excitable media, in which excitations are constrained to propagate only in defined narrow channels, and cannot propagate ...

Advances in Aureobasidium research: Paving the path to industrial utilization
The extremotolerant fungus Aureobasidium chassis can utilize a broad spectrum of substrates to synthesize value‐added products including pullulan, polyol lipids, polymalate, and melanin. We furthermore describe available genetic engineering tools and up‐scaling approaches.

P-bRS: A Physarum-Based Routing Scheme for Wireless Sensor Networks
Routing in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is an extremely challenging issue due to the features of WSNs. Inspired by the large and single-celled amoeboid organism, slime mold Physarum polycephalum, we establish a novel selecting next hop model (SNH ...
