Cloud Inspired White and Grey Plasmonic Metasurfaces for Camouflaged Thermal Management
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Inspired by clouds' role in Earth's thermal management, this work presents disordered plasmonic metasurfaces that mimic their radiative effects. The white metasurface enhances backscattering, acting as a cooling layer with camouflage properties.

Herbivore identity mediates the strength of trophic cascades on individual plants
Ecosphere, 2013 The strength of top‐down indirect effects of carnivores on plants (trophic cascades) varies greatly and may depend on the identity of the intermediate (herbivore) species.

Predator-prey cycles from resonant amplification of demographic stochasticity
, 2005 In this paper we present the simplest individual level model of predator-prey dynamics and show, via direct calculation, that it exhibits cycling behavior.

Preferential Membrane Remodeling on Curved Biointerfaces Induced by Conjugated Oligoelectrolyte
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.This study explores how membrane shape influences the interaction of conjugated oligoelectrolytes (COEs) with lipid bilayers. Using a curved biointerface composed of nanobar arrays and supported lipid bilayers, it is revealed that COE intercalation preferentially remodels curved regions, forming distinct structures. These findings highlight the role of

Toward Smart Moving Target Defense for Linux Container Resiliency
, 2016 This paper presents ESCAPE, an informed moving target defense mechanism for cloud containers. ESCAPE models the interaction between attackers and their target containers as a "predator searching for a prey" search game. Live migration of Linux-containers

Unraveling the Nanoscale Structure of Organic–Inorganic Hybrid Materials
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.A Si‐wafer‐based NPs@SILP system facilitates detailed characterization of spatial structure and interactions between ionic liquid molecules and nanoparticles. The approach yields a uniform ionic liquid monolayer decorated with evenly distributed Ru nanoparticles, showing particle deposition disturbs the SILP's conformational order.

Leopard density and determinants of space use in a farming landscape in South Africa
Scientific ReportsProtected areas are traditionally the foundation of conservation strategy, but land not formally protected is of particular importance for the conservation of large carnivores because of their typically wide-ranging nature.

A minimal model of predator-swarm interactions [PDF]
Journal of the Royal Society Interface 11:20131208 (2014), 2014 We propose a minimal model of predator-swarm interactions which captures many of the essential dynamics observed in nature. Different outcomes are observed depending on the predator strength. For a "weak" predator, the swarm is able to escape the predator completely.

Predator-free space, functional responses and biological invasions
, 2015 Summary 1. Predator–prey interactions are mediated by the structural complexity of habitats, but disentangling the many facets of structure that contribute to this mediation remains elusive.
