Incorporating soil biological and functional attributes to advance ecological restoration
Earth is currently experiencing a mass extinction crisis, predominantly driven by anthropogenic activities, with land use change causing widespread loss and degradation of native ecosystems and indigenous species. There is an urgent need to halt this trend and restore degraded habitat to preserve biodiversity and protect threatened plants and animals ...

The Rayleigh-Ritz method still competitive
Following his earlier work [Numer. Math. 54, 639-654 (1989; Zbl 0645.65027)], the author considers the computation of two-sided bounds for the eigenvalues of the one-dimensional Schrödinger operator with various potentials, using a finite element method with high-order B- splines.

ABSTRACT Queer undergraduates describe a climate in STEM fields and classrooms that is both hostile to and silent on queer identities, leading to experiences of social exclusion, devaluation as a scientist, and discrimination. In the few studies that have specifically focused on trans and non‐binary undergraduates (i.e., students with queer genders ...

Fault Volume Digital Twin to Reproduce the Full Slip Spectrum, Scaling, and Statistical Laws
Abstract Seismological and geodetic observations of fault zones reveal diverse slip dynamics, scaling, and statistical laws. Existing mechanisms explain some but not all of these behaviors. We show that incorporating an off‐fault damage zone—characterized by distributed fractures surrounding a main fault—can reproduce many key features observed in ...

Structural-Thermal-Optical Program (STOP) [PDF]
A structural thermal optical computer program is developed which uses a finite element approach and applies the Ritz method for solving heat transfer problems. Temperatures are represented at the vertices of each element and the displacements which yield

Genetic Variation in Chemical Defence Affects Protection of an Herbivorous Insect Against Predation
ABSTRACT Genetic variation contributes to intraspecific differences in the chemical defence in many insect species, yet the underlying genetic mechanisms remain poorly understood. The horseradish flea beetle, Phyllotreta armoraciae, sequesters glucosinolates from its horseradish host plant and activates them using endogenous myrosinase enzymes.
