ABSTRACT Police patrol units need to split their time between performing preventive patrol and being dispatched to serve emergency incidents. In the existing literature, patrol and dispatch decisions are often studied separately. We consider joint optimization of these two decisions to improve police operations efficiency and reduce response time to ...

Novelties in Dimerostemma (Asteraceae, Heliantheae) from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Revisiting the Dimerostemma collection in Rio Grande do Sul, the southernmost state of Brazil, one new species of Dimerostemma is described and another is resurrected. Although previously synonymized under Dimerostemma arnottii, Dimerostemma oppositifolium is here resurrected based on its distinct opposite leaves, linear to lanceolate leaf limbs, and ...

Innovations in polysaccharide‐based hydrogels in sustainable agriculture

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Polysaccharide‐based hydrogels are promising in sustainable agriculture, as these natural polymers have the ability to absorb water and nutrients and release them gradually in the soil, in addition to ensuring biodegradability and lower cost. However, some challenges still need to be overcome.

The pistil as a traffic light: Yellow‐to‐red color change likely influences pollinator visitation patterns in Saxifraga fortunei (Saxifragaceae)

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Flowers can communicate reproductive status to pollinators through visual cues. In Saxifraga fortunei, pistils often changed from yellow to red after pollination, and hoverflies and honeybees preferentially visited flowers with yellow pistils. This pattern suggests that a post‐pollination color shift confined to the pistil can reduce revisits to ...

A Scalable Large Language Model‐Aided Approach for Mining Plant‐Compound Pairs From Scientific Literature

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding plant chemicals is vital for medicine and agriculture, but global data remain fragmented and biased. We developed an AI‐powered tool to automatically extract plant‐compound information from scientific literature at scale and low cost. Our analysis revealed significant knowledge gaps, particularly in the Southern Hemisphere. By efficiently
