What in the World Are 4D Shapes?
Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT It is often said that in special relativity, 4D shapes can be used to explain 3D shape projections onto frames of reference. Perdurantists have frequently used this as a motivation for their view of persistence. Despite this, philosophers never clearly state what 4D shapes are.

Functional magnetic resonance microscopy of long- and short-distance water transport in trees [PDF]
, 2009 Due to their long life span, changing climatic conditions are of particular importance for trees. Climate changes will affect the water balance, which can become an important limiting factor for photosynthesis and growth. Long-distance water transport in

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Cuscuta reflexa infection sites. Summary Cuscuta species are holoparasitic plants that penetrate host stems with haustoria, connect to the vasculature and exhaust water, nutrients and carbohydrates. Parasite seedlings possess only limited maternal reserves and the development of a vascular connection takes several days.

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Pistacia lentiscus L. tree is known for its aromatic mastic gum containing terpenes α‐pinene and β‐myrcene, and has been applied as a traditional remedy in oral care for centuries. Previously, intranasal exposure to mastic resin volatiles increased salivary flow in healthy and dry‐mouth individuals. This study assessed the biological

Toxic utopia: Unseen ideology and “Le Politique” in China Miéville's The City & The City
Orbis Litterarum, EarlyView.Abstract What if ideology were not just hidden—but aesthetic? This article reads China Miéville's The City & The City not as a metaphor for division, but as a speculative blueprint for how politics operates through enforced invisibility. By threading Derrida's Absolute Other and Rancière's le politique through Miéville's uncanny urban layering, we ...

De‐Coupled Water and Nitrogen Translocation From Subsoil to Canopy of Temperate Forest Trees
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Water and nitrogen (N) transport from soil to canopy play a central role in tree functioning, yet direct evidence for their timing and coupling in mature forests remains scarce. We report results from a paired dual‐isotope (2H, 15N) tracer experiment in a temperate forest, comparing water and nitrate uptake patterns across tree species ...

Effects of Atmospheric CO2 Levels on the Susceptibility of Maize to Diverse Pathogens
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rising atmospheric CO2 has significant implications for crop productivity and food security. Based on studies in C3 plants, elevated CO2 (eCO2) can shape plant‐pathogen interactions, although the outcomes are often variable. The question of how eCO2 influences immunity and disease development in C4 plants, such as the globally important cereal

Gas Flow Velocity of the Direct Gas Puff [PDF]
, 2003 Gas flow velocity of a piezo-valve used in the Large Helical Device has been measured in a test chamber of 3.6 m long. Various gasses of hydrogen, helium, methane, neon, nitrogen and argon are used in the experiment. In the direct gas puff configuration,
