Convective Instability and Boundary Driven Oscillations in a Reaction-Diffusion-Advection Model
In a reaction-diffusion-advection system, with a convectively unstable regime, a perturbation creates a wave train that is advected downstream and eventually leaves the system.

Century‐scale resilience of stored seagrass blue carbon
Abstract Blue carbon sequestration in coastal ecosystems is only relevant to climate change mitigation and carbon offset crediting if the carbon is taken out of circulation for at least a century. Here, we examined sediment cores, up to 2.2 m deep, collected in modern Zostera marina seagrass meadows in Mid‐Atlantic lagoons in Virginia, USA.

Mapping protein–protein interactions by mass spectrometry
Abstract Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) are essential for numerous biological activities, including signal transduction, transcription control, and metabolism. They play a pivotal role in the organization and function of the proteome, and their perturbation is associated with various diseases, such as cancer, neurodegeneration, and infectious ...

Slime mould computes planar shapes [PDF]
Computing a polygon defining a set of planar points is a classical problem of modern computational geometry. In laboratory experiments we demonstrate that a concave hull, a connected alpha-shape without holes, of a finite planar set is approximated by ...

ABSTRACT This study proposes a semi‐analytical guidance strategy for gliding vehicles by integrating proportional navigation (PN) with sparse waypoint optimization to maximize terminal velocity. Utilizing the analytical solution of PN with a navigation constant of three, the original optimal control problem is transformed into a low‐dimensional ...

Content and action: The guidance theory of representation [PDF]
The current essay introduces the guidance theory of representation, according to which the content and intentionality of representations can be accounted for in terms of the way they provide guidance for action. We offer a brief account of the biological

Graphene Nanoplatelets (GNP) as a Functional Filler for Styrene‐Butadiene Rubber (SBR)
Spider chart showing the change in selected properties on inclusion of GNP in SBR relative to carbon black (CB) filled SBR. ABSTRACT The carbon footprint of synthetic rubber is poor, including its production and the use of carbon black as a filler, which is obtained from non‐renewable feedstocks.

ABSTRACT This study examines the comparative effects of immediate and delayed feedback on the engagement and willingness to participate in collaborative learning of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. Ninety EFL students at Guangxi University participated in a quasi‐experimental study across three conditions: no feedback, immediate feedback ...

Will a Fish's Perspective Improve the Ecological Relevance of River Connectivity Metrics?
ABSTRACT Structural indices of aquatic connectivity typically focus on the spatial arrangement of barriers to fish movement. Here, we describe a method that adapts the widely applied structural Dendritic Connectivity Index (DCI) into a functional index (DCIF) that constrains connectivity measurements to biologically relevant scales (e.g., based on fish
