Impact of Slopes on ICESat-2 Elevation Accuracy Along the CHINARE Route in East Antarctica
As the follow-on study to the assessment of ICESat-2 ice surface elevations, we assessed how they are influenced by the surface slopes, which are derived from the ICESat-2 elevations of the received photons and available in the land-ice surface heights ...

Spatial Simulations of Myxobacterial Development [PDF]
Many bacteria exhibit multicellular behaviour, with individuals within a colony coordinating their actions for communal benefit. One example of complex multicellular phenotypes is myxobacterial fruiting body formation, where thousands of cells aggregate into large three-dimensional structures, within which sporulation occurs.
