THE GENERAL BIOLOGY COURSE AND THE TEACHING OF ELEMENTARY BOTANY AND ZOOLOGY IN AMERICAN COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES. [PDF]
THE general biology, or elementary biology, course originated with Huxley about fifty years ago and was introduced into this country by the physiologist. H. Newall Martin. one of Huxley's earlier students.

Zoology of Graviton non-Gaussianities [PDF]
We characterize graviton non-Gaussianities in models of inflation where de Sitter boosts are spontaneously broken. We discuss which of the symmetry breaking patterns studied in Nicolis et al., 2015 can sustain a period of quasi de Sitter expansion, and show that the symmetry breaking pattern of Solid Inflation allows the most freedom for graviton ...

Self-healing of structured light: a review [PDF]
Self-healing of light refers to the ability of a light field to recover its structure after being damaged by a partial obstruction placed in its propagation path. Here, we will give a comprehensive review of the history and development of self-healing effects, especially highlighting its importance in vector vortex beams carrying spin and orbital ...

A framework to evaluate whether to pool or separate behaviors in a multilayer network [PDF]
A multilayer network approach combines different network layers, which are connected by interlayer edges, to create a single mathematical object. These networks can contain a variety of information types and represent different aspects of a system. However, the process for selecting which information to include is not always straightforward. Using data

Meta-dynamical adaptive systems and their applications to a fractal algorithm and a biological model [PDF]
In this article, one defines two models of adaptive systems: the meta-dynamical adaptive system using the notion of Kalman dynamical systems and the adaptive differential equations using the notion of variable dimension spaces. This concept of variable dimension spaces relates the notion of spaces to the notion of dimensions.

Cylinder morphology of a stretched and twisted ribbon [PDF]
A rich zoology of shapes emerges from a simple stretched and twisted elastic ribbon. Despite a lot of interest, all these shape are not understood, in particular the shape that prevails at large tension and twist and that emerges from a transverse instability of the helicoid. Here, we propose a simple description for this cylindrical shape.

Penguin Zoology in $B\toππ$ and the Extraction of the CKM Angle $α$ [PDF]
We reanalyze the decay $B_d\to\pi^+\pi^-$ without assuming dominance of QCD penguins with internal top-quark exchanges. In that case the weak phase of the $\bar b \to\bar d$ QCD penguin amplitude is not related in a simple way to the CKM angle $\beta$. Nevertheless it is still possible to extract the CKM angle $\alpha$ in a transparent and almost model-

Zoology of heterotic supercurrent supermultiplets in d=2 [PDF]
We present various (0,2) heterotic supercurrent supermultiplets in (1+1) dimensional quantum field theories. From the minimal supercurrent supermultiplets, we deduce conditions on symmetry enhancement such as Lorentz invariance, (chiral) dilatation invariance, R-invariance, (chiral) conformal invariance and their various combinations.
