Simulation of Morphogen and Tissue Dynamics
Morphogenesis, the process by which an adult organism emerges from a single cell, has fascinated humans for a long time. Modeling this process can...

A New Spectral Approach on Steady-State Concentration of Species in Porous Catalysts Using Wavelets
In this paper, a mathematical model of steady-state reaction–diffusion (RD) model for estimating the concentration of species is discussed. We have...

An Efficient Legendre Wavelet-Based Approximation Method for a Few Newell–Whitehead and Allen–Cahn Equations
In this paper, a wavelet-based approximation method is introduced for solving the Newell–Whitehead (NW) and Allen–Cahn (AC) equations. To the best of...

Deforestation in the Tropics
The model of forest transition from Chap. 2 is operational both ex ante for deforestation modeling and ex post reforestation modeling. Equally, it...

Water tension thresholds for processing tomatoes under drip irrigation in Central Brazil
Drip irrigation has the potential to save water and mitigate foliar diseases for processing tomato production in Central Brazil. Four experiments...

Detection without deflection? A hypothesis for direct sensing of sound pressure by hair cells
It is widely thought that organisms detect sound by sensing the deflection of hair-like projections, the stereocilia, at the apex of hair cells. In...

Architectural Tradeoffs between Adventitious and Basal Roots for Phosphorus Acquisition
Adventitious rooting contributes to efficient phosphorus acquisition by enhancing topsoil foraging. However, metabolic investment in adventitious...

Cobblestone area measuring (CAM) assay: a new way of assessing the potential of human haemopoietic stem cells
A new in vitro way of scoring the potential (proliferative- differentiative) of human haemopoietic stem cells (HHSC) is presented. We have applied it...

Water and nitrogen dynamics in rotational woodlots of five tree species in western Tanzania
The objective of this study was to compare the effects of woodlots of five tree species, continuous maize ( Zea mays L.) and natural fallow on soil...

Sound Detection Mechanisms and Capabilities of Teleost Fishes
This chapter, written from the perspective of four authors who have been studying fish bioacoustics for over 120 years (cumulative!), examines the...

Cultivation of Marine Sponges
There is increasing interest in biotechnological production of marine sponge biomass owing to the discovery of many commercially important secondary...

Development of predator defences in fishes
A variety of development characteristics, morphological, behavioural, and experiential, contribute to the extreme vulnerability of young fishes to...

Cytoplasmic origin and surface deposition of siliceous structures in Sarcodina
Siliceous products, deposited at the cell surface of amoeboid protists, include a wide variety of species-specific structures; i.e., spicules,...

Spatial variability in the nutrient composition of Populus tremuloides: clone-to-clone differences and implications for cervids
Populus tremuloides , a clonal angiosperm, is a major food item for many temperate-region herbivores. Clonal variation in chemical composition has...

Carbohydrate reserves, radial growth, and mechanisms of resistance of oak trees to phloem-boring insects
The twolined chestnut borer, Agrilus bilineatus (Weber) (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), attacks oaks ( Quercus spp.) that have been weakened by prior...
