Formation of the quasi-planar B56 boron cluster: topological path from B12 and disk aromaticity
Formation and stability of the B56 boron cluster were investigated using a topological approach and the disk aromaticity model. An extensive global energy minimum search for the B56 system which was carried out by means of the Mexican Enhanced Genetic Algorithm (MEGA) in conjunction with density functional theory computations, confirms a quasi-plan...

The territorial nature of aggression in biofilms
Microbial conflicts have a particularly aggressive nature. In addition to other chemical, mechanical, and biological weapons in their repertoire, bacteria have evolved bacteriocins, which are narrow-spectrum toxins that kill closely related strains. Bacterial cells are known to frequently use their arsenal while competing against each other for nut...
The role of anthropogenic container habitats as mosquito oviposition habitats in rural settlements in northern Tanzania
In many areas, the main sources of mosquito vectors are not natural habitats but small artificial water bodies that are provided unintentionally by humans. Such container habitats have been linked to outbreaks of dengue fever and other arboviral diseases. However, in many parts of the world the possible risks associated with container habitats have...
Depth from blur and grouping under inattention
Previous studies provided evidence in support of attention operating in three-dimensional space, and the iterative and multistage nature of organizational processes in relation to attention and depth. We investigated depth perception and attentional demands in grouping organizations that contain blur as a depth cue. Contrary to previous studies, in...
A Game Theoretic Analysis of the Dual Function of Antibiotics
There are two major views toward the role of antibiotics in microbial social interactions. The classical view is that antibiotics serve as weapons, produced by a bacterial species, at a significant cost, to inhibit the growth of its competitors. This view is supported by observations that antibiotics are usually upregulated by stress responses that...
Charge density waves and Fermi surface reconstruction in the clean overdoped cuprate superconductor Tl2Ba2CuO6+δ
Published in Nature Communications
The origin of the Fermi surface reconstruction that occurs in cuprate superconductors as hole doping increases remains unclear. Here, the authors observe long range charge density wave (CDW) order in the overdoped single-layer cuprate Tl2Ba2CuO6+δ, which then disappears above a hole concentration 0.265, suggesting a correlation between Fermi surfac...
Area-wide survey of thiamethoxam resistance and control failure likelihood in the rice stink bugs Oebalus poecilus and O...
Insecticide resistance survey is an in-situ biomonitoring method to assess potential impact of pesticides that exhibit direct economic consequences when leading to control failure of insect pest species. Nonetheless, the latter phenomenon is frequently neglected. Their spatial dependence and mapping are also seldom considered and when complexes of ...
Airport classification in Chinese multi airport regions : an interaction network perspective between aviation and high s...
The agglomeration of airports into multi-airport regions (MARs) has become one of the salient features of the worldwide air transport system in the last decades. Meanwhile, in China, the development of HSR is growing quickly, and is both competitive to and cooperative with the aviation network. To date some research has focused on the airport class...
