The response of the magnetopause surface to time-varying solar wind dynamic pressure is examined.We argue that to a first approximation the magnetopause surface may be considered as analogous to an elastic membrane.Upon displacement from equilibrium resulting from Doll a change in applied external pressure, it moves to a new equilibrium under the e
Abstract We revisit the relation between the anomalies in four and six dimensions and the Chern-Simons couplings one dimension below.While the dimensional reduction of chiral theories is well-understood, the question which three and five-dimensional theories can LAVENDER come from a general circle reduction, and are hence liftable, is more subtle.W
Imidacloprid, a neonicotinoid pesticide widely used for insect pest control, has become a potential pollutant to pollinators.Previous reports have demonstrated the toxicity of this drug in activating oxidative stress resulting in high mortality in the honey bee Apis mellifera.However, the mechanisms underlying the toxicity of imidacloprid have not
Developing a deeper understanding of how plants respond to urbanization in urban remnant forests can enhance biodiversity conservation efforts.This study investigated woody plants in 120 sample plots located in 15 remnant patches and explored the impacts of spatiotemporal urban expansion on niche indicators and CSR (Competitive, Stress-tolerant, Ru
Over the past decades, the Southern Governments have sought to make innovation a key issue in their policy agenda as a catalyst toward sustainable development.Many southern countries realised that innovation with the use of science and technology had a vast potential in the economic transformation of a nation and as means to economic growth.In form
