The construction and operation of the Three Gorges-Gezhou cascade water conservancy and hydropower projects has dramatically changed downstream water level fluctuations.Remnant populations of Myricaria laxiflora, an aquatic endangered plant, have been severely affected by the regulated water level fluctuations.In this study, the impact of regulated
In the past few years, there has been a growing interest in investigating the search for solitary wave solutions in the realm of nonlinear partial differential equations.This endeavor represents a captivating and challenging area of research.The primary objective of this study is to investigate the nonlinear Zakharov system through a comprehensive
Orientational dependence of the IR absorbing amide bands of silk is demonstrated from two orthogonal longitudinal and transverse microtome slices with a thickness of only ∼100 nm.Scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) which preferentially probes orientation perpendicular to the deroyal finger spring sample’s surface was used.Spat
Tethering a fly for stationary flight allows for exquisite control of its sensory input, such as visual or olfactory stimuli or a punishing infrared laser beam.A torque meter measures the turning attempts of the tethered fly around its vertical body axis.By punishing, say, left turning attempts (in a homogeneous environment), one can train a fly to
