Petrosyan, Rafayel, Narayan, Abhishek, Woodside, Michael T
The use of force probes to induce unfolding and refolding of single molecules through the application of mechanical tension, known as single-molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS), has proven to be a powerful tool for studying the dynamics of protein folding. Here we provide an overview of what has...

Single-nucleotide polymorphism discovery in Leptographium longiclavatum, a mountain pine beetle-associated symbiotic fungus, using whole-genome resequencing
Download2014-01-01
Ojeda, Dario I., Dhillon, Braham, Tsui, Clement K. M., Hamelin, Richard C.
Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are rapidly becoming the standard markers in population genomics studies; however, their use in nonmodel organisms is limited due to the lack of cost-effective approaches to uncover genome-wide variation, and the large number of individuals needed in the...

Size DependencyIn this study, uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of limestone rocks was estimated by indentation testing on small rock fragments. Here, the effects of rock fragment dimensions (particularly area and thickness) on indentation indices were studied. The investigation shows size...

Smeared Modeling of Hydraulic Fracture Using Partially Coupled Reservoir and Geomechanics Simulators
Download2019-01-01
Morteza Roostaei, Siavash Taghipoor, Alireza Nouri, Vahidoddin Fattahpour, Dave Chan
There are aspects of the hydraulic fracturing process that remain unresolved for weakly consolidated sandstones. These issues include fracture modes and geometries for weak sandstones, and higher-than-expected fracture pressure in some field projects. The development of shear bands and the...

Social vulnerability and climate change adaptation: The critical importance of moving beyond technocratic policy approaches
Download2021-10-01
Kehler, Sarah, Birchall, S. Jeff
Planning policy can play a key role in effective, equitable climate change adaptation; however, its capacity remains undermined by technocratic approaches reliant on hard measures, discounting significant research on addressing sources of social vulnerability for successful adaptation policy. Not...

Some insights into a sequential resource allocation mechanism for en route air traffic management
Download2019-11-12
This paper presents a game theoretic model of a sequential capacity allocation process in a congestible transportation system. In this particular application, we investigate the governing principles at work in how airlines will time their requests for en route resources under capacity shortfalls...

Shegelski, Victor A., Campbell, Erin O., Thompson, Kirsten M., Whitehouse, Caroline M., Sperling, Felix A. H.
The mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is a significant destructive force in the pine forests of western Canada and has the capacity to spread east into a novel host tree species, jack pine (Pinaceae). New populations have been documented in central...

Spatial characteristics of volatile communication in lodgepole pine trees: Evidence of kin recognition and intra-species support
Download2019-11-01
Hussain, Altaf, Rodriquez-Ramos, Jean C., Erbilgin, Nadir
Plant interactions using volatile organic compounds, particularly in the context of kin recognition have received considerable attention in recent years, but several discrepancies and conflicting results have restricted our understanding. We propose that some of these discrepancies in literature...

Memory is critical to understanding animal movement but has proven challenging to study. Advances in animal tracking technology, theoretical movement models and cognitive sciences have facilitated research in each of these fields, but also created a need for synthetic examination of the linkages...

Mathematical models of spatial population dynamics typically focus on the interplay between dispersal events and birth/death processes. However, for many animal communities, significant arrangement in space can occur on shorter timescales, where births and deaths are negligible. This phenomenon...
