Most modern large-scale multi-agent systems operate by taking actions based on local data and cooperate by exchanging information over communication networks.Due to the abundance of sensors, each agent is capable of generating more data than what could be supported by communication channels in near real-time.Thus, not every piece of information can
Biocrust communities are often heterogeneous and affected by small-scale environmental features, including both physical and biotic factors.The presence of moss in biocrusts, for Cooktop Hotplate Seal example, is likely to create a set of physical conditions distinct from those found in microbial biocrusts that lack mosses.Similarly, hypolithic org
Successive lettuce cultivation in closed Buffet hydroponics using the same nutrient solution causes the excess production and accumulation of allelochemicals.The accumulated allelochemicals induce oxidative damage and lipid peroxidation in plants leading to growth inhibition.In this study, we investigated the allelochemicals that induced oxidative
How intracellular transport controls the probability that cargos switch at intersections between filaments is not well understood.In one hypothesis some motors on the cargo attach to one filament while others attach to the intersecting filament, and the ensuing tug-of-war determines which filament is chosen.We investigate this hypothesis using 3D c
