Heterochrony of plant meristem: unusual organogenesis of Monophyllaea
We discovered a unique plant meristem that seems to be evolved by neoteny of the shoot apical meristem from studies of one-leaf plant, Monophyllaea.
Prediction of soil temperatures using artificial intelligence
Soil temperatures at various depths of soil are important in changing environments to understand all properties of soil. This is essential in reaching food sustainability. We developed a novel model to predict soil temperature at both surface and 10 cm depth of soil in Nukus, Uzbekistan.
Winning Strategies and Team Collaboration: Revolutionizing Social Science Research Through E-Sports
Analyzing more than 140,000 matches involving over 500,000 players, we find a curvilinear association between behavioral interdependence and team performance moderated by experience. Moreover, we also highlight the potential of e-sports data in advancing behavioral science and management research.
Flattening the load: from flocking birds to reducing peak energy demand in buildings.
How do starling flocks relate to energy use in homes? Can neighbourhoods flatten peaks in demand using simple coordination schemes to help prevent blackouts? A recent paper explores these questions and provides striking answers that could help to design robust and efficient local energy systems.
