All Wrapped up in Kudzu & Other Ecological Disasters

Social-ecological resilience to coastal disasters.

Social and ecological vulnerability to disasters and outcomes of any particular extreme event are influenced by buildup or erosion of resilience both before and after disasters occur. Resilient social-ecological systems incorporate diverse mechanisms for living with, and learning from, change and unexpected shocks. Disaster management requires multilevel governance systems that can enhance the ...

Myelin: Keeping nerves well wrapped up

The recently determined structure of protein zero, P0, the most abundant peripheral nerve myelin protein, provides new insights into the molecular structure of myelin and potential disease mechanisms in hereditary peripheral neuropathies.

Modelling Ecological Systems with the Calculus of Wrapped Compartments

The Calculus of Wrapped Compartments is a framework based on stochastic multiset rewriting in a compartmentalised setting originally developed for the modelling and analysis of biological interactions. In this paper, we propose to use this calculus for the description of ecological systems and we provide the modelling guidelines to encode within the calculus some of the main interactions leadin...
