Cross-pollination Enhances Macadamia Yields, Even With Branch-level Resource Limitation

Wind pollination and propagule formation in Rhizophora mangle L. (Rhizophoraceae): resource or pollination limitation?

Rhizophora mangle is considered as a self-compatible mangrove, and is pollinated by wind and insects. However, there is no information about fruit production by autogamy and agamospermy and on the foraging behavior of its flower visitors. Hence, the present study analyzed the pollination and reproductive systems of R. mangle in a mangrove community in northern Pernambuco, Brazil. Floral morphol...

Revisiting the Even-odd Staggering in Fission-fragment Yields

The even-odd staggering observed in the experimental fission-fragment nuclear-charge yields is investigated over a wide systematics of fission fragments measured at Lohengrin in direct kinematics and at GSI in inverse kinematics. The general increase of the even-odd staggering in the fission-fragment charge yields towards asymmetric charge splits is explained by the absorption of the unpaired n...

Double-differential Cross-sections, Yields

Different fields and disciplines in Science and Technology are imposing more stringent and accurate measurements of the proton and neutron total and differential cross-sections in the intermediate-energy range, from a few dozens of MeV up to a few GeV. Such measurements could be performed in facilities disposing of proton or light ion beams (namely facilities to produce Radioactive Nuclear Beam...

On Cross-pollination of Perspectives on Learning

Limitation of computational resource as physical principle

Limitation of computational resources is considered as a universal principle that for simulation is as fundamental as physical laws are. It claims that all experimentally verifiable implications of physical laws can be simulated by the effective classical algorithms. It is demonstrated through a completely deterministic approach proposed for the simulation of biopolymers assembly. A state of mo...
