Rowe's stress–dilatancy relation for frictional (cohesion-less) materials has been a cornerstone of soil mechanics. The original derivation of this relationship was based on incorrect energy minimisation considerations, but the relationship was proven later by De Josselin de Jong using friction laws, and has been confirmed by a large body of experimental results. In contrast, the validity of Ro...

•We previously selected for large and small brain size in guppies.•Large-brained females outperformed small-brained females in a learning task.•Healy and Rowe challenged our interpretations of larger brains = better learning.•Here we argue why we think they are mistaken.

The extraordinary properties of second harmonic generation in negative-index metamaterials, where the Poynting vector and the wavevector have opposite directions are investigated. The ”backward” phase-matching condition results in significant changes in the Manley-Rowe relations and in spatial distributions of the field intensities of the coupled waves. 0 0 z RHM

Curcumin is a compound with anti-tumor effects in a tolerable dose. A recent paper by Rowe et al described that curcumin induced DNA damage in triple negative breast cancer cells and regulated BRCA1 protein expression and modification.1 Related research and potential use of curcumin will be discussed in this article.
