A neutral mononuclear Fe(II) complex with spin crossover (SCO) properties, Fe2(SCN)2 (1) (L = 2-(2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline), was solvothermally synthesized. It displays a new example of two-step SCO with Tc1↓ = 250 K, Tc1↑ = 260 K and Tc2 = 295 K.

Mimicry refers to adaptive similarity between a mimic organism and a model. Mimicry in animals is rather common, whereas documented cases in plants are rare, and the associated benefits are seldom elucidated [1, 2]. We show the occurrence of leaf mimicry in a climbing plant endemic to a temperate rainforest. The woody vine Boquila trifoliolata mimics the leaves of its supporting trees in terms ...

Copulas and vines allow us to model the distribution of multivariate random variables in a flexible way. This article introduces copulas via Sklar’s theorem, explains how pair copula constructions are built by decomposing multivariate copula densities and illustrates vine graphical representations.

Introduction classically, cell signalling has been viewed in terms of linear pathways that lead from external or internal stimuli to cellular effectors. But this simple view developed more as a means to visualize and to understand the individual components of these complex systems, rather than to reflect reality. it is now clear that, in most cases, cell signalling is much more complex and invo...
