rangr: An R package for mechanistic, spatially explicit simulation of species range dynamics by Katarzyna Markowska, Katarzyna Malinowska, Lechosław Kuczyński

“…Several mechanistic, spatially explicit models have been proposed to address this issue, but they do not cover the full range of potential functionalities. We present a new open‐source R package called rangr, which integrates population dynamics and dispersal into a mechanistic virtual species simulator. …”

Wave-packet manipulation of He Rydberg states by a seeded free-electron laser by Mathieu Dumergue, Paolo Antonio Carpeggiani, Tamás Csizmadia, Miltcho Danailov, Alexander Demidovich, Giovanni De Ninno, Michele Di Fraia, Per Eng-Johnsson, Dominik Ertel, Hikaru Fujise, Mizuho Fushitani, Luca Giannessi, Harshitha Nandiga Gopalakrishna, Akiyoshi Hishikawa, Heide Ibrahim, Sergei Kühn, Francois Légaré, Yu Luo, Praveen Kumar Maroju, Johan Mauritsson, Matteo Moioli, Anna Olofsson, Jasper Peschel, Oksana Plekan, Stephen T. Pratt, Lorenzo Raimondi, Primož Rebernik Ribič, Shu Saito, Giuseppe Sansone, Ronak Shah, Emma R. Simpson, Daehyun You, Marco Zangrando, Carlo Callegari, Kiyoshi Ueda, Kevin C. Prince

“…The He atoms were postionized by infrared (IR) pulses, and the ion yield was measured as a function of XUV phase and IR arrival time. We tagged and sorted the relative phase of the XUV pulse pair on a single-shot basis by fitting each FEL spectrum with a suitable function that accounts for nonidealities of the XUV pulse pairs, associated with the seeding process; more generally, the fit returns the time-dependent electric field of the FEL spectra. …”

Utilization of Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) wastes for bioethanol production using Pichia kudriavzevii strains by Folake T. Afolabi, Ibukun E. Ola

“…Moreover, the Pichia kudriavzevii strains could be recommended for bioethanol production at 30 % inoculum size, on using sucrose as a carbon source and yeast extract as a nitrogen source. On using the Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTI) spectroscopy, the detected functional group of the produced bioethanol was O-H group. …”
