The effect of cell geometry on polarization in budding yeast. by Michael Trogdon, Brian Drawert, Carlos Gomez, Samhita P Banavar, Tau-Mu Yi, Otger Campàs, Linda R Petzold

“…In this paper we set out to elucidate the effect that the geometry of the cell can have on the dynamics of certain models of polarization. Specifically, we look at several spatial stochastic models of Cdc42 polarization that have been adapted from published models, on a variety of tip-shaped geometries, to replicate the shape change that occurs during the growth of the mating projection. …”

Scenario Simulation of Ecosystem Services Based on Land Use/Land Cover Change in the Bailong River Basin, in China by Shuangying Li, Yanyan Zhou, Dongxia Yue, Zhongling Guo, Zhi Li

“…Studying LUCC and its impact on ESs is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of the impact of human activities on ecosystems. The InVEST model coupled with the predicted land use data were used to analyze the spatiotemporal characteristics of four ESs (soil conservation (SC), water yield (WY), carbon storage (CS), and habitat quality (HQ)) under three scenarios from 2040 to 2100 and quantified trade-offs/synergies and bundles of these ESs within the Bailong River Basin (BRB). …”
