Turing Patterns in Deserts
Self-organised patterns of vegetation are a characteristic feature of many semi-arid regions. In particular, banded vegetation is typical on hillsides. Mathematical modelling is widely used to study these banded patterns, because there are no laboratory replicates. I will describe the development of spatial patterns in an established model for banded vegetation via a Turing bifurcation. I will ...

Cardiovascular disease (CVD), including heart disease and stroke, is the leading cause of death in the United States, producing an immense health and economic burden. An estimated 92.1 million US adults are diagnosed with at least one type of CVD, and a projected 43.9% of US adults will have some form of CVD by 2030. One of the primary reasons for the continued high burden of CVD is the persist...
متن کاملBiologists in stamps
These UK stamps were issued in (clockwise, from top right) 1965, 1982 and 1996, to commemorate the centenary of Joseph Lister's discovery of antiseptic surgery, the centenary of the death of Charles Darwin, and the work of crystallographer Dorothy Hodgkin (who is backed by her model of vitamin B 12). The Hodgkin stamp is one of a series entitled Twentieth Century Women of Achievement, which inc...
متن کاملPhotosynthetic microbes in freezing deserts.
Polar deserts are not devoid of life despite the extreme low temperature and scarcity of water. Recently, patterned stone fields--caused by periglacial activity--have been surveyed in the Arctic and Antarctic. It was found that the productivity of the cyanobacteria and algae (hypoliths) that colonise the underside of the stones is strongly related to the pattern of the stones. The hypolith asse...
متن کاملCoronavirus Antibodies in Bat Biologists
To the Editor: Severe acute respiratory syndrome–associated coro-navirus (SARS-CoV) is a new coro-navirus that caused an epidemic of 8,096 cases of SARS and 774 deaths during 2002–2003 (1). Attempts are ongoing to identify the natural reservoir of SARS-CoV. Several horseshoe bat species (Rhinolopus spp.) from Asia (2,3) and a sample of bats from Africa (4) have been found to be infected by and ...
