Barrier islands and their backbarrier saltmarshes have a reciprocal relationship: aeolian storm processes transport sediment from the beaches dunes to create build marshes along landward fringe of island. In turn, these exert stabilizing influence on barrier by widening system forming platform onto which island migrates, consequently slowing migration inhibiting breaching. Here, we present nove...

Deforestation natural disasters have increasingly threatened sustainable development on island. Based analyses multi-source ...

Blood islands are conglomerations of prevascular stem cells that form during vasculogenesis, a function critical to early vascular and hematopoietic development. In this paper, a model of blood island formation is proposed employing the approach of classical enzyme kinetics. Deterministic simulations of the model show the formation of blood island-like structures. These are compared to murine b...
