We present a rationale for the description and diagnosis of fisheries at the level of Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs), which is relatively new, and encompasses a series of concepts and indicators different from those typically used to describe fisheries at the stock level. We then document how catch data, which are usually available on a smaller scale, are mapped by the Sea Around Us Project (se...

The ClpXP protease of bacteria can degrade a wide variety of proteins while maintaining remarkable substrate selectivity. New work in Escherichia coli implicates adaptor proteins in enhancing substrate selectivity and regulating the flow of substrates to cellular proteases.

We theoretically analyze the Cops and Robber Game for the first time in a multidimensional grid. It is shown that in an n-dimensional grid, at least n cops are necessary if one wants to catch the robber under all possible initial configurations. We also present a set of cop strategies for which n cops are provably sufficient to catch the robber.
