United we stand? Organizational groups and spinoff mortality in the context of academic entrepreneurship by Gotsopoulos, Aleksios, Pitsakis, Konstantinos

“…We borrow and expand the concept of density dependence from organizational ecology to theorize that a spinoff's propensity to fail is affected by the number of spinoffs active not only in the aggregate population but also within its parent university's portfolio. …”

Giant photonic spin Hall effect empowered by polarization-dependent quasibound states in the continuum in compound grating waveguide structures by Wu, Feng, Liu, Tingting, Long, Yang, Xiao, Shuyuan, Chen, Gengyan

“…The photonic spin Hall effect (PSHE) plays an important role in both fundamental science and precision metrology. In this paper, we theoretically propose a polarization-dependent bound state in the continuum (BIC) in a compound grating waveguide structure based on the selectable guided resonance at near-infrared wavelengths. …”

Operation and control of PEM fuel cell system by Tan, Chun Xu.

“…Hence, the use of the fuel cell based power system for residential or industrial application is expected to be more prevalent in the near future due to improved power quality, reliability, portability and sustainability of the ecology system. However, integration of a variety of small-size distributed generators is changing the traditional structure of electric power distribution systems and affecting system dynamics, whose main source of power supply is the substation. …”

A risk assessment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in swimming pools : a review by Rice, Scott A., Akker, Ben van den, Pomati, Francesco, Roser, David

“…This review was undertaken to identify the current understanding of risk factors associated with pool operation with respect to P. aeruginosa. The ecology and factors that promote growth of P. aeruginosa in the pool environment are complex and dynamic and so we applied a systematic risk assessment approach to integrate existing data, with the aim to improve pool management and safety. …”

Diauxic lags explain unexpected coexistence in multi‐resource environments by Bloxham, Blox, Lee, Hyunseok, Gore, Jeff

“…How the coexistence of species is affected by the presence of multiple resources is a major question in microbial ecology. We experimentally demonstrate that differences in diauxic lags, which occur as species deplete their own environments and adapt their metabolisms, allow slow‐growing microbes to stably coexist with faster‐growing species in multi‐resource environments despite being excluded in single‐resource environments. …”

Advancing nature-based solutions through enhanced soil health monitoring in the United Kingdom by Giuliani, LM, Warner, E, Campbell, GA, Lynch, J, Smith, AC, Smith, P

“…To address this, we propose a flexible, interdisciplinary approach combining soil science, ecology and socio-economic insights. We introduce an interactive tool to help users select suitable soil and biodiversity metrics which are context and scalespecific, and suggest avenues for future research. …”

Relational persistent homology for multispecies data with application to the tumor microenvironment by Stolz, BJ, Dhesi, J, Bull, JA, Harrington, HA, Byrne, HM, Yoon, IHR

“…Such heterogeneous data types arise in many contexts, ranging from biomedical imaging, geospatial analysis, to species ecology. Here, we propose two methods for encoding spatial relations among different data types that are based on Dowker complexes and Witness complexes. …”
