Variational formulation of active nematic fluids: theory and simulation by W Mirza, A Torres-Sánchez, G Vilanova, Marino Arroyo

“…The development of thermodynamically consistent theories and numerical methods to model active nemato-hydrodynamics is eased by mathematical formalisms enabling systematic derivations and structured-preserving algorithms. Alternative to classical nonequilibrium thermodynamics and bracket formalisms, here we develop a theoretical and computational framework for active nematics based on Onsager’s variational formalism to irreversible thermodynamics, according to which the dynamics result from the minimization of a Rayleighian functional capturing the competition between free-energy release, dissipation and activity. …”

Intraspecific Functional Trait Variation and Coordination in Schizachyrium scoparium by Jacob Zeldin, Tessa Dethlefs, Stacy Caeiro, Daniel Puga, Andrea Kramer

“…We asked (1) how regional populations of S. scoparium differ in their functional traits, (2) how functional trait variation in S. scoparium is structured among and within populations, and (3) how above‐ and below‐ground functional traits of S. scoparium coordinate and describe axes of functional trade‐offs. …”

Chloroplast genome features and intraspecific variation of Rosa praelucens by WANG Qigang1, CAO Shirui1,2, WANG Huichun1, MA Changle2, YAN Huijun1, QIU Xianqin1, JING Weikun1, JIAN Hongying1*

“…These results indicate that the chloroplast genomes are highly conserved in size, sequence and structure within R. praelucens. The rich intraspecific phenotypic diversity is not caused by the variation of chloroplast genomes among different individual plants.…”

Effect of Analytical Particle Size on Pore Structure of High Volatile Bituminous Coal and Anthracite Using Low-Pressure N2 and CO2 Adsorption by Zheng Dang, Xiaoming Wang, Shihui Hou, Sidong Pan

“…The closed mesopores with different pore size ranges are opened with a certain percentage in high volatile bituminous coal, but opened irregularly in anthracite during pulverization. Micropore structure parameters of the two coals show different variations with decreasing particle size, which are not related to the reconstituted micropore structure. …”
