Topological defects, such as monopoles, vortex lines or domain walls, mark locations where disparate choices of a broken-symmetry vacuum elsewhere in the system lead to irreconcilable differences(1,2). They are energetically costly (the energy density in their core reaches that of the prior symmetric vacuum) but topologically stable (the whole manifold...
One-electron oxidation of the μ-oxo dimer
(cis,cis-[Ruᴵᴵᴵ(bpy)₂(OH₂)]₂O⁴⁺, {3,3}) to {3,4} by S₂O₈²⁻ can
be described by three concurrent reaction pathways corresponding

Kickback is the leading cause of the most severe and traumatic chainsaw-related injuries. As a result, safety standards require chainsaw manufacturers to produce low-kickback saw chain. In order to understand the tradeoffs in current state-of-the-art saw chain, a comparison study was conducted on a custom test apparatus using four different...
Developmental time, longevity, and lifetime fertility of three previously introduced parasitoids (Acerophagus papayae Noyes and Schauff, Anagyrus loecki Noyes and Menezes, and Pseudleptomastix mexicana Noyes and Schauff) (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) of the mealybug Paracoccus marginatus Williams and Granara de Willink (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) were studied in the laboratory to understand the outcome...
'Alba' (Reg. No. [CV-355, PI 672535]) is a winter, six-row barley released by the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station in 2012. The name “Alba” was chosen due to the bright and attractive appearance of the crop at maturity. In high rainfall environments, it has a notable yield advantage over check varieties...
