The random matrix model The present work is built around a variation of Robert May’s18 analysis introduced in the 1970’s to study the controversial question: “Will a large complex system be stable?” Instead of May’s linear dynamics, the classical nonlinear Lotka–Volterra equations of multi-species systems are taken advantage of. For a community of n-species, the […] More

Rural population Representation of human population density was used to redistribute data on cassava production per province or district in 30 countries of West, central, East and southern Africa. Data were obtained from the LandScan 201422 raster population density layer developed as part of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Global Population Project at a […] More

Screening, purification, and identification of deep-sea bacteria possessing potential thiosulfate oxidation capability During the course of screening of deep-sea bacteria possessing potential thiosulfate oxidation capability, strain 21–3 attracted our attention because it produced an obvious milky substance in the culture supplemented with 40 mM thiosulfate after two days of incubation (Fig. 1a), which is a typical indicator […] More
