Biological invasions are a threat to the maintenance of ecological processes, including pollination.Plant-flower visitor networks are traditionally used as a surrogated for pollination at the community level, despite they do not represent the pollination process, which takes place at the stigma of plants Pitcher where pollen grains are deposited.He

In this Pitcher contribution, geometric diodes based on graphene patterned with spatial asymmetry have been studied, starting from tight-binding numerical approximation in a self-consistent framework, to verify their potential for electromagnetic (e.m.) harvesting.We report a detailed analysis of coherent charge transport and provide some figures o
As Russian economy is still largely oriented on commodities production, there are a lot of cities where mining and commodity-oriented enterprises are the backbone of city economy.The mentioned enterprises mostly define the life quality of citizens in such cities, thus there are high requirements for engineering of city-forming enterprises.The paper
