A blow-up dichotomy for semilinear fractional heat equations (2020)
Journal Article
Laister, R., & Sierżęga, M. (2021). A blow-up dichotomy for semilinear fractional heat equations. Mathematische Annalen, 381, 75–90. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00208-020-02078-2

We derive a blow-up dichotomy for positive solutions of fractional semilinear heat equations on the whole space. That is, within a certain class of convex source terms, we establish a necessary and sufficient condition on the source for all positive...

This chapter discusses the complexities and apparent contradictions in defining ‘nature’ and ‘urban nature’ in the context of human-nature interactions. It explains why urban nature is so important to human health and well-being at this point in the... Read More about What is urban nature and how do we perceive it?.

Defining strawberry shape uniformity using 3D imaging and genetic mapping (2020)
Journal Article
Li, B., Cockerton, H. M., Johnson, A. W., Karlström, A., Stavridou, E., Deakin, G., & Harrison, R. J. (2020). Defining strawberry shape uniformity using 3D imaging and genetic mapping. Horticulture Research, 7, Article 115. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41438-020-0337-x

Strawberry shape uniformity is a complex trait, influenced by multiple genetic and environmental components. To complicate matters further, the phenotypic assessment of strawberry uniformity is confounded by the difficulty of quantifying geometric pa...
