Restoration of polluted sites via in situ bioremediation relies heavily on the indigenous microbes and their activities. Spatial heterogeneity of microbial populations, contaminants and soil chemical ...

Marked geographic patterns for the distribution of some heritable traits are observed in humans, including traits related to disease risk, pathogen resistance and drug response. In some cases, the ...

The high biodiversity in tropical forests has both fascinated and puzzled ecologists for more than half a century. In the hopes of finding an answer to this puzzle, ecologists have turned their ...

We investigated the spatial patterns of perennial species (Stipa tenacissima, Anthyllis cytisoides, Globularia alypum, Brachypodium retusum and chamaephytes) in a 50 m × 50 m semi-arid steppe by using ...

The growth of large cities is often attributed to their proximity to exogenous, first-nature advantages. This column uses data on 450 Japanese cities to show that in fact, the regularity of ...

Many complex systems, from microbial communities to mussel beds to drylands, display striking self-organized clusters. According to theoretical models, these groupings play an important role in how an ...

In an unlikely pairing, a chemist and an astrophysicist applied the tools of statistical mechanics to find similarities in spatial patterns across length scales. In late 2021, Salvatore Torquato, on ...

This page provides information regarding a spatial point pattern test I developed as part of my PhD Dissertation. This is a point pattern test that measures the degree of similarity at the local level ...

Spatial Design, Breaking the 2D Paradigm,' a new book by Dominique Wu, puts forth design principles for spatial computing, XR, and AI-driven immersive experiences.

According to renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, "this book aims to establish the interrelation between patterns and layering within architecture. These two previously detached notions can now be ...
