During late gestation and early postnatal development a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic factors drive the maturation of the human cortex. This process is regionally heterogeneous, with cortical areas developing at different paces and trajectories. [...]

Humanity is progressing towards automated product development, a trend that promises faster creation of better products and thus the acceleration of technological progress. However, increasing reliance on non-human agents for this process introduces many risks. [...]

The limited intra-hour variability of globally available hourly renewable energy system data leads to inaccuracies in the modeling of renewable energy systems. This work, therefore, presents a methodology to increase the temporal resolution of the global horizontal irradiance from one hour to one minute using non-dimensional irradiance and parameters matching for arbitrary locations.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are widespread symbiotic partners of mostterrestrial plants and form close associations with their roots. While their role inenhancing nutrient uptake, particularly phosphorus, has been well studied, their effectson soil structure and plant water uptake have not been studied as broadly.We have developed a model describing AMF colonization and the growth of extraradicalmycelium in the soil, with a particular focus on their impact on plant drought tolerance.Plants in symbiosis with AMF have been observed to extend their root system to largersoil volumes and under nutrient limiting conditions AMF facilitate nutrient uptake.
