Transients are fundamental to ecological systems with significant implications to management,conservation and biological control.We uncover a type of transient synchronization behavior in spatial ecological networks whose local dynamics are of the chaotic,predator-prey type.In the parameter regime where there is phase synchronization among all the patches,complete synchronization(i.e.synchronization in both phase and amplitude)can arise in certain pairs of patches as determined by the network symmetry-henceforth the phenomenon of\'synchronization within synchronization.\'Distinct patterns of complete synchronization coexist but,due to intrinsic instability or noise,each pattern is a transient and there is random,intermittent switching among the patterns in the course of time evolution.The probability distribution of the transient time is found to follow an algebraic scaling law with a divergent average transient lifetime.Based on symmetry considerations,we develop a stability analysis to understand these phenomena.The general principle of symmetry can also be exploited to explain previously discovered,counterintuitive synchronization behaviors in ecological networks.

The silicon (3560 mAh/g) anode delivers a 10-times-higher specific capacity than that of the graphite counterpart (372 mAh/g).However,the large volume change of Si during lithiation and de-lithiation processes always result in poor cycling stability.Lots
一五年前,当我接触到王啸峰小说的时候,我立即感到这是一个文学叙述的“怪胎”,面对他“驳杂迷幻”的小说文本叙述,在阅读、接受的层面,很容易就会令人在审美上产生“慌不择路”甚至不知所措的感觉.我想,为此我必须调整自己的阅读方式,或者重新整饬自己的小说理念,以及自己对事物的认知和理解方式,来仔细地面对他的文本.王啸峰两本重要的小说集《隐秘花园》和《浮生流年》,分别由王啸峰的“乡党”汪政和王尧两位江苏籍评论家作序.我在系统地阅读这两本集子时,刻意地先规避这两位评论者对王啸峰小说的判断和评价,我担心我没有“定力”,

Microbial pathogens are viruses,bacte-ria,fungi and protozoa infecting humans,animals or plants.Super pathogens (also known as superbugs) able to resist mul-tiple antimicrobials and cause fatal infec-tions have been increasingly considered an emerging thr
In modern electronics and optoelectronics,hot electron behaviors are highly concerned,as they determine the performance limit of a device or system,like the associated thermal or power constraint of chips and the Shockley-Queisser limit for solar cell eff
Photosynthesis in nature uses the Mn4CaO5 cluster as the oxygen-evolving center to catalyze the water oxidation efficiently in photosystem Ⅱ.Herein,we demonstrate bio-inspired heterometallic LnCo3(Ln =Nd,Eu and Ce) clusters,which can be viewed as syntheti
Synthetic lethality was proposed nearly a century ago by geneticists and recently applied to develop precision anti-cancer therapies.To exploit the synthetic lethality concept in the design of chemical anti-cancer agents,we developed a bio-orthogonally ca

Selective C(sp3)-H activation is of fundamental importance in processing alkane feedstocks to produce high-value-added chemical products.By virtue of an on-surface synthesis strategy,we report selective cascade dehydrogenation of n-alkane molecules under
