Earth Overshoot Day (EOD)

Thursday, August 1, 2024 (All day)
Earth

Earth Overshoot Day (EOD) is the calculated illustrative calendar date on which humanity's resource consumption for the year exceeds Earth’s capacity to regenerate those resources that year. In 2024, it falls on August 1st. The term "overshoot" represents the level by which human population's demand overshoots the sustainable amount of biological resources regenerated on Earth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_Overshoot_Day

[Seminar] An introduction to self-similarity of the first and second kind

Tuesday, July 16, 2024 - 16:00 to 17:00
Lab4 L4E01 Seminar Room

Speaker: Dr. Shreyas Mandre

University Associate Professor of Fluid-Structure Interaction, Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge

Hosted by: Professor Mahesh Bandi, Nonlinear and Non-equilibrium Physics Unit

When physical processes repeat over either growing or shrinking scales (length and/or time), the dynamics shows self-similarity. The condition of self-similarity appears strict, but it is the building block of mathematical modelling. This lecture covers (i) concept of scale invariance as a pre-requisite for self-similarity, (ii) self-similarity in physical systems and mathematical models, (iii) the two kinds of self-similarity -- the first and second kinds, and (iv) a simple mathematical example to elucidate the second kind of self-similarity. The lecture presents examples from fluid dynamics. No previous knowledge of or experience with scale-invariance or self-similarity is assumed.

Seminar by Evolutionary Genomics Unit: Mature larvae continue calling at night in Vespa mandarinia

Tuesday, July 16, 2024 - 14:00 to 15:00

Speaker: Dr. Haruna Fujioka, Assistant Professor of Okayama University

岡山大学 藤岡春菜 助教授 ( 個人HP )

社会性昆虫、 昆虫生態学、動物行動学、時間生物学

Vespa hornet larvae produce a rhythmic 'rasping' sound by rubbing their mandibles against the cell wall of the nest. The call is thought to be a larval provisioning cue. However, detailed observation of larval calls has been limited to a few species, and it is not known whether the call can be influenced by the external environment or internal larval states such as hunger. We conducted laboratory observations of larval calls to investigate the effect of 1) larval stage, 2) daily variation, and 3) larval hunger level. Vespa mandarinia larvae produced sounds independent of light conditions, time of day, worker absence, and hunger level. A key finding of this research is the novel discovery that larvae produce sounds at night, a previously undocumented behavior.
