Georgina Mace proposed bending the curve of biodiversity loss as a fitting ambition for the Convention on Biological Diversity. The new Global Biodiversity Monitoring Framework (GBMF) may increase the chances of meeting the goals and targets in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF), which requires bending the curve. To meet the outcome goals of KMGBF, the GBMF should support adaptive policy responses to the state of biodiversity, which in turn requires a 'satnav' for nature.

Breast cancer cells sense shear stresses in response to interstitial fluid flow in bone and induce specific biological responses. Computational fluid dynamics models have been instrumental in estimating these shear stresses to relate the cell mechanoresponse to exact mechanical signals, better informing experiment design. Most computational models greatly simplify the experimental and cell mechanical environments for ease of computation, but these simplifications may overlook complex cell-substrate mechanical interactions that significantly change shear stresses experienced by cells.

Background: Given the increasing commitment of numerous nations to achieving future carbon neutrality, urban development planning that integrating carbon storage considerations plays a crucial role in enhancing urban carbon efficiency and promoting regional sustainable development. Previous studies have indicated that optimizing land use structure and quality is essential for regional carbon storage management. Taking the core area of Taihu Bay as study area, this study innovatively combined high-precision urban 3D data to account for the whole urban carbon pools of buildings, vegetation, soils, water.

Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) are evolving from individual systems to collectives of systems that collaborate to achieve highly complex goals, realizing a cyber-physical system of systems (CPSoSs) approach. They are heterogeneous systems comprising various autonomous CPSs, each with unique performance capabilities, priorities, and pursued goals. In practice, there are significant challenges in the applicability and usability of CPSoSs that need to be addressed.
