Over the last century, many bird species have been introduced into the Hawaiian islands. The data indicate a scenario in which island communities build up to a critical number of species, above which avalanches of extinction occur. Plotting the distribution of extinction event sizes approximates a p

The termite architecture model of O'Toole et'al. (1999) is extended to incorporate arbitrary halting time-scales. It is shown that this also means that the assumption of synchronous building must be relaxed. Numerical simulations show that ordered nest architecture emerges under a wide range of time

Copper oxalate particles precipitated from copper nitrate and sodium oxalate are aggregates of small crystallites. The crystallites seem to be self-organized such that they are very well aligned crystallographically within the volume of the aggregate. The addition of various cellulose derivatives in
