A transitional snake from the Late Cretaceous period of North America
Snakes are the most diverse group of lizards, but their origins and early evolution remain poorly understood owing to a lack of transitional forms. Several major issues remain outstanding, such as whether snakes originated in a...
The history of climate and society
Abstract Recent decades have seen the rapid expansion of scholarship that identifies societal responses to past climatic fluctuations. This fast-changing scholarship, which was...
A parametric model to identify hydrodynamic bearing wear at a single rotating speed
For dynamic systems, fault detection and diagnosis involve the observation of vibration signals. Faults associated with hydrodynamic bearings are one of the most common causes of forced shutdowns in rotating machinery. If it is...

Visibility of 4-covers of elliptic curves
Nils Bruin, Tom Fisher
Apr 05, 2018
Let C be a 4-cover of an elliptic curve E, written as a quadric intersection in P^3. Let E' be another elliptic curve with 4-torsion isomorphic to that of E. We show how to write down the 4-cover C' of E' with the property that...
Biogeography of worm lizards (Amphisbaenia) driven by end-Cretaceous mass extinction
Worm lizards (Amphisbaenia) are burrowing squamates that live as subterranean predators. Their underground existence should limit dispersal, yet they are widespread throughout the Americas, Europe and Africa. This pattern was...
Interleukin-6 as potential mediator of long-term neuropsychiatric symptoms of COVID-19.
The majority of COVID-19 survivors experience long-term neuropsychiatric symptoms such as fatigue, sleeping difficulties, depression and anxiety. We propose that neuroimmune cross-talk via inflammatory cytokines such as...
Trusting the trust machine

Information systems research emphasizes that blockchain requires trust in the technology itself. However, we lack knowledge on the applicability of established trust cues to blockchain technology. Thus, this paper's objective...

Adapting the SHEL model in investigating industrial maintenance
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify and categorise problems in knowledge management of industrial maintenance, and support successful maintenance through adapting the SHEL model. The SHEL model has been used...

Large scale genomic rearrangements in selected Arabidopsis thaliana T-DNA lines are caused by T-DNA insertion mutagenesis.
BACKGROUND: Experimental proof of gene function assignments in plants is based on mutant analyses. T-DNA insertion lines provided an invaluable resource of mutants and enabled systematic reverse genetics-based investigation of...

Cutting cost in service systems
The ability to take action, in particular related to cost reductions in service systems, is strongly infl uenced by the understanding of decision-support tools such as cost estimates. A managerial perspective on cost estimation...
The effects of psychosocial stress on item, cued-pair and emotional memory.
Physical stress, such as from the cold-pressor test, has been robustly associated with altered memory retrieval, but it is less clear whether the same happens following psychosocial stress. Studies using psychosocial stressors...
Multidirectional chromosome painting substantiates the occurrence of extensive genomic reshuffling within Accipitriformes.
BACKGROUND: Previous cross-species painting studies with probes from chicken (Gallus gallus) chromosomes 1-10 and a paint pool of nineteen microchromosomes have revealed that the drastic karyotypic reorganization in Accipitridae...
