The Role of Dice in the Emergence of the Probability Calculus

International Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary The early development of the probability calculus was clearly influenced by the roll of dice. However, while dice have been cast since time immemorial, documented calculations on the frequency of various dice throws date back only to the mid‐13th century.

Systemic effects of sunlight: 10‐year review of cardiovascular, infection and cancer outcomes

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
This review highlights the systemic effects of sunlight and ultraviolet radiation. While UV radiation exposure has known cutaneous risks including photoaging and skin cancer, evidence suggests potential associations with reduced all‐cause mortality, improved infectious disease outcomes and reduced blood pressure.

The Development and Validation of Models of Risk for Behaviours That Challenge in Children With Developmental Disabilities: A Novel Machine Learning Approach

Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Children with developmental disabilities show a high prevalence of behaviours that challenge (BtC). Thus, harnessing known risk markers to target early intervention to children at the greatest risk of BtC is essential. In this study, machine learning techniques were used to develop prediction models of risk (no, low and high ...

A Bayesian approach to spectroscopic depth sectioning for locating dopant atoms

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Locating dopants in 3D is of great interest as advanced materials and devices increasingly rely on control at atomic dimensions, and microscopy tools are constantly in development for this purpose. One potential tool is electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) depth sectioning, where a core‐loss signal is collected as a function of electron ...

Microspherules Formed by Lightning Strikes

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Natural microspherules are formed by high‐temperature processes and are present throughout the geologic record to the present day. We report the discovery of large numbers of microspherules recovered from a rock pavement in the Pilbara region, Western Australia.

Microbial Endolithic Community at Meteor Crater

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Postimpact recovery and evolution in response to climate changes produced a modern ecosystem at Meteor Crater dominated by a grassland and woodland of piñon and juniper, which has been used to evaluate floral and megafaunal consequences of impact cratering during the Phanerozoic Eon of complex life.
