Models of radial velocities and transit light curves [PDF]
2018ASSP...49..199D, 2017 Research in extrasolar-planet science is data-driven. With the advent of radial-velocity instruments like HARPS and HARPS-N, and transit space missions like Kepler, our ability to discover and characterise extrasolar planets is no longer limited by instrumental precision but by our ability to model the data accurately.

Effective dispersal of fern spore and the ecological relevance of zoochory
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The mechanisms of fern dispersal are under‐studied and there are few data to support the vectors assumed to drive patterns of sporophyte occurrence and speciation. Although wind is generally the fern spore dispersal vector described in the literature, there has always been competing evidence supporting alternate vectors.

Emergence and evolution of Santa Maria Island (Azores)—The conundrum of uplifted islands revisited
, 2017 The growth and decay of ocean-island volcanoes are intrinsically linked to vertical movements. While the causes for subsidence are better understood, uplift mechanisms remain enigmatic.

Do Science and Technology Parks Work as Drivers of Firm Innovation? Empirical Evidence From Portugal
Creativity and Innovation Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Science and technology parks were conceived to promote firm performance and innovation, and they have become increasingly important in local and regional development policies. However, there are few empirical studies on their effectiveness as drivers of firm innovation, and existing studies have also reported mixed results, which could be due ...
