Boulder Clay in Essex [PDF]

Nature, 1912
YOUR correspondent Dr. Irving, in his letter entitled “Boulder Clay in Essex” (NATURE, August 22), states that he has made a keen but futile search for a human artefact in the Boulder Clay, and, I presume, infers that these relics do not occur therein.

Becoming resilient: Community‐driven change and the civic capacity index

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract One of the principal features of successful community governance is that it is collaborative and thus dependent on a community's ability to work together. However, there are no valid, comprehensive means to assess a community's capacity to respond to civic challenges in collaborative ways, and that are predictive of community resilience and ...

Re‐evaluation of a soft crested Edmontosaurin, with implications for hadrosaurid life appearance and diversity

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Hadrosaurid dinosaurs are generally regarded as “crested” or “non‐crested” depending on the presence or absence of a bony cranial crest. At least one supposedly “non‐crested” hadrosaur is known to have possessed a soft tissue cranial crest (or comb), based on an exceptionally preserved “mummified” specimen. Here we redescribe this specimen and

Oldest well‐preserved euprimate petrosal, from the early Eocene of India (Vastan Lignite Mine, Gujarat)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract An exquisitely preserved, isolated partial petrosal with associated fragmentary stapes is described from the Vastan Lignite Mine (Gujarat, India), dated to the early Eocene (~54.5 Ma). Several anatomical traits (e.g., large petrosal plate; posterolateral entry of the internal carotid artery to the tympanic cavity; bony tubes surrounding the ...

I—On the Dispersion of Shapfell Boulders and Origin of Boulder-Clay [PDF]

Geological Magazine, 1870
As the attention of geologists has lately been re-directed to the above subjects by Mr. S. V. Wood and Prof. Harkness, I venture to hope that the following notes and observations, made during visits to Wasdale Crag and the neighbourhood, on the 7th and 15th of last June, will not prove uninteresting to the readers of the Geological Magazine.

Beyond a number game: Flat team structures improve inclusion and performance in diverse scientific teams

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract The promises and perils about scientific team diversity are still debated in the scholarly literature, partly because the importance of underrepresented groups is not fully recognized or valued. In this paper, we summarize two perspectives on team diversity in science: horizontal differences and vertical disparity. Horizontal differences refer

Effects of Dehulling and Extrusion‐Cooking on the Nutritional and Physicochemical Properties of Navy Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) Flours

ChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
Dehulling combined with twin‐screw extrusion improves the nutritional and functional properties of steam treated navy beans. Protein digestibility increases while phytic acid is reduced by 43% and trypsin inhibitors are inactivated. Enhanced expansion, solubility, and sensory quality highlight the potential of dehulled bean flours for developing ...

Surface hydration‐induced damage in tight oil‐bearing sandy conglomerate reservoirs

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
A series of techniques such as X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy‐dispersive spectroscopy, conductivity tests, and infrared thermal imaging were used. The key findings are the identification of a two‐stage surface hydration process and the elucidation of the effects of various minerals and elements on the hydration process ...
