A phylogenomic perspective on the radiation of ray-finned fishes based upon targeted sequencing of ultraconserved elements [PDF]
Ray-finned fishes constitute the dominant radiation of vertebrates with over 30,000 species. Although molecular phylogenetics has begun to disentangle major evolutionary relationships within this vast section of the Tree of Life, there is no widely ...

Analyzing Machupo virus-receptor binding by molecular dynamics simulations [PDF]
In many biological applications, we would like to be able to computationally predict mutational effects on affinity in protein-protein interactions. However, many commonly used methods to predict these effects perform poorly in important test cases.

Reducing Cement Contents of Paving Blocks by Using Mineral Waste and by-Product Materials [PDF]
In the production of conventional paving blocks, it is usual to use a minimum of 210 kg/m3 of cement. However, when portland cement is produced, it impacts negatively on the environment due to carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, this paper investigates

Mechanisms controlling the air-sea CO2 flux in the North Sea [PDF]
The mechanisms driving the air–sea exchange of carbon dioxide (CO2CO2) in the North Sea are investigated using the three-dimensional coupled physical–biogeochemical model ECOHAM (ECOlogical-model, HAMburg).
