TAXON, Volume 72, Issue 2, Page 307-359, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Classifications of the pantropical plant family Sapotaceae based solely on morphology have historically recognized between 125 and 53 genera. Phylogenetic analyses using molecular data have repeatedly demonstrated that broad concepts of two large genera belonging to subfamily Chrysophylloideae, Chrysophyllum and Pouteria, are untenable and ...

Integrative Zoology, Volume 18, Issue 1, Page 15-26, January 2023., 2023 We investigated the UV‐induced photoluminescence of the fur of 23 species of monotremes, marsupial, and placental mammals. We used emission and excitation spectroscopy as well as multispectral imaging to detect, characterize, and map the chemical compounds responsible for the reddish photoluminescence.

An ultrasonography‐based approach for tissue modelling to inform photo‐therapy treatment strategies
Journal of Biophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2022., 2022 Diagnostic medicine has benefited enormously from ultrasound imaging as a point‐of‐care device. In this research, we use high frequency ultrasound imaging to build optical models with individual‐specific geometries and optical properties. Subsequently, these are used to model the interactions of light with Monte Carlo methods.

American Ethnologist, Volume 48, Issue 1, Page 65-79, February 2021., 2021 ABSTRACT Historically, policing in Rio de Janeiro has been shaped by the equation of racialized violence and masculinity. Attempts to reform the police have paradoxically drawn on forms of male violence that are centered on the rational and professional use of force and on “softer” practices, such as dialogue and collaboration, symbolically coded as ...
