Working with laws, regularities and singularities in biology: The evolution of mammalian red blood cell size as a case study

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Phylogenetic comparative methods have been used in recent literature to work with laws and test for regularities (evolutionary associations of quantitative features) and evolutionary singularities (features that evolved in a single taxon). We analyzed these uses epistemologically, taking the evolution of red‐blood‐cell mean corpuscular volume (

Magnetic classification of stony meteorites: 3. Achondrites

open access: yes, 2009
A database of magnetic susceptibility measurements of stony achondrites (acapulcoitelodranite clan, winonaites, ureilites, angrites, aubrites, brachinites, howardite-eucrite-diogenite (HED) clan, and Martian meteorites, except lunar meteorites) is ...

The Richardton Meteorite [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Geology, 1919
At 9:48 P.M. Mountain time, June 30, I918,' a meteorite was seen to fall in the country between Richardton and Mott, North Dakota. Pieces fell on both sides of the line between Stark and Hettinger counties within a strip about 9 miles wide from north to south and 5 miles wide from east to west. The center of this area lies in altitude 46037'30" N.

Uncatalyzed Guanosine Phosphorylation under Potentially Prebiotic Conditions

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Pyrophosphate acts as phosphorylating agent of guanosine under simple wet‐dry cycles without condensing agent and inorganic catalysts to afford cyclic guanosine monophosphate derivatives useful for oligomerization in prebiotic processes. ABSTRACT The phosphorylation of nucleosides and their subsequent polymerization are key issues in the study of the ...

The life and work of Ernest Sydney Keeping

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract This article reviews the life and contributions of Ernest S. Keeping (1895–1984), a British‐born physicist who became a mathematics professor at the University of Alberta in 1929. He played a pivotal role in shaping the university's Mathematics Department, serving as its head from 1954 to 1961, and continuing to teach until 1970, nine years ...

Stardust in meteorites [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011
Primitive meteorites, interplanetary dust particles, and comets contain dust grains that formed around stars that lived their lives before the solar system formed. These remarkable objects have been intensively studied since their discovery a little over twenty years ago and they provide samples of other stars that can be studied in the laboratory in ...

Local Structures of Se and Br in Cretaceous–Paleogene Boundary Sediments and Concentration Effects of Ferrihydrite Originating From Impact Ejecta

open access: yesGeological Journal, EarlyView.
Chemical states of Se and Br atoms in the KPg boundary sediments from Stevns Klint were studied using XAFS spectroscopy. The high concentrations of Se4+ could become an index of the degree to which the global environment was soiled with dust and ash derived from impact ejecta or volcanic eruptions.

The stellar origins of 96Zr excesses in presolar graphites from the Murchison meteorite

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Zirconium-96 is a stable isotope that can be synthesized under different neutron-rich nucleosynthetic conditions. Astrophysical models predict its production to occur in various stellar environments: from low-to-intermediate-mass asymptotic ...
