Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Homoplasy is a strong indicator of a phenotypic trait's adaptive significance when it can be linked to a similar function. We assessed homoplasy in functionally relevant scapular and femoral traits of Marmotini and Xerini, two sciuromorph rodent clades ...

Relief: Revue Électronique de Littérature Francaise, 2021 Bien plus fertile en créole qu’en français, la composition nominale et verbale se définit comme la juxtaposition d’unités lexicales autonomes, parfois marquée par le recours au trait d’union.

Morphological Principal Component Analysis for Hyperspectral Image Analysis
ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2016 This article deals with the issue of reducing the spectral dimension of a hyperspectral image using principal component analysis (PCA). To perform this dimensionality reduction, we propose the addition of spatial information in order to improve the ...

Scientia Marina, 2018 At Makemo Atoll (French Polynesia), the carapid fish Onuxodon fowleri lives in symbiosis with the black-lip pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera. Although the symbiont seems to live inside its host bivalve by using it as a shelter, additional data are ...

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.Our current understanding of the origins of Homo sapiens is limited, in part, by the fragmented fossil record from Late Pleistocene and early Holocene Africa. Here, we re‐examine the Kabua 1 cranium, an enigmatic and little‐studied Kenyan fossil discovered in the 1950s. We compare virtual reconstructions created previously by our team with a wide range

SOME DENSE RANDOM PACKINGS GENERATED BY THE DEAD LEAVES MODEL
Image Analysis and Stereology, 2019 The intact grains of the dead leaves model enables us to generate random media with non overlapping grains. Using the time non homogeneous sequential model with convex grains, theoretically very dense packings can be generated, up to a full covering of ...

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.The year 2025 marked the ninetieth since a fossil hominin occipital bone was discovered in Swanscombe, southeast England. In subsequent years, its parietal bones were found, producing what remains the oldest partial cranium from Britain today. In the earliest analyses, it was interpreted as a descendant of the infamous fraudulent fossil Piltdown Man ...

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the gold‐standard treatment for benign gallbladder disease but carries a higher risk of bile duct injury than the open approach, largely due to misidentification of critical hepatobiliary structures.

Bio‐active designed peptide for hair keratin strengthening
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.Bioactive tripeptides through in silico screening revealed KCV (Tripeptide‐132) as the most promising keratin‐targeting candidate. Experimental studies confirmed its superior hair‐strengthening performance with 44% tensile strength enhancement, 50% breakage reduction, improved surface integrity and fibre penetration.

Effects of repeated exposure to ozonated water on hair fibre structure and integrity: Part I
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.Repeated exposure to ozonated water caused cumulative oxidative changes in hair, altering structural integrity, thermal behaviour and mechanical properties. The findings reveal a distinct ozone‐induced damage profile that progresses beyond the cuticle, challenging claims of hair‐revitalizing benefits. Abstract Objective Ozone has recently been marketed
