Origin, evolution and biogeographic dynamics of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in Southwestern Europe

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

LBP Stereo Matching Algorithm Based on LSC Image Segmentation [PDF]

open access: yesJisuanji gongcheng, 2018
In the traditional global stereo matching methods,pixel-based belief propagation has a large amount of computation and a single pixel point can easily cause errors.Therefore,on the basis of the image segmentation processing methods,a Loopy Belief ...

Hubble Space Telescope Trigonometric Parallax of Polaris B, Companion of the Nearest Cepheid [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Polaris, the nearest and brightest Cepheid, is a potential anchor point for the Leavitt period–luminosity relation. However, its distance is a matter of contention, with recent advocacy for a parallax of ∼10 mas, in contrast with the Hipparcos ...

The Gaia DR2 parallax zero-point: hierarchical modelling of red clump stars [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019
The systematic offset of Gaia parallaxes has been widely reported with Gaia’s second data release, and it is expected to persist in future Gaia data.

Role of soft tissue and bone interactions in the developmental integration and modularity of the skull in neural crest‐specific gap junction alpha‐1 knockout mice

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The vertebrate skull is composed of bones derived from neural crest cells and mesoderm. The evolutionary capacity of the skull has been linked, in part, to the emergence of neural crest cells; however, this increased capacity for evolutionary change requires that variation within neural crest‐ and mesoderm‐derived bones remains partly ...

New light on the Gaia DR2 parallax zero-point: influence of the asteroseismic approach, in and beyond the Kepler field [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2019
The importance of studying the Gaia DR2 parallax zero-point by external means was underlined by the articles that accompanied the release, and initiated by several works making use of Cepheids, eclipsing binaries, and asteroseismology.

A magnetar parallax [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
XTE J1810-197 (J1810) was the first magnetar identified to emit radio pulses, and has been extensively studied during a radio-bright phase in 2003$-$2008. It is estimated to be relatively nearby compared to other Galactic magnetars, and provides a useful

Discovery and Initial Investigation of a New Low Surface Brightness Planetary Nebula Candidate at High Galactic Latitude

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Planetary nebulae represent a late evolutionary phase of low‐ to intermediate‐mass stars. In this article, we present the serendipitous discovery of a previously unknown, faint potential Galactic planetary nebula (PN) in the constellation Camelopardalis, identified during a survey‐inspection, aiming at the detection of dwarf companions of the ...

Comparison of GOES16 Data with the TRACER-ESCAPE Field Campaign Dataset for Convection Characterization: A Selection of Case Studies and Lessons Learnt

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Convective updrafts are one of the main characteristics of convective clouds, responsible for the convective mass flux and the redistribution of energy and condensate in the atmosphere.

Eye Pointing in Stereoscopic Displays

open access: yesJournal of Eye Movement Research, 2016
This study investigated eye pointing in stereoscopic displays. Ten participants performed 18 tapping tasks in stereoscopic displays with three different levels of parallax (at the screen, 20 cm and 50 cm in front of the screen).
