An archaeological mystery revealed by radiocarbon dating of cross-flow nanofiltrated amino acids derived from bone collagen, silk, and hair: case study of the bishops Baldwin I and Radbot II from Noyon-Tournai [PDF]
Excavations in the cathedral of Tournai revealed two sepultures, which were identified by the excavators as those of bishops because of their special location in the cathedral. One burial was assigned to Baldwin I, who died in AD 1068, because (1) a ring

A tutorial on Bayesian model averaging for exponential random graph models
Abstract The use of exponential random graph models (ERGMs) is becoming prevalent in psychology due to their ability to explain and predict the formation of edges between vertices in a network. Valid inference with ERGMs requires correctly specifying endogenous and exogenous effects as network statistics, guided by theory, to represent the network ...

Detecting Critical Change in Dynamics Through Outlier Detection with Time‐Varying Parameters
Abstract Intensive longitudinal data are often found to be non‐stationary, namely, showing changes in statistical properties, such as means and variance‐covariance structures, over time. One way to accommodate non‐stationarity is to specify key parameters that show over‐time changes as time‐varying parameters (TVPs). However, the nature and dynamics of

Economic activity during extreme events
Abstract Although extreme weather events, natural disasters or infrastructure failures potentially have important economic effects, quantifying these effects over small areas and fine time intervals has been difficult because of the fairly coarse scales available in most data sources. This paper surveys the use of relatively new and finely grained data

Perceptions of female age, health and attractiveness vary with systematic hair manipulations
Two experiments were conducted to study how lay individuals evaluate systematic changes in female head hair. The results showed that participants tended to rate high‐shine hair more favourably than lower‐shine hair. When combining shine with alignment and volume, straight‐aligned hair with high shine and low volume was generally perceived as more ...
