Platypus: Sub-mm Micro-Displacement Sensing with Passive Millimeter-wave Tags As "Phase Carriers"
International Symposium on Information Processing in Sensor Networks, 2023 Micro-displacement measurement is a crucial task in industrial systems such as structural health monitoring, where millimeter-level displacement of specific points on the structure or machinery displace can jeopardize the integrity of the structure and ...

Phanerozoic Large Igneous Province, Petroleum System, and Source Rock Links
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 191-228., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Using DNA metabarcoding as a novel approach for analysis of platypus diet
Scientific Reports, 2022 Platypuses (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) forage for macroinvertebrate prey exclusively in freshwater habitats. Because food material in their faeces is well digested and mostly unidentifiable, previous dietary studies have relied on cheek pouch assessments ...

Retrotransposon silencing by DNA methylation can drive mammalian genomic imprinting [PDF]
, 2015 Among mammals, only eutherians and marsupials are viviparous and have genomic imprinting that leads to parent-of-origin-specific differential gene expression. We used comparative analysis to investigate the origin of genomic imprinting in mammals. PEG10 (

The history and homology of the os paradoxum or dumb-bell-shaped bone of the platypus Ornithorhynchus anatinus (Mammalia, Monotremata) [PDF]
Vertebrate Zoology, 2022 The os paradoxum or dumb-bell-shaped bone is a paired bone occurring in the middle of the specialized bill of the platypus Ornithorhynchus anatinus. It has been variously considered as a neomorph of the platypus, as the homologue of the paired vomer of ...
