Natural Resources and Political Patronage in Africa: An Ethnicity Level Analysis
ABSTRACT We investigate the effect of resource discoveries on ethnicity‐level political patronage in Africa using a large geospatial dataset of 254 ethnic groups in 15 countries over the period 1960–2004. We find that the first (or single first) resource discovery in a virgin ethnic homeland increases the share of cabinet posts of that ethnicity.

Function Art: Linking Mathematics, Technology, and Visual Arts
ABSTRACT This study investigated students' understanding of mathematical functions and strategies to create artwork using GeoGebra. It was framed by the principles of constructionism and examined how students use functions in creating artworks. We gathered data from students' artworks using the Algebra view and the Construction Protocol in the GeoGebra

Regeneration of the lizard heart after cryoinjury
Abstract Lizards are renowned for their tremendous potential to heal tissues and organs after injury, but little is known about myocardial regeneration in reptiles generally. Here, we study cardiac regeneration in the leopard gecko (Eublepharis macularius) to fill the knowledge gap between traditional models of poikilothermic (zebrafish) and ...

Utility of local capillary supply indices: Insights from computational image‐based modelling
Abstract figure legend Local capillary distribution and fibre geometry influence oxygen availability in skeletal muscle. Image‐based modelling of tissue PO2${{P}_{{{{\mathrm{O}}}_2}}}$ shows that area‐based measures of capillary supply – the local capillary density (LCDi) and local maximum diffusion distance (Dmax,i) – most accurately represent the ...
