A Dryopithecine Talus From Abocador de Can Mata (Vallès‐Penedès Basin, NE Iberian Peninsula): Morphometric Affinities and Evolutionary Implications for Hominoid Locomotion

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 186, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Objectives The functional interpretation of postcranial remains of Middle Miocene great apes from Europe (dryopithecines) suggests a combination of quadrupedalism and orthograde behaviors without modern analogs. We provide further insights based on an isolated dryopithecine talus (IPS85037) from the Middle Miocene (11.7 Ma) Abocador de Can ...

Bed material facies mapping at braided river scale and evidence for trends in fine sediment

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 50, Issue 2, February 2025.
This paper transforms point cloud and orthophotographic datasets into a detailed substrate and land cover map of the large, braided Rangitata River, NZ and evaluates the data and survey design requirements for reliably detecting facies of interest. Machine learning with RusBoost proved powerful in predicting fine sediment facies when both lidar and RGB

An empirical evaluation of imbalanced data strategies from a practitioner's point of view

, 2018
This research tested the following well known strategies to deal with binary imbalanced data on 82 different real life data sets (sampled to imbalance rates of 5%, 3%, 1%, and 0.1%): class weight, SMOTE, Underbagging, and a baseline (just the base ...

The transferal of criminal record stigma in the employment context: Evidence from conjoint and vignette experiments

Criminology, Volume 63, Issue 1, Page 89-121, February 2025.
Abstract A common concern in hiring individuals with criminal convictions is the stigma associated with the criminal record, which can include negative consumer reactions. We provide two novel tests of courtesy stigma, or the idea of transferring negative traits from one entity to another, through a nationwide survey.
