Rare dental trait provides morphological evidence of archaic introgression in Asian fossil record

open access: yes, 2019
The recently described Denisovan hemimandible from Xiahe, China [F. Chen et al., (2019) Nature 569, 409–412], possesses an unusual dental feature: a 3-rooted lower second molar.

Vitamin C‐Assisted Synthesis of Novel Cu‐SSZ‐13 Zeolite and Its High‐Efficiency Performance in Diesel Vehicle NOx Exhaust Purification

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diesel vehicle‐derived NOx is a major pollutant, and NH3‐SCR with Cu‐SSZ‐13 is the mainstream abatement technology. In this study, vitamin C (Vc) was used as a crystal growth regulator to successfully synthesize Cu‐SSZ‐13‐Vc0.3 via the hydrothermal method. Experimental results demonstrate that the introduction of Vc significantly optimizes the

Geology of the Tehachapi Mountains, California [PDF]

open access: yes, 1954
The San Joaquin-Sacramento Valley, also known as the Great Valley of California, separates the Coast Ranges on the west from the Sierra Nevada on the east. The southern part of this major physiographic and structural province is about 50 miles in average

Connecting the first galaxies with ultra faint dwarfs in the Local Group: chemical signatures of Population~III stars

open access: yes, 2017
We investigate the star formation history and chemical evolution of isolated analogues of Local Group (LG) ultra faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs; stellar mass range of 10^2 solar mass < M_star

Technobiological Pathways for High‐CO₂ Capture Using Micro‐/Macroalgae: Genetic Engineering, Process Automation, and Value‐Added Bioproducts

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have emerged as one of the most critical drivers of climate change; this is primarily due to high concentrations and long atmospheric life of carbon dioxide (CO2). For a significant amount of time, various biological processes such as microalgal cultivation, cyanobacterial systems, photosynthetic microorganisms ...

Potassium Migration of Chestnut Shell Ashes Under Oxidizing Atmosphere and Its Modification Mechanism by Additives

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biomass energy plays a critical role in alleviating environmental pressures. However, its relatively high content of alkali metals (especially for potassium) would cause ash‐related issues during combustion. To mitigate these issues, the potassium migration behaviors during chestnut shell (CS) conversion and the modification mechanisms of ...

Paleoproterozic Icehouses and the Evolution of Oxygen Mediating Enzymes: The Case for a Late Origin of Photosystem -- II [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Two major geological problems regarding the origin of oxygenic photosynthesis are: (1) identifying a source of oxygen predating biological oxygen production and capable of driving the evolution of oxygen tolerance, and (2) determining when oxygenic ...

A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

In‐vitro puncture experiment using alligator teeth tracks the formation of dental microwear and its association with hardness of the diet

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract With the development of dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA), there has been an increasing application of DMTA for dietary estimation in extant and fossil reptiles, including dinosaurs. While numerous feeding experiments exist for herbivorous mammals, knowledge remains limited for carnivorous reptiles. This study aimed to qualitatively and
