Diet of bird‐like troodontid dinosaurs: synthesis of a contentious clade

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Troodontidae is a clade of small‐to medium‐sized maniraptoran theropods that mainly lived in Laurasia (modern Asia, North America and Europe) during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and are believed to have had a variety of diets. The uniqueness of troodontid teeth suggests that they diverged from the typical flesh‐based diet of non‐avian ...

Waiting for a Release: The Expectation in Virtual Gaming Communities

Journal of Consumer Behaviour, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how virtual gaming communities influence and maintain player expectations before, during, and after a game's release. A mixed‐methods study was conducted, comprising a netnography followed by an experiment. First, a netnographic study was conducted over 12 months, tracking communities to understand player behavior and ...

Mini‐Hairpin DNA: Extraordinarily Stable Structure and Its Applications

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Mini‐hairpin DNA fragments containing GCGAAGC and GCGAAAGC form exceptionally stable hairpin‐like structures, with only two G−C pairs and one sheared G−A pair, remaining undenatured in 7 M urea and resisting nuclease digestion. These mini‐hairpin sequences frequently appear in replication and transcription origins, influence DNA sequencing fidelity ...

Mid‐Infrared Spectroscopy and Machine Learning for Chlorogenic Acid Quantification in Coffee

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
Chlorogenic acid (CGA) concentration in coffee was predicted using mid‐infrared (MIR) spectroscopy and a machine learning approach. Forty‐four roasting stages (140–220 °C) plus a green coffee control were analyzed. A multilayer perceptron regressor, trained on preprocessed MIR data, outperformed traditional peak analysis, enabling accurate and ...
