A taxonomically harmonized and temporally standardized fossil pollen dataset from Siberia covering the last 40 kyr
Abstract. Pollen records from Siberia are mostly absent in global or Northern Hemisphere synthesis works. Here we present a taxonomically harmonized and temporally standardized pollen dataset that was synthesized using 173 palynological records from Siberia and adjacent areas (northeastern Asia, 42–75∘ N, 50–180∘ E). P...

Capillary pressure–saturation curves of thin hydrophilic fibrous layers: effects of overburden pressure, number of layers, and multiple imbibition–drainage cycles
Unsaturated fluid flow in thin porous media depends on hydraulic properties, such as the capillary pressure, P c, as a function of saturation, S. We measured this relationship for two different types of compressible thin hydrophilic fibrous layers under varying conditions. Among other factors, we changed the number of...

X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) is a developmentally associated process that evolved in mammals to enable gene dosage compensation between XX and XY individuals. In placental mammals, it is triggered by the long noncoding RNA Xist, which is produced from a complex regulatory locus, the X-inactivation centre (. Xic). Re...

Serial private infrastructures
This paper investigates private supply of two congestible infrastructures that are serial, where the consumer has to use both in order to consume. Four market structures are analysed: a monopoly and 3 duopolies that differ in how firms interact. It is well known that private supply leads too high usage fees, and that a...

Cardiac Imaging in Patients With Ventricular Tachycardia
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a major cause of sudden cardiac death. The majority of malignant VTs occur in patients with structural heart disease. Multimodality imaging techniques play an integral role in determining the underlying etiology and prognostic significance of VT. In recent years, advances in imaging tech...

Divergence of annual and perennial species in the Brassicaceae and the contribution of cis-acting variation at FLC orthologues
Variation in life history contributes to reproductive success in different environments. Divergence of annual and perennial angiosperm species is an extreme example that has occurred frequently. Perennials survive for several years and restrict the duration of reproduction by cycling between vegetative growth and flowe...

Mathematical aspects of three-dimensional water waves with vorticity
The goal of this project is to develop a mathematical theory for steady three-dimensional water waves with vorticity. The mathematical model consists of the incompressible Euler equations with a free surface, and vorticity is important for modelling the interaction of surface waves with non-uniform currents. In the two...

Atomic anions are generally not amenable to optical spectroscopy because they are loosely bound systems and rarely have bound excited states. Until recently, there was only one known negative ion with a strong bound–bound electronic transition, the osmium anion Os−. The electric-dipole transition between the 4Fe9/2 gro...
