Osteometric analysis of the scapula and humerus of Rangifer tarandus and Cervus elaphus : A contribution to the discrimination of Late Pleistocene cervids
(Inst Paleobiologii Pan, 2014-12)
Fossil remains of reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) occurring outside their present range are an important indicator of formerly cold climatic conditions, but are easily confused with those of the red deer (Cervus elaphus). The ...
Association between birthweight and later body mass index: an individual-based pooled analysis of 27 twin cohorts participating in the CODATwins project
(Oxford University Press, 2017-10)
Background: There is evidence that birthweight is positively associated with body mass
index (BMI) in later life, but it remains unclear whether this is explained by genetic factors
or the intrauterine environment. We ...
A “Blood Relationship” Between the Overlooked Minimum Lactate Equivalent and Maximal Lactate Steady State in Trained Runners. Back to the Old Days?
(Frontiers Media, 2018-07)
Maximal Lactate Steady State (MLSS) and Lactate Threshold (LT) are physiologically-related and fundamental concepts within the sports and exercise sciences. Literature supporting their relationship, however, is scarce. ...
Gas analyzer's drift leads to systematic error in maximal oxygen uptake and maximal respiratory exchange ratio determination
(Frontiers Media, 2015-10)
The aim was to examine the drift in the measurements of fractional concentration of oxygen (FO2) and carbon dioxide (FCO2) of a Nafion-using metabolic cart during incremental maximal exercise in 18 young and 12 elderly ...
Detecting the presence-absence of bluefin tuna by automated analysis of medium-range sonars on fishing vessels
(Public Library Science, 2017-02-02)
This study presents a methodology for the automated analysis of commercial medium range sonar signals for detecting presence/absence of bluefin tuna (Tunnus thynnus) in the Bay of Biscay. The approach uses image processing ...
Use of Temperature Controlled Stage Confocal Raman Microscopy to Study Phase Transition of Lead Dioxide (Plattnerite)
(MDPI, 2020-05-21)
The present work concerns the study of the phase transition of plattnerite [β-PbO2 lead (IV) oxide]-based samples when they are analysed by Raman spectroscopy. The laser-induced degradation process was carried out either ...

Multilayer hazes over Saturn’s hexagon from Cassini ISS limb images
(Nature, 2020-05-08)
In June 2015, Cassini high-resolution images of Saturn's limb southwards of the planet's hexagonal wave revealed a system of at least six stacked haze layers above the upper cloud deck. Here, we characterize those haze ...
