Compressional intracontinental orogens: Ancient and modern perspectives

Optical coherence tomography. Ancient topics, modern perspectives.

Another reported mechanism of thrombosis, inadequate stent apposition, remains a subject of debate. With the use of OCT, it is possible to determine whether apposition of the stent struts to the vessel wall is adequate (Figure C) or poor (Figure 1D), the latter being a factor that favors adherence of thrombi and stent thrombosis. Lastly, depending on the density and uniformity of tissue growth,...

On Greek, Ancient and Modern (but Rather Ancient than Modern)

In this paper a few applications of the current implementation of R are given. These applications concern typesetting problems that cannot be solved by TEX (consequently, by no other typesetting system known to the authors). They cover a wide range, going from calligraphic script fonts (Adobe Poetica), to plain Dutch/Portuguese/Turkish typesetting, to vowelized Arabic, fully diacriticized schol...

DNA obtained from environmental samples such as sediments, ice or water (environmental DNA, eDNA), represents an important source of information on past and present biodiversity. It has revealed an ancient forest in Greenland, extended by several thousand years the survival dates for mainland woolly mammoth in Alaska, and pushed back the dates for spruce survival in Scandinavian ice-free refugi...
