An articulated and partially preserved skeleton of an ichthyosaur was found in the Upper Jurassic (Upper Kimmeridgian) Katrol Formation exposed at a site south of the village Lodai in Kachchh district, Gujarat (western India). Here we present a detailed description and inferred taxonomic relationship of the specimen. The present study revealed that the articulated skeleton belongs to the family...

Local field potentials (LFPs) in primary motor cortex include significant information about reach target location and upper limb movement kinematics. Some evidence suggests that they may be a more robust, longer-lasting signal than action potentials (spikes). Here we assess whether LFPs can also be used to decode upper limb muscle activity, a complex movement-related signal. We record electromy...

The emergence of modern humans in the Late Pleistocene, whatever its phylogenetic history, was characterized by a series of behaviorally important shifts reflected in aspects of human hard tissue biology and the archeological record. To elucidate these shifts further, diaphyseal cross-sectional morphology was analyzed by using cross-sectional areas and second moments of area of the mid-distal h...

[1] A 42-year collection of 12h balloon soundings from six sites surrounding Greenland reveal distinct patterns of tropospheric and stratospheric temperature variability. Seasonal mean upper-air temperatures exhibit statistically significant correlations with surface air temperature records. Over the full 1964–2005 record, patterns of statistically significant tropospheric warming and stratosph...

25 Local field potentials (LFPs) in primary motor cortex include significant information 26 about reach target location and upper limb movement kinematics. Some evidence suggests that 27 they may be a more robust, longer-lasting signal than action potentials (spikes). Here we assess 28 whether LFPs can also be used to decode upper limb muscle activity, a complex movement29 related signal. We re...

Even though long delay is permitted in Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs), some applications explicitly demand an upper bound imposed on message delivery delay for the application specific purpose. Despite some researcher have proposed to meet new requirement, their approaches have weakness in the point of implementation since infinite buffer space on a node or the knowledge prior the moment regard...

Patterns of tidal microgrowth bands present in acetate peels of shell sections of the Chilean mussel Semimytilus algosus from three tidal levels on a wave-exposed shore were analyzed for the presence of recurring periodicities using numerical tools derived from signal nonlinear analysis. Both chaotic and coherent structure were found within the microgrowth pattern record, with mussels from the ...

[1] We observe a net loss of 3.2 (±1.1) 10 J of heat from the upper ocean between 2003 and 2005. Using a broad array of in situ ocean measurements, we present annual estimates of global upper-ocean heat content anomaly from 1993 through 2005. Including the recent downturn, the average warming rate for the entire 13-year period is 0.33 ± 0.23 W/m (of the Earth’s total surface area). A new estima...

Eocicadellium grimaldii gen. et sp. nov., the oldest representative and first Triassic member of subfamily Karajassinae Shcherbakov, 1992, is described on basis six forewings from Middle-Upper Yanchang Formation northern China, widening duration biogeographic distribution this extinct subfamily. The new data represents known definite record in further explores palaeodiversity archijassids.
