The Upper Cretaceous (?Santonian) Aitym Formation in the central Kyzylkum Desert, Uzbekistan, produced remains of a cimolodontan multituberculate (Uzbekbaatar wardi), a spalacotheriid symmetrodont (cf. Shalbaatar sp.), a deltatheroidan (cf. Deltatherus sp.), possibly the asioryctithere aff. Daulestes sp., possibly two zalambdalestids (Kulbeckia sp. cf. K. kulbecke and aff. Kulbeckia sp.), two s...

We present the bundle (Aff(3) ⊗ C ⊗ Λ)(R3), with a geometric Dirac equation on it, as a three-dimensional geometric interpretation of the SM fermions. Each (C⊗ Λ)(R3) describes an electroweak doublet. The Dirac equation has a doubler-free staggered spatial discretization on the lattice space (Aff(3)⊗C)(Z3). This space allows a simple physical interpretation as a phase space of a lattice of cell...

We study higher-order risk preferences, i.e. prudence and temperance, next to risk aversion in social settings. Previous experimental studies have shown that higherorder risk preferences aff ect the choices of individuals deciding privately on lotteries that only aff ect their own pay-off . Yet, most risky and fi nancially relevant decisions in the fi eld are made in the social settings of hous...

Despite their ecological and economical importance, fishes of the family Ariidae are still genetically and cytogenetically poorly studied. Among the 133 known species of ariids, only eight have been karyotyped. Cytogenetic analyses performed on Genidens barbus and Sciades herzbergii revealed that both species have 2n = 56 chromosomes and Cathorops aff. mapale has 2n = 52 chromosomes: Genidens b...

Holey fibers (HF) with their peculiar properties have been used in fabrication of Erbium doped holey fiber amplifiers (EDHFA) for third optical communication window. In this paper, by using scalar effective index method, the analyses are presented to investigate the effects of HF geometrical parameters on the gain performance of the EDHFAs. The hierarchical variations of the parameters, includi...

Social science and religious studies scholars should endeavor to broaden theories, methods, samples be more inclusive. Therefore, we have conducted an “equity audit” of the American Families Faith (AFF) project. We evaluated diversity, equity, inclusion AFF project’s (a) research team, (b) products, (c) samples. then discuss reasoning behind decisions that resulted in existing strengths limitat...
