Specimen MACN-PV 19.748 (Figs. 1-2, Extended Data 1, 2, 4-6) of Vegavis iaai was collected in January 1993 by the Instituto Antártico Argentino (IAA) research team Bioestratigrafía Ross, headed by Eduardo Olivero (Laboratorio de Geología Andina, CADIC-CONICET). The geological and paleontological field research in 1993 has been conducted by F. Mussel and D. Martinioni, with the skillful help of ...

The front cover picture is an artistic illustration of gold associated with HFIP, represented by a golden ball surrounded banner. This Au/HFIP duo efficiently transformed alkynylnaphthaldehydes to major trans tricyclic derivatives, according 6-enolendo-exo-trig pathway. Scope and limitations as well mechanistic studies for this rearrangement process were described leading functionalized ketones...

Due to the structural similarity of polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) to those of dioxins, PCNs exhibit toxicological properties similar to dioxins (Olivero-Verbel et al., 2004). Based on their high toxicity, persistence, bioaccumulation, and long-distance transmission, PCNs were also selected as a candidate POP for the UN-ECE (United Nations Economic Commission for Europe) POP protocol (Lerc...

We consider the approximation problem of SDE with non-Lipschitz diffusion coefficients. More specifically, we consider diffusion coefficients of the typical form —x—ˆa, used in popular volatility models in finance such as CEV models. In the context of a one dimensional SDE, we present a modified explicit Milstein scheme that allows us to prove strong convergence at rate one under some theoretic...

In patients with chronic liver disease (CLD), liver biopsy is currently an indispensable reference method to assess inflammatory activity and fibrosis stage and thus to estimate prognosis and guide management decisions in such patients. Given that the presence of advanced fibrosis is a predictor of nonresponse, the decision (1) to begin antiviral therapy in cases of chronic viral hepatitis is h...
